I'm just going to pretend that vibe coders mean a new VI variant and are using that to code. First VI, then VIM now VIBE? These linux holy wars are getting out of control. (sadly the vibe coder will just go 'sorry what is leenux?' and my joke will fall flat.

I agree btw, it will be a big rep damage like how NFTs damaged the idea of cryptocurrencies, and in the same note you saw how a lot of pro-cryptocurrency people disliked NFTs just because they saw this backlash (and the more naked grift of NFTs) coming.

On a related note, they (right wing govs i mean) are now quoting Singal to go after trans people. So 'good' times for the polite 'centist/grey/gray' debate bros with 'concerns'.

But like the rightwinger influencers who go 'wow a lot of people in this space are grifters' I expect none of them to change their mind and admit they fucked up, and apologize. (And I mean properly apologize here, aka changing, attempting to fix harms, and even naming names).

How do you keep from going crazy yourself?’

When you start writing manifestos it is prob time to quit.

Yeah seems that for llms a linear increase in capabilities requires exponentiel more data, so we not getting there via this.

Also all the top results for most searches are blatant autoplag slop with no informational value now.

I just encountered a thing like this. A subject where no matter what you asked about it this one site was in the top 5 with just incomprehensible posts. Like every sentence on its own made sense, but there was nothing more than that. It read like constant promotional 'before the actual meat of the article' stuff but forever. Was really weird.

yeah I tried looking up his writings on the subject but substack was down. Counted that as a win and stopped looking.

Also, I assume it gets even worse, traffic is I think one of those hard problems, those complex coordination problems which we are not great at solving using tech, if either people are their own free agents like cars, or like cars have a mass (that is why you just can't use tcp/ip like stuff, but trains/public transport and the global goods transportation network works a lot better apart from the last mile sort of stuff). AI is not going to be able to do shit. Hell, this is prob going to be a problem like 'im going to make sex simple' (See also the alt text). Just pure AI magical thinking stuff.

Also, use bicycles you cowards. Death to the cult of car.

Also hard to show a rich inner world when you are constantly in trouble financially, possessions wise, mh and personal safety and interacting with someone who could be one of the bad people who doesnt think you are human, or somebody working in a soup kitchen for the photo op/ego boost. (This assumes his interactions go a little bit further than just saying 'no' to somebody asking for money).

So yeah bad to see hn is in the useless eaters stage.

Still sad the SMRs will not work out but good you posted it here. Lol at the HN guy going 'these are strawmen', buddy you build websites perhaps the guy in the field (with a physics phd) knows a little bit more.

I have no idea where he stood on the bullshit bad faith free speech debate from the past decade, but this would be funny if he was an anti cancel culture guy. More things, weird bubble he lives in if the other things didn't get pushed back, and support for the pro trans (and pro Palestine) movements. He is right on the immigration bit however, the dems should move more left on the subject. Also 'Blutarsky' and I worried my references are dated, that is older than I am.

I actually missed it myself. I had seen here face a few times, wasn't that interested so the suggestions went away, and later I heard about her going into the anti-woke stuff. (The most recent thing, her support of the 'war on science' book (no not MAGA, the wokes!) was funny in a 'read the room/news, endless screaming' way).
