Is any of this real or just juicy vibe coded marketing? The pricing doesn't have any details, which makes me think this is mostly vaporware.

What exactly is the logical fallacy there?

I get that it seems gross that these able-bodied and fertile celebrities can just pay money to get a baby, but I'm at a loss as to how to limit that while giving a path for intended parents that can't have a child to work with a consenting woman to make that happen?

Why is the answer to anything related to women's bodies always to propose controlling what women do with their bodies? If men could rent out their reproductive organs, nobody would say anything about it and there would be very few laws.

Yes it feels gross and exploitative in the worst case, where women in non-US countries are being signed up to carry babies for US intended parents (see Mexico's bustling surrogate industry offering 1/5 the cost of US surrogates, and the selling point is that you never have to talk to them or have a relationship with the woman carrying your child. Gross.)

On the other end of the cost spectrum here's an example of surrogacy that people like the Kardashians and Lady Gaga are using - upwards of $500k for the best you can get [1]

Disclaimer: having a child through surrogacy due to a lack of biological equipment for me and my spouse. I struggled with the ethics and morality of this course for many years, and it was only settled after meeting our surrogate the first time and establishing a great relationship with her.

What do you think is happening?

Apparently most readers have read too much AI output that they don’t recognize a bit of irony as a joke.

At my previous company, a distinguished engineer did this. Used generated slides he hadn't looked at until presenting to the entire staff+ engineer group. The slides weren't good and he mostly ignored them.

Claude models are the ones that need this the most and in my experience with this specific skill only maintain the conciseness for a few turns at most before they completely forget and are back to their unfathomable verbosity. That's with it instructed to use it in my sparse global CLAUDE.md and also manually repeating it regularly during sessions. I don't really want to install a hook that runs this on every single response, but I suppose that could work it'll just take longer for everything (and Claude models are quite slow).

I don't think we can skill our way out of this one.

Yes and the last bit is always mysterious and inscrutable. I have to think way too hard to figure out what the actual problem is. I’ve noticed it does a lot of explaining the mechanics of the problem it found, but almost never explains why it’s important until I ask.

And the worst part is that this little problem will keep sneaking into the context of future sessions, unless you spend the time to fix it. Even if it isn’t important, I’ll sometimes have Claude fix it so it will shut the F up about it going forward.

Too bad Google can’t compete in consumer or professional AI either

They teased it as such. Reckless and stupid political stunt.

What exactly is the concern here by Headway? Are they afraid AI deep fakes will be receiving therapy?

Obviously they are doing data collection and selling training data of emotional conversations to AI labs. But what's their stated justification? I can't figure it out.

You aren't allowed to dismiss vibe coded software based on the slop vibes. It must be well-researched and human reviewed in order to have an opinion.

Many libraries have ebooks. I am familiar with the app Libby in parts of the US.

VS codes preview of markdown files scrolls very poorly on my Mac. It jumps around and scrolls slowly through certain sections.

This made me LOL. They keep trying to fleece us by nerfing functionality and then adding it back next release. It’s an abusive relationship at this point.

This was my reading too. Interesting idea, but it took 10 pages of fluff to get to it and I didn't even believe the final idea when we got there. I started off reading the first part and thought he would get to the part where he realized he was managing context wrong. Never got there, instead he thought it was about the shape of the prompt.

Yes, this was super annoying to read. It was some core ideas and it was expanded into a way too long essay that boiled down to this guy doesn't know how to run agents.

Should he be harassed and deported for this?

Top of the line models still routinely get this wrong. This is just "make no mistakes" with more steps.

There are a lot of missing parts to the story. If we assume the author left out everything that made them look bad, and including only what makes them look good then the result is a very incomplete feeling article.

For example: they asked for guidance and then the very next thing is them being fired. How did they respond to the coworker? Something is off here - the coworker who had messaged him about non-work topics TWO days in a row - then immediately reported him for his reply. What?

It definitely is. I got partway through and then realized it just keeps going without a point. Classic hallmark of AI writing.

My apologies. I was responding to the fact that animals and humans have base instincts that steer us towards bad food choices or over-stimulations. I was considering those instincts as the incentives that can't be changed.

On a macro scale, yes I agree that we should revolt against campaigns designed to exploit our animal nature. However on a personal basis, I do believe we owe it to ourselves to take radical responsibility over our own reactions to those things.

You can't control the incentives, you can only control your reactions to those incentives.

Claude code can output Excalidraw format files which can be imported directly into the webapp. You can MCP it too if you want.

People would struggle to review code in a completely unfamiliar domain or part of the stack even before LLMs.

I noticed that too, I had to re-read it a few times to make sure I was understanding it properly, it seemed so out of place. Then I read the rest of the article and realized this guy has zero perspective on anything.

I see a good case for my company to use Lit for creating complex components such as highly interactive panels/widgets to be shared between React/Angular apps in our large ecosystem. However the decision was: 1. Prefer sharing plain JS/TS over framework code so try that first and 2. if the component is so complex and tricky to get right, it probably needs to be re-implemented in each framework anyways (or some sort of wrapper)

My secondary concern with Lit is the additional complexity of using shadow and light DOM together in long lived React/Angular apps. Adding a new paradigm for 75+ contributors to consider has a high bar for acceptance.

I just evaluated Lit for work and while we didn't go with it, it was very nice. I love the base custom elements API regardless of using Lit or not, turns out that's all you really need to make intricate UIs that feel seamless.

Props to Sean for this post. I have found his writings to be much closer to how I’ve learned to understand my career and companies than many standard reddit/HN posts portray things.

and around and around we'll go again!
