It feels like it’s been a really long time since humans invented anything just by thinking about it. At this stage we mostly progress by cycling between ideas and practical experiments. The experiments are needed not because we’re not smart

It's inherently risky to blog about your professional relationships under your own name and this is a weirdly small hill to die on.

I can't wrap my head around "society failing people" - society is people. Average person has no influence, not even a little bit, on any of those things. Meanwhile, a small subset of the people have all the influence and they

Wasn't the original definition of vibe coding asking us to "forget that the code even exists"?

What if, hear me out, that’s kind of the goal? It’s not the only trap in the Apple ecosystem that degrades your experience over time. I’m convinced that the main purpose of Podcasts app is to eat up storage.

The neat part of the late 90s/early 2000s web was that, when you did something vaguely interesting, people actually came to see it and engaged with it. Obviously you can still create a weird webpage but it doesn’t matter if you publish

The static lines are motion blurred stars (even the bright one), the small dots are radiation noise, the one that moves, with a coma is the comet.

And on top of that - can you steer an LLM to create this kind of code? In my experience the models don’t really have a „taste” for detecting complexity creep and reengineering for simplicity, in the same way an experienced human does.

When you google his name, the summaries are part of top section that’s clearly pointing to Dave Barry, the autor. BTW, when I searched for him, the page said that he’s still alive, but sourced this information for a Wikipedia article about

Many shopping experiences are oriented towards selling you more than you originally wanted to buy. This doesn’t work if a robot is doing the buying.

You can point out the errors to people, which will lead to less issues over time, as they gain experience. The models however don’t do that.

Is there a phone out now, or at least on the horizon, that can do significantly more due to better integrated AI?

This seems like really bad news for the „AI will soon replace all software developers” crowd.

You need to add controls, as some people would like it set up differently than their OS. You need to store the setting. You need to consider people without accounts. You need to put a bit on thought into the color scheme, as this website is

Which would be fine if the market wouldn’t already price in the exponential growth.

Taxes aren't magic, you pay some money and receive some services. It's obviously possible to fund meals with tax money, but would he accept a higher tax rate to cover for it?

The product is a cartoon (and associated services, merchandise), not the idea. There were countless people involved in creating the set of products, even if just one person came up with the concept.

I tried a picture of Dublin and it pointed out the hotel I took it from. Obviously that’s more data than any single person can keep in their head.

It might be cheating a bit, but I’ve been happily (mis)using OpenAI Deep Research for such questions. It does well in cases where there are multiple surface level matches, as it’s able to go through the them one by one and look for the deta

Suggesting that „fast-food revolution” was inadequate solution to global hunger might be a tell.

There's a discussion on why ice is slippery that has similar vibes to the origin of lift.

It wasn’t vibe coding, they translated their tests from one framework to another.

There are multiple orders of magnitude between the sizes of models people use for „vibe coding” and models most people can comfortably run. It will take many years to bridge that gap.

We’re at a stage, where we have to come up with ever more complex benchmarks, as the old ones are getting saturated, yet, anywhere I look, I don’t see any significant productivity boost. I can’t point to any product on the market or a compa

It would be useful to have different levels of restrictions for various modules within a single process, which I don’t think pledge can do.

I think people were fine with OpenAI demos. They were less fine with not actually ever releasing the demoed tech.
