I got 900 euros refunded for a delayed flight with the help of Gemini. It was a two step process first to raise to Turkish airlines who refused, and then fill in a form in Turkish to some ombudsman with a bunch of screenshots/proof and citing the rules. I would not have the cognitive space to deal with it alone.

I assume because “land” is a word Claude would choose.

Claude's wording (and knowledge) is based on what competent senior engineers would say.

None of the competent senior engineers I know say "not this, but that" every two sentences.

But what about load-bearing seams that have provenance?

Those are all precise and meaningful words that are very useful in software design.

I really hope I don't have to work with these "competent senior engineers" anytime soon — my codebase couldn't handle it.

On the plus side I would spend all day hearing I am "absolutely right" from a superior being.

It's the only good word here. "Drop" can also mean the opposite and anything else sounds too formal. Don't get me started on "release will release".

Well, they could have written something like "The 2.0 release itself will be in the next few weeks" or "It will be a few weeks before the actual 2.0 release".

(But I agree that "land" is fine here, and the rest of TFA doesn't strike me as obviously AI-written. And I'm not a fan of the "look, they did one thing that AIs often do! Must be AI and therefore bad!" thing in any case.)

"Polars 2.0 will be released (publicly) in the following weeks" sounds far more natural.

Yes. When you have to keep fighting against the tool it’s better to give up. They have spent millions making it exactly like that my little prompt won’t fix it.

Ground news is biased, excellent video about it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CqE-SrgvTh4&pp=0gcJCXACo7VqN5t...

They are in trouble because they offer something 5% better for 2000% the price.

In this example the “exception” that proves the rule though was not a smarty-pants special circumstance. Using AI for shopping is just one of its many normal usages and if anything proves it is used by normal people doing normal things. It’s not like the rare example that happens once in a hundred years.

This is amazing! I've been regularly using sipdroid on my phone, but hadn't been able to find any working solution for my desktop.

I couldn't make it work on my normal Chrome even after setting the MediaStream stream flag, but it worked on the Canary build.

However, it still doesn't work, my mouse pointer keeps being a spinning wheel, and the login button seems disabled. However, it's a great idea!

I've always been using the Candy theme, and I like much better the way it looks with the new design. It's quite girly though, which unfortunately might exclude most of HN readers. But I agree that anything other than the compact display density option makes the experience much worse.

Isn't the process a bit different when it comes to hiring geeks? Being a good software developer for example is a quite measurable and comparable skill. I think the extracurriculars that indicate social skills such as organising charity events etc, would be more relevant if you're a manager or a consultant; but if you are a developer or a mathematician, would people mind a bookworm?

It's very different, the first step of a ticket to an investment bank, consulting firms etc is your "super-elite" school name.
