Trying to silence someone (“You should have..not commented”) is pretty rude. Seems like the same old story. Rude people defending other rude people so that they can collectively continue to justify their own rudeness.…
Totally agree. I found it insulting.
Thank you for this! I had no idea these roundtables existed. I wish that interviewer would stop interrupting though :s Apart from that this is gold!
I fondly remember getting so stuck in Day of the Tentacle or Grim Fandango not just for days but even giving up for weeks before coming back with fresh motivation! This is the sort of challenge that’s actually rewarding…
If you don’t care about hand-writing a readme, fine nobody is forcing you, but to lie about it is just sad.
Warning for those that care: LLM readme.
My question was rhetorical ;)
For a moment I thought you were saying ipinfo runs example.com. Instead it just seems to be an advert for ipinfo on a post about example.com?
Personally (apparently like you) I didn’t have any desire to re-play the game, but boy was that first play-through enjoyable! They really did well in making you feel the intended vibe with the visuals, sound effects,…
Yeah but it seems to be a losing battle, sadly. Low effort LLM-written content gets upvoted here anyway, despite the writer having little respect for peoples’ time.

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.
> Less is more. Yes, we should all just throw LLM-generated copy out there with minimal effort. Then receive your praise for the effort and care put in XD The fact you’re still trying to defend an indefensible position…
> 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.
Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.
> Your site copy is great to the last drop. It is? It’s just the usual 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 :)
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:…
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 :)
> That's too much effort to decipher a HN post. It would have been less effort than it took you to write this comment. Perhaps next time that you can’t be bothered, just ignore the comment and move on to another thread…
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 ;)
