@fay59@tech.lgbt This has been one of the better articles I've read in a long, long time. Phenomenal writing. As a #sysadmin, my anxiety is slightly elevated.

@atoponce@fosstodon.org @fay59@tech.lgbt hate to say it, but I think this article may be partly/largely AI. In addition to some of the hallmark phrasing and heading styles, there are some glaring mistakes and inconsistencies. For example: “The sequence would run 23:59:57 → 00:00:00, with 23:59:58 and 23:59:59 simply not existing. The last minute of the affected UTC day would contain only 59 seconds.” Also a reference to a paper in Nature that becomes a CNN interview (never mentioned again).
