"And why is this maniac putting everything into the browser that does not belong there? Is the reason putting there is just to have it there?"

Haha, relax a bit. If it wasn't a browser application i wouldn't have tried it at all (most people here would not have either). I see it more of a toy than a development environment - but the fact that it seems fully functional and in the browser is impressive to me.

Anyways, 99.99% anyone using VB6 today is doing it for nostalgic purposes, not to develop real useful code - and that's probably what the project had in mind. Just a fun project.

If you did want an accurate no-changes recreation of vb6 on the desktop, just download the original vb6.

Lol, that's amazing, as soon as it loaded up i was laughing at how accurate it was . So many memories from simpler times coding as a kid.

I was going to explain the way i saw it, but i erased it and decided it's probably best not to give my thoughts in case he or someone in his life came across the comments out of respect.

Thanks for sharing this project, it indeed shares much similarity with what i want to do with it, so i'll have a look. But it should be possible to achieve the same thing on chrome - but it might not be a straight port (my chrome extension can work at hiding images based on the classification i get from the tensorflow mobilenet, but the accuracy is so poor currently it's not worth using)

So is the age of raising at a 5B valuation on a few month old ai startup with a silly name, that has nothing built, not even a product demo, but just founder name recognition, ending? How much longer before the AI gold rush is over, or even a pop happens, I wonder.

If he's hosting just some textfiles (i.e. a few KB), he won't have any aws bills that he would need to worry about prepaying. (I have a static s3 website, low traffic and low storage size, and i have not paid anything on it for years).

At least that's the case today, but the policy may change tomorrow. It's not easy to guarantee anything 10 years from now, let alone 100 years.

I'm pretty sure if you put a file on s3, make it public, it will be accessible for quite a while, with no cost (if it's just text like you're describing). I have an aws account that has the html/js stored in s3 for a static website i created, I haven't paid a bill in years on it, and the site is still running today.

I don't expect it to last 100 years though, they may very well change their free policies a year from now, hell, i don't know if AWS or even Amazon will be around 100 years from now.
