       update on the person vibe coding a windows 11 replacement: he got to a login screen, but it looks straight out of windows NT 3.51and he considers this "good"

       @rnd i have no idea.  i haven't looked at the code.  but this type of argument does not really sway me much, as in many cases, there is only one obvious way to write an algorithm

       @rnd my concern with all this bullshit is two-fold:1. it creates dependency on commercial inference providers, who can cut you off at any time ("first hit is free" etc)2. people use it as a substitute for actual experts, despite it not being an expert in anything and instead a mere token predictorthe substitution of actual experts with a predictor appears like a boon when in reality you have no idea whether its output is accurate, making it inherently untrustworthy
