There is no criticism. He did not read the paper.

And someday we will have truly autonomous driving cars, we will cure cancer, and humans will visit Mars.

You can't prompt this today, are you suggesting this might come literally tomorrow? 10 years? 30? At that unknown time will your comment become relevant?

You are essentially making a character attack on anyone who disagrees with this article. You dismiss outright reasonable objections you have not heard and instead you presume fear and loathing are the only possible motivations to disagree.

I do think a huge number of people are infatuated with the idea of programming but hate the act itself. I have tried to teach a lot of people to code and it is rare to find the person who is both enthusiastic and able to maintain motivation once they realize every single character matters and yes, that bracket does have to be closed.

Of course not everyone who programs AI style hate programming, but I do think your take explains a large chunk of zealotry: It has become Us v. Them for both sides and each is staking out their territory. Telling the vibe coder they are not programming hurts their feelings much like telling a senior developer all their accumulated experience and knowledge is useless if not today, for sure some day soon!

You should explain why it is comical to you. I want to know what is funny about the reaction so I can laugh too. I saw some privacy concerns and some UI/UX issues, but I didn't find them very funny.

I have an oled thinkpad running fedora that has never had a sleep issue. Excellent touchpad as well. Thinkpad X1 Carbon.

This is not my experience at all. pihole blocks a massive amount of ads in my home. It is extremely rare that any website ever breaks.

Nasty ad hominem, nice! I guess you have to get good at that when your arguments are as vacuous as yours.

I like this use of LLM because I assume both the developer and ticket owner will review the text and agree to its contents. The LLM could help ensure the ticket is thorough and its meaning is understood by all parties. One downside is verbosity, but the humans in the loop can edit mercilessly. Without human review, these tickets would have all the downsides of vibe coding.

Thank you for sharing this workflow. I have low tolerance for LLM written text, but this seems like a really good use case.

> This just in: 90% of everything is crap. AI does not, cannot, and will not change that.

Use a search engine. Such a disingenuous take. AI is demonstrably being used to flood the web with slop faster than humans ever could. Now 99% of everything will be crap, just like your takes.

Non web programming is not niche by any definition of the word niche.

Disgusting that this is flagged. How is an unusual White House web page not technology news? Whoever flagged this is a snow flake!

Can you please explain? Are you saying all software development outside of the web is "niche"?

I mean no snark, but can you link to some things that are objectively well done?

I have had the same experience. The vast majority of the time I use relay masks to sign up for stuff they work as expected. It is incredibly irritating when it does not work, but I blame the vendor and take that into account to decide whether I actually want to give this vendor a "real" email address. I often bail on these kinds of failed signups. Voting with my wallet.

To support the idea of unexpected difficulties in getting ID, I suggest reading about the North Carolina DMV. More direct evidence: try to schedule an appointment with the NC DMV via their online appointment system from any metropolitan area of the state and probably most others. Most people would not expect this to be a problem since the state requires online booking to do all kinds of identification related services.

I think the cool part is watching words go brrr.

What now? How would you even begin to know this? It sounds like you are out of touch if you don't think low wage earners can tell the vast difference between normal people and billionaires.

This is neat. Seems to work on Orion iOS using the firefox extension. Great job.

They don't sound upset at all to me. In fact, they are saying they are fine with you having your world view. To be fair, you acted upon your feelings enough to engage in discussion.

Vibe coded apps are by definition less secure. The more vibe coded apps, the more risk to users' data. Nothing you've said changes these facts.

That you think vibe coded apps may not collect PII, or that all PII has already been leaked is not at all realistic.

What about users who sign up for these insecure apps and have their data and possibly their identity stolen due to the misplaced trust? That this already happens is no excuse to encourage even less security by encouraging novices to believe they are experts.

I agree it is great that more people can build software, but let's not pretend there are zero downsides.

Bless your heart. ;)

I think a hallucinated sentence embedded in a paragraph of truth fits the definition: stupid and nonsense. A bullshitter can be right sometimes or even most of the time. They are still a bullshitter.

I know nothing about OCR providers. It seems like OCR failure would result in gibberish or awkward wording that might be easy to spot. Doesn't the LLM failure mode assert made up truths eloquently that are more difficult to spot?

Very cool and useful and similar to AIN which can be used to document and execute api interactions. HTTL is very nice and I look forward to the CLI version. It would be nice if it could output curl equivalent too. I might prefer this to AIN.

edit - how do I use a query string?

I agree that more detailed information would help further the discussion a lot. I am also interested in the mechanics of how these things are calculated.

The information is definitely out there: https://www.texaspolicy.com/the-energy-cost-of-social-media/

> and we end up with the same shit show we have today?

Absolutely certain. Furthermore, this can maximize exploitation of each individual human as the providers have such rich profiles about each human that they can customize pricing to extract the maximum amount of profit. It is by design.

As it made it past other filtering it is more dangerous. The last possible protection is the user's attention. If the user reads a coherent summary and then opens the message, might they be more primed to treat the message as legitimate?

I agree with you about other filtering being critical and more appropriate. I understand Apple made a good feature. I don't actually know if it will have a negative side effect. I do think it is a good idea to examine the feature critically due to the scale of Apple and the trust its users place in the company to protect them from harm. I also do not think the title of this article is very reasonable bc it insinuates something sinister.
