I've edited the above to clarify the issue in GP's shoes example was meant to be about the previous return being stained with socks in the box, not just that it was shoes in general.
Makes sense :) My bad for not understanding what you meant there.

On the flip-side, LLM's can be pretty good at coming up with almost water-tight stories for the insurance claim!
I read and article on here some months ago titled something like "Leftist usecases for LLMs" and one of them was negotiating bureaucracies, and that reminds me, I need to call back JCP&L about my Board of Public Utilities complaint that an LLM helped me out together. You see, I live with in a rural area and especially since LED light bulbs have become the thing, it's been clear that we are delivered far less than 120…
I’ve seen half a dozen houses on a single 7.2kV -> 240V 25kva transformer which can lead to problems given the available current on the secondary side is only 104A. As the transformer overheats you get voltage drop, as you’ve noticed ;)
Your supply voltage should be +/- 5% of nominal, 115-125V line to neutral and 230-250V line to line, appliances are generally OK with +/- 10% from nominal voltage.
Two months ago I had a water pipe burst in my house. Now I am in the claims process with the large insurance co., using Claude to basically run my side of the claim — reading the policy, organizing and filing the ALE receipt scans, reading and notifying me of messages from the agents, calling out when they are delaying too much or not fulfilling their promises, challenging their decisions on what to cover based on th…
> On the other hand, Claude is calling out her BS and delays, which have been atrocious—so much so that Claude is now adamant that she has gone too far and that I should be filing a complaint with the state insurance bureau. My first guess: She is wildly overworked and that is an insurance company strategy. This is an interesting customer strategy. Have you escalated your concerns to her management? Have you explaine…
I'm gonna use chat gpt in a few months when getting a new lease. I'll know in real time if I'm getting robbed.
Yup - by checking your Claude usage meter.

In most states, the answer is fixed by law at either zero or one depending on whether you count insurance, because medical practices must be wholly owned by doctors.
Yes, but that's still like 20 states that don't have strict CPOM laws.

The behavior described in the immediately above comment (ordering multiples and returning ones you don't like) is not abuse. The behavior described above that (lying about a defective item) is abuse. Dealing with returns is the tradeoff that online sellers make in order not to put a store in every city or to deal with retail arrangements.
> The behavior described in the immediately above comment (ordering multiples and returning ones you don't like) is not abuse. Oh yes it is. Buying something you know you don't plan to keep is abuse. If you ran a store, would you be fine with 2/3 of your orders being returned? A good litmus test for "am I being an asshole" is "what would the world look like if everyone behaved like me?"

You should. It's their fault for picking a bad vendor. It's their fault for not finding someone with taste to solve the problem. Fundamentally its their business, pretending you can blame someone else for your ultimate accountability is stupid. Nobody is forcing you to take poison, and saying "Well Microsoft promised me it isn't poison!!!" at this point, decades into it selling poison, doesn't make much sense.
I think that we need to start blaming vendors for blatant lies. Systematically, again amd again. And actually punish them. Somehow the "accountability" shifted from meaning "being reaponsible for not defrauding, lying" into "it is fault of people who were lied to".
It's like a person voting for Trump the second time being confused at all his lies, at this point basic education would get you out of this.

If you were monitoring the power coming into your house, why did you need claude to "put together a whole packet documenting brownouts"? Shouldn't you just have the raw data, maybe highlighted with the offending parts? Or was the prose of your complaint the issue?
There is still a lot of work to take the raw data and put it into a useful format. LLMs are really good at that (when they don't hallucinate data).

How big is the transformer and how many residences are sharing it? It’s probably stencil painted on the enclosure.

Like I said, it routinely drops to or below 100v. It's most noticeable after an outage is restored when everyone's hot water heaters and fridges kick back on at once.
