Wow, that is completely wild. I have done an absolute ton of cycle touring (at least 60 trips, in 5 countries), and the idea of buying a bike 2 weeks before a trip, and embarking on a solo journey like this with no experience blows my mind.

He seems to have made some really savvy decisions though, like getting a proper bike fit, and knew enough about camping and meal prep etc to make it work.

Kudos to him.
With great worry I observe recent developments in the U.S., but I do not catch what event are you referring to exactly. Would you kindly hint?
I don't understand why "rightward" viewpoints need affirmative action in the form of government regulations?
Truth is we've been post-developer for a while; powerful machines and high level abstractions has made good developers into managers, translating business objectives into software products and managing the outcomes with much less typing of code -- they're still called software engineers for legacy and cultural reasons, of course.

Sadly most shops greatly overlook this reality, stuck in 1991, and continue to add redundant layers and staff thinking it makes them 'agile'.
I'm in France, maybe I should open a proxy. You order through me, I reexpedite to the US, with a French stamp lol.
I guess that your takes on parallel, compartimentalized, self healing, game-theory based micro AI agents could be spawned and organized code their own way. But... wake me up when it happens, ok? ;)
I hoped you had some real data, but all you had was a joke.

Ok it's not zero. Is it 0.0000000000000000000000001?

Surely you're aware that obtaining 0.50$ is not going to have a large impact? Even if the sum is 3000$ the impact is extremely limited.

But you had to go and be a r/iamverysmart material because you actually have no more information than me.

Also learn to spell therefore please.
The US shifted their focus from domestic to international politics after WWII. They were brought in as arbitrators for world peace, and in a lot of ways, stepped up to the task. Military expansion and spending went through the roof and the Cold War and Vietnam didn't help build public trust in government to do big things at home. Behind the scenes though, politicians could work with other nations to organize the reality that we all live in today in the West. Later, politicians began organising free trade and technology became the next frontier. Why spend hundreds of millions on a bridge when I can send an email instead of a letter? The USA really is a "marvel" in the fact that most of her problems were caused and exacerbated by success and enough competent people in power to keep things moving.

It's hard to discuss the United States without mentioning Trump who believes that undermining the past 100 years of Neoliberalism will bring America back to her "glory days" while completely ignoring the reality on the ground that led from where they were then to where America is today.

So maybe there will be more public works projects in the future for America, but I fear that they will be more focused on appeasing dear leader instead of meaningfully improving the lives of the average American citizen. But until someone turns on the lights and shuts off the music, America will continue to spiral and cry about "unfairness" while her created reality crumbles due to lack of maintenance and care about the subtle realities on the ground that were once central to her rise in the first place.
Your app looks really and the website is also cool but Readeck and Omnom are both selfhosted bookmark managers. A cool app is good to have but not a requirement.
Totally agree, and USA hasnt delocalized that, so if cost was the problem, or code production... why?
> There's no federal inheritance tax. Only some states have it. You're thinking of the estate tax.

They're the same as far as this discussion is concerned, as the amount that the beneficiary gets is (roughly) the same.

> "The loan" otherwise known as "income" because that's what it really was

Borrowed money is not "income" in any sense of the word. When I was on summer vacation, I decided to take a class in accounting. One of the most productive uses of my time. I recommend it. P.S. if your business tries to classify borrowed money as "income", that's called fraud.

> If you read the link I posted

I rely on my CPA for tax advice, not the internet, nor do I care much for misusing accounting terms. I've read too many articles that confuse income with revenue, wealth with income, and so on.
Fun fact: it is based on TinyEMU too.

> perfectly in the spirit of the hacker ethos

I would strongly disagree on this count. Hacker ethos, at least as traditionally understood, emphasizes grokking and elegance.
> This is like 99% of web development today.

You've claimed this several times now and I fundamentally disagree. In my 11 years of experience working across some 7 companies, web development has always been more than just 99% side effects. Obviously your experiences may be different, but this generalisation is silly.
Amazon definitely don't do anything like this.

IIRC AES GCM does about 40-70 MB/s per core on Pi4, and ChaPoly does 150-200MB/s.

On Pi5 AES GCM does 1.5-2GB/s per core, and ChaPoly is still something like 150-300MB/s.

