Cannot help but think Claude team are busy adding gimmicky side features instead of doing 'real' RSI and bugfixing.

Free open models are still capable of flooding art communities with slop images, which is worth sympathy, and is not included in your "Which highlights that the issue is with the hyper scalers, the rhetoric, the corporations, the marketing, etc etc".

It's not weird. Top of HN is worthless as a barometer at this point, people downvote for calling out AI slop.

> The timing of these log spikes lined up with drops in user-facing traffic, which makes sense. Our data plane heavily uses memcached to keep load off our main Scylla database, and if we're exhausting ports, that's a huge problem.

I expect this is common.

New comment by goekjclo in "Science Communication and the Hype Machine"

goekjclo — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:47:34 +0000

Description of the article: The incentive structure for scientists and science writers is towards hype. More exaggeration often means more clicks or attention/funding dollars.

The nature of scientific research, where millions of papers are produced every year and any one result is rarely meaningful on its own doesn't lend itself well to being news. Every study has flaws, but when its a news story, you need two things: something new, and something that's a story. It needing to be new means focusing on whatever was just published, before its known if it has a big impact on subsequent research. And needing to be a story means limitations detract from the narrative and are left out.

Debunkers play double duty, confronting misinformation but also acting as a counterbalance to the incentives to hype things up. When you might be publicly called out, by colleagues or other science writers, there's a constraint on how far the exaggeration goes -- assuming you care about your reputation.

Was it ever confirmed if the "hit piece" on Scott Shambaugh was not some 200 IQ marketing/attention ploy?

in some attempt to maximize "engagement" metrics it's sacrificing intimacy and convenience that made it viable for the "bedtime" or "commute" listener in the first place.

If I have to keep my screen active to hear the content, it's really not a podcast anymore, it's like a hostage situation for my battery life lol
