C3 is honestly so good and a bit underrated.

I think the reason for that is, the text to me feels immediately AI generated which evokes a feeling of "the human didn't care enough to do the easiest part, which is to describe their project themselves".
In desktop mode I get about ~7h of continuous light work, e.g. browsing. I often use it plugged into a 21:9 4k monitor though just like a laptop. There I should note that at that resolution it seems limited to 60hz refresh rate.
When gaming it changes a bit. But for example, it plays GTA V at least as good as a steam deck but at just ~6W power draw. So much more power efficient. I also sometimes do Switch emulation. But that can be a bit more fiddly as patches are required due to the 4:3 screen ratio.
The nicest thing for me though is that it can pretty seamlessly dual boot between linux and android. And even in linux, android apps work super well in waydroid because it's arm based. It feels magical to me...
I know this reads like an ad but it truly is holy grail tech to me. Never could've imagined this 5 to 10 years ago.
Most problems I run into are anti cheat related (EAC, etc.) but those can be circumvented for now. Feels kind of insane how far x86 emulation has come.
I have a tiny handheld with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and among many other things it plays GTA V and RDR2 almost perfectly, using FEX nonetheless. And because it's arm, battery life is so much better than on my laptop that I use it as a tiny mini linux laptop now.
Of course that's a real issue since the whole thing is login gated and inaccessible. But unfortunately it is the reality. So I think something like XCancel is needed.
If yes, regardless of who made the issues, that seems like terrible architecture/design there...
The functionality more or less works and the website is usable, but the design follows that "AI style". I'm not sure how else to describe it.
"Most people on HN", yes, probably.
Even though people that don't work in tech can now build a lot of stuff I think most wouldn't even know where to begin with stuff like this.
Heck, I work in a web development/design agency with people who code in JS/TS all day and they still couldn't tell you the difference between interpreted and compiled code. Why? Because it's simply not relevant to their daily work.
Over the last 3 years I've seen projects where I thought, pretty obviously that's a bad idea. But, because LLMs don't say no and can just be pushed to build it anyway, the people building them might never learn that or learn why.
It's nice to be able to have a quick prototype or mvp. But if we never hit friction or something not working out, we never learn or have to come up with a creative solution.
Now, the LLM might seem incredibly intelligent (relatively speaking) and also creative but let's not forget that all is based on its training data. I simply don't believe it can ever be omniscient or that the companies training it are careful enough when doing so.
docker run --runtime krun hello-world
docker run --runtime krun --rm -it -v $(pwd):/workspace/$(basename $(pwd)) -w /workspace/$(basename $(pwd)) --network restricted-net ghcr.io/openai/codex-universal:latest sh
I mean to say, perhaps this is more about customer sentiment and image than something maybe benign to their profits like five eyes involvement.
For my own projects, I have been perfectly fine with just one large global CSS file, extending it just when I have to. But I could this being maybe tedious when working in a large team.
