Draw what you consider “downtown” and see how it compares to everyone else's.

Love to hate on microslop but this bug seems pretty benign, saying that this update "broke stability" is not true.

Any work worth consuming must be a labor of love. Current copyright prohibits people who love newer works from building off of them. I certainly would still advocate for strong ant…

Copyright stifles creative output. I believe that if we got rid of copyright (not just for textbooks), the quality and quantity of published work will increase.

Thank you Reddit vexillology !

I don't think I've met anyone who uses the word "genuinely" as much as Claude does.

Thank you, these are all things I've noticed too.

Sure, I see your point. I too read and value technical manuals, but I think them worth reading because the underlying scientific truth or technology matters and the builders/mainta…

I mean "either" as "both". Yes, reading a blog is communication. And you don't need to convince me that plenty of people go about life steeped in nonsense and that listening to wha…

Maybe it falls under the "Various hobby/alternative OSes up to some very recent ones" category. I'm not going to download a one hundred gigabyte file to find out though...

Is TempleOS in here?

Yes, for communication to hold any meaning there must be persons at either end of it working towards a common understanding of truth. Read through Borges' Library of Babylon, it's …

Absolutely spot on. Or maybe should I say, "You're absolutely right!"...

He saw that pure focus on Fact is empty without a framework of meaning behind it. He does not mean falsehood when he says degeneration! But purpose must transcend and direct the tr…

Extremely rude reply. I don't want HN to be an AI article aggregator. And you sure don't seem to want to discuss anything important anyways.

Always happy to discuss existentialism, but I'm not going to read through an AI generated article. The other comment I wrote today was me recommending Borges to people!

By itself it's not a tell but combined with all else it's hard to pass by. Author's other article from 2025 has less than half the dashes and it's the same length

Article is full of AI tells. "The two men shared surface-level similarities.", "Not X but Y", and em-dashes everywhere. I wish that people would write articles themselves, with the…

Obligatory Borges mention for magical realism. Read his Garden of Forking Paths and Lottery in Babylon. Short stories which leave you with much to think about

We need a lot more tools like these to clone the data associated with personal users on these big services' servers...

This was clearly written with AI help, the tells are all over the place
