Absolutely. I'll search for a GOOGLE app to install on a new phone, and it's 3rd on the list, with two completely unrelated apps showing up at the top, waiting to be accidentally clicked and installed, and probably then start popping up ads and other malware.

Pistol whip, beat saber and audio trip are in my rotation. Also I expect you to die I/II/III or whatever the numbering is.

wasn't it thoreau who said "Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short"

personally, I think there's a time and place for short versus long, just like there's a time and place for a 45mins TV episode versus a 2 hour marathon movie.

and when future LLMs are trained on this style, the prose (if I can call it that) becomes even worse?

Academic writing uses words with meaning in very domain specific ways; those in the domain understand it, and those outside find it confusing.

If an AI just randomly throws out domain specific words without that domain's specific meaning, it becomes very painful for everybody to read, and worse still adds a level of ambiguity that defeats the whole purpose of that academic writing in the first place.

Yes, this was a bit of a surprise to read when dealing with crypto: "This one lives in CIRCL's threshold RSA implementation... float64 has a 53-bit mantissa... the result is silently rounded before it is ever cast back to an integer. "

this is numerical methods 101, i.e. why 1+1 != 2

I'm a bit surprised that this is from cloudflare. Anybody from CF care to comment? Is this like prototype/super skunkworks code that somehow made it through?

are you allowed to video them to see whether they can actually do a good job?

I don't have a rug... oh wait...

I feel like this is the sort of thing William Gibson should write...

That would a Microsoft'ese, "Some regions are encountering issues" => "The entire world is down, but our status page is working"

I've read blindsight and echopraxia, but not starfish, so thanks for the reminder.

If starfish is even despairing than blindsight and echopraxia, then this should be "fun"!

part of this I understand is survival. And I understand why you do this.

The other part of this is why it's so frustrating for me to find the right person. Everybody's resume looks perfect for the role, and I have to waste 30-45 mins digging into their actual experience. You have done yourself a great disservice by wasting that time sitting in an interview you were not qualified for, and worse still I always feel there are other, more qualified people, who I have missed/passed over their resume since it wasn't AI tuned.

Sincerely, I don't know how t make this better.

that's a very dangerous analogy, because you would be considered the domain expert and you are just asking for synonyms for something you already know but may not remember off-hand.

now, what if you asked for the synonym for "provides" in a language that has gender differences (e.g. spanish/portuguese) as well as societal nuances (e.g. japanese) and it gives you "confers", how would you now know that's correct?

ah, so you say you tell it to take into consideration gender differences, as well as societal nuances. What are those, if you were not already familiar with the language?
