- firef1y1203 5mo agolol sorry i am not a native english speaker and thus i let claude to write a post mortem analysis on what it has done wrong :D
- astro-lizard 5mo agoThis comment is evidence that your write-up would have been just fine and understandable by other humans. Using AI to write your technical writing for you makes me lose trust in what you're saying. No one cares if you're a non-native English speaker, just write.
- duskdozer 5mo agoYour English seems good enough to communicate. I'd encourage you to trust your abilities; any misunderstandings can be clarified with follow-up questions if necessary.
- latentsea 5mo agoMaybe you didn't stop to consider the cognitive load of writing in a second language and how much delegating to AI reduces it.
- duskdozer 5mo agoThis neglects the cognitive load of reading LLM-generated text, which is often overly verbose, awkward, and confusing.
- latentsea 5mo agoWell that's not my problem, that's yours.
- sincerely 5mo agoMe explaining to a teacher why i cheated on the test: well did you stop to consider the cognitive load of doing the problems myself and how much easier it was to cheat?
- latentsea 5mo agoNot even remotely the same situation.
- anuramat 5mo agoThere are actually multiple ways to completely eliminate the cognitive load of any sort of activity, so please, don't settle on half measures
- latentsea 5mo agoTell me one for that specifically, or gtfo.
- xigoi 5mo agoImagine the horror of practicing a skill in order to get better at it!
- latentsea 5mo agoimagine the horror when after practicing the skill diligently for years this cognitive load never reduced beyond 2x ~ 3x that of your native language.
- dvt 5mo agoAt the very least not providing a disclaimer is disrespectful to your readers.
- firef1y1203 5mo agosorry, i will include a disclaimer in the future
- curiousObject 5mo agoIf you use AI to help your writing 1) Let people know that you did that 2) Try to include a link to another page, which shows the prompt and your original version of the writing, even if it is in your native language This will help people understand what you wanted to say. Edit: The fact that you used AI to write your post, when your post is saying that you can’t trust AI to do a good job, is… super ironic lol :)

- altmanaltman 5mo agoHow is it fake if i can read and understand it?
- joquarky 5mo agoYep. A significant portion of the tech industry is rapidly becoming conservative. Maybe even reactionary in some ways. Its so weird to witness. Meanwhile, those who continue to read unprejudiced but with applied critical thinking skills will at least remain in tandem with the red queen.
- NekkoDroid 5mo ago> A significant portion of the tech industry is rapidly becoming conservative. I think it has less to do with being more conservative and more to do with not losing one of the few remaining ways to see the personality of other tech people.
- duskdozer 5mo agoTrue, correlated with the ubiquitous push toward using LLMs everywhere and papering over their faults, hoping that people will ignore the fact that they are ceding more and more control of their lives and freedom to the hyperrich.

- ande-mnoc 5mo ago> virtual signaling We just say random words now?
- potsandpans 5mo agoHmmm here's some proof of an unsubstantiated claim about the ai detection I've been doing. Look at me: I can detect ai, and then I post about it in the comment sections. Here's a website. Hmmm I'm going to flag and down vote posts that don't agree with my opinions that I post on the hn comment section. That's a virtue signal. Edit: What's sad is, dang is going to come comment on this instead of address the bigger convo that nearly every comment section is full of llm accusations and witch-hunts.
- ande-mnoc 5mo agoThey serve as helpful warnings to other readers so they don’t need to waste their time. I’m sure I’m not the only one to appreciate a heads up. Not much we can do here if you think everything is about bragging.
- potsandpans 5mo agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=48104057&goto=item%3Fid%3D48103459%2348104057 https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=48104057&goto=item%3Fi... This is, in the parlance of every day people, fucking insufferable. Tone policing and chastising is worst than the article in question. I would rather read slop then some internet stranger patiently talking down to someone with an air of moral superiority. I think it's funny that this is simply a battle you and those folks above are not going to win.

- onlyrealcuzzo 5mo agoA lot of people write articles, then use an LLM to sum it up. I do that for most of my docs because I ramble. I prefer my rambling, but I think others like the tidied up LLM summary. How does this document score - just wrote it today, used Gemini to sum it up: https://github.com/cuzzo/clear/blob/master/docs/retrospective.md https://github.com/cuzzo/clear/blob/master/docs/retrospectiv...
- dayjaby 5mo agoYou seem to like SQL, don't you? Your README reads a bit fallacious: Just because SQL is a great alive language, it doesn't make your language a great one. I think it's called survivor bias.
- duskdozer 5mo agoI basically don't read anything that looks LLM-generated at this point, so I'd prefer that you included your rambling version alongside if you still want to have a generated version.
- onlyrealcuzzo 5mo agoThe great part about Git History is that the rambling typo filled version is available if you want it! https://github.com/cuzzo/clear/commit/8c8a50f1d2c8fa2e8dca64772fc4757b7ce099d6 https://github.com/cuzzo/clear/commit/8c8a50f1d2c8fa2e8dca64...
- joquarky 5mo agoThere is a subtle hubris in the attempt to wrap reality around one's own preference rather than the one adapting their own perceptions to match reality.
- sshine 5mo agoI do LLM scaffolding, fill in my words, then pass over it manually. On my worst, I rant worse than listening to an LLM. When I make an effort, my personality comes through at no cost to the reader. So far I haven't found a prompt that can impersonate me properly. I'm open to it. Seeding it with a handful of my favorite articles gets me halfway, but the editing is still needed.
