We have RUINED the food industry. It started with gig-work delivery. Restaurants will never recover from GrubHub and ghost kitchens. Food quality and service died years ago.

Now, they don't have to pay for or manage delivery people, or pay anyone to make their menus for them.

There are no consequences to lying. People have a bad experience sure, but they'll forget next time they order off grubhub and simply search for "burrito near me" and click on the first good looking food.

Oh we aren't really planning to. This was purely a vibe coding thing for fun. I mentioned I wanted an airport simulator similar to another game we both play. He started vibe coding one. So I started vibe coding one lol. His was in straight up dotnetcore, mine in unity. We got interestingly far but both kind of slowly let it go, they weren't high quality.

The server wont start for me. "ERROR: Application startup failed. Exiting." "mlx-vlm-server stopped with status 3"

Both me and my friend have been racing eachother to create airport simulators. Wildly on-topic for me.

Google splits with the creator 50-50. If you got paid $1000, so did Google. And given their hosting infrastructure, network, and other tools, I would say it's a miracle they don't charge to upload.

The models are the least valuable part of all of this.

Of course. Maybe not successfully but a "virus" is just software. If it runs software, it runs software, full stop. Maybe the same APIs are not available or behave differently, so it may be buggy or non-functional, but that's true of Half-Life here too.

These are not the same.

It did though. Look at it now. The crash was incredibly short lived, and if you try to point it out on a graph of the last 30 years, you won't be able to find it.

Am I correct it looks like this was published 3 days ago? They made that video.. in essentially 2 days?

I very much disagree that it's coming. I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works. There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market, where things like EPS mean absolutely nothing and speculation no longer requires actual returns.

To protect the corruption scandal already at play. It's not about the company, it's about protecting the church.

I just released a UI framework based on VST designs. https://analogui.com/

Why is this upvoted.

Local AI will catch up. Unless we can't get our hands on hardware anymore, which is a legitimate concern I have.

Xbox/Microsoft Game Pass actually automatically canceled for me when I hadn't used it.

all objectively better names

Part of the issue is that there's a massive variety between peppers, and genetic diversity is incredibly wide, making it nearly impossible to determine the exact type of pepper you have. There are a few different universities and governments that "certify" peppers, but they aren't connected in any way.

lol I kind of thought it made it look like a hot sauce label. but maybe not.

I've learned in the course of making this site, that pretty much all information about peppers is garbage. That's half the reason I wanted to start this.

Ha! I very recently started something for peppers (Capsicum) https://pepperrank.com/

I feel like a lot of folks down here are focusing too much on the agent part. That's purely marketing. No one who worked on the service, I am sure, was building exclusively for agent usage.

This is simply the framing device that all marketing needs to present these days.

My Mac Studio with 96GB of RAM is maybe just at the low end of passable. It's actually extremely good for local image generation. I could somewhat replace something like Nano Banana comfortably on my machine.

But I don't need Nano Banana very much, I need code. While it can, there's no way I would ever opt to use a local model on my machine for code. It makes so much more sense to spend $100 on Codex, it's genuinely not worth discussing.

For non-thinking tasks, it would be a bit slower, but a viable alternative for sure.

...Does AI suck at front-end? This is news to me.

We already have Astro

We stood still on Intel 14nm for YEARS, then a few years of decent progress, and now this. Moore's law is taking a beating.

Unless maybe it's headless, then I still expect a component library or something. Still, I see nothing.

Im hearing a lot of opinion, but nothing convincing.

As others have said, that's just not the reality of a modern work machine. If I need a new GPU or more RAM, I'm positive I need everything else upgraded too

I guess they can't afford it, but my ego is telling me I could do this.
