Left, right, higher, lower, male, female. People love to explain the brain by dividing it in half, or into poles. Nothing more human than to label, simplify and categorize, even in the absence of higher quality information.

I admit I did not expect an accusation of laziness. Your README makes it harder to understand why your project is unique, why the things it says are good are actually good. It's inscrutable LLM marketing-speak that suggests you had v

I'm confused why the copy you generated repeatedly boasts "no nginx, no Redis" as if those things don't exist independently of application servers for a reason, and as if building something that doesn't need these

This article was written with the assistance of AI. If that bothers you, stop reading here. The numbers are real: every score comes from the ten training runs described below, and the full run log is in the linked knife.day write-up.

I genuinely have no idea what this content is supposed to convey. Even the TL;DR lead-in is inscrutable. If there is one nice thing to say about this, I honestly can't find it.

Yours stays yours. What you keep is never redrawn. What clashes is said out loud. It understands. What you mean, how things relate, what must not move. Pure uncut nonsense

what if it was the difference between not getting the thoughts out there and being able to celebrate the fruits of their labor? I'm sure I don't know what implausible hypothetical scenario to which this could refer. The

Good, the less capable they are, the more students will actually have to learn.

Won't fully dismiss the risk, but... Hard not to believe that AI providers really just see this positioning as a way to juice the nascent market for AI security products protecting against AI-based threats. Gotta make money coming and

I quite like this, particularly that the filter is just a preset! Will be back. Minor UI feedback - when navigating comments (and maybe other stuff) with the keyboard, the actual focus change is blocked behind some automated scroll behavior

Unrelated to AI, who is actually stressing about having to talk to drivers? In my experience most drivers are perfectly happy not chatting. This seems like a truly fake concern. Yet the piece literally says Two people who had crossed

It absolutely was used, and heavily. I won't even cover the "it's not ___, it's ___", of which there are MANY in this piece. But beyond that: Count the lists of three: A guilt-free space to be alone with one&#

Oh it is, no question. All the people who come to AI with years of expertise are feeling it - what happens to all the people who never get the chance to develop it?

Having too many skills files increase tokens even when they don't get fully read. It's a fine line.

Color me surprised. The first book was the only one I got through. Scalzi's characterizations in that one are singular, in that all of his characters think and talk like exactly the same snark-spewing geeky dude. Even the very few wo

No, my view is more like that he was too good at English to write bad English that he was criticizing. Are you sure it's not more likely that we are all way worse at reading compared to the average mid-20th centry reader?

He tried to argue that the second one is worse, but, unfortunately, he successfully simulated one possible interpretation of the original All in all, Orwell simply failed to properly simulate what he was trying to criticize I

TBH, it would take me hours, if not days, to write a sentence this much condensed and easy to understand. This is ridiculous on its face. Did it take you 45 minutes to write your own comment?

You might consider how much of your reading deals with topics that are already familiar to you. Or how closely you're reading things. If you're trying to learn new information, you will trip over low-quality content like this more

Articles don't "try". Models don't "try". And if one prompts an LLM to write one's educational blog, one is not "trying". You are giving an LLM entirely too much credit.

At first blush, it is a really persuasive compromise between full-on LLM inference and boring old fuzzy history search! I really like it, this flavor of specialization gives the user a win on privacy and speed. Seems like the right idea f

Using LLMs to write comments is against guidelines, even if you make the text lowercase.

Love the zoom presentation; the tone of voice is spot-on, if chipmunk-ified!

The question is, have you done something so unique and challenging that your website itself wouldn't serve as a prompt to rebuild the whole thing? Would I spend less than $49 doing so?

TypeScript already is something, where due to compiler issues I just use “any”. Why use TypeScript at all? So Zod is also hard to read and debug. Rebuttal: no it is not. Poorly written code is hard to read and debug; Type

Very cool idea. I was on board until the first turn, then I just felt seasick.

The blog post appears to get confused and devotes its entire second half to pitching Keenable itself. If the idea is to build credibility for the new benchmark, this maybe was not the best choice. Search engines with their own indexes

Entrenched power is leveraged to further entrench power. No way such a bill would have gotten through Congress, even before Citizens United. But is that democracy?