You can do experiments yourself with `openssl speed`.
> somehow the "intellectual elite" cannot wrap their heads around a very simple negotiating tactic

This is extremely disingenous. Throughout this thread you've been arguing on the basis that hiring people simply to fit a political viewoint is wrong, but when it's pointed out that that's exactly what your team wants as well you fall back to name-calling.
Because you, in this case OP, also generates bot traffic to "borrow" content from other websites to serve to their own users. Ironic, no?
There must’ve been an attorney in that email thread who quickly reached out to him privately to make sure he added another sentence. That’s hilarious.
Not in that sense. When you're coding and "in the zone", the code doesn't cease to exist - it's more like it becomes the extension of you.
My point was that a blanket generalisation is bad because it's a blanket generalisation, the details are unimportant.

Yes, outsourcing is famously difficult to get right, and yet we've been doing it in every industry for decades now. And the famous examples become famous when something fails (boeing et. all) but there are also success stories out there. The trick, as always, is in the implementation.

My other point was that every "new thing" gets the same treatment. It doesn't work. Oh, it works but on toy problems. Well, it works on some complicated problems, but it's expensive. Ok, it works on a variety of problems, it's cheap, but it's unmaintainable. And so on, and so forth.
I am happy that there will be work in security for good while. They might first pass run LLMs on that too. But it will miss things and that is where I can come in...
That was faster than expected - here's the merged commit implementing the --identify-as flag: https://github.com/riseandignite/mcp-shield/commit/e7e2a6c04.... Thanks again!
I don't know where you live but in my country going to some old person and trick them into signing stuff they don't understand is illegal.

Banks aren't even allowed to suggest buying high risk stuff.
Yeah, I'm always amazed what young people can get away with on the spur of the moment.

Was in Kyrgyzstan recently, and there's a popular hike that everyone does (Ala Kul). But it's HARD. And the people that do it are often not hikers. It's 3 days, but it involves a massive climb at altitude, and you have all these random backpackers attempting it because...well, that's what you do. And by and large they all seem to get through it ok.

I've only ever left one bad review on Amazon. Chopsticks, they came bound together with some sticky tape. Sticky tape left a very sticky area just where your hands go that I was unable to get off despite a lot of effort scrubbing, washing, and so on. I left a polite constructive review saying they were good chopsticks but watch out for this stickiness issue. My review was declined by Amazon on the grounds it didn't meet their "community guidelines" (without elaborating further on which rule I'd supposedly broken).
With the Altair you had switches to input bits of CPU instructions. Then punchcards. Then Telex. Then assembly in a terminal. Then C, Pascal and Smalltalk. Then Java, C++, Python, PHP. Then the mountains of libraries and frameworks, realtime indexers, linters, autocomplete, suggestions.

The next step seems that we will write programs in prompts. Maybe we will get a language that is more structured than the current natural language prompts and of much higher order than than our current high level programming constructs and libraries.
This critique feels similar to the “agile was a bad idea” articles lately.

Here’s what I think is really happening:
A new, radical way of work is developed and introduced to the world.

Most large organizations are incapable of radical change, but they also don’t want to be left behind.

So, they adopt pieces of the new thing, up to the change tolerance of the organization. Existing processes that they are unwilling to change get renamed to mirror the new thing.

This hodgepodge of processes underperforms expectations based on what would have happened on full adoption.

Employees grow cynical and resist adopting any new hotness/flavor of the day practice, when in reality the organization hasn’t ever changed much.
> Encryption (can work with sharing), signatures, fall back to CDN. Control is not an issue.

And of course if an encryption key gets leaked, you can just rotate it. Since it’s a stream, past content is not as important.

(That said, I don’t think it will help — any DRM can be cracked, and there’s plenty of online TV streaming sites even with the current centralized systems.)
wow, sounds awful, you should probably ask for your money back

I still use PHP, is your point that everyone will happily use NextJS in 10 years? I doubt it.
What do you reckon, does OP in this post respect robots.txt or do they "borrow" content in a similar manner, without respecting such standards?
Since the discussion is entirely about their motivation in buying Instagram, it’s certainly not moot at all. They wanted to have a monopoly and remove the competition. That was the motivation.

The FTC investigation specifically had a condition that they would reevaluate the acquisition in coming years. This was widely expected to be done, and everyone knew about it at the time of the acquisition.

> I think that one of the most self-defeating things that some of Trump’s opponents do is to ignore the fact that many of his actions are based on actual problems in the US. In my mind, bad things really were done on college campuses. Awful things really were done in the name of DEI. Cancel culture really was out of control. The US really does have economic deficiencies in the manufacturing sector

The problem, as it were, is that most of these "problems" are invented by "news" agencies and then repeated over and over until people believe them.

