Why were people so incredibly wordy back then?

It's not an optimization if it pessimizes almost all usage by adding a check for the dunder

The only other reasonable explanation would be that he has consumed so much LLM content that the machine has erased his voice and replaced it with its own.

Yes, that's the point where I was like "wait a second" and started counting em dashes. A third alternative, perhaps the LLMs were trained hard on his prior work? :-)

I wish they would just explain it in normal terms instead of this nasty LLM "engaging blog post" style

This is the key insight.

Worth flagging, real gap, transparent win, center of gravity... I'm tired boss

This feels like saying there are probably hundreds of stars in the universe

That's rude. Give them back

I thought the author might just be heavily influenced by the LLM style, but when there are also complete non sequiteurs like

> Low frequencies take very few bits to encode, and you feel them as much as hear them

yeah then it starts to smell pretty bad.

Several and a few are the same number, they only differ rhetorically.

Presumably there is an antialiasing low pass filter somewhere before JS gets to the data. I have a similar sample rate and it certainly didn't work at all for me.

What do you mean by cycles? A ripple-carry adder needs to wait for the carry bits to ripple through yes, but there's no clock cycle involved.

Good to know!
