The mid-size Fenix that I'm talking about is 47mm. The Pixel 5 with this shitty battery life is 45mm. And the also-shitty Ultra is 49mm. So, no, size is not the difference at all.

My Fenix 8 lasts for about a month with 10 hours per week of training. 30 hours with everything enabled is pathetic for a smart watch.

It's so, so clearly written by Claude. What are you talking about. Do you really think that you can fool people with so little effort?

This is so much more interesting than yet another LLM release.

Tell me you're bad at software engineering without telling me you're bad at software engineering.

It literally is just next word prediction. If you don't understand that, everything else you're thinking and saying is based on an incorrect foundation.

Take a step back and really take a look at what's going on. You are not thinking clearly.

Everyone saying it is in the "not as good as they think they are" camp is the very obvious explanation.

Massively different from algorithmic doom scrolling feeds.

I would call HN a type of social media lite, but not the type of social media that's leading to generation-wide mental health issues in children/teens.

Yes, social media creates useful idiots, you are correct. And also possibly one of them, if you're arguing that it somehow makes people smarter or more informed.

Social media is so, so much worse than anything a government could come up with. This is a good thing for the world even if there are ulterior motives at play.

Everyone is free to be as snooty as they like. If a report is harder to read/understand/validate because the author just yolo'ed it with an LLM, that's on the report author, not on the maintainers.

It's not okay to foist work onto other people because you don't think LLM slop is a problem. It is absolutely a problem, and no amount of apologizing and pontificating is going to change that.

Grow up and own your work. Stop making excuses for other people. Help make the world better, not worse. It's obvious that LLMs can be useful for this purpose, so people should use them well and make the reports useful. Period.

It can be correct and slop at the same time. The reporter could have reported it in a way that makes it clear a human reviewed and cared about the report.

Slop is a function of how the information is presented and how the tools are used. People don't care if you use LLMs if they don't tell you can use them, they care when you send them a bunch of bullshit with 5% of value buried inside it.

If you're reading something and you can tell an LLM wrote it, you should be upset. It means the author doesn't give a fuck.

Yes, it is very possible for someone to be smart and an idiot at the same time.

Do you think you're smart? Have you ever done something and said "man, I'm an idiot"? It's just like that.

Of course, the other explanation is that he's just grifting, which is also very possible.
