I just don't understand how people continue to do this. Are we really going to try and sell thoughtless articles as our own? With the same 4 fill-in-the-blank sentence structures?

Who is impressed by this? What purpose does this serve?

Yeah I am wondering how this got on the front page. I am glad the author is discovering the meaning of words and the basics of distributed systems. But yeah partition doesn’t mean sharding or performance, or parfait.

8 points in 3 hours, that has to be some boost to reach the front page indeed.

In these case our only solution is to flag, right? Or is there any other way to report it?

I just realized my original comment can be read in two ways. I was focusing on the blatant llm-sourced content. I don't think the author has even read this article so I doubt they discovered or learned anything.

The misunderstanding here wasn't noun vs. verb, it was 'subset of data' vs. network partition.

yes exactly - much better expressed
