What's the status on automatic debloating (non interactive) scripts for Windows these days? With vibe coding I'd expect hundreds of those to exist by now. Something everyone would …

Patent was being sarcastic. Everybody heard about (or had the displeasure of seeing) those ads.

(US only)

Woah that sucks. Closed the tab when I saw the cartoonishly stupid, completely out of place smoking thermometer. A music video is not (necessarily) a depiction of what the lyrics s…

The trope of vibe coded pages adding this slide-up transition on every paragraph needs to die yesterday.

At this point, the only "solution" is anti-compete legislation.

Thanks for your hard work!

Have you written software before?

I do. There is quite the delta between a immense & sudden reservoir and a meandering river shifting its (otherwise similarly sized, and unintterrupted) bed over decades. I'm not ev…

I don't understand those takes. Open-weights perhaps, but definitely not self-hostable – since those require $20k+ capex – which is the real "step change" to me, as it ends the str…

The concrete is a small part of the problem. Flooding gigantic areas and stopping the natural water flow have serious consequences for widelife, but most people don't care enough.

Not great. The inpainted areas are, as usual, very smooth compared to the detailed, "high frequency" look of natural photos. Barely useful enough to erase things in thumbnails.

Ah yes, clearly the one thing I want from my favorite projects is for them to embrace AI coding and immediately deskill such that their value-add or passion for the craft evaporate…

It has all the tells. There are websites which list them, please search "LLM tropes".

So annoying to read. Meanwhile, the key information ("backup key with higher priority") is mentioned in a sentence without any kind of elaboration or link to some follow-up/how-to.…

Performative UI unnecessary green status dot: check! Slop websites are getting very old very fast. https://vorpus.github.io/performativeUI/#/components/status-...

The world can't run on random philanthropy. You don't become a billionaire through hard work alone but through exploitation at scale. Tax the richs, or eat them.

Everyone is, see https://vorpus.github.io/performativeUI/#/components/status-... (satire of obvious slop-UI building blocks) and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48445554

This. The general concept of "terrible public transport tech disguising as a good & novel idea" has a name: gadgetbahn.

Eh, that only took a few dozen actively exploited supply-chain vulns in the span of two years!

Regardless, what's the point?

I realize you're being witty for comedic effect but aren't you genuinely curious whether this was something trivial or a complex systems interaction? The few times an LLM debugged …

I've had so few issues with Linux compared to Windows over the past 10y. This is a ridiculous and dated take. Even stuff that was truly a no-go is fixed (nvidia/cuda, wine/proton f…

Don't leave us hanging, what was the issue?

I don't understand why anyone still uses docker.
