I've used those occasionally and they seem to be a mix of official guides and user-submitted video clips, but it's not clear where the user-submitted clips come from.

Not the person you're replying to, but here's one that was at the top of the homepage this morning (and that I immediately clicked out of because it had that AI stink). I would bet my next paycheck that this was heavily edited by

This is true, although I can still get behind "use fewer cliches" regardless :)

I don't think they're idiots, or blindly criticizing; but I do think there's a kind of kneejerk reaction spurred by (legitimate, understandable) anti-AI sentiment, plus the fact that most people have absolutely no clue how cl

A week or two ago, when there was a Bluesky outage and a Claude outage at the same time, people were earnestly pointing to that as evidence that Claude was somehow a load-bearing component of Bluesky, or that AI vibecoding had caused the ou

This is over 20 years old, and I'm sure doesn't hold true in all areas, but at least at one point there was high demand to be a "san man" ("san" as in "sanitation") in NYC: > It's a coveted jo

It's mildly anti-fungal as well, which makes it effective in dandruff shampoo since a lot of dandruff is caused by fungal overgrowth, aka seborrheic dermatitis. Another weird/fun one is using bleach as an anti-inflammatory (topica

If anything I think people who only read the headline will incorrectly assume that gloves are full of microplastics :P

In this case, the lab gloves are shedding materials that superficially resemble microplastics under a microscope but aren't actually microplastics. (I was concerned about that at first too because of the overlap between food service

The implication here is kind of funny in that even if you do write legal stuff in language that your customers can understand, most of them still won't read it. And to be fair, I'm guilty of this more often than not.

Agreed; I don't think "Not X, but Y" is a reliable tell on its own, but taken as a whole TFA set off my AI writing spidey-sense big time. The intro takes three paragraphs of fluff (ironically) to say "My product used to

Even if the actual specialist labor had been minimal, there's also the amount of time and effort it takes to accumulate enough knowledge to become a specialist. It's like the joke about spending $200 for a repair guy to come kick

Measles and chickenpox aren't even similar pathogens. Chickenpox is more closely related to herpes! (That's also why chickenpox can come back later in life as shingles, the same way cold sores recur... because shingles is reacti

WCAG color contrast checkers in particular have never steered me wrong. It's interesting (but makes sense) that contrast needs to be higher for small text than for large text!

That's fair! I guess I didn't feel the same frustration with the last few lines because they did raise further questions, at least for me. The AI in the story is so bitter and cruel that it makes me wonder whether it does posses
