I feel like it said a whole lot without giving me much to take action on. Like great, you summarized the current state of affairs but it doesn't make clear what I am to do about it.

To be fair, not every article is a call to action. Sometimes they exist purely for informational purposes.
It definitely feels like it was edited with AI, structure and tone seem like the usual AI "polish".
Lately I've been working on an embedded system with limited access to std lib/libc and this was very interesting but I was hoping to see more information, like how can I tell if something will be supported? what are alternatives? what does implementation specific mean?
I guess I am used to HN having more in-depth articles.
Are you making this claim specifically about this one particular post, or about everything on the blog, which dates back about a decade ?
Like "These Artemis 2 photos were generated by AI" is wrong but "The broadcast footage of the Apollo missions was generated by AI" is incredibly stupid and I want to understand if I'm about to engage with an incredibly stupid opinion.
There is a clear and sudden transition on this blog where prior to a certain date there are zero instances of the em-dash and then suddenly it appears like crazy. Like look at his archived posts from 2023, absolutely no em dashes... now look at every post from 2025 and almost every single one of them are literred with them.
The fact that the average person is seemingly incapable of detecting LLM text drives me insane. Every aspect of that article screams LLM. The tone, the punctuation, the sentence structure, the overall structure, it's so incredibly obvious. But the average person really is oblivious to it.
This was written by AI, wasn't it?

I don't think it's a coincidence.

If this line wasn't written by a LLM I'll eat my hat.
I swear being online these days feels like being one of the dog handlers from the Terminator.
