Because of AI or because hackers are hyper targeting infra clusters?

I’ve been wondering about potential regression in coding models.

The initial models were corrected by programmers which gave a very high quality feedback signal. Whereas with vibe coding on the rise, you’ll lose that signal.

@grok is this true?

Vercel auto creates deployments on pushes to branches. That was a super useful feature in beta testing web stuff.

didn't know datomic was free of licensing fees - I didn't use it back in the day because the cost was prohibitive... interesting

I vibed up a chrome extension that sets a timer, hides shorts, redirects home to subscriptions, and hides comments and recommendations.

It’s all toggleable so I don’t disable the extension when I do want some neuronal junk food. But just the micro friction being added back in is such a huge help to becoming more aware when using it.

I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight.

Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.

Whether it’s pleasant to have any screens that close to your eyes - or ever will be - is maybe the bigger question for VR.

Guess you’ve sorted it but it might be in the session memory in your root folder. I’ve recovered some things this way.

I think that metal isn’t double precision; so that limits some serious physics simming; but if you’re doing that I guess you just rent a gpu somewhere.

I would definitely be into this if adding an egpu was first class supported.

Wasn't the answer 42?

Also, first question to the new model: "So... any way we could do this with fewer parameters?"
