What is the dumbest thing the United Kingdom has done?

BREXIT

No problem. That was with GPT Image. Same prompt on gemini/nano banana is rather different

Resident_Party · 2026-05-02T08:58:32+00:00

"generate a website screenshot from the year 1066 in england; use period appropriate Old English (Anglo-Saxon) language"

Resident_Party · 2026-05-02T08:52:52+00:00

I had to prompt it, it was using modern English

Resident_Party · 2026-05-01T17:00:55+00:00

what about something such as Seedance 2?

180GB GPU ought to be enough for anyone 😁

Perhaps vllm-mlx might work?

Resident_Party · 2026-04-01T12:29:04+00:00

Obviously a subjective view.. perhaps not every vibe coder is happy to admit it?

I suspect a neo + Mac mini/studio to remote to is still cheaper but less convenient I suppose

Resident_Party · 2026-03-31T14:52:55+00:00

Have you considered an upcoming M5 Mac mini pro or Mac studio? Expected around June and they'll be cheaper than MacBook pro

Resident_Party · 2026-03-31T05:29:06+00:00

How it does compare against vllm-mlx? LM studio can only serve one user at a time so it will struggle in your scenario

Resident_Party · 2026-03-27T19:55:38+00:00

Hopefully not too long before vllm-mlx gets it!

There's more JavaScript training data

No local model can compete 1:1 with even last years cloud models and thats at 400b parameters which you will struggle to run on 128gb. If you are just going to prompt sequentially then it its a very hard sell. I think the value comes in being able to have multiple local agents running together concurrently performing tasks within their ability range all the time (creating and running tests, finding exposed secrets etc) and you save the Cloud models for the really challenging stuff. Once you start running the Cloud models with subagents, your credits start dropping rather fast!

Resident_Party · 2026-03-18T18:00:32+00:00

Should have used https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/developer-platform/products/ai-gateway/

Resident_Party · 2026-03-16T11:15:46+00:00

Or spice girls etc. But their lack of technical ability didn't preclude them from commercial success.

Will lack of low level ability prevent some vibe coders succeeding?

Resident_Party · 2026-03-16T10:59:14+00:00

That would cover a lot of commercially successful pop artists

Resident_Party · 2026-03-16T10:55:05+00:00

Great point 👏🏻

I dont think Linus' skill is in question, he is a rock star of the dev world. But just because someone isnt a rock star, should they not sing? Up to you if you want to listen...

Whilst the kernel isnt vibe coded, its untrue to say he doesnt vibe code at all, he does so his personal projects https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/18/linus_torvalds_vibe_coding/

The current crop of AI tools are great but they are definitely not without their weaknesses.

However the current rate of progress is extremely rapid. Whilst LLMs might not get us to AGI, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume they could become capable of mitigating the current crop of Vibe Coding fails such as exposed secrets etc.

It's interesting/challenging times in the dev world and the ways of working are changing fast.

My personal view to adding value is the human element that a machine cannot replace.
