I run a loop where I have 4 agents review in parallel after each implementation phase. It just increases the odds of finding issues.

I've switched this over to a team of 4 now that talk to each other to discuss issues they find and it's amazing. They confirm between themselves and if they wrongly identified something the others correct them.


So, the answer is yes, a single agent makes too many mistakes and you have to run four of them (4x usage cost) to improve the quality.

I understand that it works better, but I am rightfully pointing out that it's less efficient.

An analogy would be putting a V8 engine into a pickup truck to make it go as fast as a Mazda Miata.


Oh god am I glad to read this. Thought it was my microphone or something.

AI slop commenter account above

A few more years and some more ram on these earbuds and we'll be able to run some nice local earbud kubernetes clusters


Is there any way to report AI slop accounts on HN? This entire account is generic AI slop comments.


I agree. Report it via email hn@ycombinator.com to @dang.


You guys don't have any other problems than looking for AI slops in every message on HN?


Why do you think I am an AI slop? If you don't like my opinion , it doesn't mean I am AI.


The issue is not about liking your opinion. It's about use of AI to produce an opinion.


I might be behind on modern tech, but what exactly gives me away as AI? I’m genuinely curious.


Don't tell it.


I've always dual booted windows with some Linux and used it like 90/10.

I haven't even tried windows 11 even though my PC is compatible.

Went full Linux and I'm not sure what I was missing at this point that I needed from Windows.

Ran Pop OS (cosmic) which is the new Wayland based one but unfortunately it's still buggy and then I switched to a gaming focused Linux called Bazzite which has been perfect.

Tiny learning curve because it's an "immutable" OS but have everything I need running on it plus everything gaming related works out of the box.


I’m really hoping Steam Deck keeps on pushing game makers to support Linux. It’s really gotten a lot better, except for competitive games that need most types of anti-cheat.

If Linux supported all the games I wanted to play, I would ditch Windows on my home PC.


I mean marriage is a global concept but it feels like the US makes a huge deal about it.

Like two people can't be together without being married.

But mostly it's a low effort low with quality comment that adds zero value and implicitly passes judgment on those who are not married and don't have kids.

As if married people with kids are the happiest people in the world lol.


> I mean marriage is a global concept but it feels like the US makes a huge deal about it.

I should have made that part clearer but my comment was solely on the kids part of their statement. I don't think marriage is inherently different from any other long-term partnership when it comes "existentially starving".

> As if married people with kids are the happiest people in the world lol.

That's not what I meant at all. The article is about how burnout is a catchall that hides that at our core we actually struggle for meaning. "When facing the existential vacuum, there's only one way out - up, towards your highest purpose". Children do in a lot of way give meaning to your life, suddenly you have a reason for suffering. It's a hell of a stretch to call that happiness, but it's definitely something.


Kids with two parents are far less likely to get into crime and have mental health problems, so there is that.

(Before anyone gets onto me I lived in a single parent household for years.)


Unfair or not, same thing for me.

Then I'm not even focused on the content more than I'm scanning through it for signs of AI slop writing so I don't have to waste brainpower consuming that which took no brainpower to produce.

Also unfair perhaps but I think writers in particular, like the author of this post, should be aware enough of the patterns of AI written slop to consciously avoid them nowadays.

It doesn't matter if you used to write like this, the reality is people will question you now if you do.


Never heard of graphite before today. Were they built specifically for AI code reviews or it's a pivot / new feature from a company that started with something else?


No, they've been doing "managing stacks of dependent pull requests" for a lot longer than AI code review. I've mostly been a happy user, they simplify a lot of the git pain of continually rebasing and the UI makes stacks much easier to work with than Github's own interface.


They started as a better PR review tool, with the main feature that you can stack PRs that have dependencies on each other. It solves the problem of having PRs merging into other PR branches, or having notes not to merge something until another PR merges. Recently they became an AI code review tool, and just added a bunch of AI tools to the review UI, but you could just ignore it and the core functionality was still great.


Agreed on Bryan Johnson. Before I actually watched a bit of his content, I just thought he had nutjob vibes and looked weird. No offense intended, if possible.

But honestly he just seems like a guy enjoying a fun project. He seems calm and happy in his videos.

Barring any hidden issues with chronic depression, it would be unlikely that he's unhappy. He's very well off financially, has a nice beautiful girlfriend who's with him in his journey, he sleeps a ton, works out, eats well and in general experiments with life.


Agreed! In the Lex Fridman podcast from a few years ago that I referenced, he talked quite a bit about his depression - he was near suicidal for 13 years, IIRC.

He sounds like a different person now.
