#114A couple years back John Reilly posted on HN "How I ruined my SEO" and I helped him fix it for free. He wrote about the whole thing here: https://johnnyreilly.com/how-we-fixed-my-seo Happy to do the same for you if you want. The quickest win in your case: map all the backlinks the .net site got (happy to pull this for you), then email every publication that linked to it. "Hey, you covered NanoClaw but linked to a fak…

Food stamps?? This is a ghoulish position, morally, financially, and as a matter of policy. We live in the richest country on planet earth and we eliminated child hunger here during COVID only to roll it back . It's not even 1.5% of the budget currently. Compare this to our military adventurism budget. Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity , right now. Children need food to grow up and be 'pr…

Your GitHub is up there because it’s a blessed website, your personal site isn’t and will struggle mightily to rank even when you search exact, unusual phrases on it, if it’s like most of the rest of the Web on Google these days. Get more traffic (make sure…
I would suggest just using Github Pages for the "official" site, for similar reasons... unless you really need interactive parts that require client-server... in which case you can maybe split between pages and your own domain. Just a thought.

#119I'll be honest, I'd take this more seriously if this post didn't read like ChatGPT output. If you won't spend the effort to use your own words why should I stir myself to care? Sorry, I'll put it in hand-crafted ChatGPTese: ## The Slop Problem Every post sounds the same. No intelligence. No individuality. Just pure, clean LLM slop.

Is it more likely to be clear and reliable if it is AI-written, or are features associated (both directly and by correlation) with clear writing increasingly misperceived as “AI tells” because they are also favored in LLM training?
