If I understand correctly, you had 30 working panels for the core functionality. You then vibe-coded an additional 486 new panels that use fake data? That's not quite how you presented the project in the title.

What do you mean? It says used AI in the title. That already implies it doesn't actually work.

Strong disagree on AI implying it doesn’t actually work. Staff engineers at FAANG are vibe coding these days and their stuff absolutely works.

60% of the time it works 100% of the time


You really want to claim that with the amount of outages lately?

We are trending towards zero nines (not 100) uptime.


I use Gemini CLI and given the might of all their engineers and AI tools, the features they ship are constantly buggy and broken.

It's so easy to pump out borderline useless functionality with AI that nobody is actually testing or designing it.


I reminds me of very early ChatGPT with mostly correct answers but some nonsense. Given its speed, it might be interesting to run it through a 'thinking' phase where it double checks its answers and/or use search grounding which would make it significantly more useful.

"a Google hater mis-interpreting something and the posting ragebait." Isn't exactly a thoughtful comment either. It's exactly the kind of no facts baseless accusation that you claim to be tired of seeing.

The textbook thing was a non issue when I was in college. Previous year books were sold on to the next year, and lecturers gave us page numbers for at least two editions.

I think all of the books for my year were about $150, not just one.

Now I'd assume everyone is using digital books so it might be different.


Everyone knows it's illegal in the UK and Ireland. They also think they won't get any punishment. Which is the point of this judgement.

Eliza was 1960s.

In the 1990s I remember taking my friend's IRC chat history and running it through a Markov model to generate drivel, which was really entertaining.


Hiding most of the items by default and making it really hard to restore it! I had to try 3 different obscure methods to get the old context menu back.

Which just tells me what I already know - Windows is actively hostile to power users, and they should be on Linux. Leave Windows for the less technically confident who need that stuff hidden away.


Yeah. Nobody thinks they will pay the fine, it just shows non compliance.


The first part is true but the second sentence seems dubious to me. Did they compute that from the previous visitor numbers or something?


I introduced it to my friend (who is not technical, and has a RTX 3080), his experience was: he selected a 3:32 song, it took 10-15 minutes trying to scan it. In the end it did a "decent job of removing lyrics from the audio and providing accurate ones" "It seemed to be tracking my singing but there is no mic setup or anything like it" "And I think I accidentally wiped the AI model data it took forever to generate with a single click"

In the end he's gone back to karaoke videos on youtube but it seems promising.
