I can't decide whether this person writes in the type of style that was apparently overrepresented in LLM training, or whether they heavily used AI to spruce up their writing. I'm learning towards the latter.

I get it's in vogue to take stabs at whether or not AI was used. But I think the more useful approach is to instead be critical of the end product, if you have criticisms of it.

This IS a criticism of the end product.

No word that PostgreSQL 19 introduces native application-time temporal data support based on the SQL:2011 standard? https://www.depesz.com/2026/04/02/waiting-for-postgresql-19-...

Nor more than a mention of Query Hints, which had some interesting discussion under a similarly-titled submission.

This actually gave me an amusing idea: a book review club that strictly reviews the cover art, book binding, hand feel, paper weight, font, etc. of the book.

Pangram says the text is entirely AI generated but I don't know how trustworthy Pangram is. (I would love to hear what others think about it.)
