There's no tell. Some people just have an overactive imagination and are hallucinating AI authorship wherever they go. I think the HN audience is especially susceptible to this given the amount of comments like GP. Don't get me wr

I think we should start calling it "distillation terrorism" just to make it sound even more absurd.

I often see variations on this exact comment on HN lately, even in response to things that are clearly genuine. Sometimes it's just ESL. In my opinion, whenever there is plausible deniability, just pointing it out is almost always the

Wow, if that is the Mark Dingemanse I think it is, he's an absolute legend in ideophone research. I used a lot of his work for my MA thesis. Always a pleasure to read.

"They suck" might be a bit harsh, but as someone who has used the Surface line of devices since they became good, I agree with your general sentiment. I have similar issues with COSMIC and Plasma 6 on my new laptop. In my opinion,

alephnerd, I have to flat out disagree with your grievances [0][1][2][3][4][5]. The more I read, the worse it gets. The fact that some people in a foreign country feel personally persecuted by the DSA and are willing to bully us around is n

I see where this concern comes from. But I think people overinterpret the EU’s legislative agenda by focusing on which companies get fined. Since American firms dominate the global tech market, they naturally end up in the crosshairs more o

Many languages lack an equivalent of "and". What you do is to just juxtapose the two concepts, or perhaps you have structural redundancies in the grammar. Honestly, we could just use commas: After some discussion back, forth; we d
