Have been to both. Apart from the decor there is absolutely nothing diner about it. The first one especially has terrible food.

Have to call out that comment about grok code being sub par. I used it exclusively when it was free in Cursor and have nothing bad to say about it. And that was months ago. I imagine it’s a lot better now.

I have a lot bad to say about it. It was ass compared to OAI/Anthropic models.

It was incredibly fast though, but that just meant it was writing buggy code at breakneck speed

Vibe coding in a nutshell

Yes. You’re using Kimi if you use the composer-2 model in cursor. It’s great. Plan in state of the art. Execute in composer-2

There is a whole community of bag enthusiasts who intricately review backpacks. Packhacker etc. It's super easy to find reviews of most backpacks and plenty of video reviews detailing every feature on the bag - and even in some cases reviews after a few months of usage. Day one might feel great, but after a few trips you start noticing flaws.

I'd echo what one of the other commenters here said about AER and Cotopaxi. Although I have to say wearing my Cotopaxi Alppa 35l feels like a small child is trying to drag me to the floor compared to the comfort of having the AER straps on my back for the travel pack. I still love both though.

Aer is sort of an interesting case to me. At its core the nylon material they use certainly make the bags feel like they'd last forever.

But I feel like Aer also tends to include features or materials that are just not designed for BIFL longevity. Two that jump to mind are the PU coatings on a lot of their zippers and their use of elastic straps as the main way to secure water bottles (but they might be moving away from the elastic on their newest bags). Both of those feel like they have a much more limited lifespan (relative to some of the other aspects of the bags).

Grok code was my daily driver for months while it was free and it was fantastic - it is certainly no worse than it was a few months ago.

Unfortunately with LLMs everything is based off your use case, domain and the context you give it. I also use Grok daily for health questions as the other models are too afraid to give input on medical matters

Why do you need to ask any AI questions regarding your health every day?

Because I am going through a series of health issues.

It took me 13 years to get them to unban my adsense account. To this day I still have no idea what happened and have assumed it was a competitor sending fake clicks or something.

It’s probably more nuanced than this. Would I have let my kids use Facebook in the height of its popularity. Absolutely. It was fun, engaging and user driven.

Now it’s just an absolute cesspit of paid content, ads and boomers posting in groups.

I don’t even think it’s appropriate to call it social media anymore. It’s barely social.

Not a single friend of mine posts anything on there.

I am only on FB for a group I admin that is useful and helps people. its more like forum hosting for me.

Almost all my friends have stopped posted. The only social thing I see from most people is wishing people happy birthday.

I can't help but think that whenever we have these discussions about dependency hell in the JS ecosystem that the language moves too slowly to add things to stdlib. For me, this is where bun fills the gap and they continue to pump out core stdlib packages that replace widely used dependencies. I'd really like to see Node at least do this more.

This is pretty impressive work.

On a related note, Fuji’s simulations being locked to their walled garden has been an issue for third party tools forever. All “replications” of on device are just that. And never comparable.

I think a lot of people would like to study how they work to create true replications.

AI is ubiquitous to the point where it's permeating almost every desk job in the world. Even those who don't work are using AI to help them find work, research health problems, ask questions about their daily life. I can't think of anything else since the invention of the internet that has had this much of an impact on people's lives.

People will have to pay for this. I don't see it being free for long other than a few chats a day. If most people in the world are paying 10-200 bucks a month then AI companies will make money, and I doubt they will need to rely much on ads at all.

Anecdotally I know approximately zero 'normal' (non-tech) people who are intentionally using generative AI, several who have been badly misled by Google's AI summaries, and quite a few who are vehemently anti-AI (usually artists and writers).

(Except when mandated by their employers, which nobody is happy about or finds particularly useful.)

Every single person I know outside of my profession is using it, including all relatives of all ages. Even if it's at the top of the google search results :)

Or people are just using as much because it is free.

If you reach a bit farther back, there's opium, an impactful product with limitless demand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars

On the other hand, costs are getting lower with time.

Sort of how now I have an unlimited 5G data plan for like 10 dollars, and in 2011 I didn't even have Internet on my phone. This is happening also with AI.
