If you’re really good at customer service (i.e. manipulation), you’ll say the price just went up 10% this morning, but you’ll get a discount of the same amount, because you’re such a great pal. Basically just the normal price, but it feels nicer.

I suggest we switch to Planck based units. Just slap on a suitable multiplier to make the final unit practical in normal life and engineering. Basically like the mol unit but with a more precise and natural foundation.
If the fundamental constants of the universe aren’t exactly constant, we’re screwed and there are no good units.
Yep. This stuff is surprisingly complicated, and that’s why we need to measure the day using a standardized unit instead of defining the unit with the day.
Incidentally, Wikipedia has a nice graph about the variation of the length of day. It’s surprisingly messy and pretty far from the ideals of antiquity.
Best of all, none of those natural reference values are constant. They drift gradually, and lunar months won’t be 30 days forever just like a day won’t be 24 hours in the future.
What could possibly go right.
In my area, pretty much every TV channel has narrowly dodged extinction by starting to offer streaming services. They have a mix of American reality trash, Icelandic crime drama, British comedies etc.
I really like the idea of having my own server, where I could have a bunch of cool stuff like email, VPN, Nextcloud, and so much more. The primary reason why I don’t have a server like that, is because I can’t trust myself to follow the best practices. For a while now, I’ve been thinking that I should hire a proper professional to take care of all that.
The classic “I didn’t have the time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead” excuse doesn’t really apply any more. Ramble as much as you feel like and let the LLM worry about refining it into coherent communication. Minor tweaks are also welcome, if the original post is short enough.
Yeah well, passive components are nice, but occasionally you just need to spend some energy to keep the components doing its thing.
Can confirm. I usually swipe so aggressively that weird mistakes sneak in. Plus, I tend to ramble, so having an LLM clean up the mess I leave behind is genuinely helpful. Even this message was proofread by one to fix all the silly errors I tend to make. Before posting, I still double-checked to make sure the core message matched what I intended. Sometimes they tweak things too much or throw in something unexpected.
You can tell it was rewritten, can’t you? All that fancy language just doesn’t feel quite natural.
Others might call it straight-up lying, deception or even misleading. Calling it “Amazon sales policy” just makes it sound nicer.
