I can't believe people are still using the em dash as a flag. Packages like MS Word have converted hyphens to em dashes for over a decade without the user even trying to do so. Honestly, the easiest way to verify if a person wrote some

Most people write badly. Much of the text on the public Internet is written by professional writers, who tend to write less badly. When people use LLMs to generate text, they often ask it to write like a professional. (I haven't tried,

These things are always so misguided, and this was no exception. The only way to have a piece of writing not flagged as AI is to write poorly. Ignore grammar, misspell words, etc. Don't follow basic guidance on composition. Generally w

Sorry, I should have said that running that same stack on Windows/macOS Intel with 16GB resulted in tons of sluggishness in my experience. I would consider that a 32GB workload on Intel, so I was surprised that 16GB was enough for it.

Interesting question. I've never heard "relocators" used in this context, only "transplants." And I am familiar with that usage across cities etc.

Methodology problems aside, do we have any idea how big OpenRouter is as compared to the big providers? OpenRouter claims "5M+" users; OpenAI is claiming >900M weekly active users. I don't really think it's possible

I'll come at it from another angle. Some of the most popular podcasts (and YouTubers) produce hours of long-form video (an acceptable format) daily. Without naming names, some of those convey less information in 2-3 hours of video than

There's "decentralized" in the sense that every device runs the whole stack. In an analogy to another protocol, this would be like running SMTP and IMAP on your phone and laptop. Then there's "decentralized" in

Re-reading my reply, it is worded more harshly than I intended. My apologies. I do think it's a critical omission to not address the main player(s?) who are working on key parts of this, and where they may yet run into problems.

This is certainly one conclusion that could be drawn. Another conclusion could be that as building software gets easier (like it did for ex in the 90s and again in the 2010s), opportunities are created for new entrants to displace Bad Old S
