If I didn't know any better, I would think this is a thinly veiled marketing piece by "Codeberg", a company that I never heard of until this headline. https://www.paulgraham.com/su…

Possibly because OP might have one-shot vibe-coded this app with a single sentence as an LLM wrapper.

Flagging for clickbait title. It's deliberately obfuscating to intrigue users into clicking. A better plain title would be Strata: An LLM App that Tells You If Your Hiking Route To…

"Accidentally taking someone's bike thinking it was your" How often does this actually happen in reality versus it being trotted out as a backstory after being caught?

Seems like it's not pleasant, and the author says in theory it could be as low of a bar as getting into a heated argument; but the author never discloses his actual charge, which I…

When I go to their homepage, I get a Cloudflare SSL handshake failed error -- feels like a classical vibecode bug.

^ For what it's worth, just a note that the above paragraphs are AI generated, as can be easily inferred by the author's replies below.

Given the lack of denial to the straightforward question, you're probably safe in reading this as "yes it was indeed AI generated".

Good catch. Additionally, one of the authors on this is just a student at UWisc, and the other author is also not a professional researcher but instead an author of popular books. …

Anthropic has also been the biggest anti-China LLM in a long while, so it's possible they're using an opportunistic hack (potentially involving actual Chinese IP addresses) as anot…

Honestly, I'm fine with Google doing it. If not them, then some regulatory arbitrage startup will do it with way more de-facto scam and fraud. Google is not some morale arbiter for…

I was surprised to note at the end of the article it's written by Cade Metz, the same writer who doxxed Scott Alexander. I wonder if this turn to human interest pieces is a fallout…

Would it also be true to say: AI will change the world, but not in the way the OP (Thomas Hunter) thinks. -- The first statement, AI will change the world, is low surprise and clea…

The guide starts with the presumption they gained power through democratic elections. Neither China nor most other historic authoritarian regimes started this way. (Nazi Germany an…

Is this really an authoritarian regime survival guide or a not-too-hidden jab at the Trump presidency? Like I don't see too many of the items applying to classically authoritarian …

But everyone will upgrade to AES-256 (many system already has), and that truly will be the final symmetric algo even with moore's law.

Yeah it has terrible optics, yet it's clearly going to be normalized and come. The question is who does it and what is the organization of it. If this company doesn't do it, the ne…

I would say the critics are already on average proven wrong in the sense that they were betting on something that had a prior of 90% chance of being true. And now those odds might …

for those curious why an app would name itself Little Red Book despite the association, obviously they could have been better about the naming, but they're actually not the same na…

Yeah but "little red book" (xiaohongshu) in mandarin is not actually how the original Mao Little Red Book is called in Mandarin, either formally or informally. Informally in mandar…

Doesn't this "explanation" just shift the question to what is stiffness? Like it refactored the question but didn't actually explain it. Previously, we had statement "the weak forc…

In practice it was a targetted ban probably because this video got traction. Analogously, with a lot of grey area stuff, a person can almost surely get away with it ... but not if …

Probably some amount of customer service. Banks are at their distrection then on whether they want to tell you or not -- just like for any other reason for dropping you as a custom…

The middle ground seems to be allowing SARs (which are analogous to tips to police officers), but not requiring banks keep them secret from the customer. The bank could decide to d…
