Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.

Your site copy is great to the last drop.

It is? It’s just the usual LLM.

Best we can do is flag such articles, but HN seems to upvote them anyway so I seem to be in the minority.

You know I said colons right? Not semi colons :)

Yeah the (annoyingly) excessive use of colons feels like recent Claude models to me.

Looks like author posted this themselves earlier, and even used Claude for the HN comment:

Tone deaf to have an (excessively verbose) LLM-generated readme for a blog product. Apparently writing a readme is too much to ask even for avid bloggers!

Fun (semi-related) fact, ClickHouse was originally developed by Yandex :)

That's too much effort to decipher a HN post.

It would have been less effort than it took you to write this comment. Perhaps next time that you can’t be bothered, just ignore the comment and move on to another thread that meets your required spoonfeeding levels.

Interesting choice of word; I wasn’t whinging, just trying to explain to the other commenter something useful. Flagging gives zero detail or nuance. Which presumably is why you replied instead of flagging my comment ;)

If you allowlist javascript then yes your annoyance is tangential, and no it is not interesting for us to read you complain about. Hence why the HN guideline (that was quoted above) exists.

(I also allowlist javascript. Regardless of your philosophical standpoint, many websites do break. If you don’t want “smacks me in the face multiple times a day” then stop allowlisting javascript.)

Nowadays most of my processing happens on the GPU, so htop/top better evolve or become mostly irrelevant

If you’re a 3D rendering designer, an ML engineer or a crypto bro, then sure.

Here are the common workloads (for the average SWE on HN) that use CPU/RAM:

  - compilation/builds
  - language servers and IDEs
  - test suites
  - local containers
  - local databases
  - node tooling
  - browsers
  - data processing
  - compression and encryption
  - searching/indexing

I had an emotionally abusive partner. But they didn’t force me to become depressed and anxious. They didn’t force me to have to medicate. So yeah it really was just completely my fault.

The name reminds me of Woomba, the hilarious SNL parody of Roomba back when it was initially going mainstream: https://youtu.be/gqesEYUXr78

I remember also hosing the bootloader somehow on my first try of Linux, luckily my personal desktop so no collatoral damage!

After that I always had a CD wallet thing with copies of sysresccd and supergrubdisk and others (including I think an old knoppix cd from a linux magazine).

Happy NextDNS user. Lots of configurability, including which filterlists to enable, configurable logging etc.

Plus it’s reliable and fast from basically anywhere (which is harder to achieve if I ran my own resolvers in the cloud, and anyway I don’t want to have to maintain that).

He says that Bellard is a better overall programmer, and for some reason you take this as evidence of a lack of humility?

Your stance seems to be that interacting with any Russian means supporting genocide, regardless of if they support Putin. Which is so absurd as to be likely ragebait. So yes, it’s a quality issue :)

And if you’re discriminating against all Russians based on their government, even though not all Russians support Putin, then that is unfortunately just racism.

No, interacting with Russian people does not mean supporting genocide. Please raise the quality of your comments here :)

That is unfortunately just plain racism.

(For the record, I despise what Putin is doing.)

Hate to break it to you, but not all Russians support Putin.

But is Yandex government owned? What about Russians abroad that send money back home to their families, and a percentage of that ends up going via taxes to Putin? Are we boycotting all Russians everywhere globally?

Just like the (now flagged) post from 20 minutes before, this is more LLM generated waste of space.

This blog isn’t worth anybody’s time.

The rest of this post is me showing my work.

No, the rest of the post was written by an LLM.

If version 8.0 makes you raise your eyebrows, just wait til you see what version Firefox and Chrome are on!

Try harder, sock puppet account :)

Yeah, just casually murdering journalists is totally normal.

Your username and comment history suggests it might not be wise to take your word as objective truth.

I don’t get it. You’re suggesting that the article is untruthful?

Just because someone has perceived that doing X leads to Y doesn’t mean there’s causation. Easy and common mistake to make though.

Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you of anything. My comment was aimed at other readers; further discussion between us won’t be necessary. Good day! :)

I didn’t refute a link between environmental factors and ear wax production. Nor did I say improving diet isn’t a good thing in general.

But changing your diet won’t help with ear wax. And cotton swabs are a bad idea.

You seem upset; this is just a discussion on an internet forum. It’s ok for people to have different opinions and share them in a thread :)

You’re free to share your anecdata.

But you also shouldn’t be surprised if someone challenges the implications or merits of your anecdata, for the benefit of others that might take it as good advice.
