IMO most modern engineering practices are cargo culture. I’m sure in 10 years we look back on today the same way we’d look back on the days before version control was common. We are in the emailing files around stage of development

incredible reach

> India and China share a disputed 3,440km (2,100-mile) boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This de facto border runs through remote and inaccessible natural paths along the Himalayas, passing through rivers, remote mountains and forest cover. It is ill-defined and its demarcations have remained a source of contention between two neighbours who fought a major war in 1962, in which India suffered a humiliating defeat.

Maybe OP can explain why with unlimited tokens neither OAI nor Anthropic have any first party apps other than the main Claude/chatgpt apps

There are only so many rust migrations you can do, at some point you gotta ship something user visible which means you have to deal with people which means the code was never the bottleneck even in 2014

Dude, this is AI psychosis. Just ask the LLM to write you a program (“compile”) and then you can run it locally forever

They’re not fundamentally different at all. In fact the paper is using existing models as a backbone and just providing a shortcut between the two ends of the pipeline

The vibe coded crap fills the same niche as the consonant slop brands on Amazon
