In my opinion the LLMs in the "cloud" reached plateau. Still the same probabilistic hallucinations. No idea what they gobbled up. It's a non-reliable circus type of thing. In fact I more and more go directly to Wikipedia or Grokipedia (if you want to know about Odin etc). There is more and more guardrails and talkbacks. They try to make it more human which makes it even more unusable. My guess, more and more marketing people get involved and things turn to unusable shit. I am more optimistic about local llms in a few years where there won't be any guardrails and you will be able to tweak the model how you like and not some marketing specialist at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Next to Epstein.

Yeah, there were about 5 or 10 videos about this "complexity" and unpredictability of 3rd parties and wheels involved that AI doesn't control and even forget - small context window - in like past few weeks. I am sure you have seen at least one of them ;)

But it's true. AI is still super narrow and dumb. Don't understand basic prompts even.

Look at the computer games now - they still don't look real despite almost 30 years since Half-life 1 started the revolution - I would claim. Damn, I think I ran it on 166 Mhz computer on some lowest details even.

Yes, it's just better and better but still looking super uncanny - at least to me. And it's been basically 30 years of constant improvements. Heck, Roomba is going bankrupt.

I am not saying things don't improve but the hype and AI bubble is insane and the reality doesn't match the expectation and predictions at all.

The problem is that all are quite tall which is a problem with some older sofas etc. Samsung did one "slim" model I think some time ago, but not sure if you can still buy it.

Google is too big to fail. It's the backbone of the Internet. Just YouTube is synonymous with online video.

Codex is the way.

even reddit throws a lot of 503s when adding/editing comments

My dream is that The Qt Company will make some monstrous deal with the EU and all the licensing will become 100% opensource while they will be tasked and paid to maintain it longterm and work on it.

I agree. I don't mind VS Code or some app a person did eats 300 MB of RAM and is Electron if it does the job done. By the way good luck implement something like rtl, i18n, text select and right click context menus in you favorite C/Go/Rust/ImGui/ImmediateModeWhatever library.

Wanna switch between Arabic, Chinese, English in a textarea or input or the whole app? Trivial in Electron. Again, good luck with that in any other environment.

Electron is superior for any text/form apps. HTML/CSS/JS are truly magical if you dive deeper and for any form-like classical type of crud apps there is really no better option.

With our computers getting more RAM and disk space every few years - especially compared to AI needs, Electron is actually super lean compared to those AI llms models. Funny enough, LM Studio is an Electron app ;)

The author is very aggressive and pushy, he makes fun of people who disagree with him on Discord and now even here on hackernews. Notice the pattern of his comments/responses - he tends to belittle people. On Discord he use vulgar language - here he is more careful to maintain image. But it still permeates through his comments no matter how hard he tries to mask his true self.

You are wrong. A few months ago before the Pro announcement I was exploring HTMX, Unpoly and Datastar was the new thing. It looked cool - especially the demo of a game like thingy. But the page was kind of unresponsive still. This is a common pattern among even Liveview pages where the server roundtrip is still a thing unlike in a typical SPA despite it beings using SSE it's still not local React/Svelte/Vue app experience. That's why you will end up moving more and more parts to Alpine from Livewire/Liveview .... anyway.... I asked the guys on the Discord channel for Datastar how would I do the spa like page navigation between pages. And he got irritated - probably because this wasn't the first time somebody asked that - and told me that I don't get Datastar that that is wrong, Datastar don't care about that. But it was in a such weird aggressive way , he was mociking me, my intelligence and used very childish ad hominem attacks. I then left. And ok, he doesn't like the spa navigation or datastar doesn't care with that at all, but the way he addressed via an attack on me was super negative. You don't call people idiots because they would like from Datastar a functionality that is common in HTMX, Unpoly, Liveview or Livewire. Perhaps they have something like that - or in the PRO version, but I don't care. If you want realtime go with Phoenix Liveview instead - their community is much more friendly and mature.
