Vibecoded slop with terrible performance.

Use https://chiptune.app.

>Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy

Yeah I'm pretty sure the people who made keygens and chiptunes would hate today's AI and LLM. This is a tribute to chiptunes and keygen music as much as putting a picture of your grandma into an AI tool to animate it would be a tribute to her.

I warned people about 4 years ago that this would happen. Checking people's IDs online for accessing certain kinds of porn on telegram and Discord is much more popular than you would have thought.

I told these admins this was immensely irresponsible. They said they just didn't want to get sued by an angry parent whose child joined some porn group. I was mocked endlessly. Now this. I'm not surprised.

Nuclear is indeed the answer. Nuclear power is incredibly safe nowadays and it also provides kinetic inertia, something that solar and wind power lack (they are all DC based and only produce AC when using an inverter, which is wasteful too).

Unfortunately I think it's already too late for nuclear. People who don't understand energy grids are voting for anti-nuclear policies, with very predictable results.

I literally said I'm fine with using LLMs for the frontend, but I think this should be disclosed clearly.

The interface looks vibecoded. I have no problem with people vibecoding things. In fact, I have zero frontend skills, so I rely on AI to be able to make easy-to-use interfaces. However, I feel like this should be clearly and prominently displayed in the project page.

Furthermore it is a little off-putting to see a vibecoded UI because I have very little confidence that the rest of the backend code is not vibecoded. I know I am possibly being unfair, but this is how it looks to me. If the developer tells me they didn't use AI at all, I would believe it.

Yeah, I don't want background sync. I mean, iOS is built upon the idea that any task in the background might be killed at any time and without warning by the OS. This is so the OS is able to manage battery and memory effective.

You can of course dislike this, but not even native apps allow background sync anyway, so of course web apps would not be allowed to do this either.

No, it really is not that easy. Check out China, and read up on the Spanish housing crisis. "Just build more" works only sometimes, as demonstrated in those counter-examples. Housing is massive societal and sociological problem with no simple fix. Furthermore, in many circles, another proposal is to cut red tape. You know, housing in the US already is among the least affordable and lowest quality in the developed world. But some people really insist that going back to asbestos and lead pipes would make housing cheaper.

And don't get me wrong, asbestos and lead are wonderful construction materials. Cheap, durable, and high quality. It's just a shame it causes all sorts of health complications when we use them, right? I mean, it would definitely make housing cheaper, but also cause all kinds of health problems.

"right to compute"

Oh cool!

Look inside

No mention of:

- Self-repair

- Self-service

- Hardware and software modifications

- Protecting consumers from proprietary anti-circumvention tools

- Bolstering open source

- Better access to technology in early ages (through funding primary schools and libraries)

- Dedicated computer and Internet crisis response teams to tackle disinformation, cyberattacks, cyberbullying, and state-sponsored attacks

- Improving citizen's access to End-to-End encryption software - Sovereign AI and software

Very cool, Montana. What a load of nothing.

I think it's a gimmick that Samsung will cut out in future models for cost savings reasons. Like Samsung ditched the edge displays, or the Bluetooth in their S-Pen, or like Apple ditched 3D touch.

State of the art literally just means that it is the latest and most capable, compared with peers.

As such, China launched DeepSeek R1, and they kind of broke the web, because it was pretty good compared with OpenAI, but also fully self-hostable. The self-hostable OpenAI and Meta models just aren't very good, Grok has nothing self-hostable, and I think Gemini only has a small model released.

Meanwhile China has the best self-hostable models, up there with Mistral.

So yes, Chinese AI is SOTA. Maybe not better than the American cloud-based models, but definitely SOTA for self-hostable ones.

Also I think you are wrong about "actual practice". Chinese AIs work great. They are not perfect, but OpenAI Codex also messes up a lot.
