It will just be replaced by more vibe code in the future. Code is like toilet paper now.

If something happens to Taiwan, we won't regret being able to produce these chips domestically. If AI keeps growing like it does, it might even trigger a conflict.

Waymo maybe could have gone with Lyft (or built their own app) if the deal with Uber fell through, which is probably why Uber accepted it. It's not "help Waymo get to market or not," it's "help Waymo get to market or risk somebody else (or Waymo themselves) passing on Waymo's value to customers and taking the market." Especially with the chance that Uber might get to play gatekeeper in the future, it's a hard deal to turn down.

An idea is that nations are storing the encrypted packets now to decrypt them once they have access to a number of sufficiently fast quantum computers (store/harvest now decrypt later). This assumes the data will still be useful in the future.

I made a flash cards toy app that can read data from Quizlet. I made a shitty MVP, and I'm watching people use it, and I'm seeing where they stop. With Anki, I stop immediately. No real world user is installing software like that on their device, the homepage just screams virus to someone unfamiliar with opensource. This is where I was after two hours; check back in in two weeks.

I completely agree; the biggest issues on my issue tracker regard better labeling the site and making a more explanatory homepage. You create terms split by the character in the top left, and then (ideally), learn teaches them to you.

e.g.

do, act, drive ago, agere, egi, actus

love, like amo, amare, amavi, amatus

dare audeo, audere, ausus sum

hear audio, audire, audivi, auditus

fall, perish cado, cadere, cecidi, casus

sing, sound cano, canere, cecini, cantus

You first get multiple choice questions, then short answer questions. Later, we want it to show you the flashcards first so you don't have to read through a boring list of terms. Critically, it keeps you from learning more than five novel terms in a row, which is proven to help immensely compared to flashcards.

If you want to learn more, google retrieval learning.

to be fair it isn’t even implemented in chrome
