When the decompilation like that is trivial, so is recreation without decompilation. It implies the LLM know exactly how thins work.

If someone has a robots.txt, and I want to request their page, but I want to do that in an automated way, should I open the browser to do it instead of issue a curl request? How about if I am going to ask claude to fetch the page for me?

Respect the robots.txt and don’t do it?

True, but everyone that actually made the company work was much happier for it.

Is it? I can’t say that my personal server has been (unplanned) down at any time in the past 10 years, and these global outages have just flown right past it.

Have your ISP never went down? Or did it went down in some night and you just never realized.

> Tariff's change this and make it such that domestic producers can produce things at a cost comparable, and ideally less, than other countries.

It’s the opposite. It makes things from other countries more expensive. It doesn’t make things from the US cheaper.

All prices are relative. If something is more expensive then de facto its alternatives are cheaper in comparison.

But price elasticity isn't infinite. A large part of the middle class would be priced out of most modern amenities if these would be produced domestically. Import substitution is one of these things that sounds nice in theory but tend to be highly damaging in practice.

This isn't necessarily true. A big factor when production comes back home is that so do the jobs that come along with it and that has a huge ripple effect on the economy that's difficult to evaluate, other than it being a very good thing.

Maybe regulators will have more jobs to regulate and regulators will profit.

Who said everybody would get to keep buying as much cheaply made foreign crap as before? From an environmental perspective that's arguably a win as well. Reducing both pollution from construction and transport.

That's a measurable qualify of life decrease as well for many people. Some things they just won't be able to buy anymore. Things they may require, but you claim its ok to go without because it helps the environment. Sounds dystopian.

If something (e.g. imported metal) is more expensive then alternatives (e.g. domestically refined metals) will get price increases too.

I wouldn’t be that absolute, but not until Boeing and Airbus use them in their aircraft on a regular basis.

Yes but are they printed with PLA or PETG, or even ABS? Or are they using material designed exactly for their use case, and tested thoroughly before being certified for flight?

Or do they get their parts from some vendor at a swap meet who spends most of his time fiddling with his Ender 3?

Neither of those is suitable for this application. Ultem or PEEK. Anything else would be a very bad idea, and even for those two you would want to do a lot of testing.

That was my point. They used the wrong filament. And there isn't really a right one for the cowl of a single engine aircraft

I can do this in in Tokyo, and even small town Netherlands. Though in the last I’ll only have a choice between two different crappy mouses.

I think that is the main difference: choice

30 years ago you would buy what was available locally, possibly you could obtain from the shop owner that he orders a part from his distributor's catalog and that was it. And we weren't giving it much second thought.

Now when we know we can obtain any brand or any model online we are much more picky about our component choices. I know for me it is the same in other areas I am knowledgeable like bicycle parts. Regardless of the price more often than not the local bike shop doesn't have the exact tire model I want so if I am not in a hurry I order online. I wasn't unhappy buying whatever was available back in the days as it was just not a possibility and I had less knowledge about what was available, even when receiving magazines every month. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

Does it matter? You are apparently contemplating running a third-party binary on your machine anyway. It seems a bit weird to Worry about npm’s security story, which is all about executing arbitrary code.

It’s nice that Claude allows you to make things like this just because you want them to exist, right? Making it by hand would be a multi-month project, but it seems to have taken about 3 weeks?

Completely agree - Claude multiplied my productivity in this case by a factor of 3 at least. It took ~3 weeks "wall clock time" - worked around the clock pretty intensely (got hooked! I love this) so maybe more like 1 month of normal working hours. Would have taken a lot longer than that without Claude Code and I would have given up before reaching this state.

Hmm, I haven’t managed to make it work yet, and I’ve tried. The best I can manage is three completely separate projects, and they all get only divided attention (which is often good enough these days).

Do you feel you get a faster/better end result than focusing on a single task at a time?

I can’t help but feel it’s like texting and driving, where people are overvaluing their ability to function with reduced focus. But obviously I have zero data to back that up.
