> Where are the vibe coded apps that are actually good? Where are the new, innovative creations built by “normal” people? Because by now you’d think we’d see them.

They're busy using them. They're probably not GitHub users or HN readers. I've seen some really nice internal (business) apps made.

So we have to assume there’s good stuff being made by newbies that no one else is seeing?

I didn’t have to take it on faith that people were actually making amazing things with digital cameras. I could look at them. I could reproduce it.

"no it's solid boosters that do not follow the usual ballistic trajectory"

Hypersonics do not. They are extremely fast and extremely low flying.

No, hypersonic is a marketing term here that indicates 'difficult to intercept'.

It does not imply anything about speed, just automatic or controlled maneuvering later in the stage than normal missiles do.

The very definition of hypersonic requires at least Mach 5 in terms of speed.

sigh

We have had mach 5 missiles for about 60-80 years now, that's not what the novelty is.

Air defense works in layers where each layer often covers for another. S300 is good, but it's just one piece of a useful anti air defense strategy.

What?

Anthropic ($1.5B+ Settlement): In September 2025, Anthropic agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit over using roughly 500,000 copyrighted books from "shadow libraries" to train their Claude LLMs.

You can also print them at the numerous Alaska Airlines kiosks at most airports

> Alaska Airlines kiosks

Those don't exist. I guess you haven't traveled with Alaska for a while.

I fly with them all the time. You can print your tickets at the ones that do bag check in where bag drop-off is, or the attendant that checks your ID and takes your bags can print them for you.

> Iranian ballistic missile capability, at least the long range one is limited by its amount of launchers, and these are also hunted rather effectively.

The island tunnels holding many of these are problematic, which is why we are deploying troops to go tunnel hunting on the islands in the Straight.

Trenches didn't save you from artillery then either. By far the most casualty producing weapon.

> The US makes ~50k artillery shells a month at a cost of about 10k per shell.

Closer to $3000. Pre-2022 it was around $800/shell for standard 155mm HE.

Imagine how this plays out in courtrooms the world over for evidence.

We're in deep shit.

That's just a cloud with a different company's name attached.

Yeah, but a $5 VPS won't suddenly surprise you with a five-figure bill.
