It's wild to get a glimpse into the bubbles some people live in

The abrupt shift to LLM slop halfway through is jarring and disgusting to read.

Just don't. Your older posts are perfectly fine and much preferable to the most recent two.

The AI prose is painful.

And? John is not a shortened name.

I've been on public WiFi that blocked UDP (except for DNS to their local server). No sites require HTTP3 to function so it's not disruptive to a normal user.

> without needing so much as a simple majority confirmation vote in the House or Senate
This is intentional. Pardons are part of the checks and balances against the legislative branch.

It did introduce ambiguity though. Without the comma it is 100% clear that sentence lists 3 people.

Apple pages are _completely_ unusable because of this. If I go to product page I am unable to navigate it to extract information about the product. I give up and leave.

Try to skim this page to get a sense of how much information is on the page. You can't. 90% of the scroll time is stuck in useless animations.
Every time you scroll down you have to wait for the page to render. We've somehow recreated the dialup experience with single page apps.
Your brain is trained on how scrolling works on 95% of pages. Breaking that patterns causes tons of cognitive overhead. You now have to do a double-take every scroll action when you just want to absorb the contents of the page.

Not really. The equilibrium of removing daylight savings will result in schedules somewhere between DST and Standard Time. This just gets you there faster.
The trade off of having 30-minute time zone offsets probably isn't worth it, but this solution isn't immediately "stupid."

Seriously. This page terrible with multiple annoying rendering delays, and I'm supposed to care about helping their RSS feeds load faster?

Are you seriously comparing a random hacker to a lifelong academic for their odds of becoming a crypto shill?

Do you think the submitter intended this as an ad? His post history doesn't seem suspicious.
Or do you think article's author wrote this an an ad? He's a reputable academic who seems impressed with an AI tool he used and is honestly sharing his thoughts.
For reference he published the 80 page inflation mini-book 2 weeks ago asking for feedback: https://www.grumpy-economist.com/p/inflation

There are times when an em dash can be used in place of a semicolon, but I don't think that's the usual LLM usage. Instead it's replacing a replacing a comma, colon, or period.
Unless you're talking about restructuring your sentences to allow for a semicolon; that's fine.
For example that semicolon could have been an em dash, but I don't think it's the type that LLMs over favor.
