On my knees begging that the developers of AI detectors use them on their own writing and that at least pretended to mask the obvious LLM cliches in their blog posts.

You're right, understanding things is so 2025.

The market has been creeping into more and more facets of our lives, with delirious results: social networks are the market mediating family and friendship, dating apps are the mar…

A summary of HN comments, posted on HN to generate even more comments. Very meta.

> These people didn't get promoted or hired because of nepotism. A lot of them moved up the engineering ladder and are familiar with how software engineering works and the incentiv…

I'm sorry if I have offended you. You probably have a great deal of understanding and knowledge about Git, and this book might be a good resource. I'm not asking you to do anything…

> The book is definitely LLM assisted authoring yet it also has great content, so not sure we can immediately jump to shaming it entirely for being slop. Personally I have an extre…

The author works at OpenAI, so it's no surprise that they've stopped noticing how grating this kind of structure is to read.

I would suggest reading into the history of South Korea after the war. Nothing suggests to me that it was a good outcome. As a small sample: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju_U…

> Fascism rose in Spain, and Italy, and was defeated. Someone forgot about the 40-year long fascist dictatorship Spain was under

996 can only be celebrated in a deeply rotted culture without worker rights and labor protections. Embarrasing.

This article is akin to pondering if people should cook their own meth because the dealer they used to have is now selling adulterated stuff that's less powerful.

This is literally an ad.

You don't need ordering guarantees for diffs: apply them out of order and the final result should be the same (that's one of the key properties of CRDTs).

> Other big constraints are: marriage, religion, and choosing to go the VC vs. bootstrapped route in a SaaS business. This gave me a chuckle. On of these is definitely _not_ like t…
