Projects that spend time on documentation for my robots have shown me they care about my use case!
482.
by jmalicki 7mo ago
At least it saves me from having to generate the docs myself!
483.
by jmalicki 7mo ago
My favorite thing is when some projects now have better documentation in their Claude skills or MCPs than they ever did for users.

I like the term host employee, carrying the LLM parasite as it uses us to embody itself and reproduce into the singularity.

Side effects are bad of course, but anything beyond a straight boolean or equality is bad? `assert(vector.size() < 3)` is ridiculous to you?

I have sometimes found "LARPing job roles" to be useful for expectations for the codebase. Claude is kind of decent at doing "when in Rome" sort of stuff with your codebase, but it's nice to reinforce, and remind it

If you build up and save some of those scripts, skills help Claude remember how and when to use them. Skills are crazy useful to tell Claude how to debug your particular project, especially when you have a library of useful scripts for doin

Mercenary also excludes people do it for funsies and not getting paid.

Your exact post here claiming you can identify AI has all of the hallmarks of the AI detection algorithm you are proposing, in spades. Hence my claim "actual people actually write like that"

Jq is run a ton by AIs, and that is only increasing.

Thank you!

Regardless, published papers aren't an authoritative source of truth. Just a note to your friends "hey I did some cool stuff I want to tell you about!" Sure it's slightly more reviewed than a GitHub repo, but it's

I can forgive vibe code... It needs to execute if it works it's fine. Unedited vibe documentation is unforgivable.

Still, jq is run a whole lot more than it used to be due to coding agents, so every bit helps. The vast majority of Linux kernel performance improvement patches probably have way less of a real world impact than this.

It's not just that - anything working with analog signals benefits hugely from not living inside the complete EM interference nightmare of the computer case.

It's not just x it's y is also something people do! That is possibly one of my personal writing weaknesses that lead my own writing to get flagged as AI. I can admit "it's not just x, it's y" is mediocre writin

There are a ton of people like that, but the LLM house style also exists because a ton of people write that way too. The people falsely accused because they've used em-dashes for 20 years aren't the ones that were functionally ill

That was also before the crazy AI hysteria we have today with the em-dash police everywhere.

Given the way the test was structured it does line up. https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.23674

by jmalicki 7mo ago
The structure of the test was that there was one human and one AI conversation partner, and the rater had to choose which one was which. Given that structure, you can judge from that data point.
501.
by jmalicki 7mo ago
I see AI pass the turning test all the time, since humans are constantly falsely being accused of being an AI. It doesn't mean that AI got good, just that humans are thinking other humans are AI, which is a form of passing the test. Th

People have been killing each other with weapons for as long as they've been around, nuclear weapons shouldn't be anything new.

This is a great real world example of where leetcode is useful.

If they didn't at least cite it, it is complete bullshit. If they cited it, but you feel you deserved more credit than that... I feel you, but it's less clear cut.
505.
by jmalicki 7mo ago
That's what I'm saying - not citing is total bullshit. But if they invited a talk, and published a paper and cited it, it might be a little off, but not horrible.
506.
by jmalicki 7mo ago
If they didn't cite your paper that's bullshit. But if they read your paper enough that they invited you to a talk, that probably means they were far enough along to independently inventing it they were going to do so anyway, and

Microeconometrics tends to be quite rigorous and easy to validate. They won't hold up to physics levels of rigor, of course - probably a bit more at the medical studies level of rigor. David Card, Gary Becker, McFadden, etc. Rigor is a

It would be cheaper. But then you don't get to go on stage with a chainsaw and bragging about how you're downsizing government.

If you only accept PRs that implement working features, i.e. you're not gaming it, then it's the same thing. If you try to come up with an objective definition of working feature you're back to gamability criticism.

Other than possibly proper ABI, and yes a tiny handful of file operations that could theoretically block not available through io_uring, like ioctl and splice, Linux has the rest.
