Because the vibe coded stuff is sometimes great, sometimes it breaks stuff, sometimes it breaks things that we fixed multiple times earlier. The PRs are too large, nobody can review that mess and you better be on call for your deployment. Maybe it will get better, maybe not. I dont know yet.

The massive PRs is something that probably has to end. You can ai generate smaller changes in reviewable PR sizes. It probably even helps the AI code review tools to break the work in to smaller logical chunks too.

Yes you can, and this is still the most realistic use of AI llms, but this is a 2x multiplier, not 10x or 20x

What about that means AI coding is a fad?

Oh, it won't get any better. LLMs already trained on every bit of code ever published, they won't get any more material.

They can be reinforced with best practices and context windows etc will increase.

If anything the snake is eating it’s own tail because now it’s training on vast amounts of its new slop…dragging down the average bar of quality.

Happened to me at least three times the past 14 days. I point out where it made a design decision that causes data loss. «Oops my mistake»

i dont disagree with the problem, but this sort of Idempotency-Key header is kind of outsourcing the de-duplication to the client. If the client sends a different request with same Idempotency-Key header its the user's (client's) fault. Its also circumventing the fact that its the effect that should apply to give the same state, you could design the API itself to be idempotent wrt to some other property such as the transaction id. The designs I have seen using an explicit Idempotency-Key header has usually been added on after launch.


advertisers often get their own tracking code running on the site, or at least a handshake (tracking pixel) that lets the ad companies track your traversal on nearly every site.


Did not work in Firefox on Linux, but it runs on Chrome.

Have to admit, I dont get it. I tried it with 3 landscape photos I have and the results were nowhere close to the results in the demo, but that just speaks to the model.

Regardless, its very cool as a browser tech showcase.


Thanks for trying it out! How much ram do you have? Pretty sure it's the only issue that can occur. The quality varies depending on the image too, so it might have been unlucky photos :(


same, my iphone 13 mini was great except for the fact i had to charge it twice a day in the end.


I still have my iPhone mini 12, in the desperate hope that it can last until Apple have another outbreak of common sense and decide that a mini iPhone has a place in the market.

Battery is starting to fade during the day, despite minimal use.

I think replaceable batteries should be mandatory and 10 years of security updates. In these times, phones are really expensive (however you pay for them) and we shouldn’t stand for planned obsolescence in any form.


I recently broke my 12 Mini beyond reasonable repair during a battery replacement recently (mostly just bad luck, I've been doing my own mobile repair for a long time). I bought a 17 to replace it, and promptly returned it in favor of a used 13 Mini. It's wild to me how large the smallest mainstream phone you can buy these days has become.


Used 13 Minis were exorbitantly priced here. 450USD for a '85%'+ battery and a new iphone 16 was 1000


Well, the research is sometimes 10x quicker with AI assistant. But not always. Building phase is maybe 20-100% quicker for me at least, depending on the complexity of the project. Green field without 15 years of legacy that is never allowed to break is many times faster, always has been.


I have used quite a bit of Gtk and QT, and have had to touch X11 or Wayland very little directly, EXCEPT for one case where I wanted to provide a global hotkey...


Which is kind of understandable as Wayland tries to be more secure: and thus in Wayland not all keyboard events are propagated to all applications (that's what X11 does). I think it's a good idea to put security first in this iteration of FLOSS desktop technology.


Well kind of. It'll be several decades before we see any practical benefits - at the moment once you have local execution you can do anything you want - accessing other apps or even root is trivial.


Phoenix[0] has some good ideas about how X11 could be made more secure without breaking backwards compatibility. I don't understand what was so fundamentally broken about X11 as a protocol that it required a replacement protocol.

We can argue about limitations of X.org's implementation of the X server, but, as demonstrated by Phoenix, X.org doesn't have to be the only X server implementation.

I have no idea, but my impression was that basically nobody wanted to put in work on X11 anymore.


He complained there is no way to do the easy thing in Wayland - there is a way: Gtk and QT


How do you make a global hotkey in all compositors with Gtk or Qt?


...which is overkill when you only need a Vulkan or GL canvas which spans the windows client area... and even with GTK or Qt your app still stands out like a sore thumb on the "other" desktop environment because the window chrome doesn't match the rest of the system.


we are not as complicated as the national grid, I have been here for nearly 10 years now, and our outages have gone from single cause, two causes, or now its nearly always 3 things that need to go wrong at the same time.


great ffmpeg introduction, thanks
