People do write like that. Claude learned it from somewhere, after all. I read an X post yesterday where someone was complaining about "genuinely" as being an AI tell.

I think the broader phenomenon with the AI tells is it is revealing about a person's consumption. If they already interacted with and read material that resembled AI output, it wouldn't seem as weird. But if you encounter a particular pattern with the AI before you encounter the human patterns that trained it that way, it seems like an AI quirk.

Perhaps we can blame exposure to actual pathogens which resemble the pollen in some way, triggering a misdirected immune system response.

> What do release trains have to do with SAFe?

An Agile Release Train (ART) in SAFe is a long-lived, cross-functional "team of teams" (typically 50–150 people) that plans, commits, and delivers value together on a synchronized, fixed-schedule cadence.

"release train" ... "learn how to ship software faster"

SAFe is poison.

Sort by controversial. https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/

Just need to find the right scissor statement to really get the debate going.

One person wants a list of their political enemies banned from software conferences, one of them doesn't want them banned. Which one is tolerant? The only intolerance and exclusion I see is from those requesting that specific people with whom they have political disagreement be banned.

Can we fix the title to be "scams and banned items"?

It seems like the banned items bit is misleadingly left out, and this title falsely implies it is 10% from scams alone.

I am really tired of the lazy argument style of using "corporate" as a synonym for "bad". I too think it's bad to encourage addictive gamblers. I don't care if it is corporate, individual, or state run.

It seems like things have ended up in a better place than they started.

For me, the push to single page applications and the unnecessary complexity that brought with it made me just sick of fooling around with web things- we had solved the problem and they invented nonsense that made it harder. There has been so much to explore over the past 7 years in machine learning though- it just requires a lot more compute than most people have available on their desktop.

"the postmodernists attacking physics"

The Sokal affair was a physicist attacking the postmodernists for attacking physics (and scientific realism) by showing the postmodernists would publish complete nonsense.

The current attack is saying the physics establishment is backing a theory that doesn't adequately make predictions (not adequately supporting scientific realism).

It can be viewed outside the realm of power, that's a very postmodern view.

I think it depends a little on what your intended head is? Headless CMS is just CRUD UI for a database that has an API.

This is where John Gall's Systemantics comes into play, “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system."

Obviously a bit hyperbolic, but matches my experience.

> Anytime data is recorded legal is immediately asking about retention so they don't end up empty handed in front of a judge.

In my experience, they are setting automated 90 deletion policies on email so they don't end up with surprises in discovery.

You are going to end up paying for a license to cover security updates. I use Fortinet, not cheap.

I think a lot of people worry about these pay scales being limiting. In the US, they tend to end up being based on years of service or credentials, rather than about productivity or quality.

This seems like a simpler route. Why not just a camera pointed at a test mark on the windshield that checks if it is visible through the glass?
