a lot of people use fashion as a means of self-expression and suits tend to function as a vehicle for uniformity.

the group we're talking about does not have the power to enforce rules

but regardless, if you want to call the state in anarchism where people collectively form together to create rules and order "government", be my guest

proof you don't really need a government or state in order to have rules and order. this seems like a win for anarchism and a point against statism.

maybe federal elections needs more security than usps?

check your cache its maybe?

I'm a fan of explicitness and less magic, so the approaches that rust ORM's take, as well as frameworks like axum, I prefer it.

Serialisation with serde is top-notch imo. Equivalent approaches in C# or Java are strictly worse.

Axum's approach to dependency injection is clear, obvious, and mostly free of footguns.

Yes you end up gluing multiple libraries together instead of ".net" but I also prefer that.

I really like C# the language but .net is too full of crud, over-reliance on OOP, and the culture is not there imo.

Somehow Rust makes building web services really great for my set of values.

i'm not going to argue with you about aesthetics. taste and all that. but to me there are clearly divergent aesthetics with the rest of the site, and some elements. my suggestion is to just align them, and it will be more cohesive.

Yeah that's the only parts of the design that I could identify as being clearly AI generated, or at least is ai-coded, if it was human designed. Including the panels for demo, pricing, etc.

The rest of the design kind of reminds me of stardew valley's site, which is quite cute.

Hope you don't take this as evil criticism, overall I'm a big fan.

edit: it's not even AI coded, more like incohesive, and with the context of the article...but a simple fix and overall well done ;)

So because of the article's premise, I'm going to be a bit of a dickhead. I hope nobody takes this the wrong way, because it's not a judgement on the developers. I have also shipped way worse vibecoded frontends and this is coming from a UI guy, so it's not about being an AI hater or anything.

Your site looks like an AI made it.

Now there is an actually easy fix: just replace the glass panels and tabs with something that actually fits the rest of the aesthetic. And then I could buy that it was human-designed, at which point, it basically was. And just AI-coded.

Otherwise it's quite cool, and well done.

$2/10 is pretty cheap for a frontier model...

but you think the prompt kiddies will have jobs? for what?

if anything the safer bet is on skill and knowledge, or else you might as well go into a different field altogether.

there are many scenarios where governments are dysfunctional

also the point of the bunker is to be located far away from other people, nobody puts a doomsday bunker in manhattan

the point is probably to have a ts library as well for consumers, so it kind of makes sense.

i'd probably write it in rust and expose ts bindings tho.

i doubt it's for a bunker but it's kind of interesting to think about. i think if you have a ton of money, why not build a bunker? you don't have to believe that you'll need it. if the money isn't an issue, it's better to have it and not need it than the opposite, and plenty of non-rich people do the same at a smaller scale too.

if i had that much money i'd have all sorts of contingencies for myself and my family/friends all over the world. like, why not?

unfortunately this would require actual engineering and creativity, not vibe coding.

of course people claim coding is now a solved problem, so the question then is: why hasn't this already happened?

is it keyboard accessible? what about screen readers?

more like you work on 20th percentile problems and then try to extrapolate to everything

this is like finding your harddrive with 13,000 bitcoin but it's encrypted and you forgot the password

idk, rust is really good for web services. it depends on your taste obviously but i prefer it to C#.

yeah to some extent it's like a better interface over all those no-code site and app builders. people used them but they were still a lot of work, being able to just describe what you want is better ux for those users.

i wasnt around for that period where nocode was super hype, was there the same general attitude that it was inevitably going to replace developers?

i haven't thought of vibeslop as being the next wordpress, but i think it's kinda apt especially since the vibe approach only really works for websites.

she later came out and admitted it was basically made up as a desperate last attempt before the election. everyone in quebec is pissed at her lol

it's just a minimal example, in reality you would typically have various other data that exists exclusively in connected/unconnected states

rand is when bad politics?

loool, i had a clanker slop out a page just for me to preview UI components and it did this thing too. "React, without the nonsense", "your UI, simple, uncluttered", etc. like bro just put the components on the page. i tell it "no catchphrases and no extra copy" and it adds "just your UI, no copy" like come onnnn

or

   struct Connected { peer_ip: u32 }
   struct Disconnected;
   struct Connection<State> { state: State }

yea i found that a bit odd to throw in right at the end there. i dont really understand what that means

i think it generally does preclude other taxes, although i'm sure there are people who consider themselves georgists who would also want to see other forms of taxation.

but yes, home ownership is becoming increasingly unaffordable for a number of reasons, including increasing government spending...

its unclear to me how you could pay for the massive tax burden of a modern state with a single tax. while i agree in theory that taxation of land is the most "fair" type of tax, it does not seem possible that eg. the federal US government could obtain $7,000,000,000,000 from a %5 tax rate on land, without making it completely unaffordable for the average citizen to own a modest home.

if you were to couple Georgism with a massive reduction in state spending i would be more on board i think.

its getting buy-in, especially from people entrenched in their workflows, convincing management and sometimes legal depending on what plugins are being used.
