Seeing what people can do with a home made wet lab on youtube, I’m not so sure

You’ve got me curious. Examples?

Thought Emporium is basically wizardry to me, https://youtube.com/@thethoughtemporium

OMG, thank you so much. I watch Nile's wizardry with awe and joy, and this will be another level.

Thank you


don't worry that we got the wrong requirements from the customer, chose an impossible deadline, priced it wrong, and there's no market, we can just vibe code our way out of it??

The point is that even in case of total product management failure, the cost of failing is much lower both in time and money.

I don't see it. In my experience with AI/Claude so far, building something with AI then changing direction half way through is a great way to generate garbage structure and garbage code. It takes time to dig yourself out of that hole, possibly more than if you had just slowly built by hand from the beginning all. Maybe I'm holding it wrong.

If you switch directions with hand crafted code you have a mess too and a large amount of tedious refactoring work to do.

Which should be perfect work for Ai.


It might make failure faster, but that doesn't mean it's cheaper.

Users will churn quick if you aren't reliable or useful and a security incident can be company-ending for a startup.


Company-ending is a form of failure. The quicker you do that, the quicker you can start your next company.

In an odd way you’re absolutely proving the article’s point. The requirements, deadline, pricing, idea, implementation, customer story, these are the things that matter and are hard. Compared to that, code is easy.

Good thing one can be anti genocide without being pro hamas

Great news then, there are no conspiracy theories here. Just claims supported by the UN Human Rights Commission. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-c...

Would you care to provide specific critique of the report or just ad hom the authors?

Regardless, no further comment. You’re clearly an ideologue.


The UN isn't a man, it's an organization, and as shown, a deeply compromised one.

The team involved in this analysis, Forensic Architecture, have a pretty decent youtube channel showing how they do things: https://www.youtube.com/@forensicarchitecture1967/videos

can you provide that history? the best I can find is a single story where they incorrectly reported four children as dead, which I can only really find being discussed in reddit comments. surely if they have a 'documented history of being wrong' you're referring to something more material?


Depends how much you weight you place on 'anti-Israel NGO'. Assessing for myself by simply watching the content, I do not find it objectionable. Referring to what is happening in Gaza as 'ethnic cleansing' is not biased language, it is calling a spade a spade. IMO.

I skimmed through that page but did not notice anything remotely negative.

The Wikipedia page for ngo-monitor.org is quite revealing:

> NGO Monitor is a right-wing organization based in Jerusalem that reports on international NGO (non-governmental organisation) activity from a pro-Israel perspective.

Huh. You, a comment earlier: "They also have a documented history of being wrong."

Care to "refute the claims" in the linked report instead of attacking the messenger?

Even the IDF had to admit it happened when the video came out. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/world/middleeast/gaza-isr...

>- Headlin eexaggeration. "point blank range" reads like the whole event was muzzle-close. In the report it’s basically "8 shots from between vehicles" + one inferred 1–4m shot. That’s not killed point blank.

I'm sure all those distances are well below the point blank range of the weapons used by the IDF soldiers.


None of these are refutations.

For example:

> Overconfident negatives: no exchange of fire is a strong claim based on limited recordings. Absence of audible return fire in a few clips isn’t proof.

> - Quick search reveals names of 15 dead are PRCS: Mustafa Khafaja; Ezz El-Din Shaat; Saleh Muammar; Refaat Radwan; Muhammad Bahloul; Ashraf Abu Libda; Muhammad al-Hila; Raed al-Sharif. Civil Defense: Zuhair Abdul Hamid al-Farra; Samir Yahya al-Bahapsa; Ibrahim Nabil al-Maghari; Fouad Ibrahim al-Jamal; Youssef Rassem Khalifa; Anwar al-Attar. UNRWA: Kamal Mohammed Shahtout.

Even the IDF itself won't go this far in trying to muddle the waters.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-85076...

"The IDF did not use the six Hamas terrorists who were wearing dual hats, as medics and terrorists, as an excuse for the mistakes made in the episode, given that the IDF forces involved did not know whether they were Hamas – and when the soldiers got up close to them, they found that they were unarmed."


None of those things is "a history of getting things wrong". You've failed to link to any evidence criticizing their past investigations.

The problem GP is the claims and the messenger are the same in this case. I have now spent 15 minutes trying to validate your claims and can't find anything substantial. It's a waste of reader's time.

Homo economicus' desire for a 'good deal' or 'a bargain' will kill us.

“Why would I hire X when I can get it for $20 a month on ChatGPT?”

Hmm, I don’t like the sound of that.


Copyright is dead.

What is 'proper meaning'? Only a single brand of egg in my supermarket is genuinely free range per the definition supplied by our agricultural scientists (CSIRO, Australia) - less than 1500 hens per hectare. "Free range" can mean anything up to 10,000 hens per hectare.

They have a code in my country that is pretty simple from 1 to 3. The highest tier is 11 chickens per square meter apparently (I do not eat poultry myself).


Where do you get the AI acceleration? Apple Silicon chips are decent AI perf for the price afaiu

There's no need for (local) AI acceleration if you are leveraging a remote LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, etc). The vast, vast majority of users are most likely just making API calls to a remote service. No need for specialized or beefy hardware.

Not OP, but when I got glasses as an adult and while they really improved the sharpness of my vision I could feel my unassisted vision getting worse, so I stopped using them and get by with slightly unfocused but unassisted vision. I assume if I wore them full time my unassisted vision would degrade to the point where I then need the glasses full time.


I got glasses 2 years ago for a very minor prescription. Your eyesight sucked before you’ve just forgotten how badly. I had an eye test very recently for Contacts and my prescription is the same 2 years later

I've got half a diopter (ish) of astigmatism in my right eye and it can be slightly annoying but interesting to know that using glasses would risk making it worse.

The weird thing is it seems to get noticeably worse or better depending on how much time I spend outside
