If I were 17 again, I would probably be single-mindedly focused on getting laid adequately and getting into something non-STEM. Or at least I hope so.

UK - India (almost; sort of) free trade deal. For a country like India even talking on this topic is like not a different railway track, but going on sea route from a train route - it's that day and night. But I do agree with the OP that the protest/retaliation is scattered and slow and poor.

The worst part is, even now they are saying they will "match". That alone says they are not retaliating, they are registering a protest, maybe just not a meek protest.

Zellij feels like what Jekyll is/was for blogging, at one point, at least the way people were suddenly pursuing it. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.

Or Claude/etc on their personal computers and then even live dangerously.

> It's a great drafting partner

This I have been doing a bit. I strictly asks it to never give me suggestions but raise questions, concerns, tell me if it feels if something can be better, style-wise or otherwise without giving me those options.

And a bit of other overall feedback requests.

And if the model adheres to this and doesn't jump the gun, it indeed works quite nice. But it often jumps the gun, forgets, doesn't give a f- about my instructions, or whatever. Maybe more robust local models will better.

Indeed. The previous one doesn't even have glm 5.3 listed.

Now if only there will be a normal sized phone (the old "normal") from Moto with such OEM endorsed kind of support of Graphene then I might as well let go of my fruit no. 17. Yes, I will.

> The statue was discovered in two parts

So maybe it was about one of those parts and the lower one looks like it could be a decent paving stone.

Right :)

As for invoking @dang, I hope dang at least has some sort of custom notification for his own username mentions. I wouldn't mind this entire thread/sub-thread getting nuked, along with mine and your comments (yes, both!). But as things go on hn, and dang has emphatically shown over the years, some OT discussions are more OT than other OT discussions. So yeah, there you go.

And you specifically pointing out things in your comment? There was a reason I chose not to reply to you. (And no, I am not implying you should not have chosen to reply to me, not at all!)

I am not sure where you are from but just look at PC's comments and notice the clear and pronounced ideology segue from the first comment of this thread to the comments down this thread. Just notice how, as the the typical for the right, this commenter slowly starts saying things like "Who even writes these articles?" for anything that clashes with or questions questions their ideology. Very specifically pointing out "free bus rides to women" which is very famous in India and associated with a state not run by the BJP (i.e central ruling party)

> Businessmen were able to navigate all this mess and were suddenly unable to handle GST? Please!

I mean someone can say this with straight face in India today? Ffs :D

Anyway what I am trying to say is - PC very swiftly tried to portray that they are here for "engaging" until they were not and to resort the "this is fake media" style of engagement.

I mean ffs PC themselves linked an article by India Today. Yes, India Today.

May sound very similar but it's more like if everything is going down, the strongest one is going to go down last. It's not really "unlikely to be a scenario where the US becomes insolvent" — it's that if it happens, it happens last. And a lot of that just has to be because the US "owns" the dollar, and the world ended up picking (let's not get into how) the dollar as the reference point for their own currencies; aka everyone's reserve currency.

So no matter how much the US fucks up, they just print more and more dollars and ensure the entire world collectively pays up for their fuck-ups. But if the US doesn't fuck up and does something good, then the benefits of that? Oh, that's a different story. No excessive benefit printing, no sir.

All hail exorbitant privilege.

Very quick scans - as it always has been. Very flippant and cynical and carefree/less about anything others post here or I post than I used to (and that wasn't a lot to begin with). So this has changed.

What changed more? I rarely read an article now. Rarely! I don't feel like it and whenever I bother it's just not worth it. That has been the biggest shift for me.

In last year or so (or more), hn has become almost 100% monotonous. So much that it is distasteful.

Fair but the idea of "running your LLM setup" at every "need" level and corresponding cost does make sense.

For a lot of people (and orgs I'd guess) who just go and buy ≈$20 per month plans (or more for teams), they might not even need a fraction of that cost or capability. A lot of them don't even need it for coding or graphics. Even the API access based pricing aren't great from these frontier US AI houses. The distribution of "LLM being" offered will also give rise to many open-router like offering but at the end point level - direct interfaces to the customers. Pick your vendor sort.

AI shouldn't become another "search means Google".

Flutter is quite good for shipping quickly and a set of decent same/similar apps. You lose some "quality" and a lot of "native performance" and feel (yes, that's important distinction here. So the usage, if still it will be used, will be limited to that I believe.

KMP I guess missed the ship and that ship has sailed quite deep into the ocean now. PWA won't be a choice anymore except for the "niche" usage.

React Native? I guess there will be use cases for this (at least for a while) as it is deeply entrenched into too many apps and many of those are very famous apps. Besides there's always been automasochism for the reason to pick react native.. so that's there :D

I will also expect native to pickup now (unless we only see single person tech teams now) because of AI. I mean as LLMs started getting better at coding my first thought as a native dev was - hah, hopefully people won't have to deal with such monstrosities in even small teams now.

