What’s up with filtering of clearly low effort AI posts here? Every now and then I see this crap here. And people even engage into discussion. This is ridiculo

https://github.com/apresmoi/glyphcss https://github.com/apresmoi/glyphcss I wouldn't call it low effort ... seems to be done over the course of months. I agree it's absurd that those 4 commits started this morning projects that get huge hype and screaming fanboys, but I don't think this is that.

  > I agree it's absurd that those 4 commits started this morning projects that get huge hype and screaming fanboys, but I don't think this is that. Is that what I'm doing wrong? If I start a new project this morning, push about four commits to it, and bang it up on here, it'll go to the front page? I'd love for anything I've done to get that much traction ;-)

    The only consistent things I've heard is volume. You gotta effectively spam and some things stick. It also has to be cognitively stupid to understand - the least amount of knowledge or suppositions required. I've found myself on the front page maybe 5 times... Someone else posted my stuff. I find the algo game to be morally repugnant so I don't play it. I just build things and hope they're useful to the right audiences

It pairs well with a 3d splatting story in the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48618481 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48618481 despite the slop

I was gonna say that this kind of thing is a big yawn in the age of asking an LLM to do something like this. I think it would have been interesting if the author had gone a bit further and made it a useful command line tool for something. I'm impressed by demos to the extent that they show skill. I'm impressed by tools to the extent that they show an understanding of the process. I'm not sure whether this accomplishes either.
