you can't use a single word the LLM selects for you, even if it's better than your own; users detect LLM words in the parts per trillion.

if you have good enough transitions, an essay will feel as if it has a good structure. And vice versa: when readers complain about lack of structure, the reason is often simply that they're bothered by clumsy or abrupt transitions.

A reader's own mental image of a character is as valid as the author's depiction of them.Their words
Some readers like this, others don't, and if the Samantha in your head looks nothing like the one on the page, yours is the correct one.

Risk & RewardTheir words
Carlson, author of the aptly named blog A Wealth of Common Sense, brings a similar approach to this book. While much of it might seem familiar to sophisticated readers, Carlson's clean and clear use of data — both in charts and text — makes basic points memorable.

It's a cold mode. Most readers recoil at it. Characters are our windows into a story, and third-person objective narrators are opaque windows.

There's little point trying to avoid LLMisms as a human, the readers who'll latch onto that don't care what you're saying anyway.

The deal was always simple: search engines had permission to crawl sites because they were going to be sending users to those sites. If they're hitting your site half a million times for every one user they send to your site, all they're giving you is higher costs.

I don’t think this is very productive (expert users of a piece of software are notoriously bad at being able to tell if an explanation will be clear to non-experts), so I needed to find a way to identify problems with the man pages that was a little more evidence-based.

If something is behind a unique paywall, then almost all of my readers can’t read it, and the post is effectively outside of the broader conversation.

I'm trying to thoroughly write my thought processes, values, and worldview, so that you can remember it, re-create it and improve upon it.

The Dark Lord's DaughterTheir words
Mind candy fantasy for younger readers, in which Mr. and Mrs. Middle America's beloved adoptive daughter turns out to be from Somewhere Else, which comes calling. It's very fluffy, which I was in the mood for, and Wrede is always reliably enjoyable.

Every time you find a new favourite blog or Twitter account or Tiktok personality online, you’ll have to ask: Is this really a whole human with a rich and complex life like mine?

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
