Google barely maintains Blogger, and people have old blogs with old templates they never felt the need to change.

Where are the notes in this post? I can only see a bunch of quotes and zero original thought of the author.

When you took notes in class was it required of you to add original thought for it to be notes?

Taking notes in class is akin to making a transcript of what the teacher said in class so you can remember and refer to what was said in class. The encyclical is a written document, so there is no need for a transcript, and "notes" implies commentary and analysis.

I think it's just a poorly worded title. "Highlights from x" would be more clear. "Notes on" suggests some commentary.

HN has influencers like any other community. In this case, the upvotes are for the author and not the post.

Quote selection is, of course, representative of original thought of the author.

Still they are not notes, which means GP continues to be valid.

They don’t, they just have Claude commit and push straight to the main branch. Just like the author of this 100% slop app: https://github.com/leodavinci1/kanbots/commits/main/

And building a chat app is how you get promoted at Google.

When the AI bubble inevitably pops, the author will find a new way to skew results in favor of cloud LLMs. Like including the price of a desk and a chair in the local token cost.

I really wanted the laptop to look better cost-wise, but it doesn't.

I mean if you’re buying it just as an LLM inference server it’s not, but most people already have laptops, in which case it’s practically free

The UI is still terrible, still on the level of Microsoft Office 97.

Several years ago they added like 4 new "modern" UI styles that you can choose that are more fashionable. They're definitely innovating here, though I still find I'm most productive in the older style. And the sidebar for detailed properties is a huge improvement over 90s all-menu UI. Theme editing is also more accessible than in the Microsoft versions imo.

Sure, they have a wonky-looking ribbon now, but try doing anything more advanced, and you’re back to Office 97-era UX.

I should say that I disagree that office 97 era ux is necessarily worse than "modern". Office 365 is barely more capable than office 97 in any way that I care about.

Go to Edit > User Interface. There are 7 options including various ribbons like Microsoft Office.

> Border crossings inside 10 minutes. International rings.

Or normal people living in Europe in border-adjacent areas.

Also, I guess you don't include card-not-present transactions in this, but you incorrectly assume that every merchant has their location set correctly. And that every sale happens in a brick-and-mortar establishment, not from travelling salespeople or whatever. And that all transactions happen online.


Even US -> CA was maybe 10 min when I crossed a few weeks ago...

Is it possible that you are actually in a transnational crime syndicate without knowing it?

You know, I do keep getting random checks in the mail...

I think it would be fair to distinguish "reasonable report, but not actually a vulnerability" (where you get the submission fee back) and "slop" (where you don’t).

It's classic IEEE Spectrum, uninspiring slop since before slop was cool.
