  • Dedicated mobile apps for vibe coding have so far failed to gain traction | TechCrunch

  • Is this a common enough occurrence that you'd pay a subscription for an app to do this? I can't think of many use cases

  • Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that!

  • That's rather cool, glad to hear it worked. My experience with it is often:

    Where can I find this setting to change for this thing? "Gladly! I know how frustrating this process scan be! First, open the settings page, find the page that says "*\thing setting and change it there" There is no page like that " You're absolutely right!"

  • I've recently moved away from Spotify and to Pandora, ironically.

    Pandora premium let's you play whichever track you want, they are not longer exclusively stations, but their station algorithm is the reason I decided on them over other spotify alternatives

  • Nope. At some point spotify forced FREE users to shuffle play playlists. You couldn't pick which specific song you'll hear first. And with ads, obviously.

  • This is the entire point of LLM, it creates something that has the right 'shape' statistically of what you ask for, but the content is not guaranteed to be accurate, true, appropriate, or up to date.

    So, if a random person asks for a legal document, and they receive something that "looks right" it is very impressive to them because they can't see the flaws that a professional or expert would see. And for some applications that's Good Enough, but it's nowhere near being PhD levels smart

  • Too true. The real steal of the century is convincing the commons that their lack of success is a personal failing rather than a system designed to keep then down

  • It just isn't gamification to distribute coupons digitally though. That isn't what gamification is.

    I'm not trying to suggest that distributing the coupons digitally is the gamification, I'm arguing that the shift to app only coupons and 'rewards' and 'app exclusive deals' overall is a form of gamification.

    You're boasting about how you min-maxxed their system, you're gonna tell me that they didn't find a way to lure you in with a bit of dopamine when you think you've found a hack?

    I remember a couple years back the limit to app coupons was once per day and they've changed it to 15 minutes. All of these coupon restrictions are arbitrary, they control the whole system.

    • 20% off $20
    • Free X after Y team won
    • Tuesday only deal, free fries friday

    A set of rules that can be applied. takes advantage of human desire to optimize. sounds like gamification to me

  • You're describing an elaborate maneuver to get a meal at the price it used to be without "app exclusive deals" etc. The turn to app-ification is shit.

    McDonald's has traded "cheap" and "convenient" for gamification. They're not the only ones, either
