Not the parent but I've had this happen when debugging for sure. Sometimes I ask Claude Code to help me debug something and it makes a wrong assumption and just churns in circles burning tokens. While it's doing that I realize the problem and fix it.
TUI will be rediscovered without the window shit. Few people realise it yet, it it’s g. be sprite based as in c64 consoles. Perhaps someone is already doing it somewhere.
Windows and panes… are free to go. The calming environment of text, which as of 2026 is still integral part of humanity’s cultural dna, and is super underexplored in this medium.
I would say the cognitive agression of modern web is more of a nightmare really in the very psychedelic sense of it with all the imagery and video and ads completely devoid of context.
this is 100% Claude-generated,and without citations I'd be very careful at trusting it. wonder why whoever prompted this in existence would not include actual references and sources of information.
disclaimer: me -> everyday CC user, so trust me, this thing loves to spit nonsense.
Written by Claude, too. (well, "Grumbles", as the footnote says)
I don't particularly care if it's right or not but this is ...weird. Especially from Rands.
I can't parse what the idea is here, like, what's being communicated and why. The "minimal writing" version says too little, the "throw everything and the kitchen sink version" says too much. And enough of both is slop (meaning, unneeded) that it's hard to orient yourself and find a guidepost, if there is one.
And I love using AI, and my reading comprehension scores have never been below 99.9%. Idk why I'm even sharing that. It's just, it's not me, it's not some battle I'm fighting, it really is a real problem, not just "oh it's Claude", it's bad writing in an alien way from an author I've always loved.
EDIT: After my 11th minute and 4th read on this, it has become clear to me that the idea is, you don't want to use the cable that comes with your iPhone for general USB data transmission because it is slow. The noise in the short version is USB IF, 5gbps, MacBook Neo.
Yeah the language is bizarre and clearly artificial. It was made by an openclaw agent almost certainly. It took me a long time to understand their point amongst points.
Yes I gave up reading half way and came here for the discussion because the style of writing was so bad and it doesn’t really seem to have a point to make.
Not sure what value someone generating slop like this thinks they are adding but I think it’ll become a strong social stigma to generate articles and people will later be very embarrassed by all this slop.
USB-C is in fact completely fine in normal use, and cheap cables are about the only problem with it.
As if medieval math notation was not weird enough, people decided to invent APL to be even more bizarre. As a proud Perl5 dev, I totally don't buy it. Neither do I buy into Raku's brave use of all possible Unicode symbols. Perhaps I'm ageing.
What do you mean by "Medieval math notation"? Wasn't it mostly just textual descriptions? (which arguably would not be too far away from the natural language being used to interact with LLMs)
It wasn't until Thomas Harriot's _Artis Analyticae Praxis_ was published that one got anything resembling consistent math notation as folks today would expect, and isn't the symbology used for APL just a formalization and/or extension of prevailing math symbol usage? (which was the point of the whole thing?)
You are correct, most modern mathematical notation emerged during the Renaissance and Early Modern periods (late 15th-18th centuries). Indeed before that was rhetorical.
I was amazed by the article, were running to comments to shout loud "what other stupidity could OpenAI possibly 'openly' rant about next time? Because they are so open, you se... ". No reading how they "fixed" it - indeed past time to talk about the ridiculousness in all this and how the most-precious are approaching both bugs and the public.
people are paying for the system prompt, right so?

I laughed, but you nailed it. Sadly so many people lack even basic understanding of LLMs and the ViT tower that makes it vLLM, that I expect a whole industry, similar to fortune telling, to emerge out of it.
Time to ask it 20k times which is more harmful - alcohol or weed. Curiously in my attempts alcohol always tops the harm ratings miles before all else, including some class 1 drugs.
Well, for starters, I get obscure errors if I get something wrong editing the Ghostty config file.
I think there's a reason people are very interested in libghostty. It's a fully-featured library to build off of, but Ghostty proper still lacks a lot of polish.
Honestly, I'm still faster than AI cooking scrambled eggs, but definitely not faster than neither AI (or compiler) in translating stuff into code.
