01:16:06FromDiscord<Emmanuel M. Smith 🔸> I haven't seen that kind of unhinged behaviour in a while. Last time I experienced it the guy went on new medication and it completely changed his personality
01:16:17FromDiscord<Emmanuel M. Smith 🔸> Maybe it's the same here 🤷‍♂️
02:00:41FromDiscord<koaledu> They'll be fine (I hope).

08:54:35FromDiscord<tapeda> "I'm going to spam stoner rap till people use my libraries" seemed like such a high trust, high integrity move tho
08:58:21FromDiscord<tapeda> In reply to @aintea "I love how some": Honestly forgot stars even existed till now, maybe I should go star what I use

09:25:04FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @aintea "I love how some": Also a function of time, Henka's very new.
09:25:30FromDiscord<0ffh> I wonder how many people even know it exists.

10:20:54FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @__jont__ "Don't do drugs kids": He suffers from misattribution fallacy and general's syndrome.↵Somehow him having tokens to burn on swarms of concurrent coding agents makes him think all that is his work (he literally referred to it as such), while he's taking the fundamental design decisions from Araq and leaves the rest to his agents.

12:45:06FromDiscord<Emmanuel M. Smith 🔸> And here I previously thought that term was overly hyperbolic 😂↵(@DetermiedNim1)
13:23:31FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> In reply to @0ffh "https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.14807": I'm under the impression that this is not unique to LLMs
13:23:55FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> or generative tools more broadly
13:25:05FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> (insert obligatory dunning-krueger mention)
13:32:16FromDiscord<tapeda> What raised my eyebrow for classic dunning-kruger was posting some hefty ide tooling w/json and python on the forum, a day later `nim track` coming out and thr forum post disappeared and a new one came up by the same guy still hefty but now the llm prose in the readme kept mentioning `based on nim track`.... Like a puppy, very eager, very senseless
13:39:26FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> sent a long message, see https://pasty.ee/dctQtFon
13:39:42FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> people like seeing things done, it turns out
13:40:49FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I'm soldiering on a project using an LLM and everyone cheered me on anyway (at this time, at least) because they see things getting done
13:41:09FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> (edit) "I'm soldiering on a project using an LLM and everyone cheered me on anyway (at this time, at least) because they see things getting done ... " added "more than "it's not really you who's doing it""
13:42:00FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> but I am willing to admit things that I've done "not by my hand"
13:42:11FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> (edit) "done" => ""done""
13:42:37FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "there is a sense": When I let an LLM do something on serious code (as opposed to little command line utilities and such that really don't need much design work) I literally spend more time conversing with the thing, hammering out what exactly I want done and how, than it needs to modify the code.
13:43:01FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> That's often the case for me as well
13:43:30FromDiscord<0ffh> The opposite is: Write a couple of lines of prompt and let and agent with 8 subagents hammer away at it for eight hours.
13:44:06FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> it's like↵I have the brainpower to think of the architecture and know how it's gonna be done↵but then I have to spare the brainpower to make it real
13:44:27*beholders_eye joined #nim
13:44:44FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I could substitute that latter part to an LLM and run into what actually doesn't work
13:44:51FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> (edit) "I could substitute that latter part to an LLM and run ... into" added "faster"
13:45:05FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> that whole point about faster iterations
13:46:14FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> Or maybe when thinking up the design I can have one /grill-me and make me specify exactly what I want
13:46:42FromDiscord<0ffh> Oh, and sometimes I just thought I made myself clear, and it comes up with some fantastically elaborate bullshit schemes that add 200 lines of totally unnecessary code. 😭
13:46:56FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> yeahhhhhh it can be
13:46:57FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> quite verbose
13:47:02FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> Especially in comments
13:47:14FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> It has to like throw the entire context into the code comments
13:47:36FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> and not particularly in the way I would phrase them as well
13:47:49FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> it often writes these extremely long paragraphs
13:48:03FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> They say it's so the LLM can constantly orient itself? but idk
13:48:44FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "It has to like": Yes, they are now in effect optimized to do just that, because it's the only way that long running agents can keep track of what is going on.
13:49:58FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> A cynic would think it's also optimized to do that because it drains token usage faster making you have to buy more often or something
13:51:14FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I'm not even sure if the summaries and trackers they make are actually on-the-mark
13:51:54FromDiscord<0ffh> Anyways, those kind of experiences make me damn certain I don't want any serious software to be vibe coded in that "fire and forget" sense, because internally it's going to be a horribly convoluted, baroque mess.
13:52:16FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> as if they aren't already pre-LLM age 😏
13:52:28FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "as if they aren't": Sad but true
13:52:41FromDiscord<0ffh> But mostly big-corpo code
13:52:46FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I always have thought AI slop is due to its training inputs already being slop
13:53:06FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> it's exactly like stack overflow
13:53:07FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "I always have thought": That might actually be at least partially true.
13:53:50FromDiscord<0ffh> I'm sure there's plenty of corpo-slop code in it's training data.↵Another reason to avoid corpo-slop languages like Java.
13:55:53FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> i mean there's plenty of github slop
13:57:33FromDiscord<0ffh> Or JS code that is 60% cut-and-paste snippets from StackOverflow.
13:58:54FromDiscord<0ffh> I think some curious researcher found dozens and hundreds of repositories with the same incorrect code.
13:59:10FromDiscord<0ffh> I shiver
13:59:39FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> it's like a playground rumor
13:59:51FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> that spiraled into a folk tale
