<p>oh yeah - in this case the result is that the code was smaller and they were happy with that. correctness was not a criteria</p>

<p>If you replaced "AI" with "a developer" in this article, it might make more sense why it's being dunked on. It would be an article about someone telling someone to do something, and then when the work was done they were happy with the result. It's just a bit of a nothing all round</p>

<p>yes, but it's only advantage if one is compute-strained and the other isn't. if they both have lots then there's no advantage. if one doesn't fully utilise their compute then it's not an advantage either</p>

<p>Startups generally _don't_ end up with better outcomes. Large companies stay stable, startups are volatile and often end in failure.<p>Stability means removal of volatility, which means to stay stable they end up becoming more generalised, rather than the laser focus a small team like a startup can have. That laser focus can work out when applied to the right problem at the right time, but is very much not a guarantee.</p>

<p>It shows the guy going to the restaurant, the same guy that eventually shows up at my door. It shows it on the way to a couple of deliveries and takes as long as extra deliveries should roughly take. It shows the immediate previous delivery when it's almost delivered, and the guy spends about as long as i'd expect at that place.<p>Not saying that it's not deceptive in some way, but it's more than just a surface-level difference.</p>

<p>When I choose priority delivery in Uber, I can see the driver go to the store, pick up my order and drive directly to my place. I also see the driver usually have 1-2 stops on the way if I don't select that. If there's enough gap between myself and the restaurant, priority is absolutely a time save.<p>If this is Uber then it's not legitimate.</p>

<p>I agree!<p>There's certainly a difference between making useful content for the love of it and making content because you think there's an opportunity to get something out of that (that could be money, but it could also just be appreciation or someone reading your work).<p>It's demoralising to not get any views on your hard work, and in this economic environment it sometimes feels more worth your time to do any other activity.<p>You may be the counter-proof to that and I enjoy your blog! But, also a lot of what makes your content useful is timing with depth and that's something that AI can't beat yet</p>

<p>> Rocky's first release happened in 2021. It's presently on its 10th.<p>I'm going by the text on the page and didn't dig any deeper. On that page it says it's unreleased. Looking at the other comments it's not even the main site. No idea what this site linked is at all - maybe an older version where it was previously hosted, or some sort of malicious attack.<p>> Any system that can respond to HTTP requests can be used as a web hosting system.<p>By this I mean its primary function is as a web host, or some kind of software that has a primary purpose of hosting websites. It's not Nginx, or Render or Vercel. An OS can host web software that can host websites, but not specialised for that purpose.<p>I would not be shocked that a website for general purpose software (like an OS) was hosted on a platform that removed the operations work from their plate, like Github pages or Vercel. They don't need it to be a demo of their work, and it's frankly not a good one if it were.</p>
