Wow, what a nothing burger. On Kottke. Pretty cool that she gave it her everything at a mere parent event IMO.

Is this why this is on HN? Genuinely asking.

Expanding on this, Vlad Vexler offers a broader framework here:

His analysis complements the crucial discussions elsewhere in this thread about the economic details (reserve currency risks, the tariff math) and specific geopolitical impacts, by focusing on the political drivers; the nature of post-truth populism, underlying societal weaknesses, the challenge of maintaining civic coherence in the midst of it all, etc.

I wonder which nations are truly "antifragile" to similar takeovers?

The U.S. seems especially vulnerable with its limiting two-party bias, among other factors.

I'd argue that the level of education of the general populace in (still) functioning democratic countries might be the prime mitigation factor.

Based on this, if I were placing bets on prediction markets, I'd wager that e.g. Finland would be among the last to succumb.

Cool, thanks for sharing!

Prototypes unfortunately often stick. IMO refactoring someone else's code is less efficient vs whatever code I wrote myself. I'm pondering net productivity.

Have you personally deployed anything based on agent results (predominantly)? I'm just trying to gauge if the current state ("early days") is actually worth investing time and money in from a professional perspective.

In my experience, hype often precedes actual usefulness by a significant margin.

TL;DR are we there yet?

Swiss https://www.exoscale.com/ also needs an obligatory mention here.

What have you actually built and deployed using this "vibe coding" methodology?

So far, I've mostly seen proof-of-concept applications that might qualify as decent game jam entries - contexts where experimental implementation is expected ("jank allowed").

I'm curious about production applications: Has anyone developed robust, maintainable agent systems using this approach that didn't require significant refactoring or rewrites even?

What's been your experience with its viability in real-world environments beyond prototyping?

Nice, and this doesn't even include non-EU offerings like Switzerland's Exoscale, Proton, etc.

Could also be something as simple as lacking proper hydration.

At that time in 1998 I mostly played Q1/Q2 online and contemporaries wise I preferred Unreal and SiN over HL's single player experience. Also Unreal's graphics were just truly next level on the Voodoo2 vs anything else. HL DM at LAN parties was surprisingly good and a bit overlooked though; the beginning of the game until the dimensional rift was definitely fun. What stood out the most to me was the soldier AI actually. I always felt the series was a bit hyped but I've come around as I returned to the games on my Steam Deck OLED last fall. In retrospect; clearly classics and the high praises were well earned after all. SDOLED apart from actual CRT setup is maybe the perfect way to experience it today IMO.

Of course DOOM is its own thing completely; a timeless distillation of the 80s - the arcade, Super Mario and D&D all astonishingly abstracted into an unreasonably blissful bleeding-edge hellscape; 93 till infinity.

Long live Lord British and the enthusiasts of Brittania. Neat; that said: What's the general hold up with installing Ultima VII through dosbox/-x?

Tangentially; has anyone been using Honeycomb for a while? I'm currently integrating it via open telemetry after learning the hard way that Sentry is overselling their (consistent!) APM capabilities down to the database level. Jaeger and Datadog are not on the table for the pertaining project.

Big fan of Charity and her crew, let's see how Honeycomb fares over time.

It's been in the air; and bittensor, hyperbolic & co have been on some of the angles for a while. Models, by the people and for the people, Wikipedia + "SETI at home" style. Eventually and with pre/training ofc, this will include inference too.

Ideally minimum 30 inch, 16:10 ratio and OLED (I'm not worried about burn-in personally).

I, for one, will welcome our new AGI CEOs

Open weights are nice, but they're just the end product of a black box process (training data, alignment methods, filtering choices, etc).

Like with all of these models, we don't know what's in them.

Turns out MVG as usual went the whole mile explaining the port internals and including captured VGA CRT monitor output :)

Very interesting. If I may ask: how are you handling the correctness issue? What's the workflow there if even able to spot a mishap?

They are in bed with NSA & co the same as OpenAI.

Palantir announced this even officially; partnership with Anthropic and AWS:

I love redis. I'm sure the vector feature vector will turn out great as usual.

So yeah, of course rooting for antirez and his family to get a nice slice of the AI cake!

Why are you bringing up facts? We collectively decided not to speak about these issues again.

Unity moment.

Interesting, I would have assumed any army would have a higher proportion of people on the ADHD spectrum.

Of course tape can't be beat, always great for offline / offsite archival. I was talking about more ergonomic online archiving without including tape robots ;) Even if price per spinning TB didn't fall much since the pandemic started - IIRC I couldn't have bought a 20TB prosumer disk new for ~$300 then.

It's amazing how much cheaper spinning disks have gotten over the years. We should all be archiving more IMO.

How far are we in detecting / localizing mitochondrial dysfunctions? IIRC aside from inflammation that was a potentially common factor between Long Covid, CFS, Lyme etc

Great indie series indeed. I'd just contend that the source material is already dark in context? If only to create contrast to heavenly transcendence?

Bloodborne is another one that plays with surreal gothic verticality in 3D.

More modern / post cyberpunk maybe but would add Infinite Detail by Tim Maughan. I really liked the premise and the organic feel vs a lot of other science fiction.

It's a labour of love - also add Balatro to that list.
