Yeah, I suppose it's something like that. Except that my solution wouldn't rely on Google, would be open source and self-hostable. Are you aware of a similar project that does this? Would save me some time and effort. :) There als

I can relate to your frustration. This future is being forced on humanity by pluto/megalomaniacs who are gaslighting everyone into believing that this technology will be a net improvement to our lives. Meanwhile, the truth is that only

Lately I've been thinking that the only viable long-term solution are allowlists instead of blocklists. The internet has become a hostile place for any public server, and with the advent of ML tools, bots will make up far more than the

I can't tell whether this "technique" is serious or a joke, and/or if it's some elaborate grift. In any case, the writing style of that entire blog is off-putting. Gibberish from a massive ego.

Right. We can certainly get much more utility out of current architectures with better engineering, as "agents" have shown, but to claim that AGI is possible with engineering alone is wishful thinking. The hard part is building sy

I've gotten used to runit via Void Linux, and while it does the job of an init system, its UI and documentation leave something to be desired. The way logging is configured in particular was an exercise in frustration the last time I t

That may be true, but navigating 30 years of accumulated cruft, fragmented ecosystems and tooling, and ever-evolving syntax and conventions, is enough to drive anyone away. Personally, I never want to deal with classpath hell again, though

It's not for nothing. When a profitable product can be created in a fraction of the time and effort previously required, the tool to create it will attract scammers and grifters like bees to honey. It doesn't matter if the "b

The issue is not with how code looks . It's with what it does, and how it does it. You don't have to be an "artisan" to notice the issues moi2388 mentioned. The actual difference is between people who care about the qua

Programming and vibe coding are two entirely separate disciplines. The process of producing software, and the end result, is wildly different between them. People who vibe code don't care about the code, but about producing something t

This approach also breaks down for the same reasons the Waterfall model doesn't work. A lot of information is discovered during development, which causes specs to be outdated or wrong. At that point the LLM context is deeply poisoned,

The screen is underwhelming. I was hoping it would be actual color e-ink, but the viewing angles and contrast on that LCD are horrendous. It looks like a first generation TN panel.

This is a common workflow that most advanced users are familiar with. Yet even following it to a T, and being really careful with how you manage context, the LLM will still hallucinate, generate non-working code, steer you into wrong dire

To be fair, the Surface Pro 11 ARM is really good. It's the best actual computer in a tablet form factor I've ever used. iPads and Android tablets are crippled by their OS, and x86 tablets are bulky, hot, underperform, and&#x2

Having the right to modify one part of the product is not the same as having the right to modify the entire product. Labeling such projects as open source in the full spirit of the definition is disingenuous. This is similar to the approach

And yet it's not used that way in the vast majority of cases. Most people don't want to learn. They want to get a result quickly, and move on.
