It is very noticeable. Funny how it jumps right out when you've seen AI slop often enough. #5 is good and looks "real", whatever that means any more.

It was incredibly refreshing to read an honest story, warts and all, written by a human. And equally infuriating to read a comment about it written by AI.

There are many tells aren't there? There was clearly hard human work and experimentation here, but it's a shame the OP let AI do chunks of the writing. Once you see it, it's much harder to take the post seriously.

"Google has made it really easy to create api credentials for own use, just follow these few steps..." As someone who's been through that particular gauntlet a few times recently, I got a chuckle from the sarcasm.

I second this -- I just found the Ben Eater series a month or so ago and put together his computer clock over the holidays. It really helps you understand clock cycles, logic chips, etc, and is a good foundation for the 6502 kit you build l

I have never made it to the end of a Wolfram post, or a David Foster Wallace book. I'm envious of people who can read AND understand these tomes.

Yeah it's confusing. They mention https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io but it is just a redirect to https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/tree/main/d... . Like MCP itself t

Do you have details on what "optimise for token usage" looks like in Cursor? Or is your point more about how Cursor manages the context window?

Thank you, thought I was going crazy. Maybe this is the new thing, adding grammatical errors so people won't think the content was written by AI.

If it gives any unfair advantage at all, the Astros will figure out a way to use them ASAP. ([1,2] For those that don't get the snide reference to cheating.) [1] https://www.nytimes.com/article/astros-cheating.html

I like the idea but it will be hard to build a moat -- if that's something you care about. How about making it more general? "touch grass", "feel sand between your fingers", "hug a tree" ...

Same opinion on 1Password's great service. I've found them to be responsive and accessible anytime I've needed them. I'm not seeing all the bugs and issues others are reporting, but I have noticed a couple of odd UI chan

For the most part this post was easy to read, and I could feel the collective excitement of the team. I came away feeling like I'd learned something and ready to try it myself. The only time the post gets a little fuzzy is "...sto

This is like looking at a painting and thinking "what's the big deal, I could paint that." I'm guilty of the same, and yet, I've never painted.

You're not necessarily wrong, but you may also be throwing stones from a glass (Substack) house. Barely made it past the fold before I was nagged with a Substack popup.

Say what you want about him, but George is one of the few people I know that can actually go a mile wide and a mile deep into any field they choose. And he does most of his digging live on stream, so he makes an easy punching bag. Do I thin

That's Insider for you. They're often more concerned with doing exactly that than doing good journalism.

Reminds me of the George Costanza line from Seinfeld, Jerry (on Keith Hernandez): Yeah, he's a real smart guy too. He's a Civil War buff. George: I'd love to be a Civil War buff. What do you have to do to be a buff?
