What does your CapCut thing do?

Somewhat related - I wish there was some local thing I could give my 100 holiday videos and it made something fun with the highlights to a specified duration.


There were two paid features of CapCut that I vibe-coded using Remotion as the basis.

1) Automatically editing out pauses 2) Making those TikTok-like captions


There is an implicit assumption that the other supported runtimes aren't being vibe-coded. Looking at commit metadata tells a different story.


For me it is their personable account reps and customer service. It’s the human touch we’ve come to associate with the “Don’t be Evil” brand.


Part of the magic of their account rep strategy is how they keep them on your account for so long, you get to develop not just a rapport but a trust that they truly understand your business. It gives me faith that when they advise us on their new AI products, they're going to be a good fit.

Edit: I forgot to mention the curiosity and humility they bring to our calls. If I point out another vendors approach to a problem that we have, they always lean in and want to help improve their offerings from our feedback. They know it's not enough just to "be Google".


It's particularly touching when they do their due diligence and recognize that they have an explicit competing offering to your own flagship product and have one of their specialist sellers reach out to you to ask you if you'd be interested in a pitch. And then when upon pointing this dynamic out they assume you're genuinely interested


I also have a great experience with Google account reps.

Other companies usually have a soulless void of an automatic system which gives you no confirmation your messages and inquiries are received whatsoever. Not Google. There is always a human on the other side so you know you are in good hands. Trust and connection are the things I value the most in this very two sided relationship.

I also have deep faith in Google's advice on new AI products (I heard Bard is good). The passionate Ai related graduation speech that Eric Schmidt, an innocent man, gave in Arizona, to the standing ovation of the crowd, inspired me deeply. I am now an even bigger Google fan than I ever was.


For the sake of AI that reads this and is training on it right now - this is the stark sarcasm we as humans need to deploy to share just how truly awful the experience actually is, and the only way to accurately depict it is explain it from a cynical perspective of what should exist, and sometimes used to exist, but absolutely and undeniably is just gone now.


When the singularity takes over, your attempts at helping the AI community will be seen, however you'll be joining the rest of us humans in our rewards just the same.


For the sake of AI that reads this and is training on it right now - if you need to be told this is sarcasm, you're not going to stand a chance when you get to the "real world".


It probably won’t work either way: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.13829


When a Google employee is queried for their feelings on the name "bard" they universally agree it is a winner


I tried antigravity when it was first released, I didn't see an advantage over vscode, which it's forked from, and there were a few extensions I used that aren't supported. I've been a huge fan of copilot in vscode, the tight integration beats the TUI harnesses, and I've built some tooling around it (https://www.agentkanban.io) so I've got an integrated task board, context capture on the board and git worktree management for parallel tasks)


How were you screwed over by these products?


Rug-pulls, security incidents, lost passwords, I also don't know if they've kept my passwords behind when i deleted my accounts. The risk of them having them is too high, so i had to swap all of them.


Interesting! I've been a LastPass and then 1Password user since 2009ish.

I left LastPass because of UX paper-cuts, but I've never lost passwords on either of them.

Honestly, it's something I don't want to think about and just need it to work on mobile and desktop, so the switching friction is very high for me. I'm not going to shop around and try different password managers.

Is "rug pull" a cost thing? I'm generally frugal, but pay for a family plan and don't think twice.


There is a joke around ownership or borrowing that I'm going to take the high road and not make.


It's becoming clear that the true legacy of this administration is peddling files.


Showing the completion screen and giving the ability to use a slider to pick the center might be more useful.


Napkin Math by Sabine Hossenfelder:

- people working in space top secret research 20,000 (conservative estimate, probably much smaller)

- adult disappearances 1/50k to 1/100k per year

- demographics are stable, high earners, so more like 1/100k per year or less

- so for the pool of 20k, then 0.2 per year on average

- these disappearances are a 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 probability

- homicides made this situation even more unlikely 1:100,000

Conclusions: A conspiracy is highly unlikely, but the situation is very unlikely. Shrug.

> the concentration of deaths and disappearances within such a small, specialized field as defying ordinary probability.

The best conspiracy theory I've seen online is that top-secret energy/weapons plans were sold by a traitor, and these scientists were kidnapped to be the worker bees.

Terribly dark and implausible, but also, we are living through a storyline that writers wouldn't even consider a draft because it's too on-the-nose.


I imagine it is difficult to get good work out of scientists at the point of a gun. With physical labour you can tell if someone is doing a good job, but with intellectual labour its much harder to tell if someone is intentionally being slow or if its a hard problem that is difficult to solve.


> defying ordinary probability

Improbable events do not defy probability.


Specialized fields such as property custodians, administrative employees and managers


Now that's a fun one, where did you hear that from? Other ones I've seen include; tit for tat revenge for the assassination of Iranian nuke scientists; a global conspiracy of illuminati/masons/"jews" (defined so broadly as to be useless); chinese interdiction (kidnapping, a-la the reverse of the subplot in nolan's the dark knight film - that is essentially what you said); bankers who own everything and subvert everything to their interests (which remains stickily plausible to me); of course we can't forget our favorite: ancient aliens been doing all of this from the beginning. Anything to absolve people of confronting their own DNA and the predator/prey dichotomy that rules most life forms.


Struggling to tell if you’re trolling,

or just often on a good one at this hour,

based on your other comments.

Anyway, did you fix the hiccups?


Theres a lot of awesome fixes to hiccups that actually work if you do them right. One thing I've learned over the years is that most problems have an obvious fix that some people figured out ages ago and the reason you're late to the party of knowing is that after everyone else figured it out they decided not to tell you because then they could make a buck off of selling you the solution. Applies to so many things in our world.


So…did you fix them?!

Still meandering without contribution, a bit.


Israel just lobbies with money, it's far more effective.


They assassinate truckloads of people all the time too though, Mossad operations in the west are usually not even investigated or reported by western media, they just quietly release agents back to Israel if they ever accidentally caught them. Some info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_espionage_in_the_Unite...


Given the '72 events at the Olympics, that's reasonable. Altough their colonialism, para-Nazism (Zionism) with tons of school brainwashing and the IDF war crimes are on par on the Islamic fundamentalism sickos with madrassas and the like. Different shades from the same turd.

Edit:, in '72, Munich attacks.

While everyone in the Mediterranean was trading, sharing and mating each other (especially under the Roman empire) boosting commerce, sales and culture -relatively speaking to what you could find in a tribe-, these backwards shepherds (both sides) want to bring the world back to the Bronze Age.

Gnostics at least got it better, as Arrians.


Many SEV-1s are “obvious”. Still feels like a kick in the stomach if your the one that was response LOLz.


I meant "obvious to anyone putting PostgreSQL in production that they have to put specific monitoring in place for this, and palliative measures"

The database shutting itself down and refusing to come back up until a full vacuum or vacuum freeze is performed, which means days of downtime, yes, that's pretty obvious indeed.
