> The benevolent dictator always makes the right decisions. He's surrounded by his loyal band of perfect lieutenants, who apparently have zero desire to advance, and have no flaws at all.

That's why Orville is my favorite of the newer ST series. It has the high moral standards of the original series, but with characters who are far from perfect, who make mistakes, and who are sometimes even a little weird.

Yeah, no wonder.

I realized its much faster to do the "google thing" just with chatgpt. Its filters all the sh!t for you. Searching the net frustrates me most of the times this days. Search engines are software for an older generation of the www.

The script is working like charm. I updated the packages so it has more access to tooling (ffmpeg, rmagick etc)

I used codex the first time yesterday and quickly decided I need to sandbox it and came up with a pretty easy and straightforward solution (I think).

I use nixos and use a little wrapper that wraps Codex CLI in Docker. Run codex-box /path/to/project and it starts or reuses a container with only that project bind-mounted, keeping login and history in a separate volume. It uses tmux for detaching and reattaching

Its more like focusing on more than one thing (little momentum) while also figuring out how to steer. It doesn't have to be overly realistic.

Can you please add a "parking simulator" mode? Iam not joking, my SO wants a simple way to train parking and I think that could work very well. Or maybe just let one draw obstacles.

> I wonder what is the value of such vibe coded programs.

It took weeks for me to code programs with no real value.

I think it's great that anyone with enough ambition can create software now.

Edit: I forked it and added a flake.nix just to see it in action and its awesome.

Proton VPN. They inverst very much in youtube sponsoring and every other twitch streamer is partnering as well.

Yes.

I think this is a good rule of thumb: "If a company invests so much money in advertising over the long term and promotes its products so aggressively, the product must be subpar."

Yeah, its way faster.

Its not because chatgpt is so superior. Its just because google search is dogshit.

They work on killing the web as we knew it and I fear its kinda working.

Right man. I had forgotten that my nexus 7 had this kind of LED and I really liked it and missed it later.

They said that putting your phone away and reading a book before going to sleep improves the quality of your sleep. That's just not true.

Good stuff.

Maybe you can make a playback speed option for the simulation/play button? I fail to follow up.
