  It works well to get a simple working example of a tech you haven’t used before. Like a quicker alternative to searching Stack Overflow. “Vibe coding” a whole app seems like too much of a stretch for the current tech though. And whether or not it’s worth the money invested in it or the energy used to run it is another area where it seems vastly oversold.

  I agree, it makes a good alternative to a quick web search, at least for many cases. It’s not like search engines surface completely accurate information either, gotta verify and use common sense either way

  Pretty sure that’s how the product will work but they’ll just call it AI

  I’m a little confused about the mechanism of the speeders causing the disruption. Is it because when they cut in front of someone closely, it causes the driver to hit the brakes to make more room, thus triggering the chain reaction?

  This also why I don’t do whole disk encryption; it makes recovery impossible

  It will be good for nerds who want to run models locally. Definitely not a huge maker tho

  Maybe check out LibreWolf. It’s Firefox except with good defaults. Otherwise, it’s exactly the same

  It’s just a pretense to layoff staff and squeeze the remaining employees for more juice. They know it doesn’t work

  Sucks you can’t get Chinese kit in USA though. At least I’ve never seen it available; not sure if it’s outright banned or US suppliers just don’t carry it
