Is the issue that all vibe-coded sites look the same, or that everyone uses the same Bootstrap or Material components? This site does indeed look like every other vibe-coded site, but so does any site using the same component libraries.

True. I’d probably prefer to see the money go to a better performing company, but since there are like, 2 companies in the US that actually make semiconductors, there isn’t much other than starting a whole new company. Which, for $10B isn’t

Yeah, I haven’t dug into the numbers to know. Which option makes more money for the government (and therefore the taxpayer, sort of) - a profit sharing agreement, or a share of the company (which, as with all publicly traded companies, is a

If you’re going to give taxpayer money to a for-profit company, taxpayers should receive a share of the company in return. I generally don’t like 90% of the policies we’ve got going on right now, but I actually feel okay about this one.

What curious timing! Glad you're using your rights to punish this company. A coworker at a prior company used Otter.ai once or twice, and from then on we all called it the Otter Infection until IT was able to purge it from our systems

That’s an interesting observation. I’ve wondered how he can be so “creative” if you can call it that, but I guess if you have lots of assistants who can read all of the “well, technically you can do XYZ” sections buried deep in odd legal

It’s much cheaper than making suboptimal decisions slowly. Free solvers are fine for small problems (GLPK, for example), but lots of business problems are pretty much impossible to solve in the timeframe required unless you fork over cash f

Have you tried 3D printing? It’s a pretty cheap and forgiving way to get into manufacturing. You’ll get a lot of practice with CAD. Autodesk Fusion 360 is free for hobby use and very good. For machining, I’d start with wood (wood lathe or r

Thanks for the reply. Some thoughts: 1) I don’t know that the freeing up of the “high skill worker” turns out as rosy as you paint it. My observation (I don’t have data on this, but it’s supported by driving through any medium-sized midwest

Upvoted for discussion, but this is a pretty junky article with opinions more than facts. Most of the facts (wow look at that per capita wealth increase!) make me question if the author understands basic math. Wow, the average went up! I wo

Yeah, I have never seen something like that in America in my life. Always plenty of machines sitting around, and every few weeks some guys will hop on them for the day, but other than that they just sit there. It almost looks AI generated h

They are not banning them from using their AI tool. They're banning them from the currently-offered licensing structure. This is a profit-grab, not an ethical restriction. It is of the same vein as Sam Altman going to congress and spoo

$90M goes a lot further in India, though. But yes, you’re still correct that this mission doesn’t prove that private is cheaper. I’m sure that Intuitive Machines took a big loss on this in order to get the deal, and it still cost this much.

I believe it was Feynman who said something to the effect of "airplanes do not fly like birds do, but they fly much faster and can carry much more". So yes, we do not need to exactly replicate how humans do things in order to do h
