Lots of slop PRs at $WORK. Trying Claude Tag, works well but token-billed, daily usage over 100€ for three sessions.

replied to:

ouch, that's a month for virtually unlimited Codex. why so expensive?

replied to:

Anthropic uses token billing for Claude Tag. But it’s different from CC - it’s an AI Colleague, so I’m asking PM and EM to talk to it instead of to me - accountability switches.

replied to:

so it's expensive and you're left with dealing with the PRs others generate for you?

…

replied to:

No, Claude Tag’s PRs are my team’s. Slop PRs come from outside of the team. Anyways, dozens PRs per day is draining energy. Don’t want to review anything anymore.

Judgement, taste and quality were always precious skills. In the world of , I have become more aware of the fact that it is often hard to put in words why something is good, great or amazing - or just looks good, but is average. A lot of the professional content I see feels like most Netflix series. They have all the elements - but the overall experience is still meh. Quality is still hard to achieve.

Ask HN: What's slop? what's AI written text and why read/not read? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49289341#49290428

replied to:

You've hit the nail on the head. But here's the mindblowing part—writing isn't just about text on a page. It's not about listing a bunch of facts to memorize. Writing is about human connection. And here's where it gets even more fascinating... [parody, not AI]

…

replied to:

Some writing yes, If you want to write a post saying why your company has a position yes; if you are documenting an API, does the average swagger page have a human connection factor? If you are in X/FB, is any of your followers a "human connection"?

continued:

Then, in some spaces, say big corp communications, the terse, direct communication is desired, for example the quarter earning communication? What about software?, what part of your browser gives you the "human connection"?

replied to:

If writing (incl X/FB posts) is meant to convey "some human being did/saw/thought this and found it worth writing about", then AI undermines human connection and will annoy people. API docs, earnings reports, &c never conveyed that to begin with, so nobody will care about AI use.

replied to:

I think slop is not taking the time to refine and polish and simply publishing something as it was handed to you by the . You use AI but the decisions should be yours. Otherwise it's .

késztetést érzek, hogy valami ilyesmivel (is) foglalkozzam, a kódoláshoz egyelőre nincs agyam, de majd azt is szeretnék, csak scripteket, semmi komoly programnyelv, de végülis a JavaScript is scriptnyelv

I feel the urge to do something like this, I don't have the brains for coding yet, but I would like to, just scripts, no serious programming languages, but after all, JavaScript is also a scripting language

In an attempt to put myself out there, I have started a blog to write about my experience as a software engineer. Feel free to check out my first article :)

Adjust for mobile, please, currently it’s unreadable on iPhone.

This has been fixed, thank you for pointing that out

看到其他文章有自動翻譯，我覺得很酷

I think it's really cool to see other articles with automatic translation.

continued:

所以我來嘗試一下自動翻譯的文章功能，但發現自動翻譯只有在瀏覽器上，行動裝置要自己手動按翻譯功能。

So I tried the automatic article translation feature, but found that automatic translation only works in the browser; on mobile devices, you have to manually press the translation button.

Anthropic is announcing the end of the world every few days. All this marketing disguised as news about an impeding danger of AI is tiresome.

replied to:

If climate change or AI ends humanity first, who will collect the prediction market winnings?

replied to:

not marketing. yes their jobs positively select for concern about ai, but most people that are actively researching the field are concerned about the current state of safety, pace and incentives. I dont agree with a lot anthropic does, but i do believe the employees take safety seriously and they obviously have a better understanding of it than us. also theres no incentive for someone like coxon to sound alarm bells on twitter for "marketing" reasons, after quitting anthropic

Using Linux hasn't really been fun lately, idk. Nobara, despite building on fedora breaks a lot, but overall the whole ecosystem is so damn inconsistent and fragmented. Not sure if I have gotten more sensitive to this over the years but all I want is a system that "just works" and feels good 😔

replied to:

I had a great run with Mint for years. I was as boring as it gets. I got a new laptop recently and decided to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I am really enjoying it, but it is a bit too recent for me to swear by it.
