Privacy-First: No cameras required - uses WiFi signals for pose detection

That's not how privacy works.

    We won't film you having sex, we will just know that you are having sex, at what time and whether if on the bed or on the kitchen counter. Oh and we can also map the positions you prefer but that is fine.

    I have a visceral "AI" sensor that triggers when I see these:

    "Rust Implementation (v2)"

    "Performance Benchmarks (Validated)"

    Human beings don't self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.

    You generate code, there's a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:

    *** Fix build issue ***

    *** End fix ***

    and then call it "Version 2 (Validated)".

    Sometimes it's more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding "confirmed", "working", "validated".

    My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it's shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

    If a bunch of the emoji don't even make sense it can get in the bin.

    Ahhh idk, I saw a lot of genuine repos do emojis, at least for headings. Even before LLMs.

    I like them 'cause with the right amount, it makes a README easier to parse when quickly scrolling over it.

    I like putting the little pictures in my readmes sometimes. In my biologically generated repositories. Please don't discriminate against neat little pictures you can just put in text 🐑.

    I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:

    • refactor the sproingy widget
    • refactor the sproingy widget v2
    • refactor the sproingy widget working
    • maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
    • ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
    • fix formatting of sproingy widget

    And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time

    Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.

    This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.

    I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.

    I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it's all bullshit.

    It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.

    That's absolutely awesome!

    I'm gonna start referring to this as 'smelling AI slop'

    You got the sense to sniff it out, even without programming experience. And that's a damn good sense to have these days 👍

    I mean well before AI, it was pretty common that a GitHub repo wouldn't compile.

    Performance Benchmarks (Validated) yup, 100% totally validated. It's like when you buy something thats wayy too cheap for what it should be off of Temu and it shows up with a QC and Validation card that they clearly just print on a large sheet and cut down that says QC OK

    You can track/identify people in range of a wifi router based on how the wifi signal is disrupted.

    I believe that the original people claimed you could ID individual people using their approach, but I suspect that's under ideal conditions and/or with some training against individual people.

    And this is why I come up with stupid concepts like this, coding without numbers, just to fuck up artificial intelligence...

    To be honest, I don't think that changes anything. Once you got the relation Z = 0, O = 1, etc., or whatever symbol you represent "1", "2", etc., you just have to do algebra.

    Also, how is AI gonna interpret such code without running it first?

    Its kinda easy for human eyes to see what I did, but how is AI gonna comprehend what letter equals what number?

    It doesn't comprehend anything. That's the damn point.

    Though it WILL "understand" what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you're really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.

    Exactly. But it totally throws off AI..

    I've got a more extended version I'm still casually working on when I get bored, which includes ELRUIYDAMB

    Care to guess what those letters mean numerically?

    I'll drop a clue, B=Billion

    It is true when the repo is of consequence. Repos with ~20K stars generally have ~1000 open issues. But I assume even if not bots, people starring this could be trigger happy from AI coding and star everything that is related to vibe coding.

    "In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, I'm constantly finding new ways to harness the power of technology. One of the most captivating aspects of AI models like GPT is their ability to "hallucinate" – generating completely new ideas and concepts that go beyond mere data processing. This capability underscores AI's potential to create, not just analyze."

    First time I am seeing someone sell hallucination as a "feature not a bug"

    GitHub could ban a lot of bots of they took a close look at that repo and who starred it. Bet they will. Mmhmm. Yup. Any time now.

    I totally believe it's ready for production at Microslop Corporation. They need a larger % of code written by AI, of course.

    How many routers are required for this? I see it mentions that they should overlap, and there's a diagram that seems to imply 3 routers, but I'm not seeing it saying what the minimum is or if more makes a difference.
