arikrahman commented on Online astroturfing: A problem beyond disinformation (2022)   journals.sagepub.com/doi/... · Posted by u/xyzal

It feels like "Autonomous Coding Agents" are being astroturfed on the daily on HN. The same arguments and tropes are echoing through every thread.

It's hard to distinguish who's a bot, who's a narrative pusher and who's an enthusiast. Which is exactly what you'd want from an astroturfing campaign. There's a clear benefit: people in the industry are reading this, and in doing so they're granting mindshare.

There's one way that can prevent inauthentic support campaigns - personal key signature. But judging by how afraid people, especially in the US, need to be of their government surveilling them, this isn't going to catch on.

It feels the same way on GitHub trending. I used to check it frequently to see what the hottest newest tech was and stay up to date. Now it's oversaturated by whatever the newest AI bubble is. It also doesn't help that MCP enabled products like OpenClaw star their own repo and artificially inflate their perceived value.

I was going to comment how it might be ironic to call the project evil instead, but remembered that's the name for the vim emulation on emacs.

I'd been using this workflow for a while, but this post I found on HN a couple of weeks ago really solidified it: https://boristane.com/blog/how-i-use-claude-code/

> The workflow I’m going to describe has one core principle: never let Claude write code until you’ve reviewed and approved a written plan. This separation of planning and execution is the single most important thing I do. It prevents wasted effort, keeps me in control of architecture decisions, and produces significantly better results with minimal token usage than jumping straight to code.

Manus workflow uses three file approach via deliverables.md, taskplan.md, and notes.md. I use this combined with VSDD with my agents.

Consent should be treated like a default deny-all ACL.

I would NOT recommend dating apps, you will most likely not find a real connection there and given the circumstances it might give you anxiety you don't need. I have had a similar path and situation lately and some things that have helped me are group activities like playing sports (I play soccer), group gym activities (I attend a strength and conditioning class) and most recently Bible study (I became friends with a Christian group of my area and attend their meetings now). Developing a relationship with God has been a huge upgrade for my life which is hard to put into words, but we also need human contact, and I was praying for that for me last night and this morning before reading this. I will also pray for you to find someone with whom you can share your life forever and never be alone again. If I could only recommend one thing I would say start with exercise, preferably a group. You'd be amazed by how much it can help to cope with loneliness and how much it helps to improve mental health in general. God bless you.

I agree with the Christian group sentinment with certain caveats. They can be clique-y, but if you can find your niche, and it'll be the best time of your life. Also, most "non-denominational" groups do funnel into an ideology, mainly Pentecostal, so be aware about that.

The rabbit hole goes deep, and it will be a fulfilling journey, with all its ups and downs. I won't claim it to be your particular panacea, so I won't force it, and won't judge your response. After all "you know how judgemental christians can be!" - Moral Orel

I have instructed my LLMs to at least provide a comment per function, but prompt it to comment when it takes out things additionally, and why it opted to choose a particular solution. DistroTube also loves declarative literate programming approach, often citing how his one document configuration with nix configures his whole system.

A great addition to the helix workflow, I knew something was missing from the movement -> action approach. This completes the trifecta.

I'm hoping the next decade introduces more declarative workflows with Nix and work with docker to that end.

So when they said Plasma TVs would be the next big thing, this is what they meant. Jolly good show.
