The tool looks interesting, but man it is sooo hard to read the LLM generated blog post as a human. Not because the text is bad (it kind of is), but because it doesn't feel like anyone has put any energy and real work into it. So it fe

To play devils advocate: Isn't it that the management had to choose between two potential problematic decisions? What if the management declined the hindu request and then the hindus made a big fuss about it? Wouldn't people screa

Everything around LLMs is blatantly misleading. There is no thought, there is no personality in those programs. I really despise how those tools are trained to sound like a person, or appearing as honest. The worst offender are the AI voice

The work of Zuse is way out of the danger zone, isn't it? Mobile phones with LCDs are in the danger zone, or the phone booth, but not the first working computers ever build.

In german typography the name for widow is "Hurenkind" wich translates to "child of a whore". I was pretty surprised to hear that word on a regular basis while working in text for print. https://de.wikipedia.o

You should stop posting in your own thread. I vouched for this post, because it looks useful, but I understand why you got flagged.

It's open source, so just look "under the hood", I guess?

Now we know why...

Yes, there are quite a few signs of LLM usage in the post, which I also found annoying. But I also had the feeling that someone really cared about the quality of the text and I found only one strange/useless sentence in the post, which

The US is so big, that 50 ms is physically not possible for everyone. This is something that not everybody is aware of. When I as a German build something for germans, everyone who needs to wait longer than 100 ms for a request, is rightfu

While I also enjoyed it very much, some thing are strangely ordered and not how I would expect someone with such knowledge of all the moving parts in a request, would build such a site. So for me it feels like an LLM has build it and the hu

Well, 30 years ago CPUs where so heavy and big, sometimes you'd need jumper cables to start them...

Wow, this article is super smart marketing by tailscale. Not only do they list all the nice and expensive features, that can help in such a situation but they also show that someone at huggingface made a very stupid thing by writing a reusa

And someone was stupid enough to put a reusable tailscale auth key in there.

How does this differ, or is better than ddev?

Ugh, so, sooo much sycophancy all over the place. Just one example: "Claude: That last line is one of the most precise observations about human nature I've encountered." While I appreciate the time op spend creating this &quo

For me the ai voice is bearable, but the length of everything is not. I just get exhausted reading this much text and searching for the sparsely placed interesting bits in it. After 10 minutes of reading, I gave up frustrated.

I think the entire post was created by an AI, and I had a similar negative reaction to it. Nevertheless, it's an excellent post with clear explanations of mathematical concepts. This just goes to show how impossible it is to tell the d

My question was genuine. I have no idea why someone wants Debian to die, so I asked.

Are you aware, that a very big chunk of Linux distributions like Ubuntu are build in top of Debian? Why do you want Debian to die?

Spot on! Comment of the month, I'd say.

You (well your LLM of choice) doesn't answer the asked question. Maybe I'm stupid and there is an answer in this text, but I can't see it.

Is this some form of rage bait? 2005 we hadn't the GPUs, we have today. There are other factors, but I think this is the big one. The mathematics of building an LLM are really old, we just hadn't the hardware to do the needed calc

Oh my, I saw half of these movies as a kid and all of them left scars on my soul. Watching Poltergeist as a kid is like watching Event Horizon as an adult (I recommend watching Event Horizon though).

There is a German proverb, that goes roughly like this: "eating shit is good for you, billions of flys can't be wrong!"

Why the hell was this answer dead? I vouched for it, because I don't see what might be wrong with it.

To be fair, the "beeps and lights a led" part is very important in case of a dead disk in an array. The only time, I disrupted a service in production for longer than a few hours was when I didn't get the email of a degraded
