Re:Bonanza of new dates rewrites the history of the Inca on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @07:20AM (#50179022)
The article's title is "Redating the Inca empire"
Can you expand on this?
This reply genuinely reads like AI and I don't mean to insult you. Perhaps large language models have been trained too much on your books. Your first 2 to 3ish paragraph (explanation and rephrasing) is very characteristic of an AI when they're pressed (e.g. on why they recently hallucinated).

I can't pipe an MCP's output to jq, and I can't ask an AI to write a python script to call an MCP.

> Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This has that slopccato feeling.

LLMs are trained on real life grammar written by humans. Sometimes the characteristic traits you see by LLMs are written again by human hands.
If the mechanic is under the hood all day, sounds like business is well and he can't support any more customers. Time to increase rates.

Completely agree. OAuth, Auth0, Okta, OIDC.
Re:GitHub Agentic Workflows on Sunday February 08, 2026 @10:28AM (#46935095)
I feel like this solution hallucinated the concept of Workflow Lock File (.lock.yml), which is not available in Github Actions. This is a missing feature that would solve the security risk of changing git tag references when calling to actions like utility@v1

Banner text reads:

The Radical Left Democrats shut down the government. This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.

By removing ellipsis in submission title, the sentiment feels more like "not another meditation" instead of the intent "oh no!: a meditation"

Re:My Bank Keeps on Undermining Anti-Phishing Education on Thursday July 17, 2025 @10:01AM (#44593545)
I see Conway's Law at work here. The marketing department must have its own IT department separate from the IT that maintains the core website and business functions. It's impossible for them to get on the same web domain (much less build something in the phone apps). Instead, they built their own disparate site and experience.
It could be factored in, but many restaurants near me add a fee for credit card use, usually 2% but I've seen as high as 3.5%.

The credit card rewards usually still make sense, but sometimes I pay cash even if I might lose 0.5% on it.

Maybe more helpful would be base 256 so it renders in ascii.
Only the second to last paragraph was necessary.
Derivatives approach is great and works if you're matching on some pattern like \w+, but could it work with "or" characters like (abc|def) or patterns like [a-z]+\d+
Re:Toasts Are Bad UX on Wednesday August 21, 2024 @08:00AM (#41309394)
I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think it's fair that you (a moderator) should be allowed to pin comments to the top. There may be dozens of helpful links sharing or clarifying context in the discussion. The community can use the upvote feature to sort comments.

Exceptions might be made in cases of misinformation or abuse.

"Being nice is the new punk"

I would say helping others is incredibly punk. Such as responding to chat messages requesting help in some particular coding problem. So many people will direct them to a support queue, but I love taking time to understand their issue and help them out.

Absolute science like this, with x-ray imagery, does reveal, or rather, confirm what we needed to know. Independent verification is an important part of the process and shouldn't be discounted.
