In my opinion, yes, more indirectly than directly. LLMs were trained to optimize their response for everybody, and lowest common denominator sentence structure is spaghetti writing. But more concerning, LLMs are subconsciously teaching people how to write. It's becoming harder for people online to pace their writing and build up to a conclusion without resorting to spaghetti writing.

Hey, author here, and cool project! I spent some time comparing Yabai's scripting addition to InstantSpaces' scripting addition. They seem to be doing the exact same thing, but Yabai works while InstantSpaces doesn't, and I eventually gave up trying to figure out why.

Regardless, I still prefer InstantSpaceSwitcher because its implementation is simpler and it doesn't require disabling SIP. If you can get it working, however, I can edit my blog post to say so!

Ya know, how sometimes your computer's internet is slow?

What if... you could motivate it. Make the internet itself flow a lil' quicker.

Since making the internet faster is a hard research problem, keymashed instead worsens the internet and then eases up proportional to how fast you mash the keyboard. It features:

- an overengineered network protocol - a from-scratch video codec based on JPEG - humor

I wanted to stay consistent with the 3-6 digits per number rule to make the challenge easier to figure out in general. There are only two numbers that are actually truncated, so hopefully it isn't that big of a problem.
