As a regular reddit user I can say that they aren't nearly aggressive enough about banning LLM generated spam, tons of smaller subreddits I used to enjoy following are getting choked with very obvious (it even fails pangram) AI spam posts.

Google scholar link since that one didn't work for me: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Chal...

Yikes, didn't realize that the 2009 stand included a few really silly things like that. Yes, the 2026 stand is overall pretty decent and doesn't have much objectionable in it.

I started reading and it immediately sounded like AI, sent it to pangram and it agreed. The amount of posts praising it like it's fuckin oxygen or something ... dead fuckin internet

Those skeptical are anticipating a possible large drop in demand before that backlog clears. ie. a change in market conditions that means that many of the orders in that backlog would be cancelled or belong to bankrupt entities.

Many words have already been spilled as to whether or not that might happen, so I'll just shrug rather than adding to them.

> has now widened from the initial +175bps to a whopping +231bps doing more than two-thirds of the work.

2.31% spread over treasuries is heading for junk bond status?

Yes. Most modern sunscreens are photostable, but even if you aren't going in water or sweating, just moving around (and thus scrunching and un-scrunching your skin on a micro level over and over again) is enough to mess up the sunscreen layer you put on your skin.

No, they're regular LPDDR dice from one of the big manufacturers that are mounted on the same package as the SoC.

I would assume 395MW is the nameplate capacity, so you would multiply it by a capacity factor and time to get the energy production in a specific interval. Capacity factor in hydro can vary a lot by season and how much they want to produce vs reservoir levels, but for a back of the envelope 100% capacity factor you have 395 MW × 8,760 hours/year = 3.46TWh/year . Capacity factor could be in the high 90s in good conditions and maximum production but I expect it's a lot lower unless it's a wet year with very few big maintenance jobs needed.

It didn't stand out to me on first read but pangram gives it a high confidence rating as being written by AI.

IDGI. How is a company that owns a bunch of infrastructure you almost have to use to put your service on the internet not more profitable such that they have to do layoffs?

While it's a rumour site:

The lights up on top will show a walk sign when it's waiting for a pedestrian to cross before proceeding.

Please don't link to LLM generated crap.

It's hard to say whether it's AI generated or just bad writing, but my eyes kept sliding off of it. The bolding for emphasis could be a sign it's LLM output though, whatever bot was popular to use for reddit posting a few months ago loved to randomly bold parts of its responses.
