If you're looking to cut a forest for solar I think you've lost the plot regardless of any efficiency numbers.

This is really sick, is this written to a lexicon? I'd love to pull this into a link aggregator I'm working on for automated post game threads. I can throw a redirect in the UI as well

Yeah it'd pretty much have to be through a crypto with low gas fees although I guess you could do a virtual card you load up a single bigger transaction and the tip is handled via the platform

This should extend to tipping, I'd love if I could load up a wallet and throw .50-5 at any post who integrates (bsky, leaflet, etc)
It may not contribute a lot initially but it moves us culturally towards creators being able to support themselves easily on atproto

This would be really cool if you could attach these annotations to any bsky.post. It would effectively be a community note lexicon across atproto and third party clients could pick them up and show them.

I think they go hand in hand, decentralization is interoperabilies failsafe.
Ex. Reddit third party apps
We just haven't experienced the need for the failsafe yet.

I don't understand why we outsource this to a private company. It is not a complex system and has maybe 6-10 employees working at a time?
This should be an internally housed government service instead of a middleman contracter who can squeeze the gov as they please.

Your lack of nuance on AI and unwillingness to discuss the actual problem around electricity shows your intellect off well. I hope you have something else of value to over society.

It's effectively saying damn housing is expensive let's throw away cranes and build by hand again instead of pushing for effective housing policy. It's such a dumb argument that can be refuted with 5 seconds of thought but you can't afford that much?

Why do you view an increase in electricity pricing the fault of new tech vs the governments inability to adopt new electrical sources fit for the 21st century? Or vs the middlemen who refuse to upgrade their electrical systems driving up the price moreso?

I think the impact on the ego is so significant people just shut down when confronted with it which leads to a lot of the AI negativity as a defense mechanism.

Where do you draw the line? If a dev can't troubleshoot a function? A line? A file? Do you think they haven't introduced integration tests? TDD is SWE 101, and you can fully build that way agentically without a function level understanding.

If the product looks the exact same but ones been coded from scratch and the others used a highly agentic workflow. Why the assumption that the user doesn't care about the product?
They're effectively the same product at the end of the day.

To me means built via replit / one shot prompt vs using SWE principals with LLMs
Many answers here would pin a lot of SWEs in the industry as vibe coders, which is obviously not true.
Huge disconnect here between this crowd and the SWE industry imo which is interesting.

I also have a broken one from having a misconfigured well known file on the initial Appview Index and it won't update the profile.
