Saved you a click: Tom Bombadil is who they're referring to

There's likely a way to do with via Tasker/MacroDroid but you'll likely need to use Shizuku (or possibly root) to change these system settings.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I had an orange tabby also named Kiki for most of my childhood through early adulthood, 16 years. He suffered from kidney failure and it was a sad day when we had to put him down.

May you have peace during this time.

I'm curious about your Android method, just to see if it's something I want to explore as a solution.

Here I talked about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48275963

I bet you could use an MDM method on a regular Android, but I'm waiting for one that supports GrapheneOS. It's still a WIP https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/13587-mdm-on-grapheneos/38

I don't think @ tags have any effect on HN, you'll want to email the mods directly: hn@ycombinator.com

To be fair, that's a direct quote from Vercel themselves introducing Geist Pixel: https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-geist-pixel

Some people wrote like that before LLMs polluted the water.

Just like people used em dashes before LLMs.

I used bullet points heavily before LLMs.

I felt personally attacked when LLMs came out: I'm an avid user of "—", bullets, numbered lists, and the word "delve". It's been a miserable couple of years.

LLMs write like that because people wrote like that. Enough, unfortunately for my remaining love of humanity, to cause the LLMs to adopt the quirk.

I know. That’s my point.

People talk about LLM writing style like it’s a unique butterfly and humans don’t write that they. But we do. Which is why LLMs do too.

Many many years ago I wrote a book for Apress, and the style guide for that instilled in me a lot of practices that now make my writing feel LLM-ish to some readers:

- Use bulleted lists, but always introduce and conclude a list with prose; a list can't immediately follow a heading or end a section.

- Use a mix of long and short sentences; in long sentences with parentheticals, use a mix of commas, parens, semicolons, and em dashes.

- With multiple continuous blocks of prose that aren't naturally broken up by an illustration or heading, start a paragraph with an inline bold statement to help anchor the reader.

I still use bullets extensively. You can easily tell when a human writes them when they are trees instead of lists.

I don't think even that is a reliable indicator because I'm currently reviewing an LLM generated bullet tree right now.

Oh interesting. Before the LLM craze, I only ever saw good bullet trees in legalese and git commit messages. The trainwrecks were far more likely to be the rare attempt by HR in a big email or in the odd Jira epic by a PM.

I wouldn't think LLMs would have much to train on. I still see some bad ones, but I don't feel like the quality ratio or overall quantity has changed. I do see more bullet lists though.

For sure, but I don't think I'm going to give Vercel benefit of the doubt that they aren't writing their copy with an LLM.

but what does that even mean?

There is a 99% chance (IMO) that Microsoft is going to go the same route as Google here

Microsoft has already gone down this road some three years ago...

Also, usually, as soon as they realize they have a not-total-shit product, they immediately start to screw it up completely. So if bing ends up being better actually, it won't be long until they replace every good part of it with something ridiculous. I don't know how microsoft does it, but they are so incredibly good at that.

Same with all the bigger tech blogs from a decade ago. How-To Geek is completely overrun with the same sort of slop. Finally had to remove it from my RSS reader.

Oh look at that, XDA and HTG are both owned by Valnet:

At least Anandtech just shut down rather than turning into a zombie tech blog.

private equity, what would we do without you?!
