Is this normal for SaaS?

Multiple people have mentioned this study that shows ChatGPT performs better when the user is nicer to it but I have never been able to find it.

Does anyone know the name of the study or have a link to it.

I thought Americans being sold on Indian spiritualism was a 90s thing.

Your comment made me look up Canada's food guide. When I was growing up I remember dairy being heavily pushed but if you go there today, there's no mention of it.

There are chrome/firefox extensions that turn shorts into normal videos. I also block the shorts shelf with ublock.

Do you not like icebergs? I thought they were nice ways to organize information on a topic/community.

I hate charging wireless headphones cause I wear them all the time but I also end up breaking every pair of wired headphones I have in a few months.

Fun idea but it would be nice to sort countries by total number of button presses.

Re:Ask HN: Is anyone else bearish on OpenAI? on Monday November 13, 2023 @05:49PM (#38256448)

I'm a grad student and I don't really use it for my job but ChatGPT is something millions of people use daily so I think it has a future.

If it becomes as big as Google depends on what Open AI does, Google didn't become as massive as it is just off search.

Re:YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin on Sunday October 29, 2023 @04:56PM (#38062702)

I feel like if you're the type of person to download uBlock and set specific filters you're the type of person to never click on an ad on purpose.

I don't understand why Youtube is doing this, wouldn't it make their numbers look better if the people that won't click ads never have them delivered to them (5% of users clicked on ads vs 1% of users clicked on ads)

Currently, in the same boat. Grad school + full-time job + TA work (I know I'm an idiot for doing TA work on top of this). I have no social life, I barely have time to cook.
