sending your texts by virtual carrier pigeon.
I’m tired of these virtuals taking jobs away from real working pigeons.
Funnily enough transferring data by pigeon is still the fastest method, beating pretty much any kind of connection.

I thought loading a truck with tons of TB hard drives had the highest “bandwidth”… high latency, though.
Sometimes, sure. It depends on the speed of the connection, the distance, and the number of files and their sizes transferring. In some cases transferring from a USB stick can be barely faster than than downloading to the point of being not worth the effort of walking in to another room to get the stick laying there with the data already on it.
Obviously. We’ve all used the internet. Everyone knows it takes a few milliseconds to ping someone on the other side of the planet. No one thinks a pigeon can travel that fast. Also, yeah, transferring off the device may take longer, but we don’t include unpacking files in download speed, for example. It just counts when the data arrives.
Some people see clickbaity headlines like that and think it means that using a pigeon would always be faster, since it’s the implication the headline gives.
If the files are packed on the pigeon delivered USB we’d need to transfer them to the drive and then unpack them as well. That’s a step that would be needed regardless of delivery method, but transferring the files to the computer is a step only needed for the pigeon delivery method.
Who is faster definitely depends on speed yes
How is this different from roos.social?
Author says on reddit that it’s vibe coded. Boo.
So… he vibe coded it, hit a bug he couldn’t fix, and said, fuck it, it’s a feature.
Hit a bug The AI couldn’t fix
The coder also couldn’t fix it. Or wouldn’t.
people who wibecode are not coders, they generally have no idea what the text does that the llm spouts to them.
Yes, because this is critical production code that is clearly too important to not go through stringent review.
It could have at least been a fun learning experience for the developer, but instead they just wrote some text and let the computer program it.
It’s absolutely possible to learn a lot while using an AI coding assistant; it can be like having a patient and supportive Stack Overflow instead of one that just closes all your questions as duplicates. That does require using it intentionally though.
That’s not what vibecoding is. Vibecoding is literally what I said and not just it being an assistant.
It even specifically requires GPS location unlike other messengers. Boo.
Anything worth doing is worth reviewing.
What if it becomes the next twitter?
I mean the name is available now, isn’t it?
So just UDP?
AI (Avian Intelligence). Nobody truly knows how it works.
TCP/Avion
EDIT: Meh, they’ve removed the example picture for “packet loss”.
But then there’s this:
It’s real!
That’s a hell of a pigeon that can fly at 192mph
