Well you do get promoted for simplicity if you outperform others, who do things too complicated.

For example, person A implements the simple solution, gets the project done faster while person B over engineers, has seemingly impressive stuff to talk about but at the end of the day doesn't ship.

256gb on a macbook should be illegal in 2026

Why?

If it's aimed for education, where does the need come from?

I use ~500 Gb on my laptop, but that is only because I have all my music on that thing. Doubt most students today have that need.

Absolutely ridiculous that they still offer this while macOS + Apple Intelligence already take ~30 GB

So only 226GB left??!

if you want to look up historic delay data (to make better guesses) you can use zugspaet: https://zugspaet.de/

I was considering trains for a Berlin-Frankfurt trip, and after looking at the performance of the preferred train, I'm not sure I want to still go that way: 25% cancellations :/

If your train is cancelled, you can take the next train or a different train, without buying a new ticket. The app will tell you this.

So 3h of sitting on the floor because there's no seat after a canceled one?

I mean yes, better than no transport, but it's ridiculous. And if you have an appointment in the morning, 2h of delay are a deal breaker.

I wrote a similar blogpost just a few days ago: "The Vibe Coding Slot Machine" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47022282)

there may be a selection bias here as poor people tend to be less likely to be married

"rerun" is meant in a more abstract way here; "doesn't work" is meant in the way that the app itself is bad - and doesnt sell;

ofc i'm aware of modern agent loops; without them it wouldnt be possible to build apps with the click of a button in the first place

we're seeing so many LLM releases that they can't even keep their benchmark comparisons updated
