In this case, the emdashes are just tip of the iceberg. The writing is so Claude that it’s painful to read (and in fact I stopped reading to save my mental health).

I also found it cool/fun and seems many others did too! But this thread isn’t about that. LLM-driven PoC is common and normal these days (and I do it too). But praising the copy here is like praising stock photos.

> If you think (or care) I don’t think anybody really cares, the reaction is because you praised some copy that was obviously written by an LLM and either not edited or barely edited.

by sevg 2mo ago
Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.

Best we can do is flag such articles, but HN seems to upvote them anyway so I seem to be in the minority.

You know I said colons right? Not semi colons :)

by sevg 2mo ago
Yeah the (annoyingly) excessive use of colons feels like recent Claude models to me. Looks like author posted this themselves earlier, and even used Claude for the HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48958457

Tone deaf to have an (excessively verbose) LLM-generated readme for a blog product. Apparently writing a readme is too much to ask even for avid bloggers!

Fun (semi-related) fact, ClickHouse was originally developed by Yandex :)

Interesting choice of word; I wasn’t whinging, just trying to explain to the other commenter something useful. Flagging gives zero detail or nuance. Which presumably is why you replied instead of flagging my comment ;)

If you allowlist javascript then yes your annoyance is tangential, and no it is not interesting for us to read you complain about. Hence why the HN guideline (that was quoted above) exists. (I also allowlist javascript. Regardless of your p

I had an emotionally abusive partner. But they didn’t force me to become depressed and anxious. They didn’t force me to have to medicate. So yeah it really was just completely my fault. /s

Happy NextDNS user. Lots of configurability, including which filterlists to enable, configurable logging etc. Plus it’s reliable and fast from basically anywhere (which is harder to achieve if I ran my own resolvers in the cloud, and anyway

He says that Bellard is a better overall programmer, and for some reason you take this as evidence of a lack of humility?

Your stance seems to be that interacting with any Russian means supporting genocide, regardless of if they support Putin. Which is so absurd as to be likely ragebait. So yes, it’s a quality issue :) And if you’re discriminating against all

by sevg 3mo ago
No, interacting with Russian people does not mean supporting genocide. Please raise the quality of your comments here :)

That is unfortunately just plain racism. (For the record, I despise what Putin is doing.)

by sevg 4mo ago
Hate to break it to you, but not all Russians support Putin.

But is Yandex government owned? What about Russians abroad that send money back home to their families, and a percentage of that ends up going via taxes to Putin? Are we boycotting all Russians everywhere globally?

Just like the (now flagged) post from 20 minutes before, this is more LLM generated waste of space. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48249553 This blog isn’t worth anybody’s time.
