I don’t blame you for using an LLM to write an article about an LLM that you built. I’ve been reading so much LLM output that now I see it everywhere. I wonder if humans will start writing more like LLMs?

I checked it on a property I own in Temecula CA. It gave me great stats but not being a farmer I didn’t talk know what I was looking at. Tooltips or links to definitions would help a lot. The property scores 64 overall.

I imagine they’re all gone now. A great example of the free market creating a niche product that was useful and affordable to its customers and the government regulating it out of existence. I’m sure there were abuses by owners but the system worked for the majority.

It’s fascinating to think about the number of PUs (procedural units) it takes to make a modern tool. Something as simple as a modern hammer must number in the thousands and a mobile phone in the millions or billions.

Well it does work

Several folks have stated that it could be just an app. I disagree. Modern versions of Android on a real phone severely limit what an app can do. It can't run forever, it can't gather any and all telemetry available to the physical device at will.

As for battery life, there's a lot you can do at the OS layer to limit what services run, but at the end of the day you're not running on a piece of hardware that has been honed by thousands of engineering hours and billions of dollars, so V1 is going to be pretty rough.

As an Android developer and someone who has studied the ASOP internals, I don’t see what the big deal is. If I were going to build custom hardware that has a custom ui then it makes complete sense to start with the open source version of Android. Google has spent billions inventing that wheel and you can use it for free. It has everything you need (except realtime). The natural way to build ui apps in Android is to make an apk. Doing anything else would be weirdly unnecessary.

If you run the hardware then an Android app can do anything you want it to.
