With that lens your career before this device was a few colors and 104 keys?

That's cool. I tried it out and the movement is very floaty, so much so that it's hard to navigate the first room without running headfirst into a wall every time I try to go somewhere. Is it true to the original? Performance is great though.

Considering how difficult it can be to get certain versions of the game running nowadays, it's nice to have another option to explore the world! I tried and tried to get EQ1999 running on different Linux distributions (Fedora, Bazzite, CachyOS) but just couldn't. Only version that worked is the official Steam client.

Yes! It's infuriating. I've tried prohibiting them in my AGENTS.md but it's not 100% effective.

## Plain words, not jargon

Don't use jargon-as-shorthand. Say what you actually mean.

- Don't say "load-bearing assumptions". Say "the assumptions the xyz depends on".

- Don't say "cross-service". Name both services, e.g. "whether the X service can derive duration without calling the Y service". "Cross-X" is confusing because it hides which things are involved.

- Don't deliver verdicts as abstract noun-phrases like "Cross-RCA double-counting is unfounded". Say it plainly: "I checked whether the same root cause gets counted twice across RCA runs, and it doesn't."

## No earth-shattering declarations

Don't hype findings. Skip "a critical finding changes everything", "now I have the full picture", "this changes the game", etc. Just state what you found plainly. Most findings are ordinary; report them that way.

## Don't reflexively hedge a "yes"

When the answer is yes, say yes. Don't soften every positive answer with a caveat: it erodes confidence in the "yes". Only add a caveat when there's a genuine, specific uncertainty worth flagging.

They are indeed everywhere, but it's possible you don't have a need for them. For example, every time you buy something online using Stripe, the seller receives a webhook indicating that a purchase was completed.

I am 95% sure Claude came up with the design. It has all the tell-tale signs like the all-caps bold letter-spaced microcopy (See the orange "Sharpen your AI fundamentals" on the landing page.) Many card-like elements with a colored border on one side only. The italic serif font as subtitle. Etc. That being said I'm not judging. It's competently done.

I also put the content of a workshop into an LLM detector and it said 100% of the text was likely AI generated.

I'd just like the author to disclose how much of the content is entirely LLM-generated.

If you’d actually installed it and realized afterward that you’d been misled, whether by someone who doesn’t understand trademarks or someone acting in bad faith, you’d probably feel differently. Leaving a comment on HN in that situation is a pretty reasonable reaction.
