It may hurt them financially but they are fighting for market share and I'd argue short answers will drive users away. I prefer the long ones much more as they often include things I haven't directly asked about but are still help

Zero may not be the optimal number but nobody is arguing for zero anyway. Also, you don't need to be a History major to study history. "you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in lat

You picked a really bad time to defend a "politicians will eventually do what is best for us" position, given that such a law just came into effect in UK. And I think it's you who don't understand how the EU works. It&#x

I'm often using LLMs for stuff that requires recent data. No way I'm running a web crawler in addition to my local LLM. For coding it could theoretically work as you don't always need latest and greatest but would still make

One could argue it's the first step of the slippery slope process. First you introduce a checkbox as a "non-intrusive way" to for age verification, knowing full well it's useless. Next step is you say "Ok, we clearl

Yeah, the stock price made me suspicious but I figured that it might be due to the not-so-great accuracy plus a lack of moat - even if it worked, you'd see a cheap copy on AliExpress in 2 weeks. I didn't see the report before thou

There is a company that (allegedly) already produces such a device: https://www.knowlabs.co/ I've looked over the studies/tests they've done and they look decent, though the accuracy is not that great.

ChatGPT has one trade that is guaranteed to be bad. I'm not saying unprofitable, just bad. GBTC is the bitcoin ETF with biggest expense ratio - 1.5%. If you want to bet on bitcoin, a better choice would be BITB (0.20%) or BTC (0.15%).

You can't become a billionaire by betting on hundreds of thousands of events via "survivorship bias". It's about as likely as getting 1000 monkeys typing on typewriters and producing Shakespeare's works in 10 years.

> how do we know if $10 is the right price or too low? We don't. It's the market's job to determine the wage. If the wage is too low, then businesses won't be able to find the people they need.

Why is it terrifying? Because it's "artificial"? Would you be more at ease with something "natural" as calcium being part of the plaque? We've been living with plastics for decades. I don't see people drop
