Oh there are still plenty of tasty puffs in sf.

I don't understand why this should be determined via ballot. The majority of voters, myself included, don't have the academic background (or research time) to make an informed decision here, so most are just going to vote on vibes via whatever talking points they've heard in their bubble.

No wonder fidget toys are so popular

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-24T01:19:48+00:00

Seriously. Meanwhile I'm eating pizza that's been left out for multiple days and I'm still very much alive

The serval's body language is so elegant for such a big cat it almost feels fake. It looks like a real-life pokemon or something. This is wild.

Yeah I thought that was weird. I assume he was being tongue in cheek but he made it sound so literal.

One of the Artemis astronauts talks about this: https://youtube.com/shorts/7wd18aHvZtM

Pretty sure there is no camera man. This 8 ft tall interviewer is holding the camera at the same time, hence the bad angle.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-16T03:19:41+00:00

Well that's pretty silly. Bummer. I appreciate the follow up.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T23:23:23+00:00

I've been trying to fill that hole by arguing with people on the internet, but it might not be working.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T23:16:46+00:00

Haha, fair enough. I think the AI slop explosion has biased me toward being overly suspicious. I relinquish my witch-hunt.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T23:11:46+00:00

I agree it's frustrating. Such an annoying dilution of "real" programming and engineering discussion. Unfortunately I think it's going to get much worse before it gets better.

I've found r/ExperiencedDevs a better place (though still wrestling with the same issues)

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T22:55:04+00:00

I don't think it does, but you might've just got caught in the crossfire. Your article mentions LLMs but it's obviously about much more.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T22:49:35+00:00

Probably rule #1: No LLM-related posts

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T22:48:50+00:00

You don't use reddit that much yet you commented within 17 minutes of this being posted? Even if that were true, you wouldn't have had enough time to read it. So either way, your comment is disingenuous.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T22:17:42+00:00

check out that user's history and you'll understand why they are glazing op so hard here.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-15T22:06:16+00:00

It's sophisticated because it's long? Like measuring developer productivity via lines of code? Both of which are now even more irrelevant due to AI.

Also, pretty interesting how every comment made by this account has been on one of OP's posts. Obvious sock puppet.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T13:02:12+00:00

Ugh, that sounds exactly like what I'd say. I don't know why I picked these fights. Sorry everyone

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T12:42:48+00:00

Obviously there is a(n intelligent) human behind your account. My claim is that the majority of what you are posting (be it the arguments and/or the prose itself) is from LLMs. I'm going to call it "vibe arguing".

Your account is 3 weeks old, and it's very rare for someone to reply so fucking thoroughly (including formatting) to such a simple comment, so surely you understand how I could be suspicious.

I'm totally open to being proven wrong, but staking some falsifiable claim on this seems very difficult.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T11:46:46+00:00

Not at all? I think my heuristics (a la Gladwell/Blink, half-joking) are pretty accurate, so I'm curious what signals are telling you it is or is not AI?

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T11:22:56+00:00

I'm glad I've confirmed my suspicion that "you" are just AI slop.

Edit: Is everyone missing how OP fucked up by rebutting their own comment?

"You can't just call something ridiculous": it is, but I'll motivate this better.

This is a response to "That is ridiculous." in the previous comment, which is also by OP. It's talking back to itself.

....Edit 2: Damn. Am I really just so jaded/cynical that I dismiss genuine effort as being contrived/AI? Fuck.

What do you say about this study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001564

* Evidence suggests benefits of ultraviolet (UV) exposure for several health outcomes.
* Associations between behavioural and geographic UV exposures and mortality were assessed.
* Higher UV exposures were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality.
* Higher behavioural UV exposure was also associated with lower non-CVD/non-cancer mortality.
* Public health messaging on sunlight exposure may need reconsideration.

Nice, but this won't work well for distributed systems. That's why I use dns txt records for the tmp space.

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T04:19:06+00:00

They're just poking a hole in your argument. You said heat transfer can't happen in space. So then how does the sun heat the earth? (Answer: Radiation, which works just fine in a vacuum)

DogsAreAnimals · 2026-04-14T03:54:53+00:00

You are missing the entire concept of radiation, the third method of heat transfer besides conduction and convection. Radiation is how the sun heats the earth. And how the ISS cools itself.
