As someone from the Netherlands, this is bonkers to me. I just log in to the tax site, review what they've already filled in for me, and submit.

It scraped Reddit, if anything it learned that humans are self-loathing and spiteful.

My point was that LLM written articles tend to long and verbose. Might as well have my LLM condense it into bullet points to consume the information faster.

I can appreciate clever writing by humans because another human did it. Maybe I'd still critique it for being convoluted. But there'd be some kind of interaction with me and another person, even though I might leave with a negative opinion/feeling.

If an LLM tries clever writing, it's just the result of a statistical model using its dataset. There's no joy in reading the extra fluff because I know there's no-one that spent the time on doing it. In fact, I know that the person on the other side didn't want to spent the time doing it. And it leaves me wondering why I should even read all of that in the first place. If we're using AI to be more efficient, why not have it just generate boring, efficient, articles that just give you the information without pretending to present any opinions or jokes.

TL;DR if you want to be efficient, be efficient; don't generate fluff

I mean, there's a difference between nudging a few notes right and just running quantize over the entire recording.

> so getting the point of the composition across is my priority. I'll auto-tune and quantize whatever if the composition comes across better.

Which also means you might even move things out of sync/tune if the composition asked for it, right? The point mentioned here is just the trend of lazy fully gridded mixes where the entire song is the exact bpm all the way through and nothing strays off the grid.

> Quantization is a net improvement. It takes unlistenable performances and makes them listenable.

It also gives musicians a false sense of skill if the producer just gives thumbs up and all they hear back is their own quantized drums. Instead of, you know, practicing and actually nailing the beat.

If all you do is quantize it to the grid, why even bother setting up a drumkit to record. We all know those hits are being sample replaced anyway, might as well just pull up the midi kit.

It does happen where drummers are recorded and it's just quantized to 8th notes in the DAW. Simply due to lack of communication between the musician and the producer, or because of some chase of rhythmic perfection. Especially in a lot of modern metal, where you will barely find a swung beat anymore.

To be fair, football hooligans do look like violent protestors. Except, the only thing they seem to be protesting is their brains.

Agreed, their entire communication relies on taking jabs at "the other guy". Just make a good product.

If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you probably aren't.

If machines are writing articles, why am I reading all their prose. Might as well have my machine summarize them into something more digestible.

Of all the things I've had to deal with with migrating solutions and frameworks. Generating API keys and setting environment variables are the least time consuming of all of them.

Welp, there goes one of the big selling points of one of my old employers.

To be fair, I also do my best work when I get to swear like a sailor.

Open Source disputes.

> Chinas national policy is to destroy everyone’s life using espionage, bribery etc . They frame lack of morality as strength.

And that differs from US foreign policy, how?

I just have a tampermonkey profile for go.dev to fix that for me.

Very rarely. But it can come up if you archive change history in git for things that aren't originally tracked in git.

Take laws for example. Legalize[1] is a project that documents all laws into a git structure where each distinct change is a commit with the proper timestamp of tha change. Sure, this specific project builds that entire git history once and it's unlikely a retroactive change required such edits. But do something like this for historical sources where information is still coming in, and you might need to change a date when new findings occur.

Dutch men must be terrifying to the people that believe this.

There's a fetish joke just hiding here.

South Park also had a great episode about it.

This one kills me. So many forums, and Reddit in particular, now have people just chiming into topics with ChatGPT answers. It gives them the illusion of being helpful, while they don't really have the knowledge of the subject. But people go to communities to converse with others in the field, and this makes it feel dead internet.

I'm glad most of my colleagues are still doing things themselves. But honestly, if all you can do is tell me what Claude told you and you didn't even bother to read it yourself. Then I might as well just cut you off the team and go use Claude directly.

That’s my point, really. Just a large enough surface that it will show any format the way it was intended.

Vouching for people is not a new concept, right? We do it all the time.

Proof of humanity must be dead dropped at a McDonalds within 25 miles of a legit contributor to verify.

Preferably, I'd have a 4:3 OLED TV or laser projector at a decent enough size that it can just comfortably show all kinds of formats.

My desktop is 21:9, my Macbook and Steamdeck are 16:10, my TV and Nintendo Switch are 16:9, and my iPhone is some weird aspect ratio. So it's not like I'm not used to varying formats. And I actually like it when movies take liberties with the screen format instead of forcing everything into 16:9 just because it's the common TV format.

Claude Code just does this for me. But it might be one of their Superpower skills that I added.

As long as the fine is cheaper than the earnings, they'll keep on doing it. And fines are retroactive, at that point they've already broadcasted to and influenced a bunch of people.

Influencers are required to disclose ads in most places.

No idea if it has a name. But the page source is also not giving me anything useful. And it pains me to even look at it.

People seem to be content with content.

The slower models seem fine for home lab usecases such as processing document transcriptions and tagging them, for example. I don’t need that to be live, it can just churn overnight.
