I just vibe coded a socks proxy because existing ones were too thick. And let me tell you, you are absolutely right. Go libraries I’ve never heard of, new implementations that has not been tested.. I think the word for this is YOLO

Side note: My LG Watch Sport smartwatch was able to determine what weight training workout I was performing and somehow figured the weight with astonishing accuracy.

You still need the slides to communicate risk, cost, delivery estimates etc. a great way to get your own team and move up in the org

Used to have a dual atom box in NYC that had over 3000 days of uptime. The hard drive died and they messaged me saying I had the last atom box in their datacenter. They gave me a dual e5 with 64gb ram for the original price of my 2gb atom box. This is how you generate loyalty. I will never leave them.

Lucky for us it can be overturned, which I highly suspect it will be. Or at least this case will define the loopholes to use

> But this ruling will surely set precedent for other cases where AI is used.

I dont remember which court. But this is typically in that jurisdiction. It can be appealed higher. SCOTUS has not ruled so it’s still up for further argument

Back in my day someone would post a HN article to the internal slack in order to sway conversation in their favor. Glad to see its still happening! :D

Allow me to reply with an anecdotal story.

In 1992 I watched a car parallel park itself in NYC on Today, on nbc before I went to school. My mind was reeling, automated car technology is right around the corner! That technology did not ship for 20 years.

It is easy to say we are getting better, that doesn’t mean we will see, in this case, starship fly in the near future. And while I have the utmost confidence in Gwynne Shotwell, I am not holding my breath that we see starship launch with any meaningful payload in this decade.
