My impostor syndrome suddenly vanished :)
Forgot to put “make sure the project compiles” in his .md files. What an amateur.
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.
It’s at 9k stars now

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.
Owner does not plan on getting their brain to function properly
Pure gold
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.
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
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 pullcommand 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 👍
Everyone’s talking about the different things that give it away and here I am with “WiFi dense human pose…” wtf
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
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.
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
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…
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
