That's a great idea, I will try that too. The LLMs are so capable, but the slowness annoys me. I always end up working on a few things at once and always doing rounds of reading its output, giving new orders, and going back to Reddit/HN/YouTube while it's doing its thing for the next 5 minutes.
My Claude admits mistakes and then fixes them on its own all the time.
Often even without my input: "(thinking..) Oh I discovered that I misjudged XYX, let me fix that.. (thinking) (executing scripts) Okay I corrected my mistake, I had accidentily ABC."
I really doubt that any country except maybe Germany would have introduced this legislation by themselves.
My mom sometimes buys wool from online wool sellers which often are other 60 year old ladies who really don't know much about the internet or business.
These are affected, too, and will probably all stop selling to other EU countries because how could they ever fully grasp that regulation in all its details.
It's a shame, life and doing business is difficult enough already, and then millions of people get those regulations thrown at them.
They already had a big wave of newsletter closures when the EU's GDPR came around and everyone was scared to handle customer data. Now here's the next round.
I'm not agreeing with everything that this user wrote but for sure the Brexit did not destroy UK's economy. GDP-wise the UK and France always developed very similarly before Brexit and also after Brexit, so it's hard to call it a "desaster".
You mean, it's good to have _even more_ bad regulations?
Or rather, if a little bit of X is bad, why would you want more of X?
> It's still a lot better than not having it
In this case no, it would be a lot easier to make business without the EU than with it.
Having the EU should make things better and easier, not harder and worse, for the members of said EU.
"Usually"? How many of Amazon's AWS customers have a custom SLA with them, maybe 0.001%?
Why should the entire flight be compensated? The airline provided the flight, just 24 hours later (and the delay is what the $100 are supposed to compensate).
For the free to use LLMs, for sure. But if I pay $20 monthly, why should they enshittify it?
Whatever level of safety you are at, it's always easy to advocate for more. It's always a trade-off and in the end a matter of preference and risk-tolerance.
And then? What's the practical, concrete, real-life consequence for me? Nothing, not even a bit more relevant ads as these run into my adblocker anyway.
Left leaning positions: "there should be no Billionaires", "companies are inherently evil", "there should be no borders", "the US is currently a fascist country". Just as bonkers, so now what? Or rather, I think it's just as easy to find incorrect left-leaning elements.
I think this is just a matter of visuals. His videos that are doing well show many beautiful things. Just looking at the thumbnails and the view counts gives that away already.
You can just have a bell icon that displays a little red (1) so the users know that they have a message/notification that they can, but don't have to, read.
As a counterpoint, I have a website that generates a few thousand dollars per month and sometimes I improve bits about it but sometimes I also don't touch it (or its emails or anything) for a year.
There was always lots of "normal" entrepreneurship, where people opened a small shop and sold something. You didn't need to do a 0.1% job to succeed, success was mostly normal-distributed.
Internet businesses by contrast have a power law distribution. Meaning if you perform average you will end up with just $100 per month. The potential upside is infitite though.
The outcome of the average business person is very different between physical and online business.
For me it _can_ be faster to code than to instruct but it takes me significantly less effort to write the prompt than the actual code. So a few hours of concentrates coding leave me completely drained of energy while after a few hours with the agents I still have a lot of mental energy. That's the huge difference for me and I don't want to go back.
By that logic we have to get rid of mail-in voting as well because there could always be a sledgehammer guy standing next to someone in their own home.
What does it exactly mean, digital community infrastructure?
For me it's their speed, yes. I only run 0-3 at a time, and often the problem at hand is very much not complex. For example "Take this component out of the file into its own file, including its styles." The agent may take 5 minutes for that and what do I do in the meantime? I can start another agent for the next task at hand.
Could also be a bug hunt "Sometimes we get an error message about XYZ, please investigate how that might happen." or "Please move setting XY from localstorage to cookies".
Good points.
About adoption I want to add that at some point a whole generation will turn 16/18 (legal driving age) and just not do a driver's license anymore because they will buy an autonomous car anyway. And IMO from that point on adoption will be very fast.
Money can't just "go" somewhere, it needs a reason first, at least for book-keeping. I mean, VCs can get their invested capital back but on top of that, how would that money be transfered? $20B is a lot and for sure the VCs will not just write an invoice of $18B for consulting services.
The devil really is always in the details.
I have a website with hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors running on a single Hetzner machine since >10 years (switched machines inside Hetzner a few times though).
My outage averages around 20 minutes per year, so an uptime of around 99.996%.
I have no idea where you see those "huge outages" coming from.
This has nothing to with the dates being in the future and only with convention and labeling the field correctly.
And in the table example you don't need the "where", because it's obviously in the restaurant's timezone.
I am so glad that so many people in this thread confirm how bad the native date pickers are; i thought I was alone.
Just picking the year is so difficult already on both Android and iOS as well as desktop Chrome, so a custom widget is immediately 100x better.
Yes, in theory it would be best to display the native picker because in theory it has a great UX, but in practice the native browsers' implementations are mostly just really, really bad, for whatever reason.
That's what I really dislike about the linked article - it doesn't even check the native implementations for their quality but just argues as if they are great.
To be honest, I find it a bit hard to understand even from the video. The top part doesn't look like it has any container at all.
Technically yes, but it costs thousands per year for upkeep and again thousands plus 1-2 years of time to shut it down again.
I agree, I don't understand the hate in this thread.
And I think their paid hosting was actually really good, up until they switched their $20/month plan to a whatever-it-may-cost and we-send-you-10-cryptic-emails-about-your-usage-every-month plan. That's when they lost me, not because it got more expensive but because it became intransparent and unpredictable and annoying instead of carefree.
