I love these little anecdotes on HN, they are like a little dessert post-main-post. Thanks for sharing :-) what an incredible thing to have had the scoop on!

Except at least in the McDonald's case you have to eat food to survive, so you may not have a choice. You don't have to go to a chiropractor to survive, so it's better to not go there at all than it is to go and receive possibly dangerous treatment from a con artist.
Remember, there is no science behind what they do. They don't know if they're going to hurt or paralyze you because they never went to medical school!!
Oh, well as long as they're only practicing medicine without a license, I suppose that's okay then...
NOTAMs have so many issues it's not even funny. There's so many of them and 9/10 of them are irrelevant for one.
I think that's a bit hopeful. I think that as long as imperfect humans continue to exist and we continue to train AI models with data from these imperfect humans that vulnerabilities will always exist.
But, again, everyone's experiences are different.
As far as I was aware, their issue was resolved, but sometimes I still see failures so I don't really know.
Also, "US-mandated DNS filtering" would be a violation of the 1A except in narrow circumstances (which don't exist here) so I'm not sure that that should be your first thought...
I mean really:

Oh gee, thanks for the reminder on how the scientific method works, Claude. That's most certainly not something you can count on your audience being familiar with already if you're writing about a...medical case study, of course.
And why are these two points formatted as two cards with excessively long subheadings instead of something normal like a "paragraph?!"
I didn't go to college for software engineering or anything so when I ran into that for the first time I assumed there must have been some good academic reason that was simply beyond me as to why it was done that way.
It turns out that no, it's just as weird to those that do have the formal background, boy am I feeling vindicated ;)
That's one reason why they removed it, because it was causing end users to blame vendors/MS when they often had nothing to do with whatever the problem was.
Sure, the Linux kernel will let you load any unsigned kernel modules you want...but cheating is still possible (and happens) on Windows, so...
(Granted, trying to stop someone from running code on their own computer is a losing battle/stupid idea from the get-go)
But that's fine, even preferable? I love it when my interests and someone else's interests naturally align themselves.
(And as if we didn't trust the compiler enough already!)
