  1. Ask HN: Where to warn people of a legal-but-evil online business ploy?

  2. Ask HN: The most useful LLM agents aren't allowed?

    I hope I am wrong on this: where LLM agents seem like they'd be really useful right now would be doing better search filtering and then initial contact/negotiation Q&As on platforms that match e.g. buyer and seller,…

  3. Ask HN: For LLMs, Create a cultural, palatable norm of noting sarcasm?

    Does anyone else feel inhibited about making a not-to-be-taken-literally comment for fear the LLMs will imbibe it? What is the palatable fix for this? (and if a good one, could HN become a leader in its promulgation?)…

  4. Ask HN: How to work with your response to people with a chip on their shoulder?

  9. Ask HN: How do you comment on a post that has no comments yet?

    I don't see a link to click on, for how to open the Comment form. (Maybe if there is no such form visible,it's an announcement-only post?)

  10. Google Voice number expiration warning is confusing.

    Google Voice will want to expire your number if you aren't using it enough. If the countdown starts, to do so, they should (but don't?) send a warning to the phone number it gets forwarded to. Also, their "expire" /…

    Along the lines of "Education is not the filling of a pail, ...", are there videos that show great teachers introducing a field & its concepts to students in exemplary ways? Particularly elementary school through high…

  12. Ask HN: Does Amazon's 'click to reach customer service' button exist?

    I tried emailing a question to customerservice@amazon.com, a question that does not appear to be addressed by their FAQs or help. The autoresponse said there's a button I can click, to email or chat with them, on any…

  13. Ask HN: Will Chromebook delete all your local files without warning?

    After all of my locally-stored files and some of my login cookies went missing (and my laptop was perceived by at least one site as a "new device") I found from searching that the ChromeOS thinks it's fine to destroy…
