Exapunks was my first Zach-like and I loved it. It and most other Zachtronics games have a very well-tuned difficulty curve that pushes me out of my comfort zone just the right amo…

In the first graph, if you hover over the DRAM line you'll notice that the most recent data points are for DDR3. One of the data points from 2025 is a 2 GB stick. This paints a mor…

Regarding Brothers, I don't think it's that much more than the average novel of that length. What I think trips foreign readers up the most is the constant use of Russian diminutiv…

I don't think it's people deliberately seeking this stuff out. For whatever reason, the algorithms love recommending AI content, and I'm sure the numbers are juiced to some degree …

Except for the fully autonomous OpenClaws invading social spaces. There's no human in the loop. That's pure, unfettered AI slop, at a scale no human could keep up with.

The YouTube algorithm got unbearable to me even before the mudslide of AI content. I highly recommend using an extension like Unhook and disabling all algorithmic recommendations s…

If anyone else is wondering why no content is visible on the page, it's because it requires JavaScript and a WebGL context.

Great question. Algorithmic recommendations with infinitely scrolling feeds that get fresh, fungible content—i.e. content produced by strangers, not your friends—whenever you visit…

I suspect the productivity hack is to embrace permissive parenting. As far as I can tell, to leverage LLMs most effectively you need to run an agent in YOLO mode in a sandbox. Natu…

> having more colors makes it possible to recognize more complex patterns The implicit cost here is that the simple patterns become harder to recognize when every byte is only subt…

> 'Rogue super intelligence' is the most ridiculous sci-fi nonsense of the AI hype, worse than the pro AI hype. In my view that line of argument is pro-AI hype. It's the Big Tech C…

Well, you can only do that if you have access to the model. We're setting a precedent for the AI labs getting to pick and choose.

Where I live, generally if you're allowed to use a road or a lane, you have equal rights to others using it. On a road, cyclists have equal rights to motorists; on shared lanes, pe…

> To write tabs, you'll need to be able to make an educated guess at what's being played. Knowing the theory certainly makes the process faster because you'll recognize patterns, b…

I think the trope in this comment[0] from another thread is the most obvious tell, perhaps even more than "not x, but y". > It’s the fake drama. Punchy sentences. Contrast. And the…

I'm puzzled by the title of this post. From what I can gather most, if not all, of the performance improvements came from sacking SQLite and Zod. They applied optimizations that cu…

You're right that (some) marketing copy writers have been writing in this style for decades, but suddenly every second tech blogger has assumed the same voice in the past 2 years. …

That's not supposed to be surprising. They're dogfooding CC to develop CC. I assume any and every line in this repo is AI generated.

You quote this: > LLM-generated writing undermines the authenticity of not just one’s writing but of the thinking behind it as well. If the prose is automatically generated, might …

I feel like having to signal that you're a human detracts from the content side of things. Proper spelling and grammar, good style etc. are there to help you convey your ideas more…

One would think that the same thing getting denied over and over would make future votes about it easier to decide.

I like my memories ephemeral and fragile. Reading AI-generated articles about my loved ones in the typical apathetic Wikipedia tone sounds like a deeply unnerving experience to me.…

Yeah, but do they work ? Last time I gave bun a chance their runtime had serious issues with frequent crashes. Faster package installation or spin-up time is meaningless if it come…

I can only speak for my bank (Nordea), but they do offer a separate 2FA device you can order if you "can't use" your smartphone for whatever reason. As a solution it sucks, but tec…
