#33Maybe it's just because I'm LLMing a bit too much, recently, but this question sounds to me like a prompt.
I'm not beating up on OP but I chuckled when I read the question. Literally the only place I see the phrase "no fluff" with any frequency is with Deepseek lol.
Nothing wrong with the phrase itself of course, other than the fact that it's like literally in every other reply for me lol.

#37Ask the LLM you wrote this post with!
OP is asking a good question. There's no dishonor if he is not fluent in English, and used an LLM to translate.

The artifacts are usually beautiful from good Workmanship Standards, Design For Manufacturability, and systematic Metrology. Dragging us all into the future one project at a time.
Note that training an ML model with such data would be pointless, as statistical saliency forms a paradox with consumer product design compromises. Note, there are _always_ tradeoffs in every problem domain.

Have a nice day, and note >52% of the web is LLM slop now. YMMV =3

I am quite surprised and a bit disappointed that almost none of them have RSS. But thank you!
> I am quite surprised and a bit disappointed that almost none of them have RSS. I think it's on purpose. It is to signal that these (those without RSS) aren't really "engineering" blogs at all, they're marketing websites aimed to help with recruiting and making the organization seem "engineering-like".
What? That makes no sense. RSS is beloved and known among engineers. Marketers? Not so much.

Exactly, so if the blog doesn't have RSS, you know they're probably made from marketers with no input from engineering, otherwise they'd have RSS on the blogs.
Edit: Ah, noticed I made a without/with typo, fixed that, should make about 2% more sense now for the ones who the original meaning was unclear :)