For example, in this conversation, there is literally no fact I could mention, no study I could cite, that would convince you that any one of these things might not actually be a real problem because you didn't use facts and science to develop them in the first place.

I do think the answer isn't to play defense to made up problems but talking about reality is always harder and more complicated than emotive sound bites.
Well I can’t read a sentence since it’s paywalled
An LLM distribution exists in the physical world, just as much as this comment does. It didn’t exist before the model was trained. It has relation to the physical world: it assigns probabilities to subword units of text. It has commercial value that it wouldn’t have if its objective probability values were different.
TIL Temu has a return policy. I thought the return policy was "throw it in the trash and be out the money (albeit 1/10th of what you would have paid in a regular store)".
I don’t think it has live streaming?
I think "maintainable" is carrying a lot of weight in there.

A lot of profitable or otherwise successful software has been built by people who reasonably couldn't be called software engineers or computer scientists or whatever academic title. With Excel, Access, VB, Delphi, Wordpress. I'm sure there's an astrologer somewhere that made OK money from a hack in Delphi or VB for divining the stars on a computer.

It shouldn't be called "vibe" coding, it seems more like glue coding, which some people have been doing and sometimes made careers out of for a very long time. Wordpress was for a long time the big thing in this area, it allowed (probably) millions of people to call themselves web designers and web developers without actually becoming competent in software design.

Many corporations selling software have developers that aren't much better than that. People that might do 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE foreign_id = ?' to check whether there exists any such row, or create full copies of data to add versioning to some product instead of keeping it as metadata, or generate and store hundreds or thousands of gigabytes of dumb data representing business processes (like bookings and such) for the coming century instead of inferring it from rules on the fly. The corporations where I've seen this are generally considered fine and good software companies by customers and competitors alike.

A new RAD, a new Wordpress, a new MICROS~1 Access or a new LotusNotes isn't particularly revolutionary. I suspect the 'hype' is more about getting people in IT to accept the technology as such and not revolt against the broader applications against other, non-technical, people; for control, disciplining, harassment, surveillance, war or whatever nefarious, tyrannical purpose.
Would you reckon OP's bot(s) respect it when borrowing content from the large variety (their words) of podcast sources they scrape?
Not every house has enough space for battery storage. And management of millions of small batteries is harder than management of thousands of bigger batteries. Millions of small batteries are also vastly more expensive than thousands of bigger battery projects.
I love it how AI-sceptics just keep moving the goalposts.
Really? They're not going to get below prime. Nobody loans out money with a guaranteed prospect of below market returns. It's going to be above prime.

Usually about the lowest rate you can get is a mortgage on your house.

Of course, if your credit is bad, you're not going to get a good rate.
That's like saying there were pictures of jews who were not malnuritioned during the holocaust, so it must be fake!

There are many who died from starvation, this is a fact. Don't be a genocide denier. The israelis have been controlling food and water and electricity from Gaza for a long time now, they have never been free.
Fabrice does a great job at building these self-contained pieces of software which often grow to have lives of their own. As a lesser known example, JSLinux's terminal emulator was forked a few times and is now known as xterm.js, which has become the predominant web embeddable terminal emulator.

This all comes full circle, because now I'm building a true successor to JSLinux that's way faster because I've natively compiled the kernel/userspace to wasm, and of course I'm using xterm.js for the terminal emulation.

If you like buggy demos that probably shouldn't be shared yet, you should check out https://linux.tombl.dev, but note that it's currently just a busybox shell and nothing else, so I hope you're good with `echo *` instead of `ls`.
Hmm, yeah, that's a fair point. You're right, we're looking at the tool definitions – the descriptions, schemas, etc. – not the stuff that comes back after a tool runs.

It's tricky, because actually running the tools... that's where things get hairy. We'd have to invoke potentially untrusted code during a scan, figure out how to generate valid inputs for who-knows-what schemas, and deal with whatever side effects happen.

So, honestly, no solid plans for that right now. The focus is squarely on the static analysis side – what the server claims it can do. Trying to catch vulnerabilities in those definitions feels like the right scope for this particular tool.

I think that analyzing the actual results is more about a runtime concern. Like, something the client needs to be responsible for when it gets the data back, or maybe a different kind of monitoring tool altogether. Still feels like an open question where that kind of check really fits best. It's definitely a gap, though. Something to chew on.
And here we go. SEOs scrambling to get "rewarded" in AI-driven search results. The article takes a swing at uncovering the secrets of "how to get your ideas included in more LLM responses."

