The tap interaction is a bit janky on mobile.

That's impressive. I've only reported one bug to Chromium, years ago. It was a bug in their CSS engine and I included an HTML file with a full repro. It took them a few years to ac…

Hmmm, my anecdotal experience doesn't match up with this article. Personally I am seeing an explosion of AI-created apps. A number of different subreddits I use for disparate inter…

It's not irrational at all! The act of doing something yourself brings inherent pleasure and satisfaction, whether that thing is "growing tomatoes" or "coding a feature". It makes …

>It's weird to see people getting fixated on the DDoS, which is obviously far less nasty than actually attempting to dox someone. I would say the opposite... The DDoS is pretty obv…

I've been seeing variations on your comment a lot on HN lately and I find it a rather vapid way of looking at something so intricate as human communication. Among other things, the…

I mean I assume it's a bot comment. It has that LLM stink to it in writing style even without the "new account" signal.

Unmodified Blu-ray disc images are the BDMV folders I mentioned. Any BDMV will be unmodified almost all the time though I've very occasionally run into modified ones originating fr…

It's implemented in drive firmware, so the drive will refuse to read protected sectors without authentication.

You want to search for BDMV for full disc images, or for remuxes which are uncompressed video and audio streams, if you want to get a sense for the size on disc. Typical Blu-ray im…

It's just an acquihire. On the startup's side, the company has failed and they would be shutting it down regardless; this way they've found jobs for their employees and saved face.…

It appears that the original "research" was also pure AI slop--someone just asking Claude and quickly slapping together whatever it said. It's very low quality and should not be ge…

The touch functionality is useful until it isn't. My Pixel Buds will activate touch controls randomly and unnecessarily all the time when I'm trying to use them in bed, from the co…

I don't spend much time on that subreddit, but I've seen that bot on a couple posts I've read and have been pleasantly surprised by how useful it seemed. I may eat my words on this…

I think the comment you linked doesn't sound like AI at all, though. I do empathize with people worried about getting falsely accused of using AI in their writing, either hypotheti…

I recently installed Fedora with KDE Plasma on a new computer and I can't say I feel the same way. The UI is still clunky (eg the file explorer is clunky) and I'm running into mino…

The other guy's post was also very obviously written at least in part by an LLM. It's slop all the way down. I'm seriously considering taking a break from this site if this is the …

>Every developer I know uses AI for coding now. And for blogging too, it seems.

You're saying that term limits reduce corruption? That's in fact not at all what the research says. There's a decent amount of research that suggests that they actually increase co…

No, Old English is pre-Norman invasion. I think you have (understandably) misunderstood what a "negative concord" means--it's when a double negative is still a negative, ie multipl…

A moral stand? ... What? Did we read the same statement? It opens right out the gate with: >I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States a…

I cycle accounts on here too (probably time to end this one, now that you mention it) but I don't plan on stopping. I refuse to build a long term identity on a platform that refuse…

I'm with you on the AI slop but your complaint on this post just sounds like bootlicking. I would say that anarchist-style direct action against mass surveillance pretty much embod…

This website is under attack from relentless AI slop spam, both in submissions and in comments, and I have absolutely no idea what we can do about it. To me this stuff is an existe…

I said "thinking about"... I have been thinking about many other things I wish I had time for too, like "getting eight hours of sleep" or "responding to a growing pile of emails th…
