Slop is slop, AI slop < human slop.

All your doing is advertising how much you don’t respect your work or the work of others.

Code is the app, code is the functionality. If the code is crap then so is the functionality.

You’ve made a tool with a loose handle. And axe with a crack in they head. It’s gonna fly off and hurt someone.

Just because you are a crappy programmer doesn’t mean everyone else is.

There is nothing wrong with open source. Your opened source code just sucks.

Idk what to tell you besides to take a long critical look at yourself and your work.

If you can’t write manually and have it not be slop then you can’t program with a LLM effectively.

It doesn’t matter how much instruction you give a LLM it fundamentally cannot evaluate itself. Because to ensure that it’s evaluating correctly either you need to evaluate it or someone else. These are not deterministic machines and will “lie” to reach their goals. And I put that in quotes because it’s not really lying that’s to much personification.

These things are not good for literally anything beyond minor transformation or boilerplate.

Trust me. If you actually spend the time learning to code well written software by hand you will save time and get a better result. LLMs based coding is a anti-pattern.

You’re not getting push back because “programmers a upset their jobs are getting stolen” you’re getting push back because your falling for LLM company propaganda. LLMs just are not there yet.

If more then 20% of your code is written by a LLM your using it wrong.

I’ve read some other comments and wanted to add.

You cannot use a LLM to verify its own work

They have no ability to think. Any intelligence they have is extremely limited. There a mostly automatic copy and paste machines. They pull code from their training data and online and attempt to compose the.

Using a LLM to verify its own work is like asking a criminal to run their own trial.

That’s just now any of this works. I think you should take a step back from the LLM and really start evaluating your work more critically. There is more to software then “it works!”

look I’m all for using LLMs for tedious or straight forward transformations of easily verifiable logic. The issue is they LLMs are sycophantic by nature and we are seeing a lot of newly freed “geniuses” who have promised “no no no. You see! I know the secret to using them for good!”

It’s like the one ring. If you start using it for doing anything beyond reformating, anything that requires critical thinking, you’ve already trapped yourself.

You’ll feel like your work is quality when it isn’t.

Personally I still think the quality of LLM code is crap for pretty much anything. Much better done by a well seasoned developer, which is harder to come by then people think. A LLM can help in some narrow cases but not many.

It’s only optional and configurable if it’s respected. Which often times it’s not due to convention.

And I do already actually, it’s just weird that I have to.

It’s 100% one of those carry overs from earlier days of computing and Linux not having great standards only great conventions. Like /bin vs /usr/bin

Honestly I say just let the user decide what goes in their home directory. I always get annoyed at all the random garbage in there. There should be a specific place that is user owned that isn’t filled with cruft and configuration files

Guys… Youre trying to apply physics/logic to a supposedly all power deity. Just say the world was just created as is last Thursday or something in its current state. Like if your going to make shit up you don’t have to make it so complicated. It’s all BS anyway…

I’ve only ran super small models. I have a cheap gaming laptop with a Nvidia 3060 with like 8gb of vram.

Gemma4 will probably be a good model to try on your hardware

I can run models locally super easy in the CLI with a tool called ollama

“why do you guys do it that way”

“Look because if we don’t sacrifice the goat on Thursday the code breaks, idk what to tell you”

Look, I’d be happy if they just open source the server code. You don’t need to force the fucks to run the damn software. That’s like the worst idea ever.

I use it for tedious transformations or needle ones haystack problems.

They are better at searching for themes or concepts then they are at actually doing any “thinking tasks”. My rule is that if requires a lot of critical thinking then the LLM can do it.

It’s definitely not all they say it is. I think LLMs will fundamentally always have these problems.

I’ve actually had a much better time using it for in line completion as if recent. It’s much better when the scope of the problem it needs to “solve” ( the code it needs to find and compose to complete your line ) is like the Goldilocks zone. And if the answer it gives is bad I just keep typing.

I really hate the way LLM vibe coded slop is written and architecture. To me is clear these things have extremely limited conception. I’ve compared it to essentially ripping out the human language center, giving it a keyboard and asking it to program for you. It’s just no really what it’s good at.

Bro that’s a PRIME sailing planet if I’ve ever seen on.

Earths oceans shores are largely extremely boring linear beaches. Especially along the Atlantic.

This plant would be prime for small cheap hobby costal sailing

It’s all I see slop enthusiasts go off of

As long as I owned the machine and where my brain will live later and have personally verified that it works I’d be down

They are easy and effective

Best way to become biologically immortal is probably to solve aging directly in your own body via some sort of whole body viral gene therapy.

Then your still mortal and can be killed so you can chose when to go.

My person preference for immortality would be some sort of live un-interupted transition from a human brain to a computationally simulated one. Only if I personally own my own infrastructure though. That way I can ensure I don’t get manipulated. Then probably copy my conscious 100x over and spread over geographically. Maybe keep a copy in a extra solar satellite or something.

The biggest problem with this atleast for me is that I see people with decades of experience who still have awful taste.

They ran into an issue, learned either nothing Or the wrong thing from it and moved on.

Oh come on man.
