It's certainly AI. There are a ton of phrases that Claude loves to use: genuinely, trap, staccato phrases. continuous reframing, the list goes on.

I find it very tiresome and repetitive and simply too grating to read at this point, after already working with Claude all day.

"genuinely load-bearing" is the one that triggers me the most now.

This has been my experience as well. It's incredibly grating to repeatedly read "genuinely load-bearing", "honestly?", etc. I've tried to get Opus to stop using these phrases via an entry in its memory, with mediocre results.

The digit recognizer that fits in one page was super insightful! Really cool concept.

Comments critical of the US government do not typically get deleted from social media platforms based out of the US.

I think the disconnect here is that Google engineers are much more likely to answer the low volume of technical "nerd-snipey" questions from other developers than the high volume of non-technical questions they'd get from the general public for something like Gmail.

It's effective marketing for the "developer tool" app, since the content of this kind of blog post is technical.

I had to google "cosplay market size" to confirm, but the paper's assertion that it's a billion-dollar industry does appear to be correct (!)

Two of the paper's authors work at the technology arm of Zozotown, one of Japan's largest fashion e-commerce sites, which points to how this could have practical benefits.

I feel that complex workflows are best served by dedicated integrations, but it takes time for developers to build each integration natively into a product. We launched https://kloudless.com to simplify the process for app developers to natively integrate an entire category of SaaS services at once (I'm a co-founder).

Ignoring platforms like Salesforce, some of the "product" apps that we see adopting native integrations instead of directing users to Zapier include apps that require:

1) synchronous interactive integrations and not just background automation. e.g. a user pulling a lead from Salesforce into a marketing app.

2) complex/multi-step integrations that offer way better UX and much lower support costs to just build natively for users.

3) integrations as a competitive differentiator, or without requiring users to pay for third-party tools.

4) integrations without an API of their own to integrate to.

That said, there are always a long tail of apps and use cases so I'm certain we'll see more specialized tooling pop up to handle specific complex workflows.

The critical component, MS Teams, is missing in G Suite. Google Chat feels more like posting on an internal message board, since it centers around creating threads rather than actual chatrooms. I can see why companies using G Suite, including ours, prefer Slack's UX or MS Teams' central approach to collaborate in Office 365.

The author has helpfully open-sourced the scripts as well, some of which are quite helpful like this one to convert dates to unix time and back: https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/homedir/blob/master/bin/%2...

Agree with the commit message; I've probably spent way too much time the past decade firing up a python prompt or using an online epoch converter to do this.

Cool!

I was curious and looked this up on Wikipedia [0]:

> It has been hypothesized that the 555 got its name from the three 5 kΩ resistors used within, but Hans Camenzind has stated that the number was arbitrary. [1]

Unsure what you mean. A subset of columns can be selected in any order, across tables. Were you referring to the select order used by "*"?
