It's like Asbestos!

or simply on f-droid!

I feel like I'm starting to have an allergic reaction to the AI writing style. I can no longer unsee it, albeit I can't exactly pinpoint what about the text triggers this guttal reaction.

Because it's a machine pretending to have experiences. It uses abstract phrasing by default in a way that people don't. So the output feels uncanny. Starting to see this all over reddit comments too. I don't know what the point of not writing your own comments is, other than spam.

>I don't know what the point of not writing your own comments is, other than spam.

I think it will reach to the point of "dogfooding".

Those who's not crafting their own comments will be treated as those who's not using their written software.

We are really reaching a point where the internet is becoming so unbearable. People that don't write their comments often want to farm engagment or just wanna sound smart. Either way, the thirst is disgusting to me.

I hear you, its the same for me tbh, BUT I strongly stand behind the content written. Writing skills are degrading.

At this point someone's low quality writing is more compelling than all these people who can't be bothered to express themselves. Like I could write this blog post in 10 seconds:

I realized recently that AI agents are so good that we don't need to read code anymore. I told my team to uninstall all their IDEs as an experiment. A few weeks later they agreed with me. Lanes is a tool that enables this new coding paradigm. I'd love it if you checked it out.

Easy.

How does the disclaimer fit into this?

I think what you're allergic to is marketing hyperbole-speak. That's kind of the default mode many of the models write in. I have my guesses for why that is, but I also have a belief that it's part of their training. Unless you explicitly ask for some other style, it's what you get.

I've become conditioned to go catatonic when I see a sentence structured like "It's not X (that is Y), it's Z"

It's all kinds of patterns. What stood out in this one is that almost all subheadings start with "The".

I notice that I'm even changing my writing style the moment I feel like I'm writing how an AI might write. Doesn't feel good either.

> I feel like I'm starting to have an allergic reaction to the AI

It's absolutely disgusting and I feel almost offended that I am supposed to spend time reading something that the author clearly hasn't even spent time writing.

I am okay with using AI or software to proofread and improve a piece of writing but this one is clearly fully written by AI, as is evident with the short sentences and the awkward writing style -- no human actually writes or talks like that.

2 Criticisms:

- On mobile, it's quite hard to hit the X to close an element description. With my specific screen size, I always end up opening Darmstadtium.

- The Element quiz hints consistently give away the answer in the penultimate or final clue.

Other than that, fun project! Thanks for sharing

Made the moible X 36px now, so easier to close. And removed uses and fun fact clues that gave away answers, replaced with density, melting point, electronegativity, and group number

I guess they're very much related, given that they're both tools to flash images to an esp32. But from checking the repo, this seems to be an effort by the tinygo people to extend the embedded go ecosystem.

For me, the cow was just below the bottom of the screen, which caused me to first wonder what the heck and then get great comic relief after scrolling down!

gentle reminder to set your website's `<title>` to something descriptive :)

haha, thank you. Added now :-)

I can't believe this things even have microphones in them! That's a crazy amount of tech just to end up as e-waste.

Probably because the cost of adding it is low. If you already have an I2S capable MCU then adding a microphone is fairly low hanging fruit.

Isn't it the other way round? We did and still do chroma subsampling _because_ we don't see that much of a difference?

I've been learning Go for about 4-6 months. So far I've been really enjoying the language. I'll suggest to you to work through the go tour in the beginning, then gobyexample is a great reference resource. I've also heard good things about the book "100 Go mistakes" which is for advanced users. Obviously, Go has its own quirks but if you can enjoy them and make the language work for you, it's really fun!

Thanks for the suggestions!

I remembered a course called "Learn Go through testing" that looks intriguing and also for beginners.
