im not against using AI for writing, learning, etc... But if you publish/share writing that is full of LLM-isms, its slop. Full stop.

Yeah, i just call anything thats obviously been generated by AI "slop".

I had never heard of raglan, but started commenting about how this relates to Joseph Campbell's work. Turns out that the wiki article heavily compares raglan and Campbell. I look forward to looking into this all some more. One note - a

I had the same reaction. I was particularly interested in "the dangers of starting from scratch" and it just turned out to be a history of lotus notes. I stopped reading about 80% of the way through, so perhaps they addressed that

Friend, it is bewildering to me that you've been downvoted. This is one of the few sane comments here that actually sees what is going on. I'll happily join you in getting downvoted for saying so.

It's much worse than what you've correctly described. They said "I think it is because we don't have a physical TV in the house"!!! They don't even "let" their kids or themselves use a TV at all! As y

No, you're missing the point. You are bewildered that someone wants to try to limit technology in some way, while literally not having a television - which you call "a damn-useful tool". Can you not see how utterly un self aw

They've had cdn forever. How could cutting storage and bandwidth needs by 2/3 not have been a priority...?

It's extremely surprising me to that something like this - be it with gzip, lz4, or whatever - wasn't implemented at Cloudflare ages ago... And that the task to investigate fell to an intern. These are non-negligible numbers...

> git can do everything jujutsu can do (otherwise, jujutsu couldn't work with git). assembly can do everything [insert high level language] can do. why not just write everything in that?

if you make commits, then you are at the scale where its killer features would shine. In other words, even the most basic git usage is made easier with jj. If you care to learn more, there's tons of posts on hn and the broader web, so

when i saw your comment, i was confused. Then I read the article only to find there's no result shared. Nonsense.

where i live in central america, there's normally rain almost every day from may to September. We've had rain perhaps twice in the past 2+ months. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country (and a mountain range), they have had l

Yeah, it's just offensive to look at. Makes it significantly less likely that the author has useful things to say about font, highlighting etc. Not gonna bother finding out

Hah, I wasn't aware of that. I was sort of referring to what seems to be not such a meme that jblow is always introduced like that. It just seems weird, even if true... Yeah Ive been meaning to watch that talk - I love listening to pre

obviously the example is contrived, but it seems strange me that they are not storing the json in its own column - just extracting a single key from it and storing in a generated column. Why not do that in the app code if youre just going t

Just a cost of doing business. Makes me think of how Apple's legal team was defended/celebrated by Tim Cook for their constant shenanigans - every year they continue to extort App Store developers, for example, they make far more

apologies, i thought you were saying you were switching to SPAs because LLMs understand it better. I see some version of that comment nearly daily now. Carry on!

Again, this is Apple's work. Developers don't make good web apps when they cant work on iOS. https://infrequently.org/series/browser-choice-must-matter/
