Two Kickstarters, one with the "Projects We Love" badge from the platform itself, have raised $1M+ by promising a clamshell PC with mechanical keyboard while demo videos show a known AliExpress headless keyboard/touchscreen (no internals) running benchmarks while never showing the rear I/O suggesting hidden cabling.

How reliable is Pangram now? In the past, these types of detectors had a really high false positive rate. Is it improved?
Lucent · 20 days ago
When it flags something as high confidence, 3.1 is very reliable. Human-authored text I saw scoring ~70 with 3.0 now scores ~15. With scores above 90, the false positive rate looks to be about zero. https://www.pangram.com/blog/pangram-3-0-technical

Turns out my blog is actually a newsletter? Seems like a distinction without a difference.

Your writing disagree -

"This is not <>. This is how <>."

"When <> or <>, <> is not <>. It is <>."

"That alignment is what produces the sense of recognition. I already had the shape of the idea. The model supplied a clean verbal form."

It's all LLM's. Nobody writes like this.

It's easy to be a text maximalist now we're in the LLM era, but I disagree that ideas are a separate, nonphysical realm that cannot otherwise be described. https://lucent.substack.com/p/one-map-hypothesis

Rather than "hurting America," Crossfire was the highest form of political debate America could suffer before retreating into info bubbles.

Does anyone have much experience with these headphones? I am looking for similar but dont like headphones pressing on my ears. Are the quietcomfort suitable for that? Is the ultra a worthy upgrade? Is there anything better on the market now? Redddit seems to suggest that Sony ANC is superior.

I chose the Sony 1000XM4 because the RTINGS graph showed the strongest cancellation in the 60Hz range. All my tormentors are in the AC-powered machine noise range.

I don't doubt these bring awful externalities, but children requiring cochlear implants due to hearing loss from a nearby datacenter?
