    Emdashes as the sole signal is just wrongheaded. Read a piece (a least a little bit of it) to determine if it is slop before calling it AI-slop. Slop is slop but you have to digest…

    Consider yourself lucky. This happens very frequently these days.

    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…

    There is not a single reply where you understood the position you were arguing with.

    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…

    Point of clarity: my remark was not in reference to the original post and project (which I love!). It was in reference to this comment (which I should have pasted): > Yeah this $10…

    IMHO lossy/lossless feels like the wrong term to use for natural-language text. Every time natural-language passes from one human to another whether verbally or in the written word…

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

    I loved this piece. The value is in the abstract concepts NOT in specific cases people are posting. It is about the deliberate management over one's own internal state which is the…

    This piece is a little odd for me. I don't understand the logic behind this: "read Kant and found it to be dense and impenetrable...an AI generated summary would have helped" follo…

    The price + graphics and sound (out-of-the-box) was what really made the difference for me and self-learning. But I learned a lot more about disk data organization (hardware-level)…

    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.
