Because serious science is hard and valuable for its rigour, and shouldn't be compared with just poking at data to see what happens

What a tantalising mystery there is here waiting to be solved!

Confabulation
adammarples··on Performance per dollar is getting faster and cheaper
Slight criticism of the headline there, you can't get cheaper per dollar.
adammarples··on AI coding is addictive. Engineers are paying the price
We have no ability to sense speed, only acceleration.
adammarples··on Millions told to check their sunscreen experts reveal products may not be safe
The Daily Mail is a national joke
adammarples··on AI coding is a nightmare. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Can you get, for example in python, a tool that parses the ast and builds a very concise graph of function calls into a map, with file names, so that AI can do tool calls on this before updating any code? Instead of the grepping which is what we have.
adammarples··on EU countries want oil exploration to be classed as a green investment
Well oil is "green". Burning oil releases carbon dioxide which is plant food and contributes to global greening. This isn't good, because it also contributes to global warming, but I don't really understand why people conflate "green" with renewables. The greenest the planet has ever been was during the carboniferous period, where plants had feasted on unusually high levels of atmospheric co2.
adammarples··on The Doorman's Fallacy in action
This seems like it has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with the confusion that has always arisen when 6 people try and split a bill, it has always been like that. As for "secretly" trying to pay for an apple crumble, I have no idea how technology is supposed to help there. The way QR code scans usually work is you scan, order, and pay individually.

It makes it much worse, the LLM smell is all over it

They think it's Spacex
adammarples··on Thomann takes legal action against Fender
There's an article related to the headline linked at the top which explains it.

"The upper horn ensures perfect balance, the cutaways make it easier to play in the upper registers, and the contours of the body increase playing comfort. The shape of the Stratocaster was created to provide musicians with the most functional and ergonomic tool possible.

This is exactly why it has been taken up, developed further and reinterpreted by luthiers all over the world over decades."

What I learned is that you "spent a few really hard, deeply interesting weeks trying to give words to this", and yet you still, still, still could not bring yourself to write those words down yourself without asking an LLM for help.
adammarples··on Mark Zuckerberg directed Meta to create a prediction markets app
The glasses, sadly, and unlike everything else, are incredibly popular and selling faster than they can make them

Did you guys get an LLM to write this?
adammarples··on "Be Yourself" Only Works for People Who Aren't Annoying
Pretty straightforward idiomatic English, no? It means disinclined to compromise, yielding poor results.
adammarples··on A Founder Rebuilt Consistency and Completed 90% of His Weekly Goals
Finally an article written like a LinkedIn post

Good to know I won't be reading it then, thanks for the heads up
adammarples··on Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring
There are many other potential explanatory factors than your simple binary. Black people in America started in a very bad and difficult position, only a few generations ago, with huge racial discrimination, no money, and generational distrust of institutions. That is a factor that will affect what you see today without any current system of racial discrimination or inferiority.

adammarples··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
The main one would be just picking up and moving command points
adammarples··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
There are so many qol things in bar that I would love to see in faf. Area mex build, for example. Sticky unit grouping, draw unit formation is essential. Reclaim/repair area. Unit and command queue jumping. That said there are a few faf ones I would like to see in bar too.
adammarples··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
It's not as bad. I came from faf to bar and was an ok setons player but my first setons/supreme match on bar I was literally being flamed out of the gate for not being totally optimal from the jump. On faf it seems you will get flamed if you don't know the broad strokes but people will cover for you especially if you're lower rated.

Understanding a bit about BAR but not really understanding those multilayer games, I found it a helpful counterpoint to the assertion that front is basically t1 spam then die. The idea that you should budget and save for your t2 con because your opponent also has to is useful, and the idea that greater strategies also open up after micro becomes second nature actually makes me want to play these multilayer lobbies more, whereas the initial post seemed quite negative and just intending to moan.
adammarples··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
Me and my friends just play against the AI. We'd last 2 seconds against real players but we're slow and old RTS gamers and just have a good time stacking up a few AI opponents and smashing them.
