It is very noticeable. Funny how it jumps right out when you've seen AI slop often enough. #5 is good and looks "real", whatever that means any more.

It was incredibly refreshing to read an honest story, warts and all, written by a human. And equally infuriating to read a comment about it written by AI.

There are many tells aren't there? There was clearly hard human work and experimentation here, but it's a shame the OP let AI do chunks of the writing. Once you see it, it's much h…

CoreMem lets you build collections of context, called a mem, and share it with any AI agent via URL, a Chrome extension, MCP, Cursor/VS Code plugins, a skill, and more. Instead of …

"Google has made it really easy to create api credentials for own use, just follow these few steps..." As someone who's been through that particular gauntlet a few times recently, …

I second this -- I just found the Ben Eater series a month or so ago and put together his computer clock over the holidays. It really helps you understand clock cycles, logic chips…

I've had a goal for the past three years to learn Assembly language. This December, I finally put some real effort into learning the language. I followed the tutorials in Oscar Tol…

I have never made it to the end of a Wolfram post, or a David Foster Wallace book. I'm envious of people who can read AND understand these tomes.

Yeah it's confusing. They mention https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io but it is just a redirect to https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/tree/main/d... . Like MCP i…

Do you have details on what "optimise for token usage" looks like in Cursor? Or is your point more about how Cursor manages the context window?

Thank you, thought I was going crazy. Maybe this is the new thing, adding grammatical errors so people won't think the content was written by AI.

If it gives any unfair advantage at all, the Astros will figure out a way to use them ASAP. ([1,2] For those that don't get the snide reference to cheating.) [1] https://www.nytime…

I like the idea but it will be hard to build a moat -- if that's something you care about. How about making it more general? "touch grass", "feel sand between your fingers", "hug a…

I had more about a drawbridge but it was really too much :)

The damage is done. You can't overthrow the king (whether you pledge fealty to iTerm2, PowerShell/WSL, Putty, Hyper ... ) if you have to sign up to get past the castle gates. And i…

Same opinion on 1Password's great service. I've found them to be responsive and accessible anytime I've needed them. I'm not seeing all the bugs and issues others are reporting, bu…

For the most part this post was easy to read, and I could feel the collective excitement of the team. I came away feeling like I'd learned something and ready to try it myself. The…

This is like looking at a painting and thinking "what's the big deal, I could paint that." I'm guilty of the same, and yet, I've never painted.
