Sincere question: where are you buying beef for $5/lb? I shop at Costco and ground beef is close to $10/lb

I thought I wasn't, but you're making me second-guess myself.

Agreed. This is genuinely interesting content, but there is no doubt in my mind that "The two operations diverge on real characters—ß, İ, final sigma—which is why lowercasing as a stand-in silently produces wrong matches." is LLM output.

Are we doomed to spend the rest of our professional and personal lives reading AI output?

This shit drives me insane. Last year I had my home insurer send me a link in an SMS pointing me to allstate.yem.bo to collect some information. Stop training your users to get phished!!

like most of the reddit posts these LLMs are trained on, this is a creative writing assignment

Unlike 3 years ago, when nobody complained about software being slow, buggy and chaotic

Did you want the article to teach you read Classical Chinese?

> Since these representations appear to be largely inherited from training data, the composition of that data has downstream effects on the model’s emotional architecture. Curating pretraining datasets to include models of healthy patterns of emotional regulation—resilience under pressure, composed empathy, warmth while maintaining appropriate boundaries—could influence these representations, and their impact on behavior, at their source.

What better source of healthy patterns of emotional regulation than, uhhh, Reddit?

You sure about that? It really comes off as LLM output to me, in its general structure and formatting, attention-grabbing opening sentences of paragraphs ("This ratio has a profound consequence:", "This distinction matters."x2), and the classic "it's not X, it's Y" stuff ("The collector is a hybrid optical-power megastructure, not a single dense slab of ordinary powersats.", "The shell does not interact with a small number of giant launchers. It interacts with a dense distributed network.")

I'm sure all the vibe coded slop that eats the SaaS market will be better about license attribution.

I'm using tailscale for this and am finding it great. I have an Unraid home server/NAS, which has quite nice tailscale integration. The server can be used as an exit node, and each containerized application/workload can be configured to use tailscale and get a nice (https) address that works in your tailnet. I'm not close to hitting the free tier limits, though I'd be happy to pay for it (and I do pay for mullvad through them)
