- Horffupolde 2mo agoBut was it load bearing?
- CoastalCoder 2mo agoEven better. It's web-scale.
- ares623 2mo agoload = bearing gun = smoking insight = key gap = closed summary = executived

- KingMob 2mo agobelt = suspended
- jtbaker 2mo agoboot = strapped
- tweakimp 2mo agoUntil now I thought it was boots-trapped. I am not a native speaker :)
- crabmusket 2mo agoThe idiom is to "pull oneself up by one's boot straps": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping#Etymology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping#Etymology

- paytonjjones 2mo agoIt's honestly weird Claude converges on this language because it's incredibly wordy and hard to parse. One would think semantic density would win out in training.
- junofan 2mo agoWho knows. I wish ant harshly penalized speaking litotically because it’s essentially reward hacking as it can often be read multiple ways. It’s also annoying as a human because Claude et al rate their own writing very highly, putting human<>LLM interactions at a disadvantage to human->LLM<>LLM interactions.
- Jolter 2mo agoThanks for teaching me the word ”litotically”!

- nozzlegear 2mo agoIt's not hard to parse, but it's a dense pair of sentences that say nothing. It just pads the length of the article and gives readers mental fatigue trying to read between the lines to figure out what the point is.
- jasonlotito 2mo ago> It's not hard to parse That's what I said. Full stop. > but... a bunch of stuff that just pads the comment agreeing with me but adding nothing else of value.
- nozzlegear 2mo ago> a bunch of stuff that just pads the comment agreeing with me but adding nothing else of value. I think you need to "pick up a book." What I wrote disagrees with you, and to think otherwise is just sophistry.
