Why buy Japanese bootlegs when webrips are on popular torrent sites?

On the other hand, customers can become frustrated at being unable to trade when they need during an outage to and go to a competitor.

Thing is, it already was getting that adoption, and network effect can largely take care of the rest. Also, some it’s tied to a real phone number, geographic price differentiation is trivial to implement.

And now it’s flagged. This is why we can’t have anything fun. Hacker News doesn’t do humor. I could go on for a while about how brilliant the satire and self deprecating humor on Anthropic’s part is in this piece. But all people seem to see is “ewww gross vibe coding“

> it is poorly done at best.

And that’s the point. It’s satire.

He’s saying, “Use silly toys to make bad art, and while you’re at it claim it leads to enlightenment, like the vibe coding evangelists say it does.”

Because it’s a joke. It’s satire, and it hits the nail on the head of so-called vibe coding enlightenment.

I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out if this was _actually_ THE Rick Ruben, and then another 5 wondering why the f he was writing about vibe coding.

For those who don't know, Rick Ruben is one of the most influential record producers of all time. His specialty is prompting people to help them make their art. So I suppose it follows that he's taken an interest in doodling with vibe coding.

I find that this lives right on the lines of inside joke and satire and insightful and serious. I can't stop chuckling to myself as I read them.

Thank you! The link is amazing.

I figured it was something like this. I went to go demo it specifically because I had a fantasy of using Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. The demo quickly changed my mind and got me to consider all of the crazy home/office/mobile workspace upgrades I could do with a $3500 budget.

One aspect of computer screen eye strain is the extra-ocular muscles not exploring using their full range on motion and instead being focused on the center of their field of vision non-stop. I went for a demo of the Apple Vision Pro hoping to have my whole field of view be one giant screen. Instead, the center is sharp and the periphery is extremely blurry. I was told this is to save on video processing resources. To make something sharp you have to move my whole head to look face it directly. It didn't even come close to having as much useful field of view as a nice setup with a couple of monitors. It was really not what I was hoping for.

The article promises that AR glasses will "keep the visual field broad and wide." Maybe products will fix this in future iterations, but I'm not too hopeful for the near future.

This advice is unhelpful. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Cell phones are a useful tool for coordinating and communicating.

But it got flagged and deleted. Yay moderation!

I really, really, want to go into a bunch of detail on exactly why this calculation is so incredibly naive. More as a personal thought exercise than for internet fame (since this will be buried under a buried comment).

Maybe I'll find the time...

But, like everyone else is saying, putting things in a datacenter in a resilient way for a high profile, high bandwidth, multi-national app is not the same as buying some ssd, or even running a hetzner instance.

Yeah I was really perplexed by that line. I had to stop and scratch my head.

Maybe they mean, "brighter than daylight ambient light levels indoors"?

I've been getting the itch to go deeper into KSP after a scratching the surface of the first one (simple landing on Mun). I was considering buying 2. What's your review against playing KSP 2?
