Certainly not the first time something like this happened. During Vietnam, the US Army sent soldiers into combat with the M16 knowing that it had major issues that often caused it to jam. We’ll never know exactly people were killed by such a bad decision, but it quickly became infamous early in the war.[0]

Curious to see how this works out. The flight booking example is interesting because it’s one of the last purchase powers I’d want to hand over to an AI.

If it gets a major travel detail wrong, purchases a business class ticket on accident, etc. and I need to adjust the booking by calling the airline, then I’m way less happy than I was if I just bought the ticket myself. Not to mention what happens when Google flights gets a UI refresh and knocks the accuracy rate of the agent down even 10%.

Digital criminals are gonna love it, though.

I’m personally much more interested in automating browser tasks that aren’t economically valuable because that mitigates the risk.

Is Claude Code really that good? I'm currently using Cursor and I let it pick the LLM model to use.

CodingJeebus · 13 days ago

If Cursor works for you, then stick with it. Claude Code is great for terminal-based workflows. Whatever makes you more productive is the better tool.

I’m just glad we’re getting past the insufferable “use Cursor or get left behind” attitude that was taking off a year ago.

Historically, the infantry ranks in the US military tend to come from the working class, not the wealthy. If MOH recipients disproportionately come more from forward deployed troops than the officer commissioned class, it makes sense that there’s a larger contingent of recipients who are immigrants or come from immigrant families.

One enterprise angle to open source models is that we will develop advanced forms of RPA. Models automating a single task really well.

We can’t rely on api providers to not “fire my employee”

Labs might be a little less keen to degrade that value vs all of the ai “besties” and “girlfriends” their poor UX has enabled for the ai illiterate.

Totally agree, stuff like this completely undermines the idea that these products will replace humans at scale.

If one develops a reputation for putting models out to pasture like Google does pet projects, you’d think twice before building a business around it

> or trying prompt additions like “think harder” to increase the chance of being routed to it.

Sure, manually selecting model may not have been ideal. But manually prompting to get your model feels like an absurd hack

Local-First & Sync-Engines are the future. Here's a great filterable datatable overview of the local-first framework landscape: https://www.localfirst.fm/landscape

My favorite so far is Triplit.dev (which can also be combined with TanStack DB); 2 more I like to explore are PowerSync and NextGraph. Also, the recent LocalFirst Conf has some great videos, currently watching the NextGraph one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaadDmZWIzE).

How is the database migration support for these tools?

Needing to support clients that don’t phone home for an extended period and therefore need to be rolled forward from a really old schema state seems like a major hassle, but maybe I’m missing something. Trying to troubleshoot one-off front end bugs for a single product user can be real a pain, I’d hate to see what it’s like when you have to factor in the state of their schema as well

Is that even possible on a modern vehicle? I thought all of the major brands were now selling your location data.

CodingJeebus · 17 days ago

Not really, all major auto manufacturers in the US AFAIK have trackers in their vehicles nowadays.

Absolutely shameful behavior by the state here. I can only imagine the kind of fear that stories like this must strike in parents, as if it's not worrying enough to consider to possibility that your child could meet an unfortunate end, but that the system will make sure that you, the parent, will be punished for it.

If something as banal as crossing the street can yield major knock-on legal consequences, what's really off the table at this point?
