I am sort of a no UI (except browser) user for a very long time now, and vim is still incredibly useful.

Granted, the language servers are getting dusted, but it's much nicer to write goals in markdown in vim and send it to LLM in a self-written harness CLI; and even look at the results in the same way. All unix. LLM is just the latest toolbox addition.

You're describing the mac mini/studio with some facelift.

But why should apple invest in developing their own models? Why would it be correct?

Or phrase it in a very similar ask, why don't they invest in power plants? The model space is truly crowded, what do they gain or recover suppose they are SOTA? Across the Pacific they are pumping out free models that are only 6-12 months behind. What business sense does it make for Apple to develop their own models?

If you end up with 2 to 3 times more code. That is HORRIBLE, because it means about 50-66% of the code is otherwise unnecessary. Those are eventually going to become unmaintainable garbage.

However, if you get 2 to 3 times the code in the interim, that's probably less than what's needed. I find myself cycle through almost 10x-20x amount of code implementations to get what I want which is actually less code, simple solution and desired behavior.

Given a specific behavior, there are usually just 1 simplest implementation, whether done by human or AI. However, there are 100 ways to do it with more complexity and either handwritten or AI slop, it will mean pain down the line. We used to have a lot of handwritten complexity because of certain design pattern culture, but they used to be contained because the ability to generate them is costly. Now it's much more risky and therefore more important to have simplicity as the guiding principle in ALL projects.

The issue with these kind of porting is edge case bugs - far smaller project/physic simulation has hit the same thing especially when original code isn't exactly clean, or sometimes only worked because of a logic bug.

This means you can play for maybe 10 minutes on the happy path but just as you are getting into the zone either a CTD or some strange event would make the game/simulation unplayable.

And while debugging is made easier, it's much more effort than telling the model to convert the code. Hence it's usually not done in these demos.

This article is rated 100% on my AI smell meter, making it less trustworthy despite convincing arguments.

For instance, I'm now really only sure that author measured a 2000 ppm CO2 in a meeting room once. Everything else could just be LLM trying to invent convincing argument.

Thank you - I was very close but thanks to chores and availability haven't pulled the trigger. You are very convincing.

> When I walk into my office and sit at my desk, I’m choosing to be there. When I walk away, I have a door I can close, and a life outside the room that the digital world is no longer allowed to reach.

Being intentional is hard, and a little friction helping it is welcome. But I do hope for myself that I can be intentional in everything that I do (this includes having fun, being with family, and even doomscrolling).

That's a natural result of introducing LLM to current standard software development without modifying the rest of it (the part that doesn't involve creating code).

I think at the end of this we'll have a new software engineering paradigm.

Mostly nobody now worry about binaries or instructions because those are for the compilers, even undefined behavior are mostly ignored.

You can either tailor the development pattern for LLM, or have LLM come write for the same old development pattern. I think there is going to be a difference.

That would only works until it doesn't. The suppliers got supplier too and those in turn have their own supplier. I don't know about any specific contract but I bet there's a force majeure or price excluding input cost somewhere.

Read the whole article expecting it to explain how it would have changed, was disappointed to not read that.

While I appreciate the positivity, but I've honestly grown to appreciate grammar mistakes. Just like it's not X, it's Y indicated AI, those indicated that the effort behind was human.

Honestly, no need to write 4000 words if the story can be told in 400. The story is what matters, not word count or "flow".

It's honestly unbelievable how people continue to paste stuff like this. Do they not know that credibility is lost instantly?

That commit count alone should not become any problem for infrastructure, even for Azure. They probably developed some ungodly mess with actions that did not/could not translate very well on Azure infrastructure.

Depend on your definition of vibe coding - if it means code came out from a LLM vs. keyboard, you can bet that most updated software had some of it now.

But if you mean "Built me a GTA6", the answer is zero, because LLMs simply does not have that kind of capability.

> Being behind just a little bit can have exponential consequences.

That seems to be the argument of Dario, Sam et. al., but I'm not ready to believe it. Time will tell, but this can be a marathon and Anthropic and OpenAI is in getting ready to sprint the last lap of the first mile.

Spot on. There's a certain level of drinking the kool-aid or getting high on their own supply. Anthropic is a lot worse than OpenAI but OpenAI had to go through rounds of shedding.

bepr: https://github.com/Aperocky/bepr. This allow shell access to your hosts behind NAT/Wifi with a server over outbound websocket, all by using the exact same package for client + server + user. Minimal footprint at 2mb binary size and wrapped as systemd/launchd service.

Made it to access my setup at home while I travel, without exposing any hosts. I'm aware there are other solutions, but this one you can control end to end at some setup cost.
