Weak appeal to fiction fallacy.

Also, trajectory of celestial bodies can be predicted with a somewhat decent level of accuracy. Pretending societal changes can be equally predicted is borderline bad faith.


Weak fallacy fallacy.

Besides, you do realize that the film is a satire, and that the comet was an analogy, right? It draws parallels with real-world science denialism around climate change, COVID-19, etc. Dismissing the opinion of an "AI" domain expert based on fairly flawed reasoning is an obvious extension of this analogy.


Exactly. The analogy is fatally flawed, as I explained in my original comment.

Try ::before and css-counters.

::before has the same problem. You can't align text inside `content:` to the right. Probably because each ::before is handled separately and can't see the sibling's content length.

Ah, I only now opened your example code.

If you wrap the li contents in a div, you can handle them as a unit separately from ::before.

Then subgrid solves the problem of treating nested elements as siblings.

Pardon the ignorance but what's being exploited by someone buying a video game character?

If you buy someone's old gaming account (Steam for example) with many years of activity, you can appear more legitimate when trading, therefore making it easier for people to trust you and fall victim to your scam(s)

I think he was just saying that it is similar business to that. Just drawing comparison that there are a market like selling video games accounts. Also usually people who cheats in games will buy high level accounts because they will be banned much faster if they start playing with new accounts for cheats. This happens in some of the games I play all the time.

To be fair a lot of bloat and gruntness are safety nets we built for our own benefit. Static typing, linting, test harnesses, visual regressions, CI etc. If AI to do the legwork there while I focus on business logic and UX, it's a win-win.

Excellent insight. And thanks for addressing the actual subject rather than the analogy.

We can't even agree on what "is" is...


Not pointless. I had no idea what the original wording meant.


I still don't understand what could've have happened here. I'm not a chatgpt user so I'm not familiar with the UI.

He starts out saying he "disabled data consent". That wording by itself doesn't mean delete the content at all. The content could theoretically live in local storage etc. He says the data was immediately deleted with no warning.

Then OpenAI replies that there is a confirmation prompt, but doesn't say what the prompt says. It could still be an opaque message.

Finally, he admits he "asked them to delete" the data.


I could read all day on a hammock.

Unfortunately that just moves the goalposts to "there's no place to install a hammock in my house".


My previous house had hammock hooks installed by a previous owner. I'm sure you've got somewhere that could work. Or enough floorspace somewhere for a metal hammock stand.


You should try the Hammock District, they may have some ideas.


I've seen standing desks that let you hang a hammock from the frame, but I have a feeling it makes for the worst hammock experience ever.


Not sure if it‘s meant to be, but your comment is a great joke.


Stud finder and some screw eyes


You can totally install a hammock on goalposts /s

Jokes apart there are free-standing hammocks. They take up slightly more space so that may not work.


A must visit, though I have no idea how anyone could possibly get past the single bypass...


If you can’t get past that burger, they celebrate when a real ambulance shows up to help haul you away!
