With the right tooling, the state is minimal and gets synchronized between laptops.

I'd be fine with a thinner and lighter laptop if it was without compromises. But having a shitty keyboard, losing the HDMI port, wasn't worth it.

The problem with the word "AI" is that it's a broad term with fuzzy borders depending on who you ask. But no matter what definition you take Siri was not the first AI. It's a classical cases of Apple fans thinking Apple

That's a very weird choice. I can understand people buying them for the integration with the Apple ecosystem, but outside of it they're just dumb bluetooth earphones. There are better alternatives.

That's the thing, it's not announced at all. The title is wrong. It's just OpenClaw people claiming "Anthropic told us it's fine".

When all public parking will be metered we'll talk! For now, in US most parking is free. For example supermarket parking: they are forced by law to build huge parking lot. You pay not those not with your taxes but with your groceries,

The idea is to get a virtual personal assistant. Like Siri or Gemini but with access to all of your accounts, computers, etc. (Well whatever you give it access to). Like having a butler with access to your laptop. From what I understand, th

$180 a month is huge for "ordinary people". So I guess that leaves the in-between people who don't care about spending $180 every month but don't have any personal staff yet or even access to concierge services.

Funny enough, Americans are usually happy to use public transportation when the travel in Europe or in Japan. Also most New Yorkers use the subway every day. It's just their own public transit infrastructure they don't like, and I

It's not about artificially increasing car ownership price, it's about making people pay for what they use (parking space) instead of having it paid for by the whole society like a socialized good.

Having furniture made by a master designer and artisan woodworker is great. But sometimes, you don't have the budget for that and Ikea furnitures does the job just fine. Most of the time, actually.

They're not hardcoded to never say no, but some of the models were trained to be "yes men" because their creators thought it would be a good property to have. GPT-4o for example.

Distillation doesn't give you an equivalent model.

Selling below cost is also called "predatory pricing". Sadly it's legal in US but it's something wealthy companies do to kill competitors and end up with captive customers.

Yes they're not as powerful, that means you need to feed them smaller tasks and rely more on plan mode.

Depends on the culture as you said, but some of them are even less direct than English speaking countries. Japan for example.

This is much less work (= cheaper) to develop in-house with AI now than before.

LLM like humans can find vulnerabilities in black boxes. We already established 30 years ago that open source is usually more secure than closed source and that security by obscurity doesn't work.

Individuals and SMB might stick with Saas but those don't pay much. Enterprise customers have the means to develop in house, those are the customers that will leave. And those are the whales of the Saas business.

by eloisant 6mo ago
I mean you might as well write "any competing project will be considered infringement". It doesn't cost you anything either.

by eloisant 6mo ago
Exactly, that's why most Saas companies are in a very tough position. You have to bring value that goes beyond the source code and hosting, otherwise your clients are going to vibe code a custom solution instead of paying you.

This reads like a post from 1995. "But if everyone can read the source code, they'll be able to find vulnerabilities more easily!" No. Security by obscurity has proven wrong.

I'm excited and scared at the same time. Yes I'm much more productive than before, and I'm convinced we can't get rid of engineers altogether... But how long until my team of 5 gets replaced by a single engineer? Am I go

That might be true, but still: with Claude Opus I can give a task with 2 lines and it will just do it, with a local Qwen I have to use plan mode for everything even small tasks.

That's correct, the more I work with AI the more it's obvious that all the good practice for humans is also beneficial for AI. More modular code, strong typing, good documentation... Humans are bad at keeping too much in the short

The short film makes no sense, as the 2 people talking are meat themselves.

You can check OpenCode or Pi Agent to have an interactive app running on terminal and change you local code directly. I believe OpenCode also has a VSCode extension if you want to have it directly in your IDE, but I don't think it&#x27

The very definition of "vibe coding" is using AI to write software and not even look at the code it produces.

This is also why they had to release it quickly. They got the first mover advantage but if they delayed to make its code better, a competitor could have taken the wave instead of them.
