In the age of Substack and Threads, there's nuance to be had, but you have to go looking for it. Data centers are a good example where you're right, there's only two opinions, but you can still find corners where gas turbines

Apple is the worst about this. "It works on my computer" but it won't on your computer, because Apple will quarantine my code when it gets copied to your computer, so it can't run on your computer because it's &quot

With vibe coding, you can make a bot that pretends to be human accessing the banks website, and be able to hit the bot with an API, and have the bot interact with the bank for you.

They were going for readability. You can make some impossible to read code with C++ because the programmer was too clever, and the designers of golang wanted to avoid that.

Flock chose not to implement the system with safeguards in the first place though. A more competent camera company would have started with it, and said no one is allowed to snoop on their ex's, with the force of law making it a fireabl

Arguably that's what BI tools like Tableau and Looker do. Or advanced uses of Excel, which an LLM can help with. The user has data and wants to slice it up and see it in a specific way and have some knobs to play with it to figure out

You'd need source code for the stack, something like OLPC's stack where you have source for everything that's running and then to glue that to an LLM.

Right. There's now chemical, biological and digital addictions to account for. GLP-1s seem to help with some of the needy hunger for, not just food, but the dopamine rush of gambling. Science is still waiting on studies to prove this i

I think answer in this day and age, is to invoke Skynet, and give an LLM control of the system. Glue a local model that works without Internet to it, and give it guard rails, and give it a bunch of system instructions defining the rules on

This is difficult, complicated software, and not just something you can vibecode over the weekend. But AI assistance is not to be ignored, and spite driven programming is a force to be reckoned with. Somewhere out there is an angry person w
