Okay, so I'm supposed to replace a well-supported, stable company's product by a vibecoded slopfest of a vindictive, laid off engineer? Who in their right mind would do that? That's the other side of the medal of managers pushing for "we'll just use AI for that and build it ourselves".

It's not the same commodity. Most stuff has already open source alternatives.

I'm sorry, but if I'd see this when checking your GitHub in an application, it'd be a red flag for me.

The basic premise sounds fine, humans like to belong. But you really notice how cynic the takes are and that the models have been trained on the internet mostly.

> Humans are far more decent than they believe they are, and their cynicism about each other does more damage than their actual flaws.

I think that's more the truth.

Not sure I feel good about this. LLMs are so majorly misaligned. Having takes like these asks for trouble.

I always wanted to exponentially grow slop, thank you. The less I understand about what's happening, the better. Totally what I as a user want. Thanks G.

When I hand off work to an agent it always, always, always gets the level of abstraction, important details or just missed context wrong. I'd rather have a lot of reviews than hand off work. Imho it's just not there yet if you care about what is actually generated.

Pretty lame trolling attempt.

That's my point ;)

Because they can't learn out of their own lessons? That's not hypocrisy

'"Forest" is a polite way to refer to what appears to be a monoculture plantation.' That would mean that Europe almost has no Forest according to you and there's nothing worth protecting?

As the other commenter said, not helpful. If you go with cf countries, Germany is one of the worst offenders. But only because it has Frankfurt as a big traffic node and lots of hosting providers.

Super interesting! Good you find it. Sounds like math rock/post rock somehow, or at least adjacent to that.

Projects like this need to start supporting coop et al.

I'm also reading the first dungeon crawler carl series. You might really like the bobiverse, just got another book as well! Before that I read "a short stay in hell", super good! Or discordia by max barry or road kill by dennis e. taylor. All very entertaining.

it's a generalistic classifier w/training needed tho. as far as I'm concerned that is somehwat novel and very practical. you get an ok classifier without working out training data and whatnot. sure, you can do classic ML experiments, but the closest that comes to mind is auto ml. not sure how far we got there, it's been a minute for me on this front.

so I don't agree on the premise that it's "just a classifier". it's not something earth shattering, but practical nonetheless

/e: there's another post from sebastian raschka on this: https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/classifier-history-a...

Super dope. If it would ship as prod ready code supporting mps as well that would be even doper.

But funny that jev is getting its lunch eaten apparently in under two weeks?

part of agentic engineering is classification as well tho. reviewing/gating, what to read etc. don't need a full LLM

Super cool, love the aesthetic. Buy testing the whole blog a bit better would've surfaced the "all posts" link going to an empty page I guess? Also: not reading code for a toy project like this vs in a commercial setting shouldn't be compared at all. Would also really love to see the token spend on this.

It's also a gamble that you don't have to look at the underlying layers because it's "the new abstraction layer". Which is intellectually incredibly lazy.

They talk about astractions as if "requirements -> code" is the same as "Go -> ASM -> bytecode". Which is just utterly stupid. But downvotes tell me a different story haha.

I'm also management btw, and the two startups I am a CTO at all have clear buy-in from other C-levels that we can't just spam AI slop w/o reading it and hope for the best. But I do see that most probably don't see it.

I really don't get this discussion at all. Ignoring human comprehension etc., every code review of agentically created code shows bad tests (lots of overfitting, testing on specific implementation details, not general behaviour/business logic), weird and repetitive abstractions, duplications of code, circumventing architecture etc. etc. It's a complete mess. Unmaintainable, bad craft, bug-prone and corrosive. That's what you want to catch. You're piling on tech debt like hell and you're gonna pay for it down the line. Look at the fucking code and then come back to argue. Jesus. I don't even understand how this is a debate. Look at the code.

> Europe's immigration problems

Nobody said all of Europes problems. Maybe don't argue against a straw man you created yourself?

You should really step outside more and touch some grass

If it has context I appreciate them because it helps me make better informed decisions. Why not? HN isn't an editorials page exclusive for posters (except YC slop lol)

Well, this is old news. I'm still baffled by the fact that people take output of public personas as isolated facts. Take Nietzsche. Sure, great philosophical input. But try reading the sections about women. Same for Schopenhauer. Why? Because they were both incels and had big mother wounds that have never been addressed. So they spew their shit and people take it at face value even tho it stems from hurt. So why would I take any of this seriously if it's very obviously stupid and removed from reality? (Doesn't mean their whole works are)

People chasing the absolute rational are in my experience numbing their emotional part because theres something they can't look at. Or people that chase success above all are driven by their "unresolved packages" as well. I'm not saying that any of this is wrong per se, it's not black and white. But it's the context for what people do, say, and think. They are human after all. We need to consider context and not only the idea itself.

> GDR did not treat this people well

I thought this was very clear already? Your link is "yet another cruel thing the gdr did" tho and is much appreciated.

> Strokes boil gently: three frames of the same sketch, micro-wobbled around a shared base, cycled by pure CSS at 1200ms.

lol. I was kinda excited to use it for AI-generated wireframes but this is such a turn off.

Censorship is not alignment and vice versa.

Alignment is "don't solve this problem without doing stuff that harms me, other people, breaks stuff or is otherwise unethical". I'd say alignment is the questions on how to limit the search space to what's implied.

sadly not. I just run circles trying to remediate it after the fact

For me it also produces totally overengineered tests that are tightly coupled to the implementation. For example testing existence of css classes (in a template based go prooject ...) instead of behaviour.

But my point is the "decolonization" bit. Fine, we work towards more accurate maps. Everbody (except the US government haha) wants that I guess. It's the identity politics part that still baffles me.

The comments overwhelmingly say: mercator isn't really in use. So what is this weird "decolonization" push then? Virtue signalling? I see it a lot from US-based people nowadays. Seems like a weird fetish as a European.

The gender move is divisive and intellectually lazy. Publishing trend -> it's men's fault. But wait, it's actually a societal trust crisis. Come one. Can we please not entertain trash like that?

No proof of the connection was provided, it's just virtue signalling. In times like these we don't need more division and hate.
