It does not even have to be slop, the compulsion to call out AI-involvement in writing is out of control, esp. on HN. Em-dashes as the signal is the most-upsetting for me. I have b…

The compulsion of pointing it out has becomes very annoying IMHO. Slop is slop -- if it is AI generated slop then fine, call it out. If it is not slop what is the point of this com…

It is a metaphor. Getting pedantic about the simple math laid out in the metaphor seems like you have lost the plot.

It seems as if you did not really read the article. The piece is titled "Religion of Speed" -- in other words speed (or apparent speed) as the guiding principle over anything else.…

A very interesting twist on an old favorite. Nicely done.

I really like the many variations from the original that you have added (the physics like spin and anti-gravity). These surprises made it far-more-interesting to play than I expect…

This is an AI app from the 1950s! Developed by Rube Goldberg who fully intended to vibe code the scoring part later.

For anything below a Trillion, you should just take it out petty-cash. My sympathies -- I know I would be overcome with panic in such a situation.
