<p>Absolutely, the Win32-WASM layer it wrote is some of the most evil looking code I have seen in my life. But realistically, why keep it maintainable for humans if you won't find anybody that can work on it without AI anyways?<p>If we humans are just doing code style checks, file organizing and doc cleanups I feel we have demoted ourselves to code janitors. This is neither fun nor going to last.<p>Personally I've always strived for minimalism, to find the smallest, fastest, simplest solution possible so I'm pretty jaded now, too...</p>

<p>I just asked Astra to bring an old Windows XP game to the browser. It objdump'ed the whole thing, built a fitting Win32-like wrapper that exposes required functionality like DirectDraw, DirectSound, SEH etc., then wrote an x86-32/x87 interpreter in WASM, benchmarked how the game runs, lifted the hotspots of the executable to WASM too and now it is playable!<p>I mean, I'm proud of my low-level skills too but this is some Fabrice Bellard level sorcery. Very, very few humans are able to do this without AI tools.</p>

<p>And what is the good old autocomplete feature? Do you attribute it authorship, too?<p>Is a series of matrix multiplications on a token vector not a mechanical transformation?<p>Where is the point where you start to anthropomorphize it?</p>

<p>In my last project I wrote most stuff by hand but also used various Anthropic models, Gemini something and GLM 5.2. By line count the #1 was probably the IDE autocomplete though mostly for boring field initializations and the likes. The "hardest" part was some reverse engineering by GLM that Claude refused but that resultend in zero lines directly. So, how to attribute this?<p>Allowing tools to insert themselves into the git history only makes sense if you are purely vibecoding with a single model and don't even bother to check and clean it up anymore. Is this truly the default state of software development already? How the times have changed.</p>

<p>It is an indicator of low effort.<p>If you didn't even spend a minute writing a couple sentences about your own project, how much effort did you put into actually building and testing it? Or are you just letting others do the hard parts: Review and verification that your vibe-slop actually works as claimed, and then feed their feedback back into an LLM?</p>

<p>CAMM2 is really just two DIMM sticks in one; you can even buy adapters where you plug in two SO-DIMM modules and get one CAMM2 (and there are also adapters for SO-DIMM to DIMM). Yes CAMM2 allows for faster and better signaling but it is entirely orthogonal to DRAM silicon manufacturing.<p>What you probably want is more memory bandwidth by default in affordable consumer PCs and I absolutely agree, it's ridiculous how we are stuck on dual channel memory controllers in consumer land despite core counts having exploded.</p>

<p>CAMM2 vs DIMM vs SODIMM is just packaging, the silicon chips are the same. As long as the silicon stays unaffordable the rest doesn't really matter.</p>

<p>Then the solution could be just like the solution to tobacco addiction: tax social media companies HARD, tax all advertising on social media 10x, 20x, or ban advertising on/for social media outright, ban advertising of kids products, ban showing use of social media in movies not rated 18, ... the problem will vanish just like cigarettes.<p>But no, that's not what governments are doing.

<p>> acid rain is a much smaller problem than global warming.<p>In fact it used to be a common occurence during the heavy industrial pollution in the 20th century. So much that after the pollution stopped, farmers had to start applying sulphur to their fields as nutrients for some crops (I learned about this after unsuccessfully trying to grow tomatoes in alkaline soil).</p>

<p>Here in Germany we have up to three months of almost zero solar production in winter due to foggy conditions (measured from my own solar inverter). It is not feasible to store summer electricity until winter in batteries. Batteries have self-discharge and would be hilariously expensive per KWh if they only cycle once a year. Chemical storage is probably the way to go here at least, and hydrogen can be used for many other useful things than just heating or running power plants.<p>Although there are many sunny countries where solar + one or two days of battery storage are probably enough for the full year.</p>
