If an LLM can generate 90% of a HTTP API correctly, why would you want to do it manually?

Because figuring out which 10% it did wrong and then fixing that will take longer and be more effort than just doing it from scratch myself.

Oh, it will ‘find bugs’ alright. And then flood FreeBSD’s bug report system with bullshit bug reports that turn out to be nothing, but require expert human review to discern that.

I find it works best when you give it a very small/simple task to do.

If it’s a small/simple task, why do I need help at all?

What I don’t get, though, is how the vibe code bros can’t discern this reality.

How can they sit there and not see that their vibe-coded app just doesn’t do what they wanted it to do? Eventually, you’ve got to try actually running the app, right? And how do you keep drinking the AI kool-aid when you find out that the app doesn’t work?

You see, that’s why when I need to use Discord, I just use it in the browser anyway. No need to install an app that’s just going to be a browser tab in disguise.

Needing to run a full-fledged browser in the background in order to display your html/css frontend adds a lot more performance cost than necessary, making the app eat up far more RAM and CPU than necessary. It probably also introduces a lot more security vulnerability concerns that an otherwise simple app shouldn’t have to worry about. And then there’s the dependency chain you’re introducing – now your app needs to be updated every time the underlying browser gets an important update … and maybe needs to be tweaked/rewritten to accommodate that browser update if it changes the way the browser interacts with your app frontend.

There are plenty of other GUI frontend frameworks that are also expressive, simple, and well-known, without all of these potential problems associated with them.

My 2nd most hated trend in modern programming. (Behind AI forced into everything.)

Or, when local authorities don’t allow burning, just throw it in a pile in a back corner of the property … and let it sit. Over time, the pile grows and grows. But over even more time, it rots and shrinks. And in the meantime, it’s animal and insect habitat, lol.

can you create more of like a natural language interface that lets people do everything they want?

I don’t want a ‘natural language interface’ in my browser.

I want a browser interface in my browser.

This shit ain’t broke. Don’t fix it.

Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?

I could already do all of that, without AI.

You’re going to need about 2 hours, an Arduino, a taser, and a Twitch account…

Not that I’m aware of.

Yeah, but Gallium has optimizations and drivers for Chromebook-specific hardware, including a custom kernel.

With any other distro, performance and battery life won’t be quite as good, and some of the Chromebook specific stuff like special keyboard keys and the touchpad might not work.

I’m running Gallium OS on an old Chromebook … it’s a dead distro at this point, and getting a bit frightfully outdated, but it’s the only distro specifically made for that hardware.

From an officer who (unsurprisingly) is too stupid to use a burner phone for his hoax calls.

So … when can we expect the announcement of his cabinet position?

the crack is basically installing a rootkit in your system

As is denuvo.

Time for a court ruling that states saying “april fools” is not sufficient grounds to reverse a valid statement of resignation.

This is too chonky to call a soup. I’m calling it a stew.

Oh no, not sharp questions.

They might even be subject to a polite condemnation soon!
