You're right, there are tons of different workflows you can do. One of the more innocent ones, regardless of you opinions on vibe coding, is just using the LLM to understand the co…

I've personally started focusing a lot more on code quality and communication skills over correctness of solving some leetcode problem. If I could get the infrastructure in place f…

It will also cause a lot of trouble for companies with specific data access policies (probably most large companies). My money is on this new thing getting gutted very quickly as t…

That's definitely the case as model distillation is one of the explicit safety carveouts they mention. Though TBF, model distillation is also a big concern for general safety as di…

While less necessary with AI, Excel is still the king of data entry and basic data manipulation (sorting, filtering, updating, etc.). I’d say that SQLite with a GUI for visualizati…

std::array can sometimes give you the best of both worlds for stack allocation in that you statically constrain the stack allocation size (no alloca) while guaranteeing that your b…

That is not what they should do according to microeconomics because luxury goods are Veblen goods. Decreasing price would lower demand, at least until they lowered it enough that i…

This already happens a lot for used clothes with the thrift store->poor country->landfill pipeline. That third step will likely be a lot less rare with new clothes.

A vector of boxes is beneficial if you need to move objects around. If each T is 1000B or something, you really don’t want to copy or even do true moves in memory. Hell, even if yo…

As long as you have a FedEx or library nearby, you can print things there

I enjoy both and have ended up using AI a lot differently than vibe coders. I rarely use it for generating implementations, but I use it extensively for helping me understand docs/…

I think the examples others have highlighted show the problem with just making it a library. They’re all lacking a lot of features from Prolog, particularly in terms of optimizatio…

I might need to try it out. However, I haven't really found a use case yet where the speed of Python has been a major factor in my day job. It's usually fast enough and is a lot ea…

And it needs to be said that you generally cannot tell if a vulnerability is critical for a given application except by evaluating the vulnerability in the context of said applicat…

That sounds like mania which is even more likely considering that early depression is often actually bipolar.

You absolutely don't need extensions for JS development. It is absolutely NOT notepad level. In my experience with beginners, installing an extension is also incredibly easy compar…

I think it depends on the music. Most people will have a greatly improved experience when listening to opera if they have access to (translated) lyrics. Even if you know the langua…

Why not both? As the GP mentioned, lyrics are also invaluable for people besides training for AI.

I'm pretty sure you could even have lyrics with a separate copyright from the composition itself. For example, you can clearly have lyrics without the music and you can have the co…

I haven’t used Codex a lot, but GPT-5 is just a bit smarter in agent mode than Claude 4.5. The most challenging thing I’ve used it for is for code review and GPT-5 somewhat regular…

My favorite is when someone is demoing something that AI can do and they have to feed it some gigantic prompt. At that point, I often ask whether the AI has really made things fast…

The interesting question is how/if this impacts the recommendation engine. If it does impact recommendations, then that will directly penalize channels with more adblock users.

There is also kind of a built in sponsorblock for YouTube on mobile. If you double tap to skip 5s repeatedly, a button quickly pops up to skip ahead (not explicitly about sponsor s…

I'm not sure I agree that non-emacs things are not extensible, but I agree VSCode could be a lot better about extensibility. It's a shame that there isn't some convenient way to ad…

Act like an authoritarian regime, get treated like other authoritarian regimes.
