There is nothing physics/metaphysics about this. If you don’t understand the terms, don’t pretend you do and write slop as a comment, it is really not that different from using LLM to generate slop.

by danieltanfh95 4mo ago
This isn’t about whether the writer uses LLM or not at all, nor is it about respect. The core novelty it tries to introduce is not hard to understand (even if it is not really that novel). If you don’t want to spend time thinking about what

As I understand it, content addressing function content is problematic because it does not actually "normalise" the content of functions into something interchangeable. A function of input A and output B with performance signature

The article is a farce. Is this really the sort of slop we want to use as a proof that humans write better articles than AI? > "If a company builds a machine that, when fed descriptions of assorted ethical dilemmas, emits sentences

Not all bots are bad, and the economic incentive of playing nice in a long lived session bot is much more stronger otherwise, which is kind of the point. It is the same with humans.

It is really not that difficult. 1. For juniors, any sort of proof you have passion is enough. 2. Treat mid-levels as seniors. 3. Seniors have to show proof of passion (with longevity and intensity, AI and consultants exist for expertise a

This is why we need interviews to filter off people who are bad enough to think "bar exam" is the right abstraction for software engineer.

by danieltanfh95 5mo ago
The real solution is stop proposing solutions like a bar exam. Software engineering evolves too quickly for anything but a work sample to work.

It heavily discourages bot farming, which is what makes bots economical.

This is pretty much my writing with some edits around content I wanted to simplify. The article linked is not the same content at all. Not only does it only focus on the American perspective, it proposes the opposite of what I was trying to

People claimed I was writing a propaganda piece apparently, when I note that this was a failure of losing empiricism and pragmatism that America had, as a philosophy since 1878 that propagated into the New Deal, because of the Soviet threat

The counterfactual was not to imprison him in the first place. That was what the orignal article : https://danieltan.weblog.lol/2026/05/americas-greatest-strat... is about. Qian was widely considered as a "st

I considered against publishing this piece because it could be taken as propaganda. But America did derive the same idea, back in 1878 and was part of philosophy behind the New Deal. So what do Americans have to be sour about and call it pr

I don't really think there's a tangential detail that is related to the message. Which one are you referring to? Also, the upbeat and persuasive style ... is my style kek, is it me being too pushy or?

Unfortunately there is too much detail here for me to write more candidly.

Make your customer, sales and product team prototype their idea with ai directly against the codebase or website before handing it to the dev team to filter off inconsistencies. Reduces communication costs.

Really it was not the issue that Opus could not do all these, there was just no incentive to fix bugs. Mythos represented a real marketing use case, so yes thanks for spending money to fix this, but this is not sustainable.

Really the problem boils down to: “I don’t want to maintain a custom fork with my fix” - valid sure, if you are not sure if your fix is the best solution for it, and would like the general community to comment (i think the problem here is t
