Wtf did I just read?

The fact you started the text with is true: there aren't vibecoded complex apps, because vibecoding doesn't work.

The rest of the text is an incoherent rambling that looks like two people arguing and doesn't make any sense.

You should probably stop using gen AI and seek therapy.


The purpose of not wasting memory is so we have free memory to use productively.

What's the point of having 64-128GB of RAM if we're using apps that eat 10GB to do the same things we were doing 20 years ago using a few MB?


Believing something to be real that isn't is basically what psychosis means.


I do find it quite ironical that the thread is about the fact that Mitchell states that there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis and then we see solenoid's comments and they do seem to prove a few part of it.

Hackernews acts like a great litmus test indeed.


A very good alternative to this vibecoded slop.


It's slop though, which is even worse than the ads.


Looking at the code (https://github.com/davmlaw/uBlock/commit/fa2de61ae69927591db...), there's not much I would do differently writing by hand. It breaks some formatting/style conventions from the rest of the file, which I would probably flag in an organizational code review... but otherwise the logic is solid.

So is this "slop" simply because it's written by an LLM, even if the output is solid? Would it NOT be slop if it was worse code, but written fully manually? Honestly, I'm not sure I know the answer.

The least it could do was classify images to some categories with a small vision model smh. They stopped using AI too soon.


The fact someone who works on Bun is willing to create and even push a branch generated by a stochastic parrot is very telling of the direction the project is going.

Doesn't matter if it's "experimental", it's a dumb experiment that shouldn't exist.

Do you think the same about bitcoin? Where do you draw the line as to what programs are allowed to be written?


Why are you treating branches as if they are holy? This is all OSS, people work on this in their free time, git is got and people can use branches as they like to experiment and share their experiments with others. If you don't like the code, don't use it you damn leech.


Underplaying AI, overselling what an experimental branch is, and suggesting it's representative of the entire project, all while suggesting people shouldn't even consider new tools and methodologies. Where to start.


> or can't be used (private projects)

As if they cared about that


The problem with floating point comparison is not that it's nondeterministic, it's that what should be the same number may have different representations, often with different rounding behavior as well, so depending on the exact operations you use to arrive at it, it may not compare as equal, hence the need for the epsilon trick.

If all you're comparing is the result from the same operations, you _may_ be fine using equality, but you should really know that you're never getting a number from an uncontrolled source.

FTFY


Didn't know about Pixelorama, looks interesting.

Libresprite (since aseprite went evil) has been the only editor I can use for over a decade, glad there are others now.


They went evil? How? Folks always seem to like them


They turned proprietary. That's why libresprite exists.


Oh. So they're not actually hurting anybody, they're just offering goods for sale...

Evil is a strong word to use for offering goods for sale
