Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant to relieve the nasal/sinus congestion.

If it helps with your coughing, it’s because it’s stopping the postnasal drip, not suppressing the cough as DXM would by shutting down the cough reflex.

Two different, but very similar use cases. DXM is a god-send in the appropriate time.

Was it Grok 4 Fast by chance?

I was dealing with something similar with it yesterday. No code involved. It was giving me factually incorrect information about a multiple schools and school districts. I told it it was wrong multiple times and it hallucinated school names even. Had the school district in the wrong county entirely. It kept telling me I was wrong and that although it sounded like the answer it gave me, it in fact was correct. Frustrated, I switched to Expert, had it re-verify all the facts, and then it spit out factually correct information.

You should've read further.

In reality, when getting out first to market, it might be difficult for "AI" to decipher if a user added 1 of 5 available sauces to their chicken wings, so to reduce the likelihood of this error, you remove it until the technology is more mature. Speculative sure, but a strong assumption, and I doubt Mashgin would confirm this.

They do that at Circle K[0] today using the same tech from Mashgin. It's meant to be a self-checkout, but you literally have one employee standing and watching this one checkout (sometimes 2-3, but usually 1-2). It's not always accurate, requires some hand-holding at times, and slows down the already slow lines at Circle K. It's a bit faster than the article implies and does not require a staff member, but still slower than a human would be.

Meanwhile over at QuikTrip, there's one person checking out two people at a time. Suffice to say, if both stores are available, I will always choose the QT.

You mentioned there are multiple occasions: You got a quote on that? I did a quick Google search, but the most recent events are hogging up the results and I didn't hear anything literal about him saying what you claim he was saying. If you're referring to the most recent question asked by a reporter, what you're saying is false -- there was nothing literal or explicit about it.

The specific text in the 22nd Amendment states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once"

Key word is "ELECTED," (the loophole) but this is up for debate as the intent of the amendment. Deeper dive here: https://www.factcheck.org/2025/04/legal-scholars-dispute-con...

Obviously this depends on _where_ you're working, but personally, I like the plumber metaphor -- nobody notices the plumber until things aren't working properly and by then you're in deep shit.

Software is working great: Everything's working great, why do we pay you again!?

Software is broken: Everything's broken, why do we pay you!?

Roughly 15 years ago when I entered the job market, I spammed my resume to 36 roles within a single company so 50 doesn’t sound too bad.

It was a Fortune 10 company so plenty of roles and I eventually got in.

It's fairly straightforward. Just take a look at a few of the top comments here wherein the commenter describes not being as dumb (for lack of a better term) as peers for not joining into social media. I'm not linking to them as I'm not trying to incite anything here. Bros need hugs too.

Several of the comments here certainly have some superiority complex issues as well as what would appear isolation issues. You seem cynical towards a large majority of modern society. If you need a hug, I’m here.

It's definitely not 'perceived' abuses according to those in the know... it's been known within the AZ workforce for a while, but has been slowly leaking out into the national news articles. They're "literally violating US Labor Laws" (not my words, but hearsay would agree), but most are either too afraid or don't believe anything will be done.

100% facts. They do.

In prior roles, I've worked at 2 of the largest US airlines that have gone through mergers. There are lots of hard-coded letters in decades-old code that help identify what's mainline, regional, and OA (other airline). We're talking everything from reservations (booking) to revenue recognition (flight departure).

It would be no simple feat to upgrade the tech stack. Hell, some of the mergers are still lingering within the systems because airlines wanted to complete it quickly for the passengers. The backend, however, has band-aids all over the place.

I don't want to google the incorrect information. Can you provide a link that elaborates on this? I have an HSA (~20k right now), don't use it to invest at all, but it is investable within their system, using some preselected mutual funds. I've just been too much of a wimp to risk losing anything.
