What is weird to me is that running your own assistant is a bit of a fad, or are you all still running them? I thought we were past openclaw already but this just looks like these companies chasing it.

No amount of pixel art will convince me to give up on the freedom to choose.

Unfortunately the flight plan is incorrect.

A lot of the vibecoded interactive experiences remind me of these interactive books i had as a kid where you would open different hidden parts to explore. At some point it gets boring, i do not want to click one million times to find the information I am looking for. So, it is not interactive, this is a chore.

And yet I have felt a general code quality decrease and overall enshittification of software products since 2023 when people were already using copilot. Or I am just biased to use that to justify any overengineered piece of shit code with that because I refuse to think any sane person would come up with such contrived code and I am looking at the wrong places.

Such claims cannot be trusted as long as these news drive the heat score and hype of the companies, because these will always be inherently subjective, even unconsciously to what they want to believe. Is it real or is it LARP

We go to lengths to complicate and make expensive the things that are not. A dumb phone costs 30/50 eur max. It does not have internet connectivity and it does not have maps. Use an smartphone for that. Use both. Strap them together. And it's still cheaper.

Food for the landfill

my bad, I re-read your comment now and it's clear that this was precisely your point.

Not to shit on the hype, but these are reasonably documented methods that surely are part of the training data

I am still unsure if the complexity is an inherent trait of any big organization or a byproduct of using kubernetes

Let me paraphrase the summary of Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen:

    It’s easy to write correct Ruby code, but to gain the fluency needed to
    write great Ruby code, you must go beyond syntax and absorb the “Ruby way”
    of thinking and problem solving

Doesn't it come from folks that are forced to work with dynamically-typed languages but can't be arsed to understand them?

I believe that all the speed gains are running on loaned time, and that time will need to be spent sooner or later.

I bet

In Neal Stephenson's fall or dodge in hell there's a timeline where the internet is so flooded by fake AI generated news that characters have their own agent both filtering info and maintaining their fake social presence.

The book in particular is of a debatable quality but I keep going back to those introductory chapters as prophetic the more we go into this.

Isn't this akin to including all the (missing) keywords from the prompt? YMMV but to me we have found the less optimized way of using LLMs

Regardless of my own view on these ethics, the quality of SQLite is for me a testament to the usefulness of truthfully adhering to a (sub)set of noble precepts.

A laptop with footnotes. Thanks, I would like a computer

The same reason I would not use a proprietary text editor applies to harnesses. It's enough of a constraint to use a proprietary service, for me the line is at the tooling. Sunk cost and all it's things.

Prompting AI feels a bit like that feeling I had when I was copypasting random javascript and java applets for my first website. The website had MIDI, a scrolling status bar on the bottom, particles that followed the mouse, you name it. Never understood any of it, nor made me deep dive because it was too complicated. But then at some age I reached out for fundamentals and that's when I started building things.

All this to say, no, software developer probably not. Script kiddie?

You can also inline python inside shell scripts, does that make them equal sets? :)

    life() {
      python3 << EOF
    print(42)
    EOF
    }

python does EOL releases after 5 years. I guess versions are readily available for downloading and running with uv, but at that point you are on your own.

bash is glue and for me, glue code must survive the passage of time. The moment you use a high-level language for glue code it stops being glue code.

I guess we have wildly different expectatives of what a language is responsible for and what not.

Well, at least I will be able to run my bash scripts in 5 years

Thanks! That kind of makes sense. It's always interesting to me when I see patterns that make videos work well, and I usually have a lot of questions about the production.

Another question that I hope is not disrespectful: does PCBWay and JLCPCB pay for brand placement during the video or was it just a tribute from your side?

Cool project. Here's some OT: where do people learn to make these videos? Fast paced but calm narration with chill music and sped up action mixed with regular speed. It's a matter of consuming a lot of this content until the form clicks, or you need to go to influ-school?

On my carrier it's called a MultiSIM. It's having two SIM cards with the same number. On most carriers you can set up if you want this extra SIM to have voice or data (or both). It's usually cheap.

It's true that having two devices might seem complicated, but this is the only setup that ended working out for me: when I know I won't need any smart features on my life, I am happy to go out with my dumphone without worrying about missing urgent calls.
