> Lately it's gotten entirely flaky, where chat's will just stop working
This happens to me more often than not both in the Claude Desktop and in web. It seems that longer the conversation goes the more likely it is to happen. Frustrating.
Judging by their status page riddled with red and orange as well as the months long degradation with blog post last Sept, it is not very reliable. If I sense it's responses are crap, I check the status page and low and behold usually it's degraded. For a non deterministric product, silent quality drops are pretty bad
Bankrupt? I didn't read about any financial penalties in that article. The board fired him back in 2020 when they found out, and then he blamed 2 IT people. Instead, he got 3 months suspended sentence (in a Finnish jail, which is not exactly like a US jail). The company still exists btw.
It got bankrupt in 2021 in an aftermath of the breach. I think they sold some of their operations forward before that.
The actual breach wasn’t that advanced hacking. They had copied their production data with all the patient information to test database which was publicly available and had default credentials.
I started developing a SaaS for pasture poultry producers like me. We have laying hens and on summer we raise broilers and keeping records and organizing work was painful last season. We used Google Sheets but it’s easy to forget to update those. I’ve vibe coded it few evenings and gotten much further than I anticipated.
My goal is to get some revenue from this during next year. But if I don’t I still have one very happy daily user: me!
Tangentially relevant, is there any way to buy pasture eggs from hens that have a natural omnivore diet? I just heard about major pasture brands having 20% pufa.
> I wonder how many of the cars manufactured today are still here after million kilometers
The overwhelming majority of 1980s Toyota Tercels do not make it to a million kilometers. This one didn’t, either. It has had every part replaced, many multiple times over.
The owner has 3 donor parts cars and there’s a photo of his piles of parts like alternators. The original car didn’t last a million kilometers. He’s just been replacing parts constantly.
> My guess is none as they are impossible to fix yourself.
No they’re not. I have a lot of car friends and we all do most of our own work. One of them has now opened a shop and services BMWs including engine rebuilds of modern engines.
This is a myth. Service manuals are available. Even the digital repair tools are widely pirated, but you can generally buy a short term license to use them yourself if you want.
Don't have time to read through the whole article. But just wanted to point out that there are also Moomin cartoons which have really politically uncorrect stories: like Moomins travelling to spain, trying to buy opium but eating some weird drugs instead and then staring for sea for a week and missing their fligth back.
Sometimes when doing big task I ask claude to implement each phase seprately and review the code after each step.
