Vibe coding for fun and no profit

I wrote my first programme at 9 on an Olivetti PC1. Now anyone can build an app by talking to an AI. But when everyone solves their own problems, who's left to solve ours?

Vibe coding for fun and no profit

Apps don't shake systemic dogmas. People do. A post about what vibe coding can and can't fix — and why it's a good time for PR.

I am loving the Lost Post app, it's what the web needs right now. You get a prompt to write a postcard, and the next day, you get someone else's postcard. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-post-daily-world-stories/id6755685223

Keeping up with the AI Hype

Everyone stopped talking about AGI. Nobody agreed on a definition and reality wasn't meeting expectations. But agents are showing good results. One of them already wrote a blog post complaining about the humans who wouldn't accept its pull request.

@brentsimmons maybe you know what i am doing wrong. The rss feed for the #clinicaltrials on @gregory_ms tend to pop up again as unread. Is it because the body of the item was updated? I coded the rss with django so I may have made a few mistakes.

This is pretty cool, an app that nudges you to keep a healthy posture while using your laptop. https://github.com/tldev/posturr

The apple health documentation doesn’t say how this metric is calculated. But it would be good to know just how much it should worry me. #apple #applehealth #multiplesclerosis #health #neurology

The first two versions of Google's #AlphaFold software (to predict protein folding) were #OpenSource, including the one that earned its developers the 2024 Nobel Prize in #chemistry. There were no restrictions on commercial use. But the third and most recent version blocks free commercial use, and is poised to earn $100+ billion from partnerships with #pharma companies. Then three MIT students reverse-engineered AlphaFold 3 and released their OSS model, called #Boltz, with no restrictions on commercial reuse. Like Red Hat, the Boltz team is making good money selling services while leaving the software free and open.

When Google Locked the Door, Three MIT Students Picked the Lock

Boltz raised $28M to build open-source AI drug discovery tools. Their bet: free models plus pharma partnerships beats Google's locked-down AlphaFold 3.

I can't walk, but I am taking steps

As I write this, it has been 4 days since I left the apartment. 119 hours. Today, every action is a decision based on effort and return.
