    I know you are being sarcastic, but for others: I saw one literally yesterday of a game and wildlife officer tasing a man pumping gas. The gas spilled and then caught on fire. The …

    You could say the same when applied to games with high RNG and chance, such as Slay the Spire 2, and yet those with real skill do perform far better than those without. Those with …

    Flock has been known to lie and there isn't any reason to believe they are telling the truth. Why would they? There isn't some duty for them to tell the truth in an article. Trying…

    Regardless of usage patterns, oil simply can't go above a certain price or a chunk of the northeast dies in winter. This war is the largest self inflicted wound to the US in histor…

    Pangram believes this is 100% AI generated. High confidence. If you just used AI to edit your work, then it would say it was human influenced or low confidence, which is contradict…

    Might as well base the valuation on SpaceX getting a colony to Alpha Centauri and then billions living there and needing regular SpaceX shuttle services from Sol. Then we could pro…

    It's dumber than that. People are shamed for using LLMs at all. So they use them privately, hide them, or disguise their use. They are definitely being used for public projects. Bu…

    Disappointing such basics of vaccine and disease spread theory have to be explained on HN, and you explained it very well. The US is under such an enormous disinformation campaign.…

    What that page doesn't tell you is the precedence courts have set for those tests is so high that nearly no one qualifies for them, and thus it is the case that the loans are virtu…

    Then you don't know anything about the man. He intentionally inhaled large quantities of leaded gas to prove it was safe to on lockers. He would then spend months in Florida recove…

    Anyone know what the refresh rate for these displays are, at least with the stock firmware? Reading the datasheets didn't help, though maybe I didn't know what to look for.

    Those mechanisms don't work. Unless the driver was a hit and run or DUI, even fatal crashes almost never result in any charges if the driver claimed they "never saw them", especial…

    LLMs lack context, and I found the more information I provided the better. At some point it was better to just talk to the LLM like I would anyone else. For that matter, LLMs were …

    Cool, the price of solar right now is $30-$85 / MWh, and that range is dependent on whether you got storage included in the bill or not. And that price will only get cheaper, as bo…

    I remember reading about this then and I am no where near the biomedical field. I almost couldn't believe we are still talking about the same causes of alzheimers 16 years later.

    Ok, but that only benefits them. If they actually believe this stuff is so dangerous, they should shut down their company, and use their fortune to buy up/shut down all the others.…

    Yes, which is nothing compared to the destruction wrought by oil companies, steel manufacturing, meat production, concrete, energy, and transport. Which have actually destroyed our…

    Bizarre to say that. When I have it perform work on a bespoke code base on a niche videogame, in a less commonly used language, is that still "regurgitating stuff"? No, it is impos…

    That sounds more like the extractive setup of corporations like IBM, where return/specialist must be maximized against the number of clients that can be juggled simultaneously. Whe…

    Yes, there have been standards for years already. It was proven in s US city some time ago when it faced a bad drought. Las Vegas is a 100% closed loop system. All grey water is re…

    This becomes clear to anyone that wants to do marginally complex work. Developing pipelines that combine pre-processing flows, semantic targeting, and minimal contextual calls to a…

    There is an argument for that being an opinionated part of the Java language, and as i hear it, opinionated programming languages are all the rage. Fwiw, I like that class names an…

    The second one is almost always used by Healthcare companies in my experience, in a backwards attempt at HIPPA compliance. They want to make sure they called the right person. Exce…
