My naive first idea was that (for two people) one set would have even numbers and the other odds. But then the even number person is more likely to win. So it's something around which numbers are on which dice.

It was a question. Should we respect and reward this type of publishing? I'm curious what others think.

Am I wrong for wanting nothing to do with an AI-written article below an AI-generated image?

This seems to be an Opinion piece. How are readers supposed to know that? The word News is underlined in the header. Other Opinion pieces seem to show Opinion underlined. Am I missing something?

YC S27's ScamMyGrandparents.com lets you simulate these against your own grandparents, so you can shame and educate them when they naively wire your college trust fund to a safe account. You are able to refund either the whole amount, or keep some for yourself since they won't know any better. The cost of service is variable depending on how many homes they own.

The screenshot about pho is funny to me. Bean sprouts are not a good source of fiber. Noodles are not especially healthy. The broth base is not fish sauce, nor is fish sauce where broth gets most of its sodium. Slop city!

Interesting that onkernel.com intentionally animates and slows down the loading of the web interface, making it harder to scroll and scan the site. Irony or good design?

Does anyone know if there is a tool or platform that makes it easy to make/publish this type of "leave footnotes on an article"? The UX here is nice and simple, and I think there is utility in sharing feedback this way (vs. blockquotes in email, or Google Docs comments, etc).

At least 4 different types of hops that can be mixed in different ratios, at different times during brewing, etc.

I have a horrifying vision of huge "dongles" everywhere ... like USB/headphone/etc but for cars. $100 each, aftermarket is $50 but they slowly ruin your batteries, etc.
