> that then you can work with the agent to craft a plan, refine the plan, and finally execute the plan

And Cursor just introduced a separate plan mode themselves, so it gets even better.

Socializing is not the same as socialist per se, the latter of which has the specific definition of workers controlling the means of production, and I don't see that anywhere in the US much less the world.

you can throw any semantics at this you want and re-define it however you see fit. but there are few things more socialist than government taking a stake in companies. if this Intel story came out or Venezuela or China we would be crying a foul saying “oh look at that socialist shit, glad I live in America”

Sure, I don't disagree on the argument, I'm just saying that people have been using the word socialism wrong for so long that it now just means when the government does something, basically.

> And China doesn't (didn't?) allow foreign companies to operate in China without a local partner at all

Tesla was the first to buck this trend.

The next question is: why did China give Tesla this unprecedented deal?

The answer I heard at the time was to get local suppliers and workforce up to Tesla standards.

It appears to have worked out for China quite nicely.

Catfish effect. Ensure local players just don't become welfare queen mooching subsidy and incentives from govt both local and national.

Well yeah, they used this playbook with Apple as well.

It's not a country - it's a collection of individual billionaires. Each billionaire involved in these kinds of deals gets richer, and has no reason to care about anyone else.

Yes, but we’ve apparently chosen to run our country in such a way.

"we" never got any say in the matter.

By not doing anything to stop it, we agreed to it. No options to stop it were presented, but we weren't limited to the presented options.

Just for cars. Microsoft has been independent in China since the late 90s, although they had to find a partner to do Azure.

> although they had to find a partner to do Azure.

By "finding a partner" you actually mean have Azure-branded services provided by Chinese companies through isolated data centers.

Which kind of proves OPs point.

Do they use the same Microsoft software and the Azure APIs that are available in the rest of the world?

Yes. As for AWS, some of the services are not available in CN. But the APIs are the same for the services that are available.

For some MS software, you need to sign an additional agreement consenting to cross-border transfer of personal data before use. But the features are the same.

Microsoft operated in China for more than a decade before azure was a thing. A lot of companies did, Microsoft is just the one I’m familiar with.

Almost everyone in China pirated Windows and Office. Microsoft were unable to do anything about it, and gave up trying.

Western companies have virtually no IP in China. It gets stolen and IP rights are not enforcible - western companies basically cannot sue Chinese companies. Chinese companies can enforce their IP against western companies, who have to surrender theirs to access the Chinese market. The system is completely rigged in China's favour.

The only way to level that playing field is for western nations to do the same: Let their domestic companies freely steal Chinese IP and selectively enforce IP rights, as China does.

Like in other places, Apple does very well in China, and everyone "pirates" MacOS wait...no they don't. Microsoft made/makes money in China, the piracy came from an outdated software model that eventually went away, and WinDev was going down in flames on revenue worldwide even before that.

> The only way to level that playing field is for western nations to do the same: Let their domestic companies freely steal Chinese IP and selectively enforce IP rights, as China does.

China literally just gives it away for free. They are the top supplier of open source LLMs.

Same as AWS ("cn" regions) which often has different rules, especially with cross-region comms.

Same applies to the US gov cloud regions and Apple's iCloud.

That's funny that the coiner of the term vibe coding has eventually found it not useful anymore.

That’s not what he said. This is the new project:

> My goal is to get the full "strong baseline" stack into one cohesive, minimal, readable, hackable, maximally forkable repo. nanochat will be the capstone project of LLM101n (which is still being developed). I think it also has potential to grow into a research harness, or a benchmark, similar to nanoGPT before it.

This is how he described vibe coding:

> There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

Vibe coding is clearly aimed at having fun hacking around on something that doesn’t matter, and he’s doing the opposite of that with this project. The fact that he’s not using vibe coding for something that is completely inappropriate for vibe coding is neither surprising nor a failure of vibe coding.

Coinflow does this already and Stripe is working on something similar.

I prefer Dokploy, Coolify sometimes has random bugs

Exactly, Dokploy doesn't get enough recognition because they don't burn through funds by spending it on marketing on YouTube channels

I don't think Coolify does that either, it was just one of the first modern PaaS that got traction after Dokku and CapRover which I consider a bit older and less modern, no GUI for example, but people seem to want a GUI for deployment management.

i started with coolify but ended up at dokploy

It's being rewritten in Go so yes it will

The compiler might be rewritten in Go, but the Typescript and Go languages themselves are very different.

