Gotta get a lot of downvotes here but I don't care, I stand by my opinions: this is the best example that not all vibe-coded apps are "slop". If you have enough experience (or are smart enough to speed-run experience), good ideas, good attention to details and decent taste you can totally vibe-code cool things that are worth sharing. This true/false dichotomic attitude towards apps you see here from many HNers where "written by hand: good/vibe-coded: bad no matter what" really rubs me the wrong way.

Look at how ads in Google SERP were before 2014 (and they already crossed "we won't put ads" line a few years before)

Now, well, if you do the same exact search, at least in my location (and with UBlock disabled) it's frankly a mess but must admit that sponsored links are not even the first thing you see. There is the AI result, then the Wikipedia result, then some random result, then the sponsored block with a flat headline separating it and then the organic results, I presume.

Collecting the dirty clothes will be an impossible task even for a T-1000, but god having some kind of little thing that can open the washing machine, separate the items by type, put the ones that can go in thee tumble-dryer there and hang the others, and then fold all of them once they are dry, and leave them in the same room (no need to put them in the wardrobes), it would be such a dream for me. But again, it's probably a sci-fi dream that, just as flying cars, will never make sense to actually produce.

Yes, but anything outside L4 or L5 will still need a driving license to drive the car. In 2015 I though that around 2035 that would be the case, but now I doubt it seriously.

Everybody's different, I guess, but for me this is absolutely a chore I would automate away, and I don't want to "force" another human being to do it for me.

Not enough to think that in 8 years there will be L5 autonomous cars available to be bought (at a reasonable price) where I live.

I don't know, was already bitten by this in ~2015 with self-driving cars and thinking that my kids will never ever need a driving license so now I'm really cautious on these topics.

I mean folding after it has been dried. I hate folding clothes. In my case luckily my wife doesn't mind (as I don't mind doing the rest of the process) but if in say 25 years from now there will be a relatively small and affordable folding appliance, I would totally buy it.

The first few second of the shirt folding arms trying to put the t-shirt properly on the table to start folding it are at the same time amusing and scaring.

What if the thing retrieves some anger-driven post from Reddit from its training data set and start literally to flip the table??

Come back when you have a family and you run a washing machine full of clothes per day.

That's why I owned Android phones ever since, but know with Google closing the system, it's losing what made it special.

First Android releases weren't bad at all. I'd say the UI was more 'classic'

Maybe in your test labs, but on real HW it was sluggish, laggy and barely usable. Source: I owned the original Samsung Galaxy and tried some friend's HTC Magic and they were horrible. The first real good Android phone, perf wise, was IME the Galaxy S II.

I think Gen6 should be good enough for basically everything from what I read, but I haven't tried one live yet. The other option is a Pixel 9-something once the 11 is out. but I like the e/OS support of the Fairphone and at some point I want to jump ships.

Fairphone 6 maybe? It's on my radar when my Pixel 6a dies

There was a very steep curve to access the Internet back then (both economically and technically), and that was a very big filter (although it let through many smart assholes anyway).

Some religions ephasize such things.

Theoretically, the religion of most of the voters of the current POTUS emphasizes and almost mandate being charitable and help the poor.

Yeah, and that's exactly the point: they should be regulated if they are ads driven and focused on engagement at all cost.

Now, how to properly regulate and enforce it in a way that's not going to undermine other rights and freedom, that's not an easy task for sure.

But email is not centralized, and it grew when Internet was really different. Mastodon - which was born in this new Internet - is used by a very small fraction of Twitter/IG/TikTok/Facebook users. I mean, TikTok and Mastodon started both in 2016 and see the difference now...

They are fundamentally different because they are not centralized and, if they are going to be centralized at some point, they will need to find a revenue stream because giving access for free to the whole world, literally, is technically impossible.

Some nitpicker will probably come with "and what about...??" because we are on HN but I think you basically nailed the definition.

And yes, they are toxic. And yes, just as other toxic products (i.e. cigarettes or alcohol) there should be an ongoing discussion on its regulation for both adults and teenagers. Even if it's not 100% enforceable.

Thanks for the correction, edited the comment

Looks like we have a lot of British "nationalists" leavers downvoting everything here. I mean, you comment is basically a fact: Brexit implied losing Schengen, it was part of it from day 0. Putting back Gibraltar in Schengen is a defeat for Brexit supporters.

EDIT: not Schengen, sorry, although I'm pretty sure I just used my national (European) ID to go to London many many years ago and not my passport.

And, to a lesser extent, Canary Islands.

The USB-C "hate" for the "one cable, much protocols and transports" you read on HN are just in the power-users bubble. For the rest of humanity, USB-C is a blessing with very few drawbacks, especially considering that the biggest usage by far is as a power cable. Data transport is a secondary usage that some people would probably never use in their lives.

Medical emergency might well be somebody committing suicide (or trying to).

Isn't part of the human coding that Super Dario tells us LLM are going to replace also made of what you are saying GP is saying?

Thank you!

we can compare this to 2-3 recent (mini) revolutions: internet, mobile, cloud.

I would not put "cloud" at the same level as Internet and mobile. Cloud is just a layer on top of hardware that in the end makes almost no difference for Internet to exist and operates. Said differently: I doubt the world would be different nowadays without "the cloud". But it would definitely be different without Internet or mobile (smart)phones.

Now you can download free open source software, that works better than DALL-E and runs fine on a plain old video card, and for orders of magnitude lower cost.

Ok, I completely missed that one. Can you point me in the right direction?

If you think like this - and you are most probably right IMO as well - then you should somehow share GP feelings, because LLMs are made by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic and Bun was bought by Anthropic and ported to Rust by Anthropic.

TBH in hindsight it seems that the Bun acquisition was also for the PR stunt they just did with the Rust porting.
