No, the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine is that they are literal different chemicals. If one could 'add meth'(??) to chemicals to make them more potent, without changing the chemical, it would be the difference

Meh, I think it's more disrespectful to pretend you love someone or feel something noisy just because it seems to be expected. Very 'come a give Grandma a big kiss and tell her how much you love her' vibes

Honestly this has been my main issue with the tech privacy issue for years. I love smart gadgets. I really wanted to go all in and automate my life, and the whole 'personal data' thing seemed like a really fair trade off for what

I think your reflexive disagreement is a testimony to the point of the article. And the fact that you didn't immediately notice what was the authors view vs what they were relaying, may be testimony to the author's good writing. I

Man, if you seriously would exclude someone from social interactions because of the colour of their speech bubble in group messages, I dread to think how m stressful it would be to interact with people who's entire bodies were differen

'Lots of people say this, but I don't agree' really doesn't logically lead to 'therefore, the majority of people probably agree with me'. Lots of people say they love in India, and that is not true for new. Tha

Given that the esteemed Dame is almost completely blind and has never positioned herself as a tech influencer or aficionada, I feel that her (thoroughly deserved) prestige and social power might be a little wasted on the grand cause of &#x2

I also took it as a joke; I'm glad at least one person validated my sense of humour, I was getting a bit worried reading all the replies. At this point, I assume 90% of complaints about the apple keyboard are either tongue in cheek, ex

Short version - OP, you've either pulled a terrifying psy-op or proven that the nearly 100-year old one is still in effect. Either way, I need to be a hell of a lot more discerning what I read online, because if I hadn't known fo

Guys. Look at the title of this hacker news article. Look at it again. Then, read the article again. Look for the bits that don't add up, the way the truth shifts from one paragraph to the next. Not outrageous lies, just the little wr

If your definition of success includes - nay, depends on - arrogance, overconfidence, and style over substance, then it's fair to say that your definition of success differs greatly from many societies' norm. Sure, capitalist, hyp

Occam's razor says the sun orbits the earth, everybody dies from Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome, and the correct way to spell Occam's razor is Okams Raza (in all languages, because lavishes other than English are difficult). It

Absolutely no way are people arguing here that being targeted for one's race, religion, sexuality etc, or being the personal victim of a targeted campaign of harassment and / or violence, is 'just as stressful and distressing

I don't know how it is in other countries, but in the UK using LLMs for any form of paid legal services is hugely forbidden, and would also be insanely embarrassing. Like, 'turns out nobody had any qualifications and they were sen

People keep comparing LLMs (and AI, I suppose) to specialised machines like the printing press or the harvester or something, and often throwing in a luddite comparison. The glaring difference is that specialised machines, usually invented

This is an imperfect search extension. It's a hell of a lot better than nothing, if one is using chrome or Firefox (neither of which are my primary browsers).

Just to be clear, are you asserting that every opinion in this thread that you don't agree with is due to the poster hallucinating, or only specific ones? Do you have any evidence or well established theory to back up this rather extra

I believe the world may contain legal and regulatory authorities that are not part of the United States. Dozens of them, so I've heard.

Awesome, a search engine with an LLM / AI! I hadn't been sure about Kagi before, but this has really swung it for me, I'm off to sign up post haste. It's a revolutionary move that really shows how fast ahead of the compe

Yeah, I'm pretty cynical online but in real life I actively choose to err on the side of trust. It just makes things easier. I've had some annoying incidents from it, but surprisingly few terrible consequences. If you spend your
