This may well be very useful, but Claude has ruined me and I have a visceral reaction to ‘gates’ in the opening sentence and couldn’t get any further. If a tool is worth building and sharing, surely it’s also worth writing a brief summary of what it’s supposed to achieve in your own words?

The sentence is near incomprehensible without knowledge of the Claudish robolect. (Here I made up a word. Hopefully its comprehensibility isn't gated too much on language nerdery.)

I will add Claudish robolect into my language immediately, thank you.

It's particularly load-bearing to a non-native English speaker such as me.

It looks a lot like English, but it doesn't have the same rhythm human English has. It's as if a human tried and failed to be concise.

		As a native English speaker, I get the same feeling whenever I read press releases and other announcements from executives.

		It's vague puffery that implies depth without nessesarily achieving it. It's a very effective bullshitting technique with most people, which is why we collectively were so impressed with it we sculpted a robot that does it.

"reliability gates agentic analytics" is quite a garden path sentence, at least to the eyes of a non-native speaker.

▲

The more common english term is “held back” instead of gated.

And nvidia probably doesn’t want to say “probabilistic responses including hallucinations preclude reliable ai analytics”

As it is the sentence communicates very little. Things are unreliable for a lot of different reasons. Hardware? Software? Users? Intentional and required use of RNGs? Claude presumes the reader has all the same weights activated.

As a native speaker, I read this as "This controls enabling or disabling of all analytic features used by AI model loops"

Now there are times when I let the model keep its own docs in its own language, for its own future reference; but, it is not intended for human distribution due to its odd selection of words and phrases (aka slop).

I think it's slightly different: Without reliability, agentic analytics is useless.

Or: Agentic analytics is gated on sufficient reliabilty.

Or reallllly short and hard to understand: Reliability gates agentic analytics.

Thank you! After reading the very first line I just had to check the HN comments:

> Agents can retrieve documents and query databases, but reliability gates agentic analytics: a revenue metric answered faster is worth nothing if the number is wrong.

Absolutely no human would ever write this kind of slop. I have no idea what this even means. Is this really the first thing you want users to read?

I wish people would take a fucking minute to at least figure out what their main selling point is and just write it, you know, like we used to.

We cant use single English words in their normal sense now without being told it's Claude?

		More like, sometimes when you publish slop it gets called out as slop.

		Read the rest of the page. This is 100% unedited slop.

i had exactly the same issue. That first sentence triggered the bad experience i had with claude opus 5.0 interactions and i just closed the page immediately.. All of the PRs that I have seen with "gates"... it really impacts me

And yet it still contains what looks like human error, e.g. the "Software Components" table mixed up the columns for the database.

▲

antonvs 34 minutes ago | parent [-]

That's much more like an agent error than a human error.

It's quite common for LLMs to mix up values between columns in a table. It's often referred to as a structural hallucination, since it can happen with all kinds of relationships that form structures, not just columns in a table.

		Hmm, seems their ontology didn't fix this assuming they use it themselves.

Seriously? This is a professional assessment?

> If a tool is worth building and sharing, surely it’s also worth writing a brief summary of what it’s supposed to achieve in your own words?

Next the complaint will be any such description looks like AI slop.

	▲	antonvs 43 minutes ago \| parent \| next [-]
		Yes, it's a professional assessment. This page is 100% unedited slop, and it's unprofessional to publish something like this under the pretense that it's fit for human consumption.
