> You can just tell an LLM to debate, find out inconsistencies and issues in your writing, and challenge you, and it will very well do that! Sure, but the point is that you are supposed to be able to find these inconsistencies and issu

Depends on what skills you want the students to have. In e.g., philosophy, allowing students to write their assessments with the help of LLMs changes the students’ depth of understanding, as well as their ability to synthesize, formalize, a

KOReader is my jam! With its reflow for PDFs, I've used it on my Kindle Oasis 2 to read everything for my undergrad and graduate degree. Some years ago now, I wrote a script that converts the annotations to Obsidian [0], and then anoth

I suppose a lack of testing and an assumption that the action will fail so rarely that it’s not worth accounting for? But yes, such patterns make it hard to trust and efficiently use an interface.

Yes, the author notes as much: ‘many of them come out as less "stereoscopic" and more "kinescopic" - like little unintentional movies.’

Am I right in that I cannot demo a couple of searches without subscribing?

I don't think you're overreacting. Received mine in 2020 and decided to move as well.

Even just in my family, the attitude has shifted significantly over the last year. Most of my family members are now critical of it and its effects. Add to this that if ~6B people are using the internet ( https://en.wikipedia.org&

I think this is the optimal outcome of the “Slop Police.” Normalization of these acknowledgements. Transparency is good, like a journalist declaring whether they have vested interests.

Yeah, I’m not disputing that, and it’s worth a lot of consideration and research. But, it’s quite far from 36 years.

Might be the only thing that matters to you. And, perhaps, the only thing that matters in a functional sense. But, whether it’s human-coded/written or not matters deeply to some.

Yeah. Still daily driving my two 8-year old OG HomePods. Compared to e.g., Sonos, who discontinued the Play:1 after 5 years, that's pretty good.

Is HN particularly drawn to this over other platforms? I gotta say I don’t quite recognize this. In general, I think there’s a good dose of respect for science around these parts, but maybe I’m blind to it.

Please educate us then.

I don’t know that it should be a generation specific thing. I’m a millennial, and I like their look.
