I'd be curious to see a blog post or something with the details.

I feel like we need an acronym for this kind of comment. I am pretty sure approximately 100% of HN posts now include at least one comment where someone, somehow, knows that an article is written by AI and resents it.

For Claude we have the ever present "you are absolutely right" and this is like it's human mirror.

Something like TLDR; but meaning "uhg, written by AI".


This article is a brilliant skewering of the 'em dash means LLM' heuristic as a broken trick deployed by those too-clever-by-half.

Thank you for this. This is like finding a book where someone has written down what I've been thinking, but better than I ever could.

In fairness it's more than the em dash with this article. Read the first 3 bullet points.

AI;DR

We don't need an acronym; people just need to stop posting these utterly worthless comments.

I'm sure it's me being an idiot, but once again I spent 20m trying to figure how to do a specific thing in google-land and still haven't figured it out. Even if I did set it somewhere, I see things like "Setting a budget does not cap resource or API consumption" with a link to a bunch of documentation I have to analyze.

This is what working with cloud services is like, in my experience. Azure's UI feels like it was made as a joke flash game on Newgrounds.

I thought my claude.md file mostly did this.

It mostly does, if you write it well, but it’s less efficient than XML, you have to write it by hand, and there’s no way to “validate” that it’s any good.

This is basically a structured, efficient version of claude.md.

I can't keep up with how fast things are changing. I built this to scan my AI dev sessions chats, search various places I frequent, and recommend tooling, libraries and all kinds of other things I might want to incorporate into my development practices.

This looks great. How do you compare to cmux?


Even if the cheaps are weak... is the code strong?
