It’s the act of comment warring that is pointless. [X/Y] partisans are not intellectually curious about statements coming from a [Y/X] partisan. Nobody’s minds are going to change either way.

There presumably some third parties who could hypothetically be swayed, but from what I’ve seen they’re few and far between.

I'm kinda surprised Amazon didn't send a team to collect all storage devices from the wreckage and ship them elsewhere to be connected to the network for recovery.

I'm surprised you'd think sending civilians into a war zone is a good thing.

War zones tend to have lots of people in already, and many of them really want a job.

As an aside: I lack the vocabulary, but man those interactive "stats" cards scream LLM-written to me. No problem with it, necessarily, just something about that style seems to raise a flag in my mind.

They're definitely Claude generated. People at my last company loved to generate pages & stat cards with Claude and they all had this exact same style.

Oftentimes discussions get killed not because the source article is bad but because the discussions themselves devolve into flame bait/war?

Having reviewed the comments I don’t see any indication of why it would be flagged for the discussion.

They are certainly LLM-generated. I'm sure it's been done, but I would love to see a comprehensive look into what it is exactly that makes a UI seem LLM-generated. From what I can tell, the issues are: Fonts are too small, secondary fonts have terrible contrast with their backgrounds, information is too dense/not enough white space, overuse of blinking/glowing status dots, overuse of bordered elements, and overuse of…

Probably something to do with the training data and how it’s weighted. It’s the same how the writing is essentially full of overused phrases, the AI slop feel.

It's amazing how these people don't seem to get that the very fact it's an occupation makes basically everything Israel does there illegitimate.

If someone enters my house uninvited, I don't care what they have to say to justify themselves because they don't have a right to be there in the first place.

Also, Israel designates tents dual use.

Designating an AWS location very likely used for targeting assistance during this war on Iran is a very different thing.

I'm not sure I would consider it too dense. If anything I think they tend to be too sparse, although this could just be that they're often used for marketing type sites, which seem to want to make you scroll and click a lot for anything anyway, even if you have the screen space.

The status dots are a part of animations in general, which they overuse, especially things like transform/scale on hover and hover effects on many many elements.

I think it's not simply borders but contrasting-color borders often with box shadows.
