  • From what I've seen, the slower average time is made up for by having more of the stations. Depending on arrangement, you can fit three self checkouts in the same area as one traditional checkout. In my experience, the self checkout line is always moving faster overall.

  • I'm also not an employee of the vending machine company. I'm also not an employee of the gas station.

    I don't really see what added value a cashier checking out my items for me has.

  • Except there's plenty of issue. Do you think none of those people, whom you already know are inconsiderate, are going to lie about their weight? Hell, they don't even have to be knowingly lying, their scale at home could just be wrong. Now you have to deal with price adjustments at the gate, and you know people are going to argue with the attendants about that.

  • You don't fly much, do you? Getting through check in is a pain in the ass enough as it is, and now you want to add a weigh in and price adjustment step for every person onto that?

  • Every application kind of needs two modes: a default mode where the user is railroaded into making the right decision, and an "I'm not an idiot and will actually read the documentation before/after trying to make things work" mode. If you stick the toggle for the two modes somewhere that you'd only find by reading the documentation, people will automatically categorize themselves into the mode the ought to be in.

  • Alright, hear me out: we split up Alphabet. Ads and search can be one company, since those two are always going to be related, while Chrome, Android, and the hardware division become the other company. This should help reduce Google's current incentive for privacy invasion.

  • Depends on what knowledge we are talking about. Personally, I'd be feeding it tons of manuals so that I could ask questions like "Which version of software x introduced feature y?" There's no extra context I need, I just need a version number to give to a customer. And in my industry, that type of info just doesn't show up on Google. So having an LLM that can answer the question in seconds saves me an hour of sifting through manuals.
