Cursor AI’s abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of “vibe coding”—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole’s “vibe code” controlling it.

“WTF, none ‘a these are fuckin’ socks!”

At 14, me and most of my peers could navigate a file system on DOS, format floppies, install games from setup disks, and edit autoexec.bat files.

Yes, there is a huge difference between the teens of today and the teens of 25 years ago. Technological illiteracy is real thanks to the iPhone era and UIs becoming stupid simple to use.

The “iPad kids” meme didn’t originate from thin air.

Must be your instance. I can see it fine from kbin.melroy.org, which also uses the mbin software.

May my first website be forever under construction.

Too often, the vertical location (Z-axis) information that 911 call centers receive is not easily usable

So…use the barometer in tandem with GPS? This is shit I can easily track from my personal Homassistant server.

Also, you know how to make GPS more reliable, secure, and redundant? You launch more GPS satellites.

without much depth

How much “depth” do you expect to get out a group of animals acting “mostly” natural and without a single line of human dialog? With those limitations, I think it excelled. There were even a couple tearjerker moments, for me at least.

I don’t know what old internet you used, but the IRC channels and forums I used to run around on definitely had moderation. This was about '97. Maybe you’re talking about the late 80s when barely anybody knew the Internet even existed and it was just academics and ubernerds?

Something wrong with:

#include <Arduino.h>


void loop()  {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

? 😂🤮

Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.

Assembly: you are a cyborg.

I’m not just talking about employment. At some point, we all engage in something that leads to something immoral and unethical.

And you are completely morally clean with everything you do in life and interact with? Stones, glass houses, etc.

Sounds like you need to touch yourself more, actually. It’s okay. Everyone does it.

Because we want a more permanent solution than one that’s only going to last until Summer. What’s even the point of switching if you just gotta do it again soon?

Edit: Winter too. I apologize to our friends on the southern hemisphere.

Not being able to fully trust the results from the Ai Pin’s Ai Mic and Vision features (the latter is still in beta) is just one problem with this wearable computer.

That’s the problem with ALL gen-AI!! They aren’t knowledge databases. They are pattern generators. When will people get this through their skulls?

It’s also a security risk. Wasn’t there just a recently discovered backdoor in some widely used library that was put there by someone who fooled a burned out/depressed maintainer?

Normal, mainstream software expected users to run DOS commands and edit autoexec.bat/config.sys files, and installing new hardware often involved configuring motherboard DIP switches and trying to figure out what “IRQ” and “DMA” means. There is no equivalent to that today. Plug it in, turn it on, and you’re done. 9 times out of 10 you don’t even need to install a driver, your OS already has it. Where does the door to learning and discovery present itself? With plug and play systems and walled garden app stores, everywhere a user could possibly come across some more advanced concepts has been muted and decorated over with pretty conveniences. Computers are toasters now.
