Yes, for client projects where privacy and security is important, but no enterprise contract:

Open code against Infomaniak hosted OSS models: Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-FP8, Kimi-K2.6.

I use API keys for billing. It performs like Dec 2025 in terms of my productivity back then.

There were two paid features of CapCut that I vibe-coded using Remotion as the basis.

1) Automatically editing out pauses 2) Making those TikTok-like captions

Too many to mention. Daily drivers: replacements for CapCut, Granola.

A remote image viewer to see screenshots in VMs.

A simple agent harness to drive spec to verification.

A YouTube video summarizer.

There is an implicit assumption that the other supported runtimes aren't being vibe-coded. Looking at commit metadata tells a different story.

For me it is their personable account reps and customer service. It’s the human touch we’ve come to associate with the “Don’t be Evil” brand.

Interesting! I've been a LastPass and then 1Password user since 2009ish.

I left LastPass because of UX paper-cuts, but I've never lost passwords on either of them.

Honestly, it's something I don't want to think about and just need it to work on mobile and desktop, so the switching friction is very high for me. I'm not going to shop around and try different password managers.

Is "rug pull" a cost thing? I'm generally frugal, but pay for a family plan and don't think twice.

How were you screwed over by these products?

There is a joke around ownership or borrowing that I'm going to take the high road and not make.

It's becoming clear that the true legacy of this administration is peddling files.

Showing the completion screen and giving the ability to use a slider to pick the center might be more useful.

Napkin Math by Sabine Hossenfelder:

- people working in space top secret research 20,000 (conservative estimate, probably much smaller)

- adult disappearances 1/50k to 1/100k per year

- demographics are stable, high earners, so more like 1/100k per year or less

- so for the pool of 20k, then 0.2 per year on average

- these disappearances are a 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 probability

- homicides made this situation even more unlikely 1:100,000

Conclusions: A conspiracy is highly unlikely, but the situation is very unlikely. Shrug.

> the concentration of deaths and disappearances within such a small, specialized field as defying ordinary probability.

The best conspiracy theory I've seen online is that top-secret energy/weapons plans were sold by a traitor, and these scientists were kidnapped to be the worker bees.

Terribly dark and implausible, but also, we are living through a storyline that writers wouldn't even consider a draft because it's too on-the-nose.

Thank you!

Reasoning: They have the chops to create the world's first system where consensus, scarcity, and ownership exist without a central authority... But, they also lack the ability to write a Perl script to "Send Later". Checks out.

Does Carreyrou give reasons for eliminating Hal Finney from being (part or all of) Satoshi?

Luckily, the author will face no frustrations with Ubuntu or whatever Linux OS they migrate to. Flawless UX. Zero compromises.
