tasteless wafers?

In the sense that there's no upside to violating the norm, yeah, that too.

> Considering they trained their model on open-source software, the least they could do is give it to open-source maintainers for free with no time limit.

Why? The resulting code generated by Claude is unfit for training, so any work product produced after the start of the subsidized program should be ignored.

Therefore it makes sense to charge them for the service after 6 months, no? Heh.


What do you mean it's unfit for training? It's a form of reinforcement learning; the end result has been selected based on whether it actually solved the need.

You need to be careful of the amount of reinforcement learning vs continued pretraining you do, but they already do plenty of other forms of reinforcement learning, I'm sure they have it dialed in.


> One example of this was a malformed authentication function. The AI that vibe-coded the Supabase backend, which uses remote procedure calls, implemented it with flawed access control logic, essentially blocking authenticated users and allowing access to unauthenticated users.

Actually sounds like a typical mistake a human developer would make. Forget a `!` or get confused for a second about whether you want true or false returned, and the logic flips.

The difference is a human is more likely to actually test the output of the change.


> Part of the value of a US passport is knowing (and everyone else knowing) that the government will go to incredible lengths to get you back.)

Is this even the case anymore?

The government has shown to turn a blind eye when natural disasters affect states that voted majority voted for the other party. Their own citizens.

If you were stuck overseas but are an outspoken Democrat, I would not count on your government to get you home.


When they added it (probably a decade ago now), it signalled that they completely gave up on providing a performant forum software.


Does this version still corrupt your game file if you save at the ice cream factory lol


Why do so many blog posts have such involved exposition, and then suddenly end?

Seems like the author was building to a point and simply decided to end it early.


If you encounter a shop that uses POST for everything then they are probably a shop that doesn't know that verbs other than GET and POST exist.

... and they don't use GET everywhere because one time Google scraped that endpoint and dropped the production database.


I also credit Neopets, but it was really the confluence of Neopets, MySpace, Geocities/Tripod, Xanga, etc. that really formed the base for so much of my career.


I sold my Pixel Watch 2, but I wasn't able to get two days' worth. The sacrifices weren't worth it.

Namely, you'd have to turn off the always on screen (I gave this up easily), as well as "flick to wake", which I found harder to give up.

If I were to press a button on my watch to read a notification, I may as well use my phone. YMMV.