Go’s main objectives were fast builds and a simple language.

Typescript is tacked onto another language that doesn’t really care about TS with three decades of warts, cruft and hacks thrown together.

It's hard to say.

One the one hand the go type system is a joke compared to typescript so the typescript compiler has a much harder job of type checking. On the other hand once type checking is done typescript just needs to strip the types and it's done while go needs to optimize and generate assembly.

Another day, another example of the AI Effect in action:

> "The AI effect" refers to a phenomenon where either the definition of AI or the concept of intelligence is adjusted to exclude capabilities that AI systems have mastered. This often manifests as tasks that AI can now perform successfully no longer being considered part of AI, or as the notion of intelligence itself being redefined to exclude AI achievements.[4][2][1] Edward Geist credits John McCarthy for coining the term "AI effect" to describe this phenomenon.[4] The earliest known expression of this notion (as identified by Quote Investigator) is a statement from 1971, "AI is a collective name for problems which we do not yet know how to solve properly by computer", attributed to computer scientist Bertram Raphael.[5]

> McCorduck calls it an "odd paradox" that "practical AI successes, computational programs that actually achieved intelligent behavior were soon assimilated into whatever application domain they were found to be useful in, and became silent partners alongside other problem-solving approaches, which left AI researchers to deal only with the 'failures', the tough nuts that couldn't yet be cracked."[6] It is an example of moving the goalposts.[7]

I wonder how many more times I'll have to link this page until people stop repeating it.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

Leaving alone Stallman's extreme take, present day LLMs and other generative systems are absolutely still being referred to by society as AI, and I don't see this changing any time soon, so what does this say about the AI effect?

How do you know we understand and LLMs don't? To an outsider they look the same. Indeed, that is the point of solipsism.

Because unlike a human brain, we can actually read the whitepaper on how the process works.

They do not "think", they "language", i.e. large language model.

What is thinking and why do you think that LLM ingesting content is not also reading? Clearly they're absorbing some sort of information from text content, aka reading.

I think you don't understand how llms work. They run on math, the only parallel between an llm and a human is the output.

Are you saying we don't run on math? How much do you know of how the brain functions?

This sort of Socratic questioning shows that no one truly can answer them because no one actually knows about the human mind, or how to distinguish or even define intelligence.

So do neurons.

The problem is the falling asleep part for many night owls, insomnia is the issue.

Have you tried sports? Someone mentioned bicycling 100km which imho is quite exhausting and gives me a good night of sleep.

I do cycling, currently based in Luxembourg. I cycle (for fun & sports) about 10.000 (ten-thousand) kilometers per year. I also like 100+km rides, although I do that weekly mostly between mid-April to mid-September period...

I can easily sleep 10 hours, start at any time. It's not a problem of falling asleep, it's a problem of waking up :)

That's the thing about insomnia, it simply doesn't work the way you think, it can sometimes be an actual sleeping disorder.

Sure, this is not medical advice. In case you are not sick, this will work though.

That he doesn’t react to the suggestion of trying daily a few hours of cardio exercises instead preferring a few hours of insomnia, indeed tells me there are other issues in his/her life.

That's because every person who struggles with sleep has heard this advice a thousand times. It just doesn't work for all of us.

I lift weights, and I make sure to do big muscle groups. I wake up around the same time every day, ish. I do not drink coffee in the afternoon. I do not use blue light screens at night. And any number of other advice that people keep bringing up.

Like the comment above that says if you wake up at 06, you will be tired at 23. Yeah, sure, but you still won't be able to sleep. All that does is make you more tired permanently, but sleep still doesn't happen.

People just do not work the same, some people are really more active at night. And this advice is echoed constantly whenever this topic is brought up.

For what it's worth as one bit of advice: Try to make the best of what you can do in those long deep night hours. If you can't use them for sleep, as a deep night owl, then make them count for something else that's useful. Many of history's most interesting, famous and also infamous characters (and overall very productive people by sheer virtue of their achievements) were extreme night owls. It didn't stop them from creating and working. For certain types of endeavor or work in particular, the part of the day in which the hours are put in isn't nearly so relevant as the hours simply being used in the first place.

Just a few observations from one night owl to another; I can rarely go to sleep before 4 am.

No, it's because if you have an actual medical condition, doing exercise doesn't work. I do exercise daily, it doesn't actually solve the core issue. It's like saying you can solve a broken leg with exercise.
