Yes, down to the false equivalence of "human hallucination" with AI hallucination. Except that a human who hallucinates too much will eventually be permanently discredited and espe…

AI customer service doesn't fucking listen. A few years ago, I noticed that my bank had an old address on file for only one of my accounts. When I clicked edit next to the old addr…

You have to cut out feedlot finishing to get those benefits on a macro scale, which would drastically reduce beef output. It's the same problem organic has, but maybe even worse si…

> The data centers in Aurora are surrounded with prairie green space I'm skeptical that they're actually surrounded by American prairie. What are the addresses of some of the data …

Some new ones might be.

For the past 2 years I've gotten backscatter from a phishing campaign that uses a domain I own in the from address. Every single domain they try to get the victims to click on is a…

You can try, but then a different group of people might come around and say it's editorializing.

Unable to titlemax due to HN maxtitle rules.

Oh yeah, uh, sure it's hate speech. It's wealthism. One of the worst forms of prejudice. The wealthy live in constant fear for something that's not even their fault... they didn't …

No, you're not. And idk how people don't understand how "politeness" gets weaponized. This video is an example https://youtu.be/amSIcL3V5C4?is=hmlOx2t7dHg5j-lJ Here, the only way t…

Yes, it would be interesting if the question was formulated like "we're gonna need a password" and this ends up being a lawyerdog situation. https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/25/5748…

Did you try reading the Biological Invasions article they link to? --> https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10530-026-038... It's way past my bedtime, so I will have to r…

There are a lot of people on HN who really don't like criticism of the police, but the surface-level reason will be "it's not technology-related".

I'm frowning upon your use of a good experience that one person had in a completely different context to overshadow a bad use of AI that affects hundreds of thousands of people . T…

They already did a trial which used the trendy buzzword to surveil the nurses. The nurses want to implement controls on that trendy buzzword before it is further misused by managem…

You're seriously saying it's surprising that your PCP had a different response to AI that is presumably not mandatory for him to use? Cmon dude.

No way to know what data sources NielsenIQ is using, but for what it lacks in data from retailers, it probably makes up for by way of consumers' receipts.

I don't know how to estimate the impact tbh. The same article links to https://www.bain.com/insights/weight-loss-drug-users-spend-l... How much does 7% of the population spending 4…

A product advertised as having a 1 year warranty and then the seller not honoring the warranty is the product not being sold as described. But yes, it's my mistake for assuming the…

Nah I thought I liked PayPal as a customer until I found out that they favor large merchants against the consumer. I had a problem with a product and the company was playing games …

Yes, at the lower end of those salaries, you have to do things (and this is one single example btw) like have roommates, which drastically increases your housing instability. Why? …

So the stereotypes are true. My friend in elementary school told an amusing story about his friend, in a Swedish family, who moved from our nice suburb to a suburb in another state…
