Wow - this exact same bug has been happening to me too. I gave up on troubleshooting it after the first few attempts came up with nothing, assumed it was just unique to me.

Why would this be implausible? ChatGPT user sessions were found publicly exposed to the internet not too long ago. Moreover, OpenAI has continued to play a hype-marketing game by revealing how their models keep breaking out of the sandbox.

Telling me that you’ve unilaterally decided to lobotomize a product I already paid you for, and then thinking that I’d like the privilege of purchasing additional goods from you - even at a discount - is certainly something. Gotta juice tho

A good example of this is their meat department, specifically beef as an example. You will generally find that Costco is not any cheaper than your regular supermarket, but the product you’re getting is graded USDA Prime or better. There was

This honestly sounds like the electricity service line into your place is fucked slightly and it is gradually destroying your electronics.

If that is the only reliable signal in this context - what signals of measuring value are available in this context that you feel are unreliable?

public transit benefits the community/region more so than any individual benefit, so I don't think cost per passenger is appropriate either. Sometimes basic science research funding is framed in terms of "this program generat

Dynamic routing destroys the value proposition of a bus route entirely. The whole point of a system of bus routes is that you are providing a _reliable_ system of stop locations and times for passengers to use as individually necessary. How

Public transportation does not need to be run at a profit - it is a public utility, just like mail service. What better metric could we use to compare private driver services to public transit? We can roughly assess the economic value added

public transportation is a service, a public utility, not a business. it should not need to be profitable, and framing it terms of profit at all is wrong imo.

It is not about stating a source, the bad thing is treating chatGPT as an authoritative source like it is a subject matter expert.

I remember feeling like a power user upgrading from Frontpage 98 to Dreamweaver and being able to hot swap between code and the live view. Dreamweaver rolled a ton of then-groundbreaking features into a great interface.

> The hyperbole is a bit much for me. It shouldn't amaze me, but here we are. Partisans are able to construe spending cuts and shrinking the purview of the state, with authoritarianism. It is easy to construe blatantly illegal and f

Your failure to understand that the knife remaining in your body is, in fact, going to keep you alive longer than if you pulled it out is exactly the problem. Leaving the knife in hurts like hell, but maybe it’ll kill you slow enough that y

There are less harmful ways to accomplish it theoretically, but exactly zero of those methods are as industrialized - or as regulated - on the same scale as the international maritime shipping industry that already exists. Put the sulfur ba

Yes, you’re right. There are certainly other aspects that would require change too. But the point is the same: we only transitioned recently, so going back is a known quantity - and now we know exactly how it will impact the worldwide clima

Putting the sulfur back into the fuel is maybe the single most effective thing we can do for the planet right now. Yes, polluting is bad and indirectly harms millions over time — but ocean heat spiking will directly harm billions imminently

The rate at which we are collecting data far, far outpaces the speed at which it is being analyzed. There will almost certainly be more discoveries like this as we continue surveying the cosmos with increasingly sensitive instruments.

Yes, that’s exactly why we banned bunker fuel - but we didn’t realize that it was helping keep ocean surface temperatures from skyrocketing. The worldwide harm and injury cause by bunker fuel pollution is utterly trivial compared to the cat

We really gotta put sulfur back into maritime fuel, immediately. We thought we were doing the right thing to try to reduce a major source of pollution… but it turns out that those sulfur fuel emissions were also unintentionally geoengineeri

several offshoot Canadian subreddits, like r/onguardforthee, were created several years ago when a number of users felt that the existing r/Canada subreddit discussion was being manipulated. I don’t recall the deeper substance of
