I'm right there with you!

Ok, i just generally disagree with the premise. Why does it have to be "100% vibe coded" or "0% vibe coded"? There is a very happy medium that is getting ignored here. As a coder with various language experiences, i can just get like a good kick and a template with Claude and continue in any language i want and have the LLM do the redundant parts. As someone with some soldering experience, i could have an LLM cook up and explain a circuit that might have taken me months trying to mangle myself. I think LLMs empower creativity more than ever, and creative people can have a wonderful time with LLMs softening the initial headbanging and tedious redundancies of any project.

It's not that simple. Claude Code allows you to use the Anthropic monthly subscription instead of API tokens, which for power users is massively less expensive.

"Vibe Coding" seems like magic at first but starts falling apart realllll quick at a certain complexity level or if you want to make changes to existing code. If you don't keep an eye on your architecture, you will end up with a bowl of untangleable spaghetti code and some comically terrible engineering choices. That said, agentic coding in the right hands with well defined tasks can have you outputting days / weeks of work in one session; it's not every task, it's not every session, but if you can drive the "idiot savant" in the right direction it's truly an awe-striking and almost alien process to behold.

Yeah. We're entered the Smartphone stage: "You want the new one because it's the new one."

Very generic, broad and bland presentation. Doesn't seem to have any killer features. No video or audio capabilities shown. The coding seems to be on par with Claude 3.7 at best. No mention of MCP which is about the most important thing in AI right now IMO. Not impressed.

This thread was about the livestream and the other thread was about the article, disagree but ok

Yeah, they sure clicked away from it very fast and kept adjusting the scrollbars. It was confusing what it was trying to display. Furthermore, the prompt contained "Canvas" and "SVG" while as someone with webdev experience these are certainly familiar concepts, i wouldn't consider those in the "casual lexicon" for a random user trying to help a middle schooler with homework. I'm not impressed...

IMO Claude 3.7 could have done a similar / better job with that a year ago.

I don't always make 6502(ish) errors, but when i do, it's usually the memory address instead of the immediate! It's a very common and easy mistake to make, and i believe Chuck Peddle himself deeply regretted the (number symbol, pound sign, hashtag) #$1234 syntax for immediate values. I made # appear bright red in my IDE, it helps, a bit... Even the ASM gods at Rare fell victim to the same issue!

AWS? Possibly. They have a huge head start and haven't lost much ground yet. The warehouses and physical delivery? No way in hell. Any competing physical infrastructure would take a decade from the first shovel hitting the ground today.

> AWS is the money maker ... everything else is incidental.

Considering Amazon kills and steals all kinds of small businesses and ideas that would be a godsend for Americans.

> Andy Jassy ... said working faster was essential because competitors would gain ground if Amazon doesn’t give customers what they want “as quickly as possible” and cited coding as an activity where A.I. would “change the norms.”

Bruh, no competitor is going to set up an army of datacenters and warehouses on the gargantuan scale of amazon anytime soon... What do customers want? How about fixing your search function accuracy and policing the disgusting influx of scam products with fake reviews!!! Ugh. How about you get AI working on THAT jackknife...

The lockout chip(s) are physical chip(s) on the cart and in the console that communicate directly with each other on the cart pins. The CPU is not involved. It's not a "secret key" in the cryptography sense per se.

Incredibly good video editing, unbridled insantiy, cheers!

With how they are releasing models and keeping the open source spirit alive? I hope to god they are. Let the quants cook!
