   Well, with such a trustworthy source, I have to believe it.

   Reminder that AI-writing detection tools are largely junk.

   The Pentagon did agree to those terms, by signing the contract that said such uses were forbidden. They're now trying to change the contract that they don't like.

   Unofficially renamed. Congress hasn't approved it.

   Yeah, next time I'm going to do an overnight soak and see what happens.

   The downside is that mug cakes are one of the few things my dishwasher can't quite handle (yes, even with prewash and preheated water). That and certain kinds of very paste-y pesto.

   I'd prefer to leave them out. That way I can see who's not paying attention when they make commits and are just doing `git commit -a -m "yolo"`.

   That's not an apology. "...if I harmed you". Conditional apologies like that are usually bullshit, and in this case it's especially ridiculous because the victim already explicitly laid out the harms in a widely reported

   Why are we giving this asshole airtime? They didn't even apologize. (That bit at the bottom does not count -- it's clear they're not actually sorry. They just want the mess to go away.)

    Haha, every time IIT comes up, I remember someone pointing out that it would conclude that hash functions are conscious.

    Agreed. I don't think they're lying about it not being a paid advertisement. Like I said, they didn't deny the press release part.

    I believe you can go ahead and cancel your subscription now and it will only take effect at the next renewal point. That helps ensure you don't forget, and sends the signal more immediately.

    It gets pretty bad at times. Here's one of the most mindlessly uncritical pieces I've seen, which seems to be a press release from Volkswagen: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/03/volkswagen-unveils-

    Here's a recent Jonathan Gitlin piece that I found particularly egregious: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/01/exclusive-volvo-tells-u... Absolutely zero discussion of why this might be a bad idea. It

    If the maintainer is trying to write something RFC-compliant, and someone reports a violation of the RFC, it sure seems reasonable for the maintainer to want to track that. If they don't want to, that's certainly their right , bu

    I'm struggling to see any kind of logic here.

    You can try to self-host. Neither Synapse nor Dendrite is in a good state for running a server. I tried Dendrite for a while and it was always playing catchup to Synapse, despite being the supposed successor, and is now not even under dev

    Seems pretty silly to me to rail against AI-generated writing and then say it's good for documentation.

    That sounds nice in theory but how many managers are going to tolerate a rewrite when there is something "good enough" sitting in front of them? (They can't see the tech debt and the vulnerabilities, just that it Apparently D

    I was in middle school in the 90s and I had that URL memorized. Used it a lot as a reference for class projects.

    You think the direct approach would have worked?

    I've tried it, and my account was shadowbanned a few hours after I created it. It's very obnoxious.

    I would agree that the root cause analysis of these two disasters is pretty different, and not super related to capitalism. But I don't think they were really trying to push that connection.

    There's only one explicit reference to capitalism.

    That's wild. Google's AI summaries are so frequently wrong . I hope you understand that you're getting bad info and not knowing which bits are bad.
