On OpenRouter there are 11 third-party inference providers hosting DeepSeek V4 Pro right now, of which 8 are US-based and 7 of those have zero data-retention policies (which I mention to rule out any claims of "oh they're making u

You are incorrect. There, now we've both made unsupported assertions. Care to provide any evidence for your position? For what it's worth, when I provide a Pangram link it's because I can already tell something is AI and I&#x

This phenomenon (and/or the fear of being falsely accused) is why I find myself being an annoying unpaid evangelist for Pangram every few days. Right now a lot of people are developing their own heuristics, some much more well-calibrat

This is slightly more tasteful slop than average (I'm thinking probably Claude rather than ChatGPT?), but it's still 100% AI written: https://www.pangram.com/history/c55ab69b-e0a9-49a0-8056-2fcd...

AFAICT they're basically saying "hey lawmakers we're not going to rock the boat or take a stand so in exchange pretty please don't lump us into the app store category"

What does that have to do with anything? These days any piece of text may or may not be AI generated (my money would be heavily on "no" for the post you asked about), but either way it isn't blatant slop so we can't tell

Have courage and trust your own instincts. Unless one is extremely disagreeable it's very tempting to hedge and avoid outright saying "this is AI" just in case you're wrong, but if you're literate and regularly expo

The Kobo Clara doesn't fit in my pocket while the X4 does. An e-reader that I actually have on-hand beats one that I leave in a drawer at home so it was an instant purchase for me the moment I saw one.

Tokens _are_ as cheap as keystrokes. A single keypress by a full-time SWE averages out to $0.005-$0.02 (depending on typing speed and TC). The relationship is obscured because the keystrokes are usually part of a fixed-price subscription pl

The only correct way to ask an AI "why did you do that?" is in the sense of a blameless postmortem. You're the person responsible for giving the LLM appropriate context and instructions and guardrails, so the only reason you

That seems like unnecessary pedantry, only one step short of the common "everything is chemicals" retort. Egg yolks are an ingredient that contributes to the flavor and nutrient profile of the food while also emulsifying. In this

TL;DR: Devs didn't know what they were doing and turned off autovacuum and eventually it broke, then the author decided to have an AI slop out an article about the incident which may or may not have actually occurred.

It doesn't know that because it wasn't trained on any tasks that required it to develop that understanding. There's no fundamental reason an LLM couldn't learn "what it knows" in parallel with the things it kno

Did you write this or is it AI? Not hating, but it pings several of my "AI writing" heuristics and I'd like to improve my model if possible. edit: Never mind, given your comment history this is definitely LLM output.

The unreadability of that example has approximately nothing to do with code formatting, which is generally understood to refer to modifying the textual representation of the code while leaving the actual logic more or less unchanged. Can yo

Now do the comparison if one endpoint is realtime user facing traffic and the other is batch processing which can easily eat up all available capacity and drive up latency. If visa shoppers are overwhelming the normal processing of applican

People still make games for old consoles occasionally as hobby projects, and those are usually released freely as ROM files. I'm not familiar with Japanese law, but in most countries that would constitute a fairly solid proof that ther

"The basic principles of the Python ecosystem" are a dumpster fire to anyone who isn't already desensitized to the situation. Just like 'uv' as a whole, this seems like a meaningful step towards making Python a litt

Sure. But, and I will die on this hill, it's not vibe coding if you're looking at and understanding the code.

I mean, by construction you're only ever going to see the examples where people checked them in and published that. It doesn't mean that other people aren't getting more use out of local instructions customized to their parti

Interesting, I'm surprised the results vary so much for a query with such an objectively correct answer. I tested it on my desktop in private browsing mode because I wanted to see whether Kagi was much better, but figured I should repo

In my opinion an AGENTS.md file isn't an artifact at all (in the sense of being a checked-in part of the codebase), it's part of the prompt. You should gitignore them and use them to give the LLM a brief overview of the things tha

You're in luck! If you search for "canadian visa application" the first two results are "Visit Canada" and "How to apply for a visitor visa" on https://www.canada.ca/

I don't know if GPT-5 is an exception and is overcooked on XML specifically, but in general Markdown and XML seem to work about equally well for LLM inputs, the important part is just that they like hierarchical structured formats. The

While this is really neat work, it's not entirely accurate to describe this as a base model or unaligned. Instruct training does two things, broadly speaking: it teaches the model about this "assistant" character and how the

This is only a problem when implemented by entities who have no interest in actually solving the problem. In the case of apps, it has been obvious for years that you shouldn't outright tell the app whether a permission was granted (bec

What an auspicious coincidence, to see this the same day I finally got around to setting up a proper pseudonym.
