I like the shape of the lowercase italic 'w'!

Pdf preview doesn't work on GitHub.

Code review __and__ testing.

I don't understand why so many people bring up compilers. The reason we don't have to* read the code of compilers or oss libraries is because the developers who created them have reviewed it to ensure that it works. But if you don't review your own code, who will?

* As long as it works

The comments are horrifying. They do everything they can to avoid reading the code they are responsible for.

You must read the code before shipping it to production.

"But I don't have time!" That's not even an excuse. At least one person in your company should be able to explain the code! How would you answer when reviewer asks why did you use this very algorithm?

"We have tests." They could help. But don't rely on them entirely because there's a high possibility that the tests are wrong.

I can't believe how many people proudly admit that they don't read code. I'm not entirely against using LLMs to write or review code, but not even trying to read it should be prohibited. Someone responsible have to review it.

Edit: I know that LLMs are very good at writing code these days. My point is that this is less a matter of quality and more a matter of responsibility.

Isn't this the most basic function of a video player?

They should have refined the site before launching it. CSS were not loading (fixed), images are not loading (not fixed), meaningless cursor changes, buttons were not working...

Also, it's funny that a site with only one chatbot to have this amazing domain.

It doesn't look like any human has reviewed this.

- Retro torus: wrong z index.

- Wireframe globe: Has wrong projection.

- I, Robot polygons: Looks too different from the actual game.

- Wolfenstein raycaster: wasd moves to wrong direction.

- PS1 affine warp: Shows a glitched plane.

- Utah teapot: Also wrong z index, and what is this?? This must be the worst Utah teapot ever created.

- Glenz vectors: Also wrong projection.

- Penrose tiling: Might a nitpick, but why can I drag to pan? It's not like you can zoom.

- Spaghetti vortex: This says it's from 2026, so not a retro? And the thumbnail shows UI(that I can't interact) only.

It makes me sad to see these projects...

Also the descriptions are too vague. For example, what does "GL workstation · 1993" mean? How about "Metaballs · 1995"? "IRIX · 1994"? I tried to find the original renders but I couldn't.

> Also Bend's stars came on the V1 launch. This is V2. It already had 20k before.

This is the reason you should not reomve your commit history. How would anyone know that there were V1, and it was already popular?

If you need to remove sensitive data, you should use tools like git-filter-repo.

About forks alone I get it, but look at their issues.

- fstar: 2K issues, stars-issue ratio: 0.6.

- coalton: 700 issues, ratio: 0.4

- carp: 450 issues, ratio: 0.08

- c3: 1.9K issues. ratio: 0.3

Bend has 300 issues for 20K stars so ratio is about 0.02. Maybe their followers starred the repo as a fan activity? It could explain too many stars and too few forks/issues/prs.

This project's repo has 20K stars with only 500 forks, with less than 300 issues(including closed). Something's not right.

Compared to other programming languages:

- Gleam: 22K stars, 1K forks, 3K issues

- V: 38K stars, 2.3K forks, 11K issues

- Ruby: 23K stars, 5.6 forks, 19K issues

- Zig: 43K stars, 3K forks, 14K issues

It got 16K stars just in 4 months too. https://www.star-history.com/?repos=bendlang%2Fbend

Also how would anyone trust this? I've never seen a programming language that doesn't have 1) changelogs 2) way to download older versions 3) commit history.

I don't understand why the author thought deleting the commit history was a good idea. Imagine seeing this project for the first time. It's a repo with 20K stars, but no commits, and suspiciously few issues and PRs. It doesn't look legitimate.

I'm not familiar with academic procedures, but a pdf on a repo, written by Fable and has no reviews, doesn't seem like a proper 'paper' to me.

Give that Dario is one of the frontiers of LLM development, literally started the LLM race, and have been dominating the market, so he'd be Russia, if we have to use the war analogy.

He took every benefits of being frontiers and now he's kicking the ladder.

It's really frustrating that Dario acts as if he's not the CEO of one of the world's most advanced AI companies. He can just slow down his own company. Of course he doesn't want that. He wants to slow down other companies, but not his own.

Also, regarding the incidents: Neither he nor Sam Altman takes responsibility for those incidents. You can't say, "Wow, someone's agent is gone rogue; let's slow down" when you are literally the person in charge. CEOs and researchers will only slow down when they realize that they will face consequences if their LLMs misbehave.

I can't stop thinking that these use cases aren't real, and OpenAI is just gaslighting people. Humans don't need AI for these trivial things.

This ad feels like a science fiction, where humans can't do anything without the help of their AI assistants.

You can read these two articles instead of an article written solely by a LLM.

- https://www.mathpuzzle.com/MAA/41-Sudoku%20Variations/mathga...

- https://www.nikoli.co.jp/en/puzzles/sudoku/

All examples run terribly, like 20fps on m4 pro. Also, examples:

- Liquid metal. I don't understand what this is but this is definately _not_ how 'liquid metal' would look like. Also stickers glitches on edge.

- watercolor. Looks like its blending uses RGB?

