If a function can both insert and update, it should be called "put". Using "update" is misleading.

I like seeing what users are currently viewing the same page, but man the constant jostling of users coming and going made it hard to read the post.

Same here. Right-click the page and choose Inspect (or Inspect Element). Click the Console tab, paste this code, and press Enter:
document.getElementById("presence")?.remove();

Reminded me so much of a game called Chess Royale that I used to play, the avatars and the flags (screenshot [1]). It was really good too; and then Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they killed it even though the game had bots and could have been made single-player.
I tried uBlock's element zapper and ended up playing a furious game whac-a-mole :D

isn't this the page that used to have cursors everywhere in the background? I think the distracting design is some intentional running joke at this point

I found Safari’s “hide distracting items” feature was necessary to finish the article.

Maybe if the background color on all pages was a heatmap of the current top line of the page, so that you could see where people were reading and how many were reading, it would be better?
Also, what if it played slow and brooding music when fewer people were reading and epic action adventure music when many people were reading it?
How about if the page mined bitcoin and the first person to enter a page made a percentage higher percentage of the next person’s bitcoin and less of the next one, like a multi-level marketing mining strategy?

That heatmap idea sounds really neat actually.

It's pretty fun seeing what countries people are from. If you hover, it tells your their city as well!

i literally opened the developer console to delete that element from the page. no surprise somebody who has no idea how to make a readable website is getting bullied by a chatbot.

Its the bottom 20px or so, with a lot of content above it. Move the window down slightly.

Good. Think of all the dev hours that must’ve been wasted by humans who were confused by this too.
I aint reading all this with the animated live user bar at the bottom.

If it were somehow a human that was consistently and confidently handing out made up programming advice about one's products, would companies still respond by just adding whatever imagined feature and writing a vaguely bemused blog post about it?

Yes, but please separate plannning from reviewing, let alone real coding.

we have code review by LLM. There is no point or a way to argue. Just submit to the wishes of the overlord, resistance is futile.

For some reason this reminds me of the conversation I had with a guy who didn't like the lane keeping assist on his car.
He didn't like that it vibrated the steering wheel when he changed lanes without using the blinker.

I rented a car recently for a trip to Arizona that had lane keeping on by default. The highway I was traveling on was undergoing extensive repair. Not only did the car sound audible alarms with some frequency, since the highway had been rerouted in places using traffic cones, it also constantly tried to veer the car back into “the lane.” Since the lane was in some places just a hole, the consequences would have been bad. I ended up pulling over and fishing through the menus until I found a way to turn it all off.
It appears that there’s a very long tail of exceptional circumstances that must be handled with autonomous driving.

Yep, i'd not like it too - changing lanes requires increased attention and now during the maneuver you steering wheel starts to vibrate out-of-the-blue.
That isn't to argue about using of the blinker, it is about the way the assist is implemented in this case - it doesn't help directly with the blinker, instead it punishes you and thus stress-injects-and-conditions you for the instinct to use blinker next time. Net positive probably for the driver and society thus demonstrating again that forcing individual submission is an effective way to social harmony.
