Can we please stop with this oversimplified dichotomy, which is repeated ad nauseam in every thread?

There is more to software engineering than just "coding" or "building," and it's not even correct to oppose the two.

> Key Feature: Respects your terminal — Streaming Markdown and live tool output, reflowed for display in the terminal. Only redraws the current streaming line or the input area, native scrollback is preserved. Does not take over or mess with your terminal.

Thank you. I've been frustrated by harnesses hijacking the terminal and breaking basic features such as scrolling and text selection.

It even sends BEL when the agent completes, which makes so much sense, yet Pi never implemented it.

I'm definitely going to use it over the next few days and hopefully make the switch.

assumed_throwawon Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap

I haven't seen a language launch this controversial on HN since V-lang in 2019.

Glad we finally have some new drama to follow, definitely more entertaining than AI news.

assumed_throwawon Shutting down our public encrypted DNS

Unfortunately, Quad9 is censoring some domains in Europe (notably in France and Italy) following injunctions issued by rights holders [1]. That was not the case with Mullvad's DNS.

assumed_throwawon Any Human Ever – One life, drawn at random from all who have ever lived

I am genuinely puzzled as to why this kind of vibe-coded site are so popular on HN.

I consider the crowd here to be much smarter than I am, which is why I enjoyed the links that were shared and the discussions that followed.

The website is pretty, but the statistics and stories are the main point. Yet we are being fed hallucinated false claims, and somehow, that doesn't seem to be a problem...

I don't understand why it gets so many upvotes. We know Claude can create websites like this brilliantly now. The novel and interesting part is the transformation of the data. But if that part is sloppy, what's the point?

assumed_throwawon A Kantian Critique of "Sorry" by Justin Bieber

Pangram reports "100% AI" with "high" confidence...

assumed_throwawon A Kantian Critique of "Sorry" by Justin Bieber

I don't want this to seem like a witch hunt, but I got an unpleasant surprise when I ran the text through Pangram...

It got "100% AI" with "high" confidence, highlighting that it was likely "paraphrased or rewritten" [1].

I know Pangram gets a lot of flak, but so far I've found it to be pretty reliable, especially since they claim to have a very low false-positive rate.

I then compared it with the original version of the article published on the author's GitHub [2], but got the same disappointing result [3].

And now I'm stuck. I don't know whether I should believe Pangram or the author of the article...
