It's sorely missing a few figurative usages of "quietly", too. And not to forget the "honest caveats" and "smoke tests".

His large comment here is blatantly LLM slop as well. 100% on Pangram, but it's not like one need it to realize that. Just a bleak situation in general how few people here can tell…

I mean, the comment you are replying to is absolutely AI-generated; I wouldn't say being able to prompt that is any direct evidence of deep understanding of networking. The website…

Reminds me how people on 4chan/g/ back in the day (mid to late 2000s I think?) would start threads where one user put up a livestream of a movie on some IP address, and the partici…

The article about the Sun was quite fun; even though they didn't know about fusion, the article dismisses most theories about how it could generate such a large amount of energy (l…

Your project was very much something I looked into when designing this! Fun to see you commenting. But yes, different goals. I did look into using z3, but quickly found out that it…

Having it only use operations that use a specific set of zero-page addresses is already supported, yep! 20-30 ops is probably impossible, unfortunately. The combinatorial explosion…

Sure. Note that I picked those examples to demonstrate the two fairly quirky classes of things the optimizer tends to find. If the programmer has different requirements they can sp…

Thank you! Demo coding is indeed the primary usecase for this, and the reason for why I started tinkering on it in the first place. That, and people who make homebrewed NES / C64 v…

I skimmed the pdf; they show a model where having such an early "filter" is beneficial to the scammer, but doesn't provide any actual evidence that it applies in reality beyond res…

> authors don't want to invest time in people that are able to spot such mistakes This "just-so" story gets repeated constantly in threads about scams, but I've never seen anyone p…

I'm a moderator for a decently large programming subreddit, and I'd estimate about half the project submissions now being obvious slop. You get a very good nose for sniffing that s…

I'm more unhappy than happy, as there are plenty of points about the very real bad side of AI that are hurt by such delusional and/or disingenuous arguments. That is, the topic is …

Growing almonds uses 1.3 trillion gallons of water annually in California alone. This is more than 4 times more than all data centers in the US combined, counting both cooling and …

I agree for sure, but that's a problem with the spec, not the website. If there are multiple ways of doing something you might as well do the minimal one. The parser will have alwa…

Note that and auto-close and don't need to be terminated. Also, wrapping the tags in an actual is optional. You also don't need the quotes as long the attribute doesn't have spaces…

If you're at that point, the logical step would be to just support replying to the HTTP request with a "content-type: application/wasm" and skip the initial html step entirely.

The 4-paragraph business case was useful for creating friction, which meant that if you couldn't be bothered to write 4 paragraphs you very likely didn't need the computer upgrade …

For X11, from the top of my head: The global variable that toggles a bunch of legacy cruft is called "party_like_its_1989": https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/blob/maste…

Wordpress is indeed a nice backdoor, it even has CMS functionality built in.

Do you have any examples of sites that do that?

Perhaps ideally we'd change English to count the "first" entry in a sequence as the "zeroth" item, but the path dependency and the effort required to do that is rather large to say…

Sure, but the structure seems quite ChatGPTish as well, with e.g. the bullet points and section choice. You wouldn't get that by just faithfully translating a french source text fr…

This article has a strong ChatGPT smell. Things like "in the world of", "let's dive into", the bullet points, "conclusion" section, etc. Anyone else have the same feeling?
