It’s not safe to feel safe.

Well, I do have MBSE on the brain, but the idea here is more like a low-code/no-code environment with an ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS “pit of success”… so large that even GenAI can reliably fall into it. Numbered tabs, you go left to right answering questions and fiddling with with prompts, paint-by-numbers for working software.

I imagine that it is theoretically possible to successfully vibe-code, but probably not with a conventional project layout nor would it look much like traditional programming. Something like your interaction primarily being a “requirements list”, which gets translated into interfaces and heavy requirements tests against those interfaces, and each implementation file being disposable (regenerated) & super-self-contained, and only being able to “save” (or commit) implementations that pass the tests.

…and if you are building a webapp, it would not be able to touch the API layer except through operational transforms (which trigger new [major] version numbers]. Sorta like MCP.

Said another way, if we could make it more like a “ratchet” incrementing, and less like an out-of-control aircraft… then maybe?!?

Yes. They all get several up-votes, this one included.

So even if it does not move, this pawn could get promoted by some future tile-slide… come to think of it, I guess two pawns could get promoted in the same turn via a tile-slide.

That would be the brute force approach.

So now that the black pawn has reached “the last rank”, does it get promoted?

That stick is a fine line between order and chaos.

Excuse me, sir. May I have a quart of cat?

Sounds like a philosophical question.

AFAIK it is an anime trope. I think it is called “sudden realism”.

IIRC, I had a PC (since sold) that had secure boot permanently enabled from the factory. That is, in spirit, a PC with a “locked bootloader”, but you might not even notice because many Linux distros have that Microsoft-blessed Linux loading shim… but it is still Microsoft inserting themselves between you and your hardware; they could decide in the next few years they no longer “support” Linux, hypothetically.

It was not immediately obvious from the image (though you might see the starfish for scale), but these things are huge!

It makes you wonder if they have a whole bunch of training data in this style, or if it is the mathematical average of all cartoon styles mashed together.

Are you suggesting I should have asked it to reprocess the image, or ask it to try again?

You probably rightfully decline when your browser asks you “Allow somenews.site to send you notifications?”

I would say simply to avoid buying phones from ad-companies, but more generally… if you buy hardware from vendors that respect ownership (i.e. that have user-unlockable bootloaders) then you don’t really have to worry about this kind of thing, as even if the company turns evil later, you can probably flash the phone with a 3rd party rom.
