yeah, and I disagree. People have different opinions on this. A 1M LoC slop project is an extreme that is not representative of what shows up here.

the post is not about this 1M LoC project, it’s about creating a ban for whatever the mods decide it’s slop

Let people choose what they want to see.

People here tend to call any hint of LLM use “slop”, and arguing on a threshold is a waste of everyone’s time that will end up disappointing most. Tag it and let people choose.

I don’t know you, but it doesn’t sound like a high standards issue to me, sounds like a lack of process. I’ve been a thorough reviewer before AI, at least thorough in the ways that mattered, not nitpicking formatting. And I’ll tell you an automated reviewer today can catch more things before I have time to confirm the first item I find. There are still false positives, but it’s still more thorough than I have time to be. Bc of that it really helps including a round of automated review before looping in a human, regardless of who/what wrote the code.

The main kind of review problems AI still struggles with are the project direction ones: “does it make sense to implement this/like this?”, “should this be a new package instead?”, and things involving tacit knowledge that often goes undocumented “last time we did this, someone had to access prod on a Sunday” - so that’s what I focus my reviews on. And the other area is if you’re writing UI code, whether it’s a web app or a game, it’ll also struggle to determine what “feels” good to use, so it’ll need a human earlier in the loop.

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 13 Sep 2026
This kind of specification applies to the agent behavior or the agent behavior in a project. You don’t write it on every conversation, you write/review it once for the project or agent and let the harness include it on every conversation. You can even ask the agent to scan the codebase and pull desirable patterns out of it for future sessions.

The entire point of using an agent is to not have to write everything yourself, so that when you write “implement feature X”, the feature gets implemented in a way that makes sense in that project, is reviewed, refactored, and tested by agents, and it’s good enough to bring in a human reviewer.

See, that’s the issue. People letting it “drive itself” get worse results. You should be the one holding the standards and guiding the model, otherwise you will be frustrated.

on Stop Doing Swap Partitions in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
My honest opinion is that it’s bad because a lot of people using LLMs have no standards and push the first thing that seems to work. Be mad at who’s at the driving wheel, not the car.

You absolutely can generate crap with agents/LLMs, and like a humans writing, the first draft will probably be subpar or maybe complete garbage. Every new session is a clean slate, that’s why putting effort in the documents guiding it is so important.

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
I don’t think there was a lot of people working on the rewrite. Most PRs are from bots. Original estimates for a manual rewrite were a small team working for a year or so, which puts total costs over $1M. Even doubling the token cost estimates, it was still cheaper than doing it manually by a factor of 2x-3x

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
I’ve seen plenty of code in my life, from humans and AI.

For the past year or so, these agents can code just fine most of the time, as long as they are given enough context (or have the tools to get it). Regardless of how many downvotes I get here, they really are capable of generating decent code. I’m sorry you couldn’t make it work yet.

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
It was higher sure, but anthropic also has some of the most expensive models out there. That cost could be 5x-10x less just by going with cheaper model providers (if one were to pay the API costs, not the case for bun).

bun 1.4 was released 3 weeks ago, btw

You might be a few years behind. We have robots outpacing human performance in specific tasks using neural networks.

Also, LLMs can perform on tasks they weren’t explicitly trained for. This line is not as well defined as you make it sound.

on Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
Unpopular opinion, but most of that is duplicated information that makes sense to be duplicated because I’m not a machine that can scan the whole page and instantly get what I need.

Top right are action buttons, fork and stars on the center right let you see who else starred and forked the repo.

License information just makes sense to be in a repo summary, and it just happens that most license files are at the root and visible in the file tree.

I don’t see the top level stuff, you probably see that because you’re not authenticated, so github tries to “sell” itself for you.

I agree “releases” should be at the top though (it used to, and I use GitHub refined to bring it back), but having the latest one at a glance is nice and saved me a click many times.

No point in messing with swappiness settings, trust me. You want to address the reason this happens in the first place, not disable or reduce swap.

I’ve had a nearly identical scenario at work. The reason? A data verification process that went through 100s of thousands of files to run their checksums and check integrity. This was working as intended, but the system alerts were firing because of that high buffer/cache utilization. So check which processes have highest IO and you might find the answer. Swap is just a side effect.

For most things. The only exception I see is if you have really over dimensioned memory, or have a very predictable load so that having the extra reclaimable space won’t make a difference.

I’ll second the other comment,. Establish and end to end encrypted backup of all data you plan to encrypt at rest first - at least the parts you really care about not losing. Ideally a “3-2-1” setting. Test the backup. Then look for encrypting your local working copy at rest.

yeah, swap is definitely still useful and it gets used by the kernel well before the main memory is full

on You have lost CPU time privileges in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
it’s not, because it takes swap usage into account, so you can benefit from swap without risking a frozen system
