I feel like they do and they don't at the same time. The buildings may look different, but city center rents driving out a lot of small local businesses, and leaving the same brands everywhere.
It doesn't do great on recent events it seems. The amusement park Walibi Belgium recently announced a company called RMC is doing a makeover of their wooden roller coaster, so I did a search for "walibi belgium rmc", and it found one very out-of-date article about earlier rumours, and a bunch of less relevant stuff.
I'm curious whether people feel like UX could at all be a differentiator here. like, sure, i can build a very quick crud app with Ai in an hour, but there are lots of UX decisions that, if not prompted in the right direction, AI just handles badly.
i guess the problem is that once a teamp goes through the process of figuring out good UX for a certain flow, which can take time, that UX then becomes trivial to copy.
This looks interesting! I understand not wanting to put out a narrated tour as the video, but being visually impaired, i find video demos without narration, that constantly move around/focus on different things hard to follow. It still might be worth putting a short screencast with you actually walkign through usijng the product and narrating it.
It's unfortunate that this is necessary. It should be obvious that wearing noise cancelling headphones in trafic, including as a pedestrian, is a bad idea.
I'm legally blind, so I have my own bias here, but I think people really over-rely on sight. If you do want to listen to something while walking around a city, I can highly recommend bone conduction headphones, that keep your ears unblocked.
If you just bell once or twice, and don't aggressively keep ringing, I'd never consider a bicycle bell in a shared space rude. I even consider it good manners, though as others have said, that varies between cultures.
Being visually impaired, though, I'm grateful for cyclists who use their bell. It's immediately clear. For some reason, my brain takes slightly longer to process someone yelling "on your left!" or similar, than just a quick "ring ring".
I guess? At least there you can review the plan, but is this planning mode any better at making architectural decisions than when you prompt an LLM and let it make the changes directly? (it might be, just not sure.)
> On projects where I have no understanding of the underlying technology (e.g. mobile apps), the code still quickly becomes a mess of bad choices. However, on projects where I know the technologies used well (e.g. backend apps, though not necessarily in Python), this hasn’t happened yet, even at tens of thousands of SLoC. Most of that must be because the models are getting better, but I think that a lot of it is also because I’ve improved my way of working with the models.
I wonder whether at some point we'll get a translation model, that translates relatively vague requests into sound architectural decisions, with some embedded knowledge of the environment you're building in, and that can ask clarifying questions when there are multiple options with different tradeoffs.
One thing I found as a somewhat experienced solver of cryptic crosswords, is that it was confusing that I couldn't just type an answer. I skipped the tutorial/lesson, because I didn't want an explanation of how cryptic clues work, I just wanted to solve one. So a little, inline explanation for first time visitors on how to solve them on this site might be good.
This is an interesting idea, and I'd love to see whether people come up with interesting stories/imaginations with this, but I feel very strongly pushed to engage before I've even properly explored the platform to see the potential. Like, all the stories seem to have their images locked, I assume until I make an account. Then there's also this mention of a pro subscription and some deal for the. firlst N subscribers. I'm not even sure yet if this a platform that's worth enough for me to make an account, let alone pay money for. I understand that image generation isn't cheap so you need to think about monetization early, but I suspect you'll need more ways for people to see the value of it without the commitment of even creating an account to have this become successful.
I can certainly believe that this is really an agent doing this, but I can't help that part of my brain is going "some guy i his parents' basement somewhere is trolling the hell out of us all right now."
This looks very neat indeed! Are there any plans to adding network limits? Like, you might want to avoid an agent running code that just requests a resource in a loop, or downloads massive amounts of data.
