It did though. Look at it now. The crash was incredibly short lived, and if you try to point it out on a graph of the last 30 years, you won't be able to find it.

Am I correct it looks like this was published 3 days ago? They made that video.. in essentially 2 days?

I very much disagree that it's coming. I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works. There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market, where things like EPS mean absolutely nothing and speculation no longer requires actual returns.

To protect the corruption scandal already at play. It's not about the company, it's about protecting the church.

Local AI will catch up. Unless we can't get our hands on hardware anymore, which is a legitimate concern I have.

Xbox/Microsoft Game Pass actually automatically canceled for me when I hadn't used it.

Part of the issue is that there's a massive variety between peppers, and genetic diversity is incredibly wide, making it nearly impossible to determine the exact type of pepper you have. There are a few different universities and governments that "certify" peppers, but they aren't connected in any way.

I've learned in the course of making this site, that pretty much all information about peppers is garbage. That's half the reason I wanted to start this.

I feel like a lot of folks down here are focusing too much on the agent part. That's purely marketing. No one who worked on the service, I am sure, was building exclusively for agent usage.

This is simply the framing device that all marketing needs to present these days.

My Mac Studio with 96GB of RAM is maybe just at the low end of passable. It's actually extremely good for local image generation. I could somewhat replace something like Nano Banana comfortably on my machine.

But I don't need Nano Banana very much, I need code. While it can, there's no way I would ever opt to use a local model on my machine for code. It makes so much more sense to spend $100 on Codex, it's genuinely not worth discussing.

For non-thinking tasks, it would be a bit slower, but a viable alternative for sure.

Hey all,

To be up-front, this is a vibe-coded project. I have been developing a large number of personal tools that I have had in my backlog for years, finally realized by vibe coding. That said, I have been a developer for somewhere around 20 years.

This is a simple Vite/React app with a tiny Node.js proxy for authenticating with Plex (and other media servers). Run the docker image on the same network as your Plex media server, load up the currently playing video file, and make your clip.

Here's a tiny video of it: https://x.com/TechSquidTV/status/2043886838658552136

This is 100% vibe coded. I have been tired for a while wanting a quick way to make "meme" style images and other simple image edits without bloat, signups, ads, watermarks etc.

Just a simple react app, in-browser, hosted on GitHub Pages.
