Your post seems to have been cut short before your alternative/technocratic reading suggestions.

Without it, you unfortunately sound like a "just do your research" grifter to me.

As someone who bounced off Morrowind in favor of Gothic (II) because there weren't enough guardrails in place for my old self, how much of the old "here are some breadcrumbs and here's the game's final goal, but the way in between is up to you to find" design intent is in No Mans Sky? I love finding little niche stories, but they have to be crafted with intent, (procedural) environmental storytelling does not scratch that itch. Is NMS worth trying out?

I follow some chess channels on YouTube (among them the usual suspects, Gotham, Chessbrah, Eric Rosen) but do you know of any video content that does game reviews of what you describe?

Thanks for not explaining what TLA is, either.

So this is a similar idea to Project Gutenberg?

The blog post does not read as written by someone who has understood the whole legal process, maybe that's where your confusion comes from.

To be honest, there's still a long way to go.

First, what is the benefit of using this over something established like fddb or any already existing nutritional app?

Second, just translating the words for the units (like cup) doesn't work, because for example while "szklanka", the Polish word for glass, is indeed used in Polish recipes, there it means more something along the lines of "just grab whatever standard glass you have, it will be fine". It explicitly does not mean a unit of measurement of 236 ml.

Third, since you are using a US source you fall into the trap of US defaultism here. The way carbohydrates are labeled is different around the world and I think only the US does this weird thing where you have to manually subtract the dietary fiber from the total carbohydrates. This matters because you essentially give non-US users (and definitely users from the EU) plainly incorrect amounts of labeled carbohydrates.

All in all, cute project and good on you trying to tackle it. It looks okay though the AI smells bother me personally, but I don't think nutritional data is a great place to start for such a project and honestly I will not remember your site in a few days anymore.

My first guess was Texas...

I had a similar thought. What if the result, statistical and significance critique aside, mostly means that when it comes to first-year tutoring of law students, the vibe, tone and overall presentation of arguments weighs a lot, maybe even more than the factual arguments themselves?

In such a framing I don't find it surprising at all that teachers prefer the more polished answers generated by AI, because if LLMs are good at one thing, it is being confident in whatever they generate and present it convincingly.
