No, in that it's something inherently much more unstable than a bicycle and needs a trained human onboard to have any hope of getting anywhere without falling over spectacularly

If a computer is a bicycle for the mind I think LLMs are a unicycle for the computer.. That’s my own personal take on it anyway.

I’m guilty of using this approach too and noticed that an (obvious?) side-effect is that I get fewer wonderful, human, “aha” moments with my colleagues. I mentioned this at a stand…

> The customer won't be able to tell you "you're going too fast", but he will tell you that stuff break This is what the GP meant. They won’t spoon feed you the “you’re going too f…

I made a thing for this https://dailyalbum.art/ 12 random albums every day, picked from a list of curated lists that I've curated over the years; some of which are pitchfork lists …

Well kind of, or you just end up copying the poisoned version directly into your repo rather than having it as a dependency. Same outcome. I suppose if you're running some security…

I think the idea is that a decent, responsible engineer can come in and fix all the vibe coded nonsense someone else wrote

In a word: complaints. It’s somewhat understandable but also part of the problem.

Why would they? They make more money if you pay the $7 up front.

I guess that’s how it eventually goes through. When, at random, enough flippers flop or floppers flip that it tips the balance. And once it’s done it’s done. The relentlessness doe…

This is pretty cool, I have an interest in running admin interfaces (think web CMS) for non-technical users locally. I tried out the most basic possible example, from the linked pa…

This reads like slop. The four emboldened headings that make up the whole article sound like they’re straight outta chatgpt: * what happened * the devil is in the billing details *…

From the article: > Let us be clear. Artificial intelligence was not created out of thin air. The data and language used by generative A.I. tools didn’t just pop into Sam Altman’s …

Truly terrifying. I'll admit I was expecting one of the near-15.62 options to be "acceptable". How wrong I was; I should have seen that coming. As one of the below comments says, y…

That’s exactly what I was thinking. And I think you’re saying the same thing, but to be sure: the _wait_ wouldn’t be a timer, it’d be watching the clipboard for changes and proceed…

That sounds interesting but it would be a whole lot more interesting if the page was itself an example of said effect!

Can it wait/prompt for something new to be put onto the clipboard while it runs a Textile? For a use-case where I've copied thing 1, then I start my Textile, then I go and copy thi…

I 100% agree with the "please don't fuck up this stable & reliable workhorse" sentiment. I haven't read this in detail but "Six CVEs are fixed in this release. All six are assigned…

What a great resource. As someone who’s been making websites for 30 years, it’s amazing to still be picking up some of the basics. Though to be fair many of these didn’t exist back…

Having just moved house, this is fantastic inspiration. To be fair, the huge window by the desk in the article makes it a naturally more appealing space than my own. But it’s enoug…

I see two examples, India and Africa. Both of which look great but Africa is not a country.

100% agree that _should_ be totally unacceptable, but how many of these small businesses will actually care? Especially those which are primarily or exclusively non-technical

This is absolutely fantastic. I've thought before about trying to render skies on the web as a series of gradients overlaid on top of one another. I expect I could have had some le…
