Yep, I can't remember when was the last time I've visited a SEO optimized site but I still had the bitter taste that I felt when I last visited it:

- searches for "How to do XYZ" and click one of the site

- "what is xyz"

- "why xyz matters"

- "preparations before xyz"

- "what you might encounter when xyz"

Sounds reasonable and in theory should be useful, but the actual useful info are only stuffed in 1-2 lines of multi paragraphs on tons of sections that I don't care about.

That's because AI is still in the honeymoon phase, unless it's a paying service, at some point the summary will start to have context relevant ads.

Also, I felt like in long term that's going to kill off the good faith of all those smaller sites that are actually good, while the bigger ones still produce subpar contents.

Curious, currently how is the use of AI being detected from papers?

From the article I saw that they're using "excess words" as an indicator, is that a reliable method?

Also, is it possible that it's just autocorrect that added "excess words" when fixing grammar? If that's the case, should that be considered as "use of AI"?

On Arch if I'm not mistaken, you can export your archinstall configuration to be used at other machines although it's not fully "declarative" but I believe it sort of works for certain use cases

The whole point of becoming a monk is to try to have control over their desires, exercise mental discipline like how Buddha does.

If one is already able to achieve all of that they won't even need to become a monk, because they've already achieved what they wanted to.

Yes, it's truth as in "consensus" but not the absolute truth, and I don't think we are going to reach the absolute truth anytime soon.

You're assuming that everyone will agree on the truth just because it's the "truth", but why do you think we no longer believe that earth is the center of world?

There will always people who questions the truth and did research and study about it, discovers new observations of the subject and replace the existing if it convinced the majority.

It's question that lead us closer to the truth (occasionally it does the opposite). That's why we made new discoveries, and that's why you are here questioning about the truthfulness of truth.

From my totally biased understanding, truth is what groups of people agreed on, people believe what they believed in. Even though people agreed on the same thing, each of them would have different interpretation of the truth that they believe it, with certain levels of overlap.

On "Vibe Coding" 1 year ago

Imo there is nothing wrong with generating code with AI, it's the effort spent on supervising the quality of product that matters.

But that requires you to have certain levels of knowledge on that domain to begin with, which is not something you can just "vibe" your way out, at least for now.

Don't get me wrong, what I meant is that I only uses windows on games that runs poorly for me, I use Linux as my daily driver.

Regarding fps, it's around 15fps diff, and it's bad in my case because I had a potato machine.

Curious, if you don't mind answering, do you mainly uses Ubuntu or Nixos, and which one do you liked more ATM?

Regarding Steam, do you install it with distro provided or through Flatpak?

What is the spec of your machine that you do Linux gaming on? I've noticed a notable performance penalty (around 10%, even higher on GPU heavy games) when running games with Proton, which is mainly why I haven't dropped Windows yet.

I remember back then my laptop broke during the beginning of COVID, and I was left with a smartphone that is incapable of doing Termux stuff.

To cope with that I have ended up making some toys like Discord bot that evaluates code, requested access from Insomnia 24/7 to SSH into Linux environment for programming purposes.

It was fun experience and I've ended up learning a lot of programming stuff before I've even started my study in university for computer science.

I remember researching about early era of internet while trying to make a game for a game jam about online shopping, and damn, it sure is a deep rabbit hole.

They do provide ability for users to export the project as Godot 4 if needed.

and once the "accurate" AI accidentally wrote bugs, it will seem even more foolish for humans to debug the binaries built by AI.

From an end user perspective, the whole "proof that you are human" thing is nothing but hassle.

Back then the "select all boxes with traffic light or something" is already ambiguous enough, now they even started to generate AI images for that and to be honest, I can't even get it right like 40% of the time...

... And the actual bots are able to do that better than me. What an absurd time to live in.

But really, if like more than 50% of children has ADHD, maybe it's not really a "defect" but rather a "trait" of some human.

Unless you're implying that half of the humanity that has ADHD are defective humans.

Just a thought
