  1. Also, vibe coding has really become a skill in itself. Does it allow the average non-programmer to go to production easily (and likely have bugs/flaws)? Yes. But as someone who used to be a programmer and just fell out of skill with all of it, I've found that what I do still have is a keen sniff test for good vs bad, and can guide the direction and architecture with proper planning.

    Garbage in, garbage out still applies.

  2. Couldn't this be true in the other direction as well? Anecdotally I see developers putting a lot more scrutiny into vibe coded PRs, while AI code tends to be highly commented (by the AI) and potentially easier to read.

    I've seen way more human comments of "I don't know what this does but if I remove it everything breaks" in systems.

  3. I started on the Pro plan a week ago and was already contemplating jumping to Max. When I hit a limit yesterday I upgraded to Max and hit a limit again before seeing the news of the changed usage limit.

    For what it's worth, everything seems fixed today.

  4. The biggest benefit I see so far is the integration of ChatGPT into Siri to answer questions for me while I'm driving instead of giving me "I'm sorry, I can't show you that while driving"
  5. I definitely thought about it but that seemed a bit too crackable
  6. I named my IoT Wireless SSID to 418. Thought I was clever, even if nobody else understands it.
  7. You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.
  8. Devil's advocate, if Tesla camps on eBay listings for used Teslas for sale and places bids they have no intention of following through on for the sole purpose of driving others to bid higher and keeping the brand value high, this would be seen as manipulative by the end-buyers (though at the end of the day, they did ultimately bid and agree to the price they won at)
  9. This will probably get a lot of hate, but for most of my questions where I'm looking for a simple answer on something, I just use ChatGPT. Gives me the answer much more hassle-free than a search engine would.
  10. They're not deciding what software we install, did you read the article? The bill would require ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) to stop sending all this user data to China where it is ultimately used by the CCP. I'd argue that this bill doesn't go far enough, and companies of a certain size should be required to home US citizen data in the US, where it's subject to our laws and regulations.
  11. This is missing the core of the bill. The bill isn't a ban of TikTok, the bill is a cease and desist of sending user data to China. It gives ByteDance the option to do so, but since that would defeat their entire purpose for existing they see it as a "total ban" on TikTok and that's what they're telling their addicted teenage audience.
  12. How this made it to #12 on HN is baffling. Slow day I guess
  13. Looked at it and debated leaving Spark Mail but the price throws me off, and the lack of IMAP support to still be able to receive my junk Gmail is a deal breaker.
  14. I have these to get wired connection from my rack to my home office, to add in a WAP and wire my desk computers. They've worked solidly and I get great throughput. I'm not a gamer so I can't speak to latency but I'd imagine if the tradeoff was this or wifi, this would still be a more desirable option.

    I'm self-limited to 1G because what supports 2.5G these days? Not my equipment.

  15. That power bank serves a niche for me I've been searching a while for. I have a sound (white noise) machine I use for sleep, but it's pretty susceptible to brown outs or dirty power and that's pretty jarring. It's powered by USB, and I've never been able to find a UPS that meets:

    - Small

    - Cheap (I wouldn't consider $99 cheap, but it's better)

    - Seamless switch between power and battery

    I've thrown a small battery pack on before but the battery wouldn't charge and serve at the same time.

  16. And the fix would be to remove yourself ~30ft from the source (though BLE might have even less range). The pump itself wasn't "disabled", the dude's Android phone (or dedicated Android device for this) was temporarily glitched while in range.
  17. I also love having the Apple Pay and automatic SMS OTP integration. Those got me to start using Safari again from FF, and the only thing I'm really missing is uBlock Origin (Adguard is doing okay in its place)
  18. Sounds like they're living rent-free in your life.
  19. I hate this with a passion. I can be out somewhere, knowing that there's likely a McDonald's nearby. I zoom in to my location, type in McDonald's, and it zooms out to a 25 mile radius to show me every single McDonald's in the area including the one 0.1 miles away (that I then have to zoom all the way back into to get)
  20. > almost flawless experiences from amazon shopping

    In my opinion its too fuzzy, which is usually the opposite problem I have with website searches (e.g. searching a news site for keywords of an article I know exits, but it's taking me too literally)

    If I search for "iPhone 14 Pro case", I don't want to see cases for iPhone 15 __, or non-pro models. I've (to my own fault) bought way too many of the wrong product because I search for a specific model and don't read the title before ordering, only to realize that Amazon didn't give me exactly what I typed in.
