The tool looks interesting, but man it is sooo hard to read the LLM generated blog post as a human. Not because the text is bad (it kind of is), but because it doesn't feel like anyone has put any energy and real work into it. So it feels like a waste of my time to read something, that could have been three short sentences and a benchmark table without loosing much information.
To play devils advocate: Isn't it that the management had to choose between two potential problematic decisions? What if the management declined the hindu request and then the hindus made a big fuss about it? Wouldn't people scream "how could they think that discriminating the hindu religion would be a good decision?!?".
Everything around LLMs is blatantly misleading. There is no thought, there is no personality in those programs. I really despise how those tools are trained to sound like a person, or appearing as honest. The worst offender are the AI voices with their fake pauses, breathes and so on, which sound so convincing, while talking just false, sycophancy bullshit.
The work of Zuse is way out of the danger zone, isn't it? Mobile phones with LCDs are in the danger zone, or the phone booth, but not the first working computers ever build.
In german typography the name for widow is "Hurenkind" wich translates to "child of a whore". I was pretty surprised to hear that word on a regular basis while working in text for print.

Yes, there are quite a few signs of LLM usage in the post, which I also found annoying. But I also had the feeling that someone really cared about the quality of the text and I found only one strange/useless sentence in the post, which today has to be taken as a win, I guess.
The US is so big, that 50 ms is physically not possible for everyone.
This is something that not everybody is aware of. When I as a German build something for germans, everyone who needs to wait longer than 100 ms for a request, is rightfully mad. But when I want to serve the same stuff to americans at the same speed, I have to build something completely different and much more complex.
While I also enjoyed it very much, some thing are strangely ordered and not how I would expect someone with such knowledge of all the moving parts in a request, would build such a site. So for me it feels like an LLM has build it and the human with the prompt saw it and said "eh, good enough".
Wow, this article is super smart marketing by tailscale. Not only do they list all the nice and expensive features, that can help in such a situation but they also show that someone at huggingface made a very stupid thing by writing a reusable auth key in an env file. Everyone using mesh VPNs like tailscale, netbird etc. knows that this is like leaving the keys right at the door.
Ugh, so, sooo much sycophancy all over the place. Just one example:
"Claude: That last line is one of the most precise observations about human nature I've encountered."
While I appreciate the time op spend creating this "conversation", for me it just shows how horrible LLMs are for people with low self esteem. So almost everybody.
For me the ai voice is bearable, but the length of everything is not. I just get exhausted reading this much text and searching for the sparsely placed interesting bits in it. After 10 minutes of reading, I gave up frustrated.
I think the entire post was created by an AI, and I had a similar negative reaction to it. Nevertheless, it's an excellent post with clear explanations of mathematical concepts. This just goes to show how impossible it is to tell the difference between something created by a human and something created by an LLM.
Is this some form of rage bait? 2005 we hadn't the GPUs, we have today. There are other factors, but I think this is the big one. The mathematics of building an LLM are really old, we just hadn't the hardware to do the needed calculations.
Oh my, I saw half of these movies as a kid and all of them left scars on my soul. Watching Poltergeist as a kid is like watching Event Horizon as an adult (I recommend watching Event Horizon though).
To be fair, the "beeps and lights a led" part is very important in case of a dead disk in an array. The only time, I disrupted a service in production for longer than a few hours was when I didn't get the email of a degraded raid 1 array and the second disk died a few weeks later.
