Sherline still has new ones.

Mine just worked. Couldn't be happier with it.

No, that's not the "definition".

Maybe it's like bacon in the same way that spaghetti squash is like spaghetti? (Shape only)

And, unsurprisingly, the video also includes speaking where the head of the company says that.


I'm not really disagreeing but people who grind their own mirrors might have the same feeling about people who buy a conventional telescope.


The same way you avoid a too-long article in the New Yorker.


"Too long" is a property visible from the very start. "written by an LLM" is not.

Any better advice?


Read the first few sentences. If you don't like it, stop reading. Stop being concerned about the provenance. In a year, you won't be able to tell that AI wrote it.


How is this criticism not just ad hominem slop? You could have said "It's way too long and verbose for what it's trying to say". The writer is orthogonal.


The idea that the writer is orthogonal is WILD


Because you think you're always going to be able to tell the difference between AI writing and human writing? That's WILD!


Really? Both strollers and wheels on luggage are pretty nice to have even if you have to somehow negotiate curbs. So, I think it is a coincidence.


And yet strollers predate rolling luggage by over a century. (Even 2.5 centuries depending on which sources you trust.)


The rolling luggage is primarily useful in the vicinity of airports. Inside airports there were no curbs. And I don't think people are going on long journeys through downtown areas with their luggage. I think you have a better argument asserting that rolling bags were facilitated by cheap polyurethane skate wheels.


There were fewer ramps and more stairs in airports and their parking garages prior to the 90s, due to the ACA.

And people drag luggage around on city streets all the time. Many tourist destinations are pedestrian cities even outside their most central downtown areas. And luggage also needs to be dragged around hotels — and in suburban areas their absurdly large parking lots.

The skate wheels are a plausible argument, though.
