- Inclusion and Transparency values made more shitty

- Always free commitment removed. What? It’s right there “always”.

- Shittily hacking old blog post to become nonsensical

- Loss of confidence

- Stalling improvement cycle, no more repairs, just things quietly breaking and going bad.

Have some self respect people.

Make your point strongly by writing such articles WITHOUT the help of AI, grammar issues and all.

It amazes me that folks seem to miss the irony of using LLM tools to write an article on the evils/shortcominhs/ major ethical issues with AI.

Wanna complain about AI. Please do so, but please write it yourself.

“ Zig built the foundation, Claude erected the building, human reviewers are still en route.”

Wait?! Was this article also written with AI? Surely the author wouldn’t be so err pompus and dare I say somewhat hypocritical.

- hasn’t enshitifed

- makes quality tools that last

- much more repairable (saving you even more in the long term)

- single company, not a conglomerate, no weird vc influence.

For most tools you won’t need upgrades, just build out your collection as you go.

That said, maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any mention of pandoc that is known to do markdown > pdf rendering “client side”.

This wasn’t AI written by chance?

Originally created by a bike courier who sick of bags breaking sewed a bag out of the toughest material he could get, marine canvas. To this day they make somewhat indestructible, well designed, trendy well loved bags.

Also they have a lifetime warranty and repair policy that is very hard to beat. Maybe you’re not local, but you can tell these will be well made (and they really are)

Not sure if they ship to the US. But worth a look if you are serious about excellent well made well design backpacks.

I know so many Aussie tech folk who swear by the Crunpler Entity as their laptop bag of choice.

I’m sure it’s on its way out, but I did quietly laugh to myself from the irony.

50 cents per domain per month 10 cents per million queries

That’s prob cheap enough to support lots of little hobby sites and bigger traffic sites likely have some budget.

Easy upload of bind test files Flattened CNAME to support naked domains Robust free role based permissions to add other ppl

Anyone have suggestions for moving a stack of domains, many being little community and hobby projects away from cloudflare for a small overall price. Agency pricing like migadu offers for email on custom domains is what I have in mind.

> Curiously, there seems to be a lack of transparency around how Microsoft’s machine learning system decides when a device is ready to receive the automatic update.

The open secret is that the LLM has been prompted to make the call and no human in Microsoft is able to interrogate why the agentic AI is pushing updates to some machines and not to others.

This is an Ask HN with a linked article from early last year, but the bot removed the ask HN text. Oh well, curious on peoples thoughts.

Yes the title I put doesn’t math the article as my question is to the HN community now a year or so on.
