It's not the failure here or there, it's a pattern. It's not even the failing, it's the excessive hype cycle.
We keep seeing things being overhyped, with not much thought behind it. Meta is particularly bad about it. They changed their name for the hype of their VR product, when VR was still niche and had a long way to go, and still does. They couldn't even figure out legs for launch.
Now they have a 'superintellegence'? Yeah, that sounds like just the latest in a line of bullshit. Why would this be different.
Establishing a pattern of over hyping of projects that then disappear isn't a shallow dismissal.
How's the metaverse doing? It was the next big thing and how we're all going to be working inside it in... was it like 3 months ago?
Maybe they need to mine more libra coin first? or is it diem now? is that even still part of meta?
I'm sure this new AI is super intelligent and super awesome and will be writing all the code, making all the blog posts, and generating all our youtube shorts in 6 months.
Just include 'make it secure' in the prompt. Duh.

If my high school English is worth anything, that quote has nothing to do with being careless, or the privileges accorded to wealth, but is in fact a metaphor for the external struggle of chicken farmers against predators.

Your experience is not everyone s experience. Are you one of their colleagues. No? Then they weren’t talking about you.
> I wasn't aware that migrating projects off Cobol has become cheap and it would only take a Claude subscription.
It's like you never even saw u/bumlazer42069's seminal post that 'itd only take 3 prompts and a weekend for me to port all that cobol to typescript'
Noise cancellation was made worse due to patent troll lawsuits.
Right? also, where's the thunderbolt ports? and it needs about another inch? maybe half inch on the screen. And really, 16gb is the new minimum. There's a whole bunch of acceleration and co processing features in the m series missing from the a series, so they really should put an m5 in there instead...
Seriously though. Every feature someone says is missing and should have been added would be another $100 on the cost. This is already likely a low margin product meant of someone who's only using a browser and maybe a few apps.
Depends what you're developing. You could build a pretty powerful webapp as long as you don't fall into 'i need my blog running in kubernetes' trap.
For a couple months I was on an 8gb m1 air, it was perfectly fine, even with docker containers. As long as i didn't launch teams....
If you know what a user agent is, let alone how to change it, CORS is not meant for you.
Its guide rails to help the tech illiterate not get hacked. It raises the bar on what gets through. It’s not going to stop a determined attacker, but will catch enough to make a dent. Defense in depth and all that.
Surely the point of doing mockups is to get feedback.
Are you just not doing that anymore?
> BTW, I think a lot of people were/are greatly overestimating the value of coding to business success.
Uh, no they're not. Did you not see the recent announcement from unity. One short prompt and you get a whole AAA+ game in one shot.

Yeah.... The code isn't the hard part. That's not where the value is.
This hard part when you're doing in house stuff is getting a good spec, ongoing support, and long term maintenance.
I've gone trough development of a module with a stakeholder, got a whole spec, confirmed it, coded it, launched it, and was then told it didn't work at all like what they needed. It was literally what they told me... I've said 'yes we can make that report, what specific fields do you need' and gotten blank stares.
Even if you're lucky and the original stakeholder and the code are on the same page, as soon as you get a coworkers 'wouldnt it be nice if...' you're going to have a bad day if it's hand coded, vibecoded, or outsourced...
This has always been the problem, it's why no-code never _really_ worked, even if the tech was perfectly functional.
That's the steam deck, the handheld, not the minipc like cube they announced
If my high school English is to be believed, there isn’t a sentence that isn’t metaphor, and if you think it’s straightforward, you’re getting an F.
No, not ai. Just an alternative input method.
sell $50 keychains. done.
That makes no sense. Why would you not be testing with optimized hosting.
If one of the OSs has features that improve performance, why would you not include that in the comparison?
Local scrap yards will now have a ton of copper wire AND charger handles
google literally tells them it's an ai generated report
This didn't make sense to me either? If it only took three days for a complete rewrite to another language, what's the problem? Did I read they were getting interrupted for user requests? felt weird.
No.
When I go to the dmv website to renew my license, I want it to renew my license every single time
Also, you can now pin versions in that whitelist
Pretend you're talking about photos and cameras. You mean you can see the image? even though the camera isn't pointed at it now? Like it's really seeing it?
Same idea. You're seeing it, but you know it's just a memory of the thing, not a live view. Like pulling up a video or jpg instead of a live feed.
Ask the maintainers to build arm images. Realistically they should be, unless the project uses lots of x86 assembly.
There are a lot of projects with arm containers on docker hub. It’s not hard to build multi platform containers.
In the US, (internet fact, grain of salt, etc) there is a trend where students, and now adults, are growing increasingly functionally illiterate.
