The automatic transmission gives us more dexterity for... what exactly? Fiddling with the dash, reaching for something in the back seat, texting? The best case human has much more control but the average case seems worse off.
In poker some people are gambling. Some may be self-ware, but many aren't and misunderstand why they win or lose. Poker inconsistently and unreliably rewards gambling, much like vibe-coding.
It's the perfect metaphor? Playing correctly/optimally is +EV. But nobody starts there, and many people don't ever get there.
The main difference is that you're exploiting your own weaknesses, rather than others'. Limitations in typing speed, information gathering, pattern recognition.
same. hopefully it doesn't change frequently
I did the same with Select. No picture and the API doesn't make sense. The options are specified twice.
Was not expecting it to be a single index.html. Pretty cool:
The code is brutal https://github.com/amilich/isometric-city/blob/main/src/comp...
Yeah this entire thread has a weird vibe. OP is clearly a competent engineer to have wrangled LLMs into building this (whether a 5 day old vibe code lib can survive this initial virality will be interesting to see), but seeing so much engagement with prototypical vacant LLM output is eerie
I can't help but think that Steam Machine/SteamOS/Linux gaming in general is severely bottlenecked by anti-cheat. Nearly all serious multiplayer games require Windows specific anti-cheat.
Maybe there's a critical mass of Linux users that will force AC support. Maybe new cheating paradigms (DMA) will obsolete local AC. I suppose one of those could happen in the next 10 years.
I razz CEOs in jest, but my point is: This is an example of a good phishing attempt? ChatGPT could surely find and fix most of the red flags I called out. Perhaps the red flags ensure they don't phish more people than they can productively exploit.
I don't know the gullibility of the average tech CEO but this doesn't strike me as a very convincing phishing attempt.
* "We've received reports about the latest content" - weird copy
* "which doesn't meet X Terms of Service" - bad grammar lol
* "Important:Simply ..." - no spacing lol
* "Simply removing the content from your page doesn't help your case" - weird tone
* "We've opened a support portal for you " - weird copy
There should so many red flags here if you're a native english speaker.
There are some UX red flags as well, but I admit those are much less noticeable.
* Weird and inconsistent font size/weight
* Massive border radius on the twitter card image (lol)
* Gap sizes are weird/small
* Weird CTA
We've been on the hunt for this AI host since opting into the test several hours ago, but the robot has yet to appear.
An entire article about a beta feature they haven’t even seen? I normally wouldn’t read Ars but I’m on flight with nothing else to do and still feel swindled
I went straight to HN for commentary because I know exactly what is happening on Reddit and for the first time can't bear to look.
Oh wow - I wanted to build a game just like this not too long ago but never found the time. Wishlisted!
The "critique" is nuts. Surely AI generated. If I didn't trust the domain, I'd assume the author to be incredible for seriously referencing something like this.
Look at the critique [0] and then look at the code [1].

"Where are the examples" is a straw man. Imagine the ways a political enemy might exploit limitless access to the attention of 140M Americans. The calculus seems to be that a false negative will be much more catastrophic than a false positive.
Just trying to shoehorn alexa into as many domains as possible
It happened outside of Alexa too. Every team with a public facing product was directed (it seemed) to come up with some sort of Alexa integration. It was usually dreamed up and either a) never prioritized or b) half assed because nobody (devs, PMs, etc.) actually thought it made any sense.
I just check the feature requests for the iOS client I’m using and this has been requested [1] …three years ago.
Someone should honestly script this. Assuming this is not already that
Brave search has been so terrible for me. I’ve very quickly been conditioned to append “!g” to all omnibar searches, even in non-brave browsers! (This tells brave to use Google)
Those photos are quite supportive of OP. There's much more realistic diversity in the units: presence of light, color of light, objects blocking the light.
The uniformity in the NK photo is bizarre.
Yes I just started dabbling with copilot and I feel much the same as when I began really leveraging prettier.
I’m similarly surprised to see such an ingrained skill undergo such rapid change. And it’s funny because for me prettier was originally just meant to fix the chaos that is every dev having their own style/editor preferences.
1.1k open issues. OOF
Off topic but every once and a while I'm made aware of the impact prettier has had on my typing. It's so hard to write code without a tool like prettier because formatting related keystrokes have largely been removed from my muscle memory. You basically end up writing a sort of shorthand.
Anyone have experience with/opinions on Apache Cordova? [1]
It seems like it would solve most of the PWA issues. Although I vaguely recall reading that Apple is not too fond of apps that are basically just wrapped web views.
I'm stoked to be learning about the real Eliza, after being surreptitiously exposed via the Zachtronics game [0]. The game has a fascinating dystopian/scifi take where a company provides AI therapy through human "proxies" that simply vocalize the AI response.
Obligatory pedantry

Agreed. It's hard to believe that marketing pages, after decades of evolution and testing, haven't landed on what users actually want, rather than what they say they want.
Scrolling is such a natural behavior for internet natives. Being able to leverage a large screen to visually compare things has its place, but the article uses a horrible example:
Our condensed product page prototype took the same information from the original dispersed page and arranged it in a 2x2 grid that allowed users to compare multiple services simultaneously, without having to remember the details of each service.
What's to compare? They're disparate services.
I do like the example of the product specifications. But that was more of an objective usability issue: requiring more clicks for more information.
Crazy idea. 2 factor authentication for the elderly where the second factor is, where applicable, a younger family member. It's socially irresponsible to allow the tech-illiterate to move their live savings around on the internet by themselves.
The article references Lockdown mode [0] which appears to be Apple's solution for this (and other) class of zero days.
