This is correct.

The name option is misunderstood. You have options. Sometimes you just have to pick one.

Try going to the ice cream shop and ask for an ice cream but refuse to give them the size, flavour or the type of dip. Tell them it's optional and you shouldn't need to provide this information on order to get ice cream.

Chances are you're suddenly getting a new set of options. A. Kicked out. B. No ice cream. C. Gigantic truck size vanilla icecream with garlic dip and tuna flavour. That'll be $79.99.

You have options but sometimes you have to pick a few.

If you argue for positional arguments, try ordering ice cream: large chocolate strawberry.

Does that mean chocolate flavour or dip?

"Closed. This question is seeking recommendations for books, tools, software libraries, and more."

I have to say I really detest SO for making this a generic rule. These questions are often top Google results and perhaps all the answers were good 3 year ago but it's missing up to date info because it's locked.

Let's try the "reverse the gender" card.

Let's say OpenAI was trained on all the Windows source code (without approval from MS).

GPT could pretty much replicate the windows code with even not that clever prompt by any user. "Write an OS CreateProcess function like Windows 10 source code would have."

It would infuriate MS to put it mildly, enough to start a lawsuit.

I know the license to the MS source code and NYT articles aren't the same.

Yeah, the sad story of Slashdot. It was 'the' place to get hacker news back in the day.

It always had a crazy crowd but was well enough moderated that you kept coming back.

Then just one day shit hit the fan. To me the stories were no longer interesting or you felt they were sponsored. Didn't they get acquired?

That might be why the crowd moderation stopped working. It just turned into a cesspit.

Why would I ever want to reset this counter?

People's preferences, habits and uses vary a lot. Since you are asking for an advice, I think you fit the stereotypical user that would never want to reset the counter.

For my personally I feel like I should replace it based on my habits and needs, not when forced by some hardware.

Related, has anyone gotten a solution to the Oral-B/Braun toothbrush bug where it refuses to start after being fully charged? You pop it back in the charger and immediately it'll have full charge and start again!

I've been caught out on this more than once and I'm not the only one. I make sure it's fully charged and pop it in my travel bag. Then when I'm 2000 miles from my charger I find out it refuses to start!
