Once something becomes political, it becomes intertwined with all the other political issues they're concerned/upset about. Everyone suffers from this to some degree; to many, the only thing they really need to know to form an opi

That sounds reasonable, and I don't doubt that it's part of the reason. Still, iiuc the solution to hallucination is that they can essentially train the model to recognize when it "doesn't know", and to say so in th

I don't use it that much, but I have noticed these AI overviews still seem hallucinate a lot, compared to others. Meanwhile I hear that Gemini is catching up or surpassing other models, so I wonder if I'm just unlucky (or just hav

This problem is has already gotten so much better. In my experience it's no longer 10% of the time (I'd estimate more like 1%). In the end, you still need to use judgement; maybe it doesn't matter if it's wrong, and mayb

This kind of "perf review" hacking works ~everywhere; how well it works correlates with how entrenched the organization is (i.e., how hard it is for new players to disrupt). You don't have to play the game the same way to wor

I agree that on intrinsic characteristics, it makes more sense than gold. But most people do not even think about what 'money' is, and as with anything there's a lot of inertia in established practices. Esp. when a key aspect

I've noticed this tendency in myself and thought about the 'why' a lot, and I think it comes down to subconsciously factoring in the cost of lock-in, or worse, lack of access to fix/improve a tool I've come to rely

Depending on the model year, it may have a stalk for turn signals. The same stalk has a button on the end to trigger the wipers (rarely needed because they're auto-sensing), and then wiper speed/mode can be adjusted with the dials

One of the nice things about bitwarden in particular is that they make it easy to self host (and there's vaultwarden which is even easier). There are tradeoffs, but lockin risk is minimal

If your goal is to 'eviscerate' an opinion, you shouldn't be surprised when people don't engage. If the objective of a debater is to get the other side to simply shut up, they're missing the real value of debate. Th
