    How did Wikipedia layout become so bloated?

    Every single page is mostly sidebars, each has to be clicked 'hide' for every pageload(it does not save the state of sidebars!!) to reveal the article squeezed inside. For the "ful…

    Okay, lets imagine it get enforced and every project is scanned for compliance, with some false positives and inability to prevent people from sneaking in AI code.\ Do you agree wi…

    The copyright/Anti-ai angle is likely an excuse and they're running out of money for hosting, hence errors and anti-scraping blocks. Its completely absurd to think they somehow wai…

    IKEA beds are underestimated: these flimsy POS planks and their insertion is entire artform that was likely engineered to cause pain. The idea here is they are huge, finicky and de…

    The neglected part here is latency, speed itself can be masked by progress bars/animations, but having visible lag ruins the idea of speed and users treat it as slow vs animated lo…

    Ok, suppose you have a "trash/low quality" article and "this article has been deleted", the article with some info will win over the audience as they search for it. Like "Worse is …

    Don't know why you get downvoted, but this is how AI-based projects win over time: they don't randomly decide to delete valuable data. Grokipedia might be trash in terms of its qua…

    GCC already solved it: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Vector-Extensions.html The operations behave like C++ valarrays. Addition is defined as the addition of the corresponding …

    Here and on reddit, AI debugging is viewed as some weird shallow pattern-matching that obviously fails to spot real stuff and overload the maintainers. Instead of getting to "spotl…

    What is the 181M$ mysterious "Project Support" in the graph means? Linux is labeled separately, so it cannot be the "Project".

    IFUNC should be implemented by software itself, like switching functions on runtime/compile checks. Why bother having a slower, insecure version that is less flexible than a functi…

    Sure, is there anyone nostalgic for debugging bash files by hand? Any sense of grief for writing C++ template headers, with all boilerplate? Hmm, does anyone like manually re-writi…

    When you make forums you compete with forum aggregators with more history and social clout, i.e. a reddit replacement. If someone made better Reddit, it could have a chance, howeve…

    The code written by AI in most cases is throwaway code to be improved/refined later. Its likely to be large, verbose and bloated. The design of some agents have "simplify/refactor"…

    the article misses log-math and log-log-math which would use 64-bit (d)oubles are exponents in 10^d and 10^(10^d) respectively, which allows far higher range of possible values but…
