Welp, no longer using the work wifi.
Forgot to put "make sure the project compiles" in his .md files. What an amateur.
My impostor syndrome suddenly vanished :)
Apparently, these stars indicate that this is a good joke.
anyone gonna cop the $1500 hour session for agentic engineering
Privacy-First: No cameras required - uses WiFi signals for pose detection
That's not how privacy works.
Genius
Closed as not planned
so much brainrot they burned themselves on accident
For those wondering, yes, that was a real issue submitted. There are other issues, and they are great.
Pure gold
Owner does not plan on getting their brain to function properly
I have a visceral "AI" sensor that triggers when I see these:
"Rust Implementation (v2)"
"Performance Benchmarks (Validated)"
Human beings don't self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.
You generate code, there's a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:
*** Fix build issue ***
*** End fix ***
and then call it "Version 2 (Validated)".
Sometimes it's more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding "confirmed", "working", "validated".
My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it's shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.
If a bunch of the emoji don't even make sense it can get in the bin.
This comment is so true 🚀🚀🚀

This comment has been confirmed and validated by an actual human being 👍
I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:
- refactor the sproingy widget
- refactor the sproingy widget v2
- refactor the sproingy widget working
- maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
- ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
- fix formatting of sproingy widget
And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time
Why not just edit the YAML directly on the server via a command-line text editor or SSHFS and then push from there when it works?
No the AI would have called it fixed, “production-ready,” committed, and pushed after the first refactor.
Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.
This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.
I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.
Also the repo image

I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it's all bullshit.
It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.
I guess it's reading comprehension. Utter bullshit reeks the same regardless of the field.
That's absolutely awesome!
I'm gonna start referring to this as 'smelling AI slop'
You got the sense to sniff it out, even without programming experience. And that's a damn good sense to have these days 👍
I mean well before AI, it was pretty common that a GitHub repo wouldn't compile.
Maybe it's just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it's gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.
All of YC got bamboozled by this slop.
Throughput metrics
Phase Sanitization 67-85 Melem/s
😆
(Turns out it does exist! But it's just a chemical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melem )
I think it’s meant to be short for Mega-elements, so millions of elements.
Maybe the bot was just being sarcastic
Everyone’s talking about the different things that give it away and here I am with “WiFi dense human pose…” wtf
You can track/identify people in range of a wifi router based on how the wifi signal is disrupted.
I believe that the original people claimed you could ID individual people using their approach, but I suspect that's under ideal conditions and/or with some training against individual people.
And this is why I come up with stupid concepts like this, coding without numbers, just to fuck up artificial intelligence...

Sorry I said it was Friday, it was actually Sunday 🤦♂️
To be honest, I don't think that changes anything. Once you got the relation Z = 0, O = 1, etc., or whatever symbol you represent "1", "2", etc., you just have to do algebra.
Also, how is AI gonna interpret such code without running it first?
Its kinda easy for human eyes to see what I did, but how is AI gonna comprehend what letter equals what number?
It doesn't comprehend anything. That's the damn point.
Though it WILL "understand" what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you're really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.
I don't participate in the slop machine yo. I'm just a regular human goober, just goofing off. I dunno how effective or not it might be, but feel free to do whatever you want, or don't want, with my code.
Here's an update...
Exactly. But it totally throws off AI..
I've got a more extended version I'm still casually working on when I get bored, which includes ELRUIYDAMB
Care to guess what those letters mean numerically?
I'll drop a clue, B=Billion
Performance Benchmarks (Validated) yup, 100% totally validated. It's like when you buy something thats wayy too cheap for what it should be off of Temu and it shows up with a QC and Validation card that they clearly just print on a large sheet and cut down that says QC OK
Oh the fancy ones are separate bits of paper. Mostly they print a qc check with a tick right onto the packaging
"production ready" sure you are
AI Slop code base. Did Microsoft go open source?
Amazing