- ASCII. not even ASCII. Also why does this run terribly? It's just a simple 3d model with a shader, it should run 1000+fps.

- Bricks. This looks fine. not impressive though.

- Shaders. Refraction shader.

I don't trust someone who says their tool can generate ASCII art renderer without knowing what even ASCII is.

I thought too long to find out what a means in a new runtime.

Iku is kinda irregular but it's only itte and itta instead of ite/ita. Also aru/nai is more like antonyms rather than conjugation?

Categorizing Japanese verbs as -ru or -u requires more context.

I prefer the term "group 2 verbs" to "-ru verbs." Group 2 verbs are verbs that end in -eru or -iru, not just -ru. Of course there are some exceptions, like kaeru, which ends in -eru but is actually a -u verb. Conjugation is easy: remove the final -ru and append -masu, -mashita, etc.

"Group 1 verbs" (again, -u verbs) are verbs that are not group 2 verbs. Conjugation is a bit more difficult because the -nu, -bu, -mu, and -u verbs have many suffixes. However, after memorizing these two (-nbmu and -u, because -nu, -bu, and -mu are almost the same), the rest are easy.

There are only two irregular verbs: kuru and suru. Just memorize them.

I learned Japanese by just memorizing. Once you have memorized enough verbs and their conjugations, you can figure out the conjugation of a new verb even if you don't understand how it works.

I think they are made by different people/organizations. Chinese colors is by TOTM Tech, which sells various (pretty obviously vibe coded) design tools and assets. OP doesn't sell anything so I don't think they are related.

> MMXXVI

That too. LLMs love to writing year in roman numeral. https://github.com/search?q=%22%C2%B7+MMXXVI%22&type=code There are 2.8k of these in github.

> the same color today

Looks liks Chinese colors always show that color in Hero section? It's coincidence I think.

I wanted to check if the information on this page was correct. I started searching and found this site [0], which looks very similar. I thought it was made by the same person, but it's not. It's just another website designed using LLM.

One advantage of LLM is that you can quickly and easily generate a "pretty decent" website. However, there is a drawback, that there is a high chance that a page with a very similar design(and similar idea) already exists somewhere.

People should know that most of the Mac examples shown in the article are regressions that happened in Tahoe.

- Sequoia's Notes had perfect sliding animation.

- Safari's URL bar seemed the same. (Though I think it's more a placement issue, not animation issue. They could just put a placeholder at the end of the bar, not at the center.)

- 'Save as' dialog had a problems with sidebar, but not janky as much as Tahoe's.

- Zooming in preview app worked fine.

Looks clean and works fine, but it needs optimization. Clicking "Type" in the "schema builder" example takes 1~2 seconds to open the popover in the landing page(macbook pro m4). I think its because there are lots of heavy components, but still it's too slow.

Header layout breaks on ipad. haha...

I kind of get that a device named BOMB made the plane turn back.

However, I don't understand this part:

> flight attendant told passengers over the PA system that they "must turn off Bluetooth immediately," or else the aircraft would have to turn around.

If there's a BOMB, turning off Bluetooth won't make it much safer. I mean, a turned-off bomb is probably safer than a turned-on bomb, but it's still a bomb.

Pilots: "Phew, BOMB is now turned off. It's absolutely safe to continue flying. Thank you for your cooperation, passengers and terrorist(s)."

Title says

> back to writing code by hand

But what they are doing is

> doing the __design work__ myself, by hand, before any code gets written.

So... Claude still is generating the code I guess?

And seriously, I can't understand that they thought their vibe coded project works fine and even bought a domain for the project without ever looking at source code it generated, FOR 7 MONTHS??

Seems right. This site uses `React Simple Maps` library with `Natural Earth` map data. Natural earth marks crimea Russian territory[0] in their "default" map data.

> There was only one small issue: it was written in the programming language and with the library it had been told not to use. This was not hidden from it. It had been documented clearly, repeatedly, and in detail. What a human thing to do.

"Ignoring" instructions is not human thing. It's a bad LLM thing. Or just LLM thing.

It's a little unfair to Figma when its moralless competitor is ignoring every copyright laws.

> “Unfortunately, a lot of the internet is manipulation … Everything on the internet is fake. One thing that we always say is all opinions are formed in the TikTok comments,” Chaotic Good co-founder Jesse Coren noted.

Why is this guy talking like this? YOU are literally co-making internet full of fake!

It's worse if you read the context[0]:

Interviewer: What would you say to someone who’s freaked out by these ideas that we are talking about — who feels like they’re being manipulated by artists and marketers online?

Coren: Unfortunately, a lot of the internet is manipulation. Andrew(Chaotic Good co-founder) would always say everything on the internet is fake. All opinions are formed in the TikTok comments — which is a reminder to us of what we can help with. I don’t know if this will make anyone feel better, but a lot of what we do on the narrative side is controlling the discourse. Most people see a video or something about an album that came out, and that first comment they see becomes their opinion, even when they haven’t heard the whole album. It’s really important for us to make sure we’re ahead of it and controlling that narrative in the direction we want.
