    Yes, that's the point where I was like "wait a second" and started counting em dashes. A third alternative, perhaps the LLMs were trained hard on his prior work? :-)

    I wish they would just explain it in normal terms instead of this nasty LLM "engaging blog post" style

    I thought the author might just be heavily influenced by the LLM style, but when there are also complete non sequiteurs like > Low frequencies take very few bits to encode, and you…

    The diff of the linked commit in git is completely trivial, clearly it just got tagged because of the signoff in the commit message: https://github.com/git/git/commit/d7971544fe173…

    Several and a few are the same number, they only differ rhetorically.

    Presumably there is an antialiasing low pass filter somewhere before JS gets to the data. I have a similar sample rate and it certainly didn't work at all for me.

    What do you mean by cycles? A ripple-carry adder needs to wait for the carry bits to ripple through yes, but there's no clock cycle involved.

    The JSON types are string, number, boolean, null, object and array. So how could the suggested code possibly work? Do you want JSON.parse to do arbitrary code execution like Python…

    Having a type safe generic ring buffer and such is nice

    You definitely need discipline to use C++ in embedded. There are exactly 2 features that come to mind, which makes it worth it for me: 1) replacing complex macros or duplicated cod…

    I have no reason to trust that the fork itself is competently maintained when the author did not even bother to write the announcement.

    They explain why in their AI policy. It's an ethical stance. Of course they wouldn't notice if there aren't clear signs of LLM-ness, but that's not the main reason why they forbid …

    It's fine for a project to have moral/ideological leanings, it's only weird if you insist that project teams should be entirely amoral.
