    I don't agree at all. First, I was able to search for this by pasting in the comment, because I also wanted to know about whether splitting the G was what he did. So I got two answ…

    This conversation is at a level of triviality where OP did not think it was worth looking up and no one would have clicked through to any source anyway. I didn't even believe it wa…

    I will try to catch you, I'll just fail due to my equal lack of coordination. Never bring a pint of Guinness to a trust fall.

    According to ChatGPT it's the skill of taking exactly one sip such that when you put the Guiness glass down the new beer level ends up precisely through the horizontal middle of th…

    Working at a gig where I couldn't have my phone really put me on a painful dopamine fast, but helped me remember that I actually can focus. So I started working at the library and …

    This does work, especially at the library where you feel like you're drawing a little attention for going in your bag. I also put my phone in a kSafe by Kitchen Safe for 20-30 minu…

    Do you have an automated way of turning off Slack and email for the first 45 minutes of each hour?

    My Excel cut-and-paste workflow is: * Copy the text * Paste the text * Go back and delete the copied text because regular cut and paste breaks all the formulas that reference where…

    > No guardrails to prevent this in the model harness is the first red flag. Did they have no guardrails? The article says "OpenAI said the models' safeguards were intentionally red…

    This is an example of a functional cultural trait -- question and answer style should not be larded up with irrelevant pleasantries and redundant signatures that waste time for eve…

    After thirty years of house prices rising astronomically, you can't appeal to "speculation" any more. People are speculating because the underlying scarcity makes prices sure to ri…

    You never had an option to have Google show a list of curated links or Yahoo show a simple search bar. You chose to go to the site you liked better and in aggregate the market chos…

    If you continue scrolling, that shows you think that the content presented is valuable enough that scrolling past some misses is worth it. A good scroll like TikTok carefully metes…

    "Sticky" is what I was saying. It currently can't be done because of path dependence from historical regulation to industry structure to attitudes. No broader reason. I felt your p…

    I don't think you fully grasped the concept of an option, which is why it isn't illustrative for you; no one is purchasing the right to see a movie regardless of how much it turns …

    This comment is confusing because it refers to the first paragraph and also assumes when you checked your insurance you didn't find transport there. Since the parent did have trans…

    "Medicare pays too little" is based on the "fee for service" model; it only makes sense if you believe the group of people who actually use the ambulance should pay its full cost. …

    It would be better to make the Constitution unamendable than to let people like you get their hands on it. People are just not smart enough to foresee the consequences of their cho…
