Thumbs up for both of them, but I must say that DeltaHedra has become my new favourite FreeCAD content creator. Especially after he started using his own voice. His old content was good, but his current his magnifique! The quality of the content he pushes is above and beyond.

Next FIFA peace price for you!

Do not fix this perfect Freudian slip!


He's referring to the word "price".

That explains a lot

Incredibly this actually happened and isn’t a slip

It's not

The Apple gold and glass plaque of kowtowing and subservience was first.

I don't think this is off-topic for HN at all. They point fingers at what's a clear issue in the tech industry with the endless subscriptions model.

You'll own nothing, and you'll be happier for it.


LinkedIn is a masquerade ball dressed up as a business oriented forum. Nobody is showing their true selves, everyone is either grinding at their latest unicorn potential with their LLM BFF or posting a "thoughtful" story that is 100% totally real about a life changing event that somehow turns into a sales pitch at the end...


LinkedIn is a fucking asylum populate by the most unhinged “people” and bots. I don’t know a single serious technical person active on LinkedIn.


There's a whole community devoted to pointing out LinkedIn Lunatics!

I short the stock of companies whose leadership is wasting time posting to LinkedIn instead of… y’know… leading their org. The more they post the more I short. Similarly, the less-attached-to-reality the post is the more I short.

I wish I could say I’m making bank off this strategy - but pretty-much all the slopposters (and the most insufferable of the AI boosters) are all working for nonpublic firms, oh well.


Maybe not a winning strategy because a lot of public companies have a comms team that manages the CEO’s LinkedIn. Thereby saving the valuable time of the CEO themselves.


> a comms team

Right; and those PR/comms/social-media-managers know better than to post LLM slop to LinkedIn.



There are people who write genuinely interesting stuff there as well.

I use block option there quite a lot. That cleans up my experience rather well.


Can to share some of them? Genuinely curious.


I don't know if I'm helping make things better or adding to the problem, but here's the sort of thing I share with my audience: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/day-life-hft-developer-two-de...


I guess people one would follow on other platforms, plus bunch others posting in my native language.

Daniel Stenberg Jason Fried David Heinemeier Hansson Nick Chapsas Laurie Kirk Brian Krebs


> Brian Krebs

Even Krebs has switched to posting uncritical AI slop now.

A rewrite of slop post at https://abnormal.ai/blog/starkiller-phishing-kit

In the meanwhile, the exploit.in thread where this phishing kit is advertised is just full of users making fun of the author for selling vibecoded garbage. One user seems to have paid for the phishing kit, and says it just doesn't work at all and says the author blocked him on telegram after he complained.

It's a marketing piece hyping up a phishing kit that doesn't exist. Krebs gave up a long time ago, if he gave a shit he'd be more than capable of going on these forums to try and verify this story before uncritically repeating AI company marketing materials.


> LinkedIn is a masquerade ball dressed up as a business oriented forum. Nobody is showing their true selves

That's the main trait of almost all social media. A parade of falsity, putting on the show for everyone else, being what you wish you were and what everyone else dreams of being or envies.

LinkedIn is about boasting and boosting the professional life, other social media is for the personal life. More or less equally fake.


You apparently did not read the article. "Morged" is a word the LLM that ripped off the article author's diagram hallucinated.


This seems fair, tbh. And I fully agree on the policy for issues/discussions/PRs.

I know there will probably be a whole host of people from non-English-speaking countries who will complain that they are only using AI to translate because English is not their first (or maybe even second) language. To those I will just say: I would much rather read your non-native English, knowing you put thought and care into what you wrote, rather than reading an AIs (poor) interpretation of what you hoped to convey.


Although: "An exception will be made for LLM-assisted translations if you are having trouble accurately conveying your intent in English."


I am quite obviously blind, but I still stand by my sentiment. I would rather have a "bad" but honest PR body than a machine translated one where the author isn't sure about what it says. How will you know if what it says is what you meant?


突然出現一大段外文文字會讓很多人感到反感。即使不能百分之百確定翻譯準確,大多數使用者仍然更傾向於將其翻譯成英語。


As a native english speaker I don't run into this problem, but in the context of a PR do you think having the original native PR documentation alongside the machine translated documentation would have a similar problem?


I think the spirit of the policy also allows you to write your own words in your own language and have an AI translate it.

(But also, for a majority of people old fashioned Google Translate works great).

(Edit: it's actually a explicit carveout)


There is a carve out exception for this in the doc.


That's the neat trick - it isn't...


Sell the asset and then lease it from the buyer.


That works fine with office buildings and stuff where a company is redistributing its risk profile, but not when the company it’s selling to has every incentive to kill the asset as a competitor.


Not really. It's just "unwrap(" instead.


Have you tried Pocket-ID? I use it for my home server with LLDAP as the identity provider.


I switched to AeroSpace from Yabai because I had to disable parts of SIP for certain functions (such as switching workspaces with keybindings from SKHD), and that didn't feel right. Updates are also smoother since I don't need to update the sudoers file allowing the Yabai CLI to run without requiring password. Been happy as a clam ever since.
