Would you like Copilot to generate ads?

[Yes] [Maybe later]

Literally every day from green accounts on Hacker News, and in many, many TFAs.

*LLM

I've found myself wanting something like this since I switched to the new built-in vertical tabs, as it's a pain to get rid of them temporarily in side-by-side windows.

The second and only other option not being "Maybe later"? Let me into the dream you're living in :)

And the 4 other comments the account added to different threads within the same minute.

Digg isn't just here again. It's gone again.

The LLM style is like nails down a blackboard, are people blind to it or do they just not even read the stuff they're posting?

It's an LLM pattern but it was learned from training on these kinds of posts. People actually wrote that way, a lot, on the internet.

I'd love to see an analysis of the prevalence of "it's not x, it's y" before and after 2022

It is not an LLM style and you may want to reconsider your choice of allowing LLMs to live free in your head.

Am I imagining things, or has HN become even more noticeably overrun with green usernames spewing LLM-generated comments since this guideline was added? Spiteclaws?

Phase 1b: The Desalter doesn't show anything on the grid in Firefox (v148.0.2), so you automatically lose.

Ah interesting, I have playtested on safari, chrome, and edge. I’ll have to look into what’s unique there. Thank you!

Up-to-date Firefox on Linux allowed me to complete certification of a shipment of Jet fuel, no trouble all the way through.

Great concept and execution.

Hurray! Thank you for the update note. I was going to get after it tonight after I put the kids to bed otherwise.

On Win11 Firefox latest (148.0.2), I still cant see them :\

You owe me nothing! I just wanted to let you know!

If you open the Firefox inspection window, right-click any element on a webpage and select Inspect. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+C (Mac). You can also access it via the menu button (three horizontal lines) -> More Tools -> Web Developer Tools.

Does it show any errors?

I figured out why it wouldn't work on my machine:

    @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
        *, *::before, *::after {
            animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
            animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
            transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
        }
    }

With reduced-motion enabled (which is basically required in Tahoe :eyeroll:), animations complete immediately and there is no chance to click the salt/water.

Same reason for me, I don't want animations specifically in my OS.

I wish there was a separate OS-level setting for apps.

Is this still happening? I thought I gutted the reduce animation coding

Ah! Tried to add an accessibility feature and broke it! I’ll see what I can do to find a better middle ground.

This should be fixed, I just removed the animation stop for this game.

If you're going to deploy what you make with them to production without accidentally blowing your feet off, 100%, be they RegExp or useEffect(), if you can't even tell which way the gun is pointing how are you supposed to know which way the LLM has oriented it?

Picking useEffect() as my second example because it took down CloudFlare, and if you see one with a tell-tale LLM comment attached to it in a PR from your coworkers who are now _never_ going to learn how it works, you can almost be certain it's either unnecessary or buggy.

For things Im working on seriously for my work, for sure, I spend time understanding them, and LLMs help with that. I suppose, also having experience Im already prone to asking questions about things I have a suspicion can go wrong

But there is also a ton of times something isnt at all important to me and I dont want to waste 3 hours on
