Re:Pi Durable on Cloudflare – Earendil on Thursday October 29, 2026 @02:57PM (#50294122)
Very similar to an existing Cloudflare library vibe-sdk. Runs an agent in the Durable Object and spins up a container if the agent needs to execute a bash command. The container can even mount the SQLite based object store as a filesystem to perform filesystem operations. https://github.com/cloudflare/vibesdk

> since we will lack the experiences of struggle and striving that generate interesting personalities

Will we? AI won't replace a trip to Yosemite (nature), a spiritual discovery or the exploration of your mental health (introspection), the creation of art (creativity), playing volleyball on the beach (sports), enjoying the sun on the beach (leisure). The choice to be an interesting personality has existed for a long time, you just have to make it

I believe it has been passed down to you, either knowingly or not

Doordash was meant to help local restaurants win, now a large percentage of the "restaurants" on DD are ghost kitchens run by DD. The same will happen to grocery stores. It's the enshittification model happening in plain sight.
The pearl earring and the billboard worker didn't feel like frontier quality. Otherwise very impressive

I'd bet we're on the order of months before he can stream thoughts to speech. Incredible
Just used a very similar stack to make my own mail client. Workers for routing, Resend for sending, uses a CF and Resend key to set up any inbox on any domain I want ~instantly so I can have inboxes for everything. Very cool, I think workers are underrated!
Server not found is pretty funny for a vibecode rewrite project

"A specific and load bearing property" + images that scrub left and right annoyingly the entire video. I may be cynical but I believe the entire video was produced by Claude

Not physically the same but same concept: combining multiple images from slightly different angles to increase information density.
Scary. From the news I see, there are seemingly many more wildfires, hurricanes, and now heatwaves and an El Niño that are breaking their records by significantly more than the 0.1 C that the actual climate has changed in the past 10 years. It feels possibly apocalyptic to project this exponential trend forward. From the perspective of someone just reading the media I'm unable to be sure whether this is a red car effect, the media just knowing this content works, or whether this is simply the state of things. Are there any experts that might shed some light?
This was actually a purported feature of the Pixel 3 camera. Google said it would be constantly taking photos and the different information captured as your hand moved slightly could be used to create higher information density photos. It didn't work very well at that point but the idea was cool!

Anyone could have (and can still) just take a screengrab from maps and use nano banana. People trying to spread false information were not suddenly empowered by this tool

Looks neat. One nit: I notice the user is on the left in the chat interface which runs counter to literally every chat interface I've ever used!
> But detractors say it could have economic consequences, particularly for farmers who would have to wrestle with later sunrises.

I genuinely don't understand the "farmer's like DST" argument. Farmer's schedules are dictated by the sun not the time and the sun changes continuously year round. If the argument is about commercial coordination that follows the same logic of being difficult regardless given constantly shifting sunlight, at least without DST there's year-round consistency by the other businesses.

No rule against making the prompt the source? i.e. develop locally and then just have your prompt be, "Write the following, verbatim to app.js ```code```"?

"Forever free"... but only until 1000 messages. Can't tell if this is just over ambitious advertising or was it meant to be 1000/m?
Sonar is a likely cause for whales beaching themselves, using sound to transmit the image data underwater may do more harm than good.
Just FYI, the new wrangler supports direct typescript support including minification so webpack isn’t necessary anymore
