The slop machine is stupidly easy to use. Recently switched jobs and got to use Claude Code for the first time. Literally just talk to it. There's nothing to learn.

How so? We already have digital ID in Norway. How does providing that information to American corporations further Norway's surveillance goals?

You review code not to verify the actual output of the code, but the code itself. For bugs, for maintainability. Commit hygiene is part of that.


Have you considered just doing hyposensibilization therapy? No reason to go the way of surgery before trying that. Worked wonders for me and my array of allergies, dust mites among them.


(one who recommended surgery here)

I tried hyposensibilization therapy, and while it worked for seasonal birch pollen issues, it didn't work for dust mites, oral allergies, and chronically stuffed sinuses.


Prevent pasting comments. Implement a naive check for time spent typing the comment, and shadowban posts that don't pass the criteria. Add a 1 minute wait and captcha for posting.

That'd drastically reduce the amount of low effort posts, both human-written and generated.


Preventing pasting would drastically reduce how often people cite their sources; no one wants to hand copy a long url.


I've been working on this tool to address this same issue in other communities: https://www.ityped.it/

It's certainly not perfect, but similar to what you mention.

Have the output of the LLM sent to a headless browser that "types" and submits the comment as necessary, with some randomness added for authenticity.

Or, since this would need to be done in javascript, just block or rewrite the javascript and fake the output in the sent request.

Simplistic solutions like this stopped being meaningful decades ago.


Well, the map obviously does a lot of extrapolation. Look at Norway, for example. The bigger cities pollute the air in a 50km radius? In a country where heating is primarily electric? When Berlin and Paris don't seem to affect the air quality 20km away, despite having ten times the population?


Which branch your work was done on is noise, not signal. There is absolutely zero signal lost by rebasing, and it prunes a lot of noise. If your branch somehow carries information, that information should be in your commit message.


I disagree, without this info, I can't easily tell if any commit is part of a feature or is a simple hotfix. I need to rely on the commiter to include the info in the commit message, which is almost always not the case.


But you are still relying on them to name the branch in such a way it encodes that info. It is unclear why this is superior to messages in commits.


It's worse than that: the branch name is lost after a merge. That "merge branch xyz" is simply the default commit message. So it doesn't matter what you do, commit messages are all you have!


Nothing stops you from doing both renade and merge commits.

Except perhaps crappy gui options in GitHub. I really wish they added that option as a button.


How would you measure time going backwards if you can only perceive it going forwards? How can you "experience" everything around you going "backwards" if that includes your memory? How can you determine that a specific moment in time was arrived at by time going forward, or by going backwards?


>does it make sense to ask how something created after its emission could affect its path

The problem here is likely the concept of "after". It's relativity; what's "after" in our frame of reference isn't after in all frames of reference.


Another human being doesn't scare me, because they will think like a human, consider themselves human, and relate to humans.

A thinking machine is a total unknown. If human intelligence and machine intelligence are not aligned, then what?