Also, not having to see a package.json with a trillion entries (and counting) alone can put all these choices above RN for me.

I see Tata Neu and BigBasket there. That I guess flutterhunt team put there as a joke (and not as a showcase), didn't they? At least in terms of quality? Because god I've used these apps!

Further:

> I just hate most things around Android.

and yet you say

> React Native: totally viable

It's just strange someone "hating things about Android" and then is "totally viable" about things react native. This must be some "personal" sort of hatred. I am saying this as someone who has always struggled and cursed the toolings around Android and then started appreciating it once I had to deal with "xcode world" and things "web dev". React native? That was another level of nightmare relatively speaking from development perspective.

Few years ago this very AI/ML created a frenzy and CS graduates started becoming many fold. Little did they know…

There are not many companies around with so much of voluntary important/intimate personal data as Dropbox has. PEs have gone for smaller note taking apps.

> ICloud went on to become a bigger business than Dropbox

And a worse app/service and that's saying something because Dropbox isn't even a shell of what it used to be. I'd agree with Jobs' observation of original Dropbox being a feature. But not any more.

As for "take it".. really?

> The product has largely remained the same

It seems to be coming from someone who hasn't been using Dropbox, at least not of late.

Also, I think their paying users used to be 2-3%. So yes PEs like this kind of chance of quick squeeze and squeeze and dry it and then leave it to die. I would reckon PEs would see a lot of one-time juice making opportunity here.

I've compromised a lot with Electron (because I finally had to!) but never for a lightweight text editor app. Never!

Here are some alternatives if anyone is looking

And if you must have an electron one then here are some FOSS options https://marktext.me

No one would know that other than Fastmail and regulators. But what I can say is keeping different emails for different purposes might be the way. Unless your domain also has none of your PII attached to you, neither is any of your email interactions. It's not ideal but I finally stopped fighting it and use few emails that offers both privacy and anonymity if I ever need that.

Among these runbox is quite good and my friend has used migadu for a few years and likes it even though he says the "soft" limits still make him uncomfortable even though so far he has never hit them; so I guess that should be fine. Posteo doesn't support custom domains (I've used them and otherwise they are good). I wouldn't go with Proton ever. Mailo seems new - never heard of them. Would love to get a review.

mailbox.org can be avoided if you need to send and receive emails from domains where the mail admins might not be email admin savants and/or privacy activists (sometimes that's not a choice in case of Govt services etc and you may not live in a country when you can get those changes done). Also, if you ever face an issue and send them an email, expect the reply to come in weeks (if you are lucky) and that too a flippant (sometimes even terse) nothing-mail and then if you respond the cycle repeats until you give up.

They didn't need to. When you start denying IAMP to your customer in the name of "encryption" at that point it becomes privacy theatre, instead of privacy, irrespective of how nobly activist their intensions are. It is probably slightly worse than a mail provider assuming they can't trust their users with encrypting their emails when needed.

The US data replicas will be resilient, and when the FBI asks your data to reveal things about itself, your data will refuse to reveal anything about itself in the characteristic resilient manner. That's why the mention of "resilient".

I have never understood their 50+10 GB storage as the starting plan. Anyone storing a lot of emails, please don't come at me screaming, but know that not everyone keeps every email and every attachment ever received right there in that email account (especially the attachments). For me, email is just communication i.e timed information, not data storage, except for very personal emails, and very very rare, some non-personal important emails. So some people do like to simply delete the emails they no longer need. Also their pricing almost feels like "unlimited storage" backup solutions mass pricing strategy.

The discussion started about cost-vs-usability, and then you brought in "but humans, the best LLMs around, cost much more" into this discussion to make it a not cost-vs-usability discussion. Do you not find it a bit disingenuous?

How does all this AI generated code blocking gappen? Does a human decide that or an AI is tasked with sequencing that PR's DNA to ascertain its possible inhuman origins?

What if someone generates code with AI and then goes into the IDE and then bathes it, dresses it (including adding comments) etc, in a way a human would? What then? No, here I am not exploring a way to fool the code DNA checking, but rather trying to find out what the real problem is with the AI generated code? (Other than license issues, too many PRs etc)

You are not indicating that's dang, are you? I'd never believe that :D

What happened to HN's new queue? What changed? I only watch homepage so I wouldn't know.

Also, dang ought to make a new tab "Trends" (or just name that "AI") and move all AI/LLM/etc posts there. We might possibly see something other than AI then.

> So building is faster, but marketing—not so much

Producers are AI/agents now but consumers are still human beings. Maybe it will be different when it will be: by the AI, for the AI, of the AI… etc and humans will be safely out of the consumption loop.