In this case the LLM was spot on to flatten not reward! In no way is her idea an "original and innovative insight" as claimed. Something about a "multilingual SEO matrix", and the "coining" of that term. The LLM has seen it and noticed nothing special or original. Good LLM, have a biscuit!

Her idea is a breezy mash of existing concepts around multilingual SEO. Just because you're proud of your late-night SEO matrix chart, doesn't mean it should be elevated to epic status without time and consensus from others to evaluate usefulness.

> LLMs are incapable of attributing an original concept to its creator

This just isn't true. It might be for something you coined last week by mashing together existing concepts in the most unremarkable way imaginable. In time, valuable original concepts are indeed tied to their origins that AI knows about.
This is neat, but, why not just run the USL script, rather than translating it to another language to run it there? Most of the target audience for this has the access to just work in whatever language needed and the few who don't, for reasons, probably are just going to write their scripts in the languages available to them.

Seems that being able to translate a script from one language to another language would be more useful.

This is a case where there were 111 problems. Now, there's 112.
> they only trust the fear instillled on them by whatever authority they worship

Of course they do. Imagine walking down the street, seeing a homeless guy on drugs yelling that the end is coming, and being shit scared that the end is truly coming.
The market does what people want. Fast fashion is exactly what people want because fashion has always been changing fast and about the "new thing" and people like to be able to buy new stuff all the time.
Cook a meal, yes. "How you'd like it", no. You have to use the languages that have a large enough presence in its training set that it knows them well, and ditto for frameworks and libraries. Once you step out of that zone, quality rapidly plummets.

"Does it in seconds" is kinda true if you ignore the "supervised by you" part. That part - reading through the generated diffs to catch (sometimes very subtle) errors - can take a while.

And sure, you'd have the same problem with the intern. But the intern learns from you. The LLM will make the same mistakes again in the same circumstances. Yes, I know they do have memory now, but it my experience that RAG-based stuff is not particularly reliable. I suspect this might improve once hardware is fast enough that you can use a (smallish) helper LLM for RAG with reasonable perf, but we aren't quite there yet.
Love it - and ironically this is something one would struggle to build with "vibe coding" alone
I’ skeptical when I see “% of code generated by AI” metrics that don’t account for the human time spent parsing and then dismissing bad suggestions from AI.

Without including that measurement there exist some rather large perverse incentives.
It was Samsung Galaxy Mini 2. I think it was the worst phone that was yet vaguely usable.
Thanks for the kind words – really appreciate you taking the time to look it over and get what we're trying to do here.

Yeah, combining the regex/pattern checks with having Claude take a look felt like the right balance... catch the low-hanging fruit quickly but also get a deeper dive for the trickier stuff. Glad that resonates.

Maintaining the core prompt quality as people contribute improvements... that's going to be interesting. Keeping it effective and preventing it from becoming a kitchen sink of conflicting instructions will be key. Definitely something we'll need to figure out as we go.
Just wait till the sniffling Marc Andreessen shows up to explain why this will save his small town brethren.
Right now there are thousands of apps getting built with AI that are going to work surprisingly well, will get embedded into all sorts of fundamental processes — and will start to perform unacceptably badly in two or three years. God knows what we do with this information but it seems clear we are setting up for a tsunami of horrible performance regressions
Funny to ship a web browser for a webserver.
This reporter Ben Fritz has no idea what he is talking about. It's never about the story. It's about known actors, from A to B to C, and then the genre. Then the trailer. Never about original stories.

The recent movies he is talking about are published in the dry season. And 7m box office is great for Drop, with not a single known actor. Who would go there?
In these months until the summer blockbusters the studios crank out the cheap loosers and see what sticks. Not a single named title will stick. Everyone knew that before. That's why they got no budget and such a release date.

> investment opportunities are gated based on wealth and income

Anyone can install robinhood on their phone and trade using their credit card.

> Financial policy is very specifically against people saving their money

No, it isn't. People who save money are terrified of risk. There's nothing stopping anyone from investing the money.

> that's why a certain level of inflation is considered desirable to mainstream economists

That's the excuse the government makes to inflate the money. You'll never see a politician point out the real reason for inflation. It's so they can spend it without raising taxes, but it does cause inflation, and inflation has to be blamed on something else. Anything but the truth.
The world is still consuming. Even if the US tariffs everyone else, they still trade amongst themselves. The real risk to our economy is that the rest of the world stops paying for our services and cultural exports.
