Oh wow, I would not have caught that. I had a look at the first couple of pages, and as not-a-C-expert, it looked pretty solid to me. Readjusting our heuristics to generated slop (or even non-slop?) is gonna take so much more energy than before.

Although I've also been thinking about the overall role of effort in products, art, or any output really. Necessary effort to produce something is / was at least some indicator of quality that means that the author spent a certain amount of time with the material, and probably didn't want to release something bad if it meant they had to put a certain threshold of effort in anyways. With that gone, of course some people are gonna get their productivity enhanced and use this tool to make even better things, more often. But having to expend even more engery as a consumer to find out whether something is worth it is incredibly hard.

Because all the content is taken from my personal notes (with more to come on building a search engine, vector database, and graph database in C and Go), in the last step I used an LLM for editing and fixing grammar and formulas (typing LaTeX by hand takes a lot of time). If you find the content to be just AI slop, I'm sorry for taking your time.
