The issues with such tools are highly documented though. If you’re going to use a tool with known issues you’d better do your best to cover for them.

Which interestingly is the meat of this article. The key points aren’t that “vibe coding is bad” but that the design and experience of these tools is actively blinding and seductive in a way that impairs ability to judge effectiveness.

Maybe it’s just the people I’m around but assuming you write good tests is a big assumption. It’s very easy to just test what you know works. It’s the human version of context collapse, becoming myopic around just what you’re doing in the m

There’s a ton of semantic drop in css libraries similar to this. Love seeing new ones. Quality varies wildly but this site shows 50+ drop in stylesheets for those writing semantic html: https://dohliam.github.io/dropin-minim

It would be foolish to believe this isn’t happening basically everywhere. The reason this is news right now is because Amazon got cocky enough to buy an ad spot on the most watched TV event in the US showing the extent of their surveillance

The people I know that use them the most also seem the most likely to buy into hype. The coworker who no longer answers questions by talking about code but instead by talking about which skills are the best is the same who posts all the hyp

The use of the word Tragedy in the name I think makes it easier for people to excuse themselves when they monopolize the commons. “Oh it’s a tragedy humans are just selfish we can’t avoid it.” The tragedy is that people are comfortable excu

I honestly think it’s the opposite cause. The odds of success have gotten way narrower than they used to be. When kids at Stamford are afraid of failure that says to me that failure is way more likely for everyone. People are taking safe op

I was talking to a long time coworker the other day and they said straight faced basically you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. There are those who genuinely believe even at this point everything being done is justified.

While I fully agree with your sentiment it’s striking Dario said “this century”. He likely won’t even be alive for about 50%, assuming he lives to 80, of his prediction window. It’s such a remarkably meaningless comment.

My understanding is you could write an article like this for every agency right now. Rebuilding is going to be very expensive assuming we get there.

I love these line drawings. For those inspired by this implementation of them go visit MassMOCA. They are remarkable in person. Plan a long weekend. Spend a day or two at the museum then hike up Greylock the other day. Thank you so much for

Don’t see it mentioned here but I’m looking at Delta Chat as an option. It seems like a solid option if you want text only. Built on mail protocols, encrypted, allows for decentralization. Need to play with it more before I say I really lik

LLM are an embodiment of the Pareto principle. Turns out that if you can get an 80% solution in 1% of the time no one gives a shit about the remaining 20%. I agree that’s terrifying. The existential AI risk crowd is afraid we’ll produce god

I bet this is the research cited here in the parent article[0]. While the title is totally bait the contents is far from engagement bait. It’s a very level headed piece about what might happen and the research around the AMOC. 0: https:&#x

I’d highly recommend pandoc[0] if you need markdown conversion. Basically converts from everything and any markdown style to everything else. And then for clipboard just use `| pbcopy` on a Mac or `| xsel -ib`. Full command on a Mac would j

I’m a sucker for little embeddable languages but I’m even more of a sucker for rpn. Wonderful little example shows how simple of a math scheme it is.

Yea it’s on the oatmeal boxes even. Part of what’s interesting about this study though is they claim this two day intensive(300g per day) oatmeal diet showed microbiome changes which persist for months.

Just because the information is out there doesn’t mean it’s where people are looking. You see this based on the news people watch where things they don’t cover might as well not exist. Which has always been true but it’s especially true tod

One of the things that always strikes me with pieces like this is they ignore the reality that there's already atrocities being carried out all the time and that large swaths of the population already struggle to live. Reading the sect

Yes of course you should ask the same thing of other non AI PRs. Figuring out the why and the thought process behind behavior is one of the most important parts of communication especially when you don’t know people as well

This is wonderful. Ursula K. Le Guin is a great thinker and I’d highly recommend her novels. I’ve read Ken Liu’s, who many here probably know at least from translating The Three Body Problem and Death’s End, Tao Te Ching and it was remarka

I don’t disagree that’s a lot of it, and with Hungary as my possible second citizenship have been following Orban closely. I do think there’s something different happening here though. The loop is: - Do something wildly unacceptable - Media

This has been the story the whole time. Coupled with the insistence the media is unfair they’ve managed to shift the window of what is acceptable. It’s been remarkably effective and most news sources seemingly have no counter.
