Recently I searched Google for a slightly unlikely phrase — in quotation marks — and Google proudly told me that my phrase was grammatically correct. And nothing else. They didn't give me any search results. Or even…
Moving to another country is a nightmare because you cannot bring your phone number. I am currently paying for a US phone number I don't meaningfully use, because it's not clear that all of my important account-holding…
My experience is that the major limiting factor in finding partners is whether people "click" with me, not whether people are single. In other words I'm better off going to an event with my kind of people and looking…
Arguably the problem is that copyright enforcement has been farmed out to private middlemen with a fast and loose process.
Do you still feel uncomfortable if you cannot see outside the train at all (i.e. not even in peripheral vision)? My understanding was that the effect was caused by the scenery outside the window moving in a way that's…
Discreet users, or discrete users? (I initially assumed you meant discreet, i.e. not wanting to share login details, but the comment read oddly as a result.)
I assume you're referring to the graph on the page you linked. Is there an explanation somewhere of exactly how it is calculated? I tried to read the "article" underneath the graph but it just seems to be a disjointed…
Every rational number is a p-adic number (though not necessarily a p-adic integer, of course). So doesn't that mean p-adic numbers would be below rationals?
This is speculative and based on a possibly not-representative sample, but what I've noticed from watching bodycam footage is that when the suspect asks for a supervisor, the police give negative/discouraging replies to…
You're an AI, aren't you?
Strictly speaking they're all non-piano intervals, just some are more non-piano than others. (Or you can retune your piano …)
The mute on the touchbar on my MacBook Pro has a slash when unmuted (and also when muted). It looks like this unmuted: https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/e909bffc-81... and this muted:…
There's an impressive amount of detail about what was actually wrong with the system in the judgements from some of the previous cases; I think the main one is this one:…
My impression is that it's a technical case (not just about software, but really also about how accounting evidence should look) and that it was subverted by misleading testimony from the needed expert witnesses. I…
Triple damages, that reminds me of something … if you happen to live in Massachusetts you might be able to send them a Chapter 93A letter (which entitles you to triple damages if they don't attempt to settle in good…
> it endears users This time I am speaking solely for myself, but your grammar alienates and enrages me.
I watched the demo video but I can't get over using E in the bass in bar 5, where D would normally be expected. (Yes, it should be possible to use chord V11 here instead of IV if you really want, but you would need to…
You only have to counterfeit it to the standard of Amazon's returned-items check though, not to the OEM's standard.
The point is to find a way to have the 90% questions answered by a machine, and the 10% by an expert human. And LLMs are (another step towards) making it hard to argue that this isn't feasible or isn't a good experience.
Meanwhile, on the London Underground, the lengths of all sets of stairs down to platform level are described as "equivalent to 15 floors" irrespective of how high they actually are:…
You're organising the office dinner party and each employee has brought exactly one spouse (who is not an employee). You wish to seat the attendees alternating employees and spouses, perhaps so that the spouses feel…

'Kid gloves' are fine gloves made from the skin of a baby goat. Not from … whatever you thought.
No, we're just in an equilibrium where everyone reclines. To be a PD it would have to be better for everyone if nobody reclined. We're in, perhaps, a tyranny of the majority, but those are everywhere. As I'm sure you've…
Seat pitch has decreased significantly since the internet was invented. It's hard to take seriously any discussion that doesn't take that into account. (Also, a lot more people have laptops than in the '90s. IME it's…
