I vibe code little productivity apps that would take me months to make and now I can make them in a few days. But tbh talking to Google's Gemini is like taking to a drunk programmer; while solving one bug it introduces another bug and we fight back and forth until it realizes what and how needs to be fixed.
Windows is so big and dominant, the only way that they can lose market share is to shoot themselves in the foot. And that's exactly what they are doing every now and then. But the question is, when will real Windows apocalypse begin?
Zuck is all in just because of the money and Larry and Google are all in because of the money too but because of the Open Web as well. And Facebook is just another walled garden.
From what I've seen homeless people overdose the most with fentanyl and homelessness level increased during COVID so they were the ones overdosing. Also everybody knows by now that one pill can kill you so that's good enough deterrent.
The opioid epidemic was caused by COVID pandemic and its devastating economic effects and also by cheapness of the fentanyl pills which were going as low as $1 a pop on the streets.
I usually don't comment on stories like this but this guy needs to get a grip. He's constantly hooking up with women who are 40 or 50 years younger than him. C'mon man.
Cloudflare is not for the open internet; they can you kick you out of their service if they don't like you whenever they want, which is fine and legal for that matter or they freaking can have an outage and have your service shut down that way. It's a lose, lose situation. Stay out of Cloudflare, there is nothing good about them.
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft....they literally all have the vibe coded code; it's not about vibe coded or not, it is about how well the code is designed, efficient and bug free. Ofc pro coders can debug it and fix it better than some amateur coder but still LLMs are so valuable. I let Gemini vibe code little web projects for me and it serves me well. Although you have to explain everything step by step to it and sometimes when it fixes one bug, it accidently introduces another. But we fix bugs together and learn together. And btw when Gemini fixes bugs, it puts comments in the code on how the particular bug was fixed.
The guy was running hosting company which sold web domain to the Silk Road guy and then the Russian dude who run BTC-e exchange hacked his exchange(which was by the way sold to him by the Ripple founder). This is like some cheesy crime movie. Tell me about Bitcoin's circular economy and his bad luck or to be more precise incompetence. This guy basically blew away billions of dollars of people's money not knowing what the hell he was actually doing or who he was dealing with.
For the last month or so archive.is is not working for me, is it maybe related to this? Btw I always assumed owner is from Russia because he or they were so secretive about everything except occasional blog post or occasional Q&A and Russians are usually obsessed by their web pet projects.
For real someone needs to make legit business of archiving the web where you would have timestamped hashes of your archived web pages and "unlimited" storage for archiving ofc only if you pay for the "unlimited" storage.
It was caused by unprovoked and illegal invasion of neighbouring country, that's tit for tat. They also seized assets of Nazi Germany when Hitler decided to go full yolo.
They see it as asymmetrical warfare, I know that; but if US would let US cyber criminals steal millions of Russian and Chinese credit cards or some other PII, I would perceive that as distasteful and not as a form of counterintelligence.
Russia in particular is turning the blind eye on en masse cyber crime that is originating from Russia. Russian hackers in the last two decades stole millions of credit cards from US and EU and hacked numerous banks and still the biggest Russian cyber criminals are at large in Russia. Just look at the FBI's top 10 wanted for cyber crime.
At this point it would be better to start building and working on new web video hosting platform than to cry over feature that is most likely never coming back.
I had similar idea of changing my PC's brightness according to the time of the day. It probably could've been implemented pretty easily using Windows API and some little hacking.
Password managers and 2FA mostly solve the problem of credential stuffing but unfortunately millions of people still don't use it. 2FA is actually pretty good unless your account is a high profile account then bad actors might try to SIM swap[0] you and hijack your mobile phone number and essentially bypass 2FA. But there are others ways of 2FA too.
I mean state is probably the better custodian of your money and your interests than the private investors unless you live in a rogue state run by criminals.
Company is owned and run by state and I doubt they would allow themselves to have any shenanigans with their customers. You can always sue them, you can sue private companies too but private ownership is just an extra worry. That's why I also have a bank account at the state owned bank not the private one.
