I mostly agree. It won’t replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.

Not to say they don’t need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.

There’s value in brevity and clarity, I took two paragraphs and the other was two words. I don’t like it either, but it does seem to be the way most people talk.

Let’s be generous for a moment and assume good intent, how else would you describe the situation where the llm doesn’t consider a negative response to its actions due to its training and context being limited?

Sure it gives the llm a more human like persona, but so far I’ve yet to read a better way to describing its behaviour, it is designed to emulate human behavior so using human descriptors helps convey the intent.

I hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It’s a shame, but it’s likely true.

I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.

So you’re saying mining crypto is gonna come back into fashion?

While true, a government IDP would still be able to track what sites you’re using your tokens at, which is not great.

Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

I’m not sure, but I assume it’s because a GPS app is running on the dash somewhere, and the app keeps the phone unlocked and visible?

I’m not saying it’s right, but there us post processing that has always been done, but on modern flagships they’ve pushed into more and more.

Have you used a phone camera recently? This has been baked in for many years on every out of the box camera experience on flagship phones.

I don’t mean this as a broad category of AI defense, but this doesn’t seem much worse than a bad Photoshop job, which is perfectly reasonable standard for a shitty image macro that conveys a funny point.

The sad truth is that today traditional search engines have been run into the ground by SEO, and some how chatbots backed by LLMs are producing what Google used to call the “I’m feeling Lucky” button. It used to just automatically take you to the first result for your query which was usually what you wanted.

Now I’m even more bummed out it didn’t survive. Still a good thought experiment.

Its a progressive web app, which means it is available as a browser based site that can be installed like an app.

Additionally that “like an app” part is packaged up and available on play and FDroid stores.
