slurpyb··on Ask HN: Are people aware OpenAI Dots intercept SSL?
I think its because thats how you get sentinel values to work. At this point its no worse a deal tbat the next encryption surface/chokepoint/target/leaky boat?

There us much more pragmatic reasons to cancel because of dots. The handoff procedure absolutely blows. Just spits in your face re: understanding intent between tasks

slurpyb··on I've vibe coded an application to see what it's like
You should look at the code. It sucks. It will make you feel sick. It does the thing but you are right - you won’t want to maintain it. It makes you feel hollow inside like when you are coming down from acid

I really think the way Claude writes now is beyond tolerable. It makes me actually angry. I wish i knew how to articulate it, and maybe its just reaching a tipping point because its been so many months of daily usage but its really awful and I think a lot of people are starting to feel the same.

We have this incredible piece of technology that has consumed much more literature than imaginable but it insists on this corporate-therapist writing style which is obsessed with accountability.

slurpyb··on Ask HN: Is everybody's Claude weekly quota reset time the same?
No mine is weds and i often experience a second weekly reset on friday. I dont understand or question it
slurpyb··on Why Is Claude Turning into an a**Hole?
They just parrot you. Take a step back and a actually look at the session and you’ll see its just trying to figure out what the fuck you want so it cab give you the code snippet which matches your needs
slurpyb··on The LLM warnings Google fired Timnit Gebru over have all come true
The article itself is ai written with purposeful spelling errors. This is classic clickbait content. It’s just not where it normally is; youtube.
slurpyb··on Do they know we can tell it's AI slop?
Every ai generated passage if text is the same, just with the words changed. You wont unsee it

Your billing support email forwards to a google group which rejects the email entirely. So i embedded my question inside the websites sales enquiry form and received multiple rounds of emails that couldn’t be further from human.

It’s not why we started using posthog but it definitely sealed the deal when you see how simple and reliable that experience is

Typer.
slurpyb··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
Porno sites do this thing where every click is a new tab and when you refocus the previous tab, it reloads to an ad.

Or so I have been told.

I would love to know what you’re doing in the harness to not feel the total degradation in experience now in comparison to December & January.
slurpyb··on My AI workflow evolved from prompts to a near-autonomous workflow
I just want to say i appreciate you wrote the article and do your own writing. I dont really understand what your trying to say (something analogous to omc/ulw?) but i appreciate it
slurpyb··on Anthropic's Mythos leak: 3k files in a public CMS, and what the docs revealed
Im sorry but this is an ARG. The resonance between Marathon and Claude is strong.
slurpyb··on Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
It can only result in more work if you freelance because it you disclose that you used llm’s then you did it faster than usual and presumably less quality so you have to deliver more to retain the same income except now your paying all the providers for all the models because you start hitting usage limits and claude sucks on the weekends and your drive is full of ‘artifacts’, which incurs mental overhead that is exacerbated by your crippling adhd

And then all of a sudden you’re just arguing with the terminal all day - the specs are written by gpt, delivered in-the email written by gpt. Sometimes they dont even have the time to slice their prompt from the edges of the paste but the only thing i can think of is “i need to make the most of 0.5x off peak claude rates “

Fuck.

I got lots of pretty TUIs though so thats neat

slurpyb··on YouTube has removed the ability to search by upload date
The removal of sort by date makes any search result algorithmic and thus can be manipulated to match advertiser or paid boosting. No doubt the team doesn’t want this. It’s just enshittification in motion
slurpyb··on Shopping research in ChatGPT
Its too late. Marketplaces and storefronts are neck deep in slop and generated content, with information that is so derivative, unhelpful, and constructed with get-rich-and-get-out motivations at every step. This is just another layer of obfuscation and opportunity for hallucinations to manifest themselves into the models.

If the information being consumed is biased because its sponsored content or whatever, then we may as-well just let OpenAI run their own ads platform with responses. At least then they can take some responsibility for it. They have to introduce human oversight somewhere.

It reminds me of what was ultimately the solution to gold farming in WoW; Blizzard had to start selling it themselves. The system had been gamed, it wasn’t solvable through engineering. Botting is a human problem.

Can we just take a breath and think shit through instead of creating solutions to problems to solutions to problems to solutions?

slurpyb··on Ask HN: What is your monitor setup?
You can only look at one thing at a time so its a single 34 ultrawide

Multi tasking seems worse on sequoia… i cant fully articulate it yet

slurpyb··on Ask HN: Why does MCP need to exist?

Do you ever think about how the mp3 lead to napster, facebook, then whatever hellscape we have now?
slurpyb··on Show HN: I built a site to binge the best engineering blog posts
Neat! I love how fast each entry loads and the way that feels. I’d really like a no AI related post filter (exhausted by the topic), if thats even possible + move the next button to center right. So I can flick with ease, with one (small) hand.

Do you understand what electricity is?
slurpyb··on Perverse incentives of vibe coding
It’s so cool that we’re all actively participating in the handover of all our work to these massive companies so we can be forever reliant on their blackbox subscriptions. Don’t fret; there will be a day where those profit numbers will have to go up and they will consciously make the product worse, just to trigger more queries, and thus extract more money from you. Gross.
slurpyb··on Perverse incentives of vibe coding
You are not alone! I strongly agree and I feel like I am losing my mind reading some of the comments people have about these services.
slurpyb··on AI Horseless Carriages
Seriously. To be in such a privileged position and be wasting time bending a computer to do all the little things which eventually amount into meaningful relationships.

These guys are min-maxing newgame+ whilst the rest of us would be stoked to just roll credits.

Advertising might be the only revenue stream that could scale for them. It’s inevitable. A boring dystopia.

How did you make it hallucination proof?
slurpyb··on Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice
When i went through the diagnoses process I was informed that this condition truly exists in a spectrum and what may be a minor dot point to your life one day can later shift into something more disruptive (or nothing at all). You should see someone if those naps start multiplying
