<p>I was once a juror during a very vindictive two day civil trial against what was essentially a hobby business. I left with a newfound respect for binding arbitration.<p>My feelings are different where there's grave power imbalances like you describe, but there's very little about dealing with a large corporations that is just or dignified these days.</p>

<p>> And a pure native app is _always_ going to behave better than react native.<p>Maybe iOS is better about consistency, but I've used enough horribly made Android apps that I would not expect one that's vibe coded to behave better than a professionally made react native version.</p>

<p>It only makes sense that fetuses which choose to be born into blue collar families in the wrong zip code are more likely to continue to make poor decisions for the rest of their lives. You just can't trust people with such a poor history of judgement. Unless they're C-Suite.</p>

<p>> If you'd used `slices.Contains(s, needle)`, on the other hand, it could have such a performance bug in it and you'd never know.<p>Perhaps you're much better at programming than I am, but I prefer these semantics in a language because I figure they're much more likely to have been optimized empirically, support vectorization, and be less buggy than another rote loop I'm trying to speed through.</p>

<p>For once I wish they would've taken a more technological solution to this social problem and enforced more limited CI time and disk space quotas by default. Seems like it'd be fairer and require less active policing. My read from their post was that the resolution had more of an ideological bent than being just about resources, which is certainly their community's right to have.</p>

<p>> So while the following use cases are discouraged (similar to private repositories), they are likely to be tolerated in practice:<p>>    Side projects and experiments with little resource usage
>    Specific tools and custom scripts that would be unlikely to find a community anyway, even if they were not LLM-generated<p>I really don't want to join a commons where something I make <i>might</i> be "tolerated in practice" based on a given moderator's vibe. Which I suppose is the message I was meant to receive from the issue that passed the vote.</p>

<p>I've found LLMs useful for surfacing popular recommendations. I also get the overwhelming feeling that it's all very early days still when the machine mixes together whatever was crawled into the weights with a web search or two and dumps it into a markdown blurb.<p>I totally agree with the above that a more polished and less obvious use of LLMs integrated back into search engines <i>may</i> be more useful, but will definitely be more usable.</p>

<p>You may (or may not) find Paul McKenney's free book on parallel programming interesting - it has an unusual tone for a Computer Science textbook that made it less dry for me.

<p>I always figured telegram got the screws turned on them all the time because their lack of E2E encryption meant it was viable to demand they proactively police the platform in the first place. Maybe Signal would just be outright blocked in these locales if it was anywhere near as popular, though.</p>

<p>> Especially if you are looking for where the fun is, the idiosyncrasies of your own engine gives you a world with it's own flavour if you incorporate that flavour into your design process you could create a feedback loop that turns into something special.<p>I loved the old STALKER games, and the wackiness of their engines was a lot of the charm. I ended up buying the new one out of nostalgic dedication and it's probably the worst example of "Unreal slop" I've experienced, having not bought many newer games. I'm sure the butchers running Xbox have run the numbers and think they'll make even more money throwing armies of contractors with allegedly fungible skills at the next Doom games, but I'll leave others to bankroll that while I enjoy games I don't need frame generation for.</p>

<p>Counter question: where's the useful production-grade software that's been made entirely with "agent swarms"?<p>Personally, I don't think useful business problems can be solved entirely with LLM loops. If you choose not to pay others to handle part of that then it's all on you.</p>
