So this is AI slop written? Why would anyone believe I'd want to read AI spam?

Also, the issue I see is who controls browsers as much more profound. We need to find a solution here, as the browser is too important to allow private companies to keep mankind hostage.

Edit: Wow, and the praise-accounts. Is that new on hackernews?

What signs of slop are people seeing here? Or is it just a knee-jerk reaction to encountering lots of text?

I’ve worked in the field for a long time and see a carefully written, correct, calm article. No obvious AÍ tells in wording or sentence construction. It is a bit long - might have been inspired by ciechanow.ski

"and there’s a reason for that" "The code isn’t slow. It just happens to be the code that’s holding the main thread." "dealing with the main thread becomes the important part" "What to remember for now is that holding the main thread for a long time is the same thing as freezing the screen." "One thing not to misread here is"

I realize the author may not write native English, but this is not translation slop, it's AI writing slop.
