I can already tell this is probably some AI Microslop fuck up without even clicking on the article. EDIT: Worse than I thought! Who in their right mind uses AI to generate technical diagrams? SMDH!

You can cut 90-95% of the slop posts by checking the project's GitHub repository. If it has .cursor / .claude folders it should be automatically pushed into a slow queue with the queue shifting every X hours. For example, this rea

Can easily detect the AI slop. It is like how ads were splattered everywhere (and still do) in some old school websites and you would train your brain to ignore those ads. This is coming for AI slop as well. As more and more people realize

What worries me even more is tens of thousands (or even magnitudes higher) half-baked, over-hyped, vibe-coded spaghetti "open-source projects" released publicly for clout or to attract investment. It is like all the garbage papers

Accurate and sane take! Current models are extremely good for very specific kinds of tasks. But beyond that, it is a coin toss. Gets worse as the context window goes beyond a few ten thousand tokens. If you have only vibe-coded toy projects

Microsoft needs to go back to basics and keep the OS dead simple. No AI cruft. AI is good only for certain categories and specific ways of integration. It falls apart quickly if you do not know how to glue things together properly and just

India will be chairing BRICS this year. And Trump decided to fuck with the wrong country, especially when India-US relations were at its peak. This year will mark the beginning of the end of USD as a global reserve.

Corporate tax or even personal income tax is not the same as tax on cost of the product itself. As a corporate, I can structure my expenses in such a way that I never pay tax irrespective of whether the tax rate is 10% or 50%. There are way

My answer is based on typical definition of what sales tax is. I have no idea how it is actually implemented in US and how it avoids tax pyramiding and if it actually can or not. But I know for a fact that ST has no concept of input tax cre

Far from getting a break, you guys are paying tax on tax. You indirectly pay for import taxes every time your companies import raw materials needed to finish their goods (added value) and then that final value (cost of import + added value)

Agree with most of what you say. The only reason I say humans are different from LLMs when it comes to being a "black box" is because you can probe humans. For instance, I can ask a human to explain how he/she came to the con

I am not saying LLM sidesteps cause-effect. I am saying it is a black box. So yes "we just don't know it" is basically describing a black box.

Determinism is not strictly anti-randomness (though I can see why one can confuse it to be polar opposites). Rather we do not even have true randomness (at least not proven) and should actually be called pseudorandom. Determinism just means

I wouldn't say it is a tree as such as at least trees are deterministic where input parameters (seed, environment, sunlight) define the output. LLM outputs are akin to a mutant tree that can decide to randomly sprout a giant mushroom i
