Yeah, I completely agree with that reply, thanks for the link. BTW that Reddit post also has replies confirming my suspicions that the technical content wasn't trustworthy, if anyone felt like I was just being snobby about the LLM writ

Maybe I'm too paranoid! If it's not LLM then I don't think it's a very well-organized post though. In addition to the emoji, things that jumped out at me were the pervasive use of bullet lists with bold labels and some s

This article looked interesting, but I bounced off it because the author appears to have made heavy use of an LLM to generate the text. How can I trust that the content is worth reading if a person didn't care enough to write it themse

The question itself would be fine if the asker were actually interested in the answer. What's condescending is asking the question while already knowing the answer, with the unstated ulterior motive of getting the writer to change the

No, Google Reader had a social layer where you could add friends, see items that they recommended, and comment on them. It was really great, but it was ruined by the migration to Google+ before Reader was actually killed.

Yes, in US English you'd say "in school", "in prison", but "in the hospital", for whatever reason. But you'd say "in hospice".

This is interesting but I wish it included some information about the definition of "dissonance" being used. Of course xenharmonic stuff sometimes sounds out of tune just because it's unfamiliar, but also there's a tempt

It's funny that you mention IFTTT because one of the inspirations for its creation was the book Thoughtless Acts? , which is full of photos like the ones in this post: https://ifttt.com/explore/ifttt-the-beginning

I think you're missing that even shallow popular music is fundamentally about the interplay between familiarity and unfamiliarity in a way that's informed by the broader world. Sometimes it's about knowing who the performer i
