If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?

SSTOs are viable in KSP

While that’s certainly annoying, valkey IS the better option.

They REALLY enjoyed that lower risk

Yeah, you get some offline capabilities (like recording video to local storage) when you have a PWA. Obviously app or not, nobody is going to be uploading video without an internet connection.

Indeed, the situation would be a problem for years, but really that’s it. It’s a somewhat light punishment for an absolutely crazy amount of activity in LEO.

Obviously if we had a similar issue in Geostationary orbit, that could permanently stunt humanity’s space activities.

Probably doesn’t need to run in the background unless I’m missing some feature?

What? No man, this is all standard mobile web stuff.

I guarantee you that all this can be done in Mobile Safari. I have done it before.

You have to go through the “Share > Add to Home Screen” workflow instead of having the site simply install it for you, so it’s a bit more effort (and confusion) on the user’s part.

Kessler Syndrome at low earth orbit has always been a stupid argument since it’s a self-correcting problem. But the atmospheric destruction due to aerosolizing the satellites on reentry is concerning and should be reviewed quickly.

Surely all of those things can be done in a browser. You can grant location and camera permissions to a website easy enough. And encrypted transfer can be done any number of ways. Offline recording is possible with localstorage. All of this seems very achievable and effectively uncensorable by Apple.

The only thing it can’t get is App Store search rank.

Sure, but let’s also not discount the idea that a significant percentage of businesses need no more than a single static HTML page for their website. I don’t find it a problem for a person to vibe code that up instead of hiring a real web developer.

Ehhh, I don’t think the comparison they’re making here is right. Leaning on open source software is not just for lazy developers - it’s often the best architectural choice.

I can’t think of a situation where vibe coding is the best choice except for when speed matters much more than quality, and even then only sometimes.

The world sorely needs this. Very nice work.

Nah man, Microsoft doesn’t give their OS away for free. The ads are just greed on top of an already expensive product.

If they stopped showing so many ads, maybe they’d leave enough memory to run an operating system.

Some code is boilerplate and can’t be distilled down more. It’s nice to point an AI to a database schema and say “write the Django models, admin, forms, and api for this schema, using these authentication permissions”. Yeah I’ll have to verify it’s done right, but that gets a lot of the boring typing out of the way.

Blockchain is primarily touted as a replacement for currency.

That’s the thing, AI is an exceptional propaganda machine. Blockchain isn’t really exceptional at anything - it’s just a reinvention of the wheel.

Very cool. Difficult to pull off with SDXL, but looks like they did it!

I’m thinking Kontext or Nano banana would be a more ideal workflow for this.

I know I’ll be looking into a similar workflow in the future
