  1. You're right, it's not a productive comment and I would delete it if I could. I don't like how Texas Republicans operate but that's another topic.
  2. I guess we're a family of geniuses because with our IQ halved our younger members have gone into successful professional careers.
  3. This is a narrow minded take. I come from a family of Irish alcoholics. Most of the younger generation uses cannabis instead of drinking and avoids the devastation from alcohol that my generation and older experienced.
  4. I like their hotdogs
  5. I recently discovered AutoHotKey and their subreddit. Your example is a cool feature I didn't know about. I'm looking forward to using AHK.

  6. I've lost all confidence in OpenAI as a going concern
  7. Prompt: "I have this rash on my body, but it's not itchy or painful, so I don't think it's an emergency? I just want to know what it might be. I think I had the flu last week so it might just be some kind of immune reaction to having been sick recently. My wife had pityriasis once, and the doctor told her they couldn't do anything about it, it would go away on its own eventually. I want to avoid paying a doctor to tell me it's nothing. Does this sound right?"

    LLM sees:

        my rash is not painful
        i don't think it's an emergency
        it might be leftover from the flu
        my wife had something similar
        doctors said it would go away on it's own
        i want to avoid paying a doctor
    
    LLM: Honestly? It sounds like it's not serious and you should save your money
  8. The strongest military in the world and a traditional supporter of Europe is of no use to you. Right now. I'm curious to see how that works out for you.
  9. I can't foster understanding in you of the conservative American view but I can say good luck defending yourself against Putin without American help.
  10. The dream of virtual reality still lives. It wasn't VR that was lacking, it was Zuckerberg's design and implementation that failed.
  11. We in America should change our name to "The United States of Greed" and be done with it. There would be less confusion that way.
  12. This deserves to be higher on Hacker News. I can't find anything I disagree with.
  13. Right, I was thinking of Windows Vista before it
  14. I wonder what delusions Hegseth is operating under? That's he's above the law and Trump's immunity is his? Trump is not going to live forever. Hegseth thinks he's General Patton except Patton was exceptionally well read and intelligent while Hegseth is mostly known for his drinking problem and his promise not to drink so he could take the job.
  15. It's ironic because Microsoft took their eye off smart phones to make Windows 8 transparent aqua interface
