Technically true, but this concept is foreign to English speakers. English relies heavily on diphthongs and can’t separate the sounds in their head. Simplest example is probably the word “no” which is very much a diphthong.

That’s why they always have such predictable accents in another language.


Only because they promote it. The default experience for a new user on Youtube is to show you content from creators with 5M+ subscribers. It’s a positive feedback loop.

I find all of it lame and cringe, so I downvote all of that. However stuff still sneaks by…


Two way props make for a nice demo, but are a nightmare to maintain.

No, Windows was broken before AI


My second pair of AirPods is not even 2 years old yet and I don’t think it will last much longer. The first one died quickly too. My next headphones will be wired


Did you read the article? It’s not a crazy ask. They want multi-user Claude sessions. But what stops the humans from talking to each other? Boom! You suddenly have Slack.


But group chat is chat. Even the chat interface with Claude is chat. You can also say the same for any sort of commenting system. Posts and comments, tweets and comments, etc.

I’ve built such system many times. They’re basically all the same, especially if you introduce real time updates. Channels and threads are just organization strategies.


Except quotation marks look like regular text. I regularly use quotes in prompts for, ya know, quotes.


The GP isn't suggesting to literally use quotes as the delimiter when prompting LLMs. They're pointing out that we humans already use delimiters in our natural language (quotation marks to delimit quotes). They're suggesting that delimiters of any kind may be helpful in the context of LLM prompting, which to me makes intuitive sense. That Claude is using XML is merely a convention.


Same. Feels like “AI slop” was trained on my personal writing style. The quoted text from the article writes with the same voice as mine.


Same. Everyone wants to feel smart by trying to point out that every piece of writing is AI generated now, but most of us (myself included) are just average writers. All of the LLMs generate phrasing I often use.


Average isn’t median. LLM writes like it has one testicle.


Lol - I’m not even sure what that means.


Okay, it means that since men have two and women have zero, the average person has one testicle. But if you use “average” as a meaningful guideline, you’re going to have trouble because very few people have one testicle; nearly all have two or zero. Here I am making commentary on the quality of AI writing with an analogy to how AI writes like the average person.


They really are forcing me to visit facebook.com in 2026 aren’t they? Guess I’ll stop using FB messenger when I’m on a computer.


Which one lets them hoover up more data? Probably the desktop app.

Which one lets them display more ads? Probably the site.

For my money, I've always felt like they've tried to force me to use their messenger app on my phone. A while back, desktop/web started asking for a PIN to restore messages. It doesn't always prompt, and sometimes messages are there which you'd think shouldn't be, based on the description of E2EE and the role the PIN plays in it. I did not set any PIN, so I of course don't know it. Resetting the PIN deletes my entire message history.


Which one lets them close off security loopholes scam farms use to automate scam messages and accounts? Probably getting rid of web and desktop.


You'd think - but it's fucking Facebook

We know Zuck's view of his users. It's "they trust me, dumb fucks"


Guess I’ll stop using Messenger…
