It does feel like a chore in weeks like this one where there are new models landing every day.
I'm also increasingly worried that I'm not providing enough value in my model reviews. It's really hard to get a useful and credible idea for the strengths of the new models.
My blog genuinely is a day job now, I make enough from the (unobtrusive, cookie-free) sponsorship banner that I no longer regret not having a proper software engineering job.

Posting his links and engaging in the discussions is his main job. This is spam, even if you like it - because most people don't want to see one person posting their links on every AI discussion, ranked at the top just because among hundreds of thousands of people reading HN, some thousands are not annoyed by seeing his blog links in every post.
The corect term is being a tech influencer and even if you say it with a bad connotation it's completely different than spamming which is low/no effort posting and most of the times selling something.
If having a job makes you unable to use basic English, then it's time to take a break like he does maybe.
If you think all he does is post pelicans on bicycles then you aren't actually reading or seeing as many of his posts as you think you do. There's quite a bit more to it than that.
Also for others, the pelicans on a bicycle posts are comparing results between models using a benchmark. They're not just random pelicans for the art value.
No one said his post was high effort/quality but please reply again and with your amazing language skills twist my words to double down on petty points like that.
I see you're being blammed. "They hated him because he spoke the truth." Just because this online character is from your alma mater website doesn't mean he's not cynically and shamelessly self-promoting.
That site is pure cancer. I opened the article in the same tab and then pressed back to come back to news.ycombinator.com, but it just showed me a bunch of blog spam from taboola which seemed to have hijacked the back button :-/
Stripe. We moved most of our payment processing from Paypal to Stripe last year, they're unbelievably more competent (an extrapolation from the quality of the tooling and APIs) and actually respond with meaningful input when a problem arises.
All our recent posts on social media (facebook, twitter) via buffer seem to have been automatically deleted. That's a lot of engaging posts, gone in a poof!
I'm curious as to whether this was misused by malicious website owners buying links for competitors and then reporting the competitor to the Webmaster team to get them lose their top ranking?
What steps does Google take to ensure this does not happen? A poster below asked the same question and someone else responded saying there are no documented cases of this happening, but let's just assume it's a hypothetical situation for now. What will Google do when something like this happens? How will they verify who was wronged?
I don't think the Panda update got it right with respect to the duplicate content problem though. I still see a bunch of StackOverflow content scrapers rank as high as StackOverflow and basically link back to StackOverflow. To the same post that is ranked number 1 for that particular query. Don't have examples right away - checking my history for those instances
One site I can remember is bigresource.com which is an aggregator of sorts, it seems
The larger problem being, sites with duplicate content still rank as high as the original.
