Not commenting on this particular case, but on the general sentiment.

Aristotle did say in Politics IV that appointing public office by lottery, drawing from the real public, is more democratic (power to the people) than elections, which is an oligarchic exercise.

I have ChatGPT app and Claude and Gemini PWAs on my dock. I gravitate towards using ChatGPT much more. It's just faster vs launching Chromium for each small query.

Rivians are very accurate

Semi-automatically. Googlers have to review it.

There's likely things we missed but we'd love to find examples you might have. We try to be scientific as much as we can https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/122275 [coincidentally a community contribution from someone who didn't have to fork :)]

The main Flutter GitHub repo does have infrastructure to run PR against all Google internal tests (which as you say, does find real bugs). https://imgur.com/a/Ih2oQIS

disclaimer: my team runs said infrastructure

https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/main/impeller/docs/fa... discusses the reasoning a bit. There's more of a difference in the approach

small nit: many daily driver apps in China are partially Flutter. But TikTok is not at the present

Anthropic is so close to getting to a WeChat-esque store-less super-app state. It just needs a way to gather all your published artifacts and surface them easily in the sidebar like your favorited chats.

Since Elon is so interested in that model, if xAI had Claude's capabilities, they would surely go with that angle

let's talk about the actual nicotine slingers

Give it a Flutter desktop UI :)

I've definitely been using it for more than a month now. My kid loves using it as an impromptu space knowledge pop quiz game with a simple system prompt.

Maybe it's released to paid users only? The only thing missing from the original announcement is voice interrupting the ongoing response (well and the Scarlett Johansson voice)

I had a car headunit with wireless Android Auto before and I drive a Rivian now. I thought it would be a degraded experience before buying the car. But I think it's probably a generally better experience now.

Context: I used Android Auto almost entirely for maps and streaming audio, and I always have my phone mounted on the dash to play some media when I drive.

1- Versus either wired or wireless Android Auto, there's just one less step after getting in the car. The car boots ready to go and navigate. There isn't a 2 step loading of the car OS, and then streaming your phone content

2- No battery usage in wireless mode. Phone runs less hot generally vs charging wirelessly or plugged in, which matters on sunny days.

3- If you're not just one-tap navigating to a routine place and you're actively searching for a destination, given how big infotainment screens are continuously getting, I just don't think it's generally a good medium for prolonged interactions. I rather hold the phone in my hands and interact with a familiar phone interface and then send the destination to the car, than doing search and explorations on a car. And I rather hold an untethered phone that isn't slowing down because of the heat from streaming when I do interact with the phone.

4- CarPlay might be better, but Android Auto still has plenty of edge cases, correctly controlling volume, play/pausing media, depending on which app was in the foreground when Android Auto got initially connected. For the first few years, Google Maps disallowed having Maps open simultaneously on the car display and on the phone. And the car app has much less features. I have to turn the engine off or turn off wifi to disconnect Android Auto and use Maps directly. Having 2 full functioning devices with a thin, mature (Bluetooth) interface between them on the Rivian is a cleaner separation.

May I ask what the use case is? What would you do with it besides using it for a screen reader (which turns it on)

A bunch of Android OEMs already baked into the OS's default camera. The Honor Magic6 Pro for instance just lets you shoot log or preview (or bake in) any number of lut while capturing. I think they had it for 4 product cycles already.

Are you referring to something specific?

which one is that?

I have a Rivian. It's equivalent to 16.7 mpg given its mi/kWh, and electricity and gasoline costs.

That isn't the OP's point I believe. I think the point was if the more productive means of production is ultra-centralized to a few owners of AI, the question wouldn't be whether to go outside, but whether you can afford to not be permanently outside, if the superstructure of society assigns housing to capital and not humans.

My kid's at the daycare (and won't be soon). The cost is more or less average.

Can you show us some first-hand sources of what exactly did happen in 10/7? If not suitable for TikTok (though gore and violence upon Palestinians are readily visible), there must be available somewhere on PeerTube or blockchain platforms.

> Performance is same as JS

Is there a source?

> Dart on web e.g. feels extremely janky to me

That's what this WasmGC is for :) Dart on web runs as dart2js whereas other platforms like Android/iOS/macOS/Linux/Windows runs as AOT arm64 or x86_64 code. Dart on wasm (as shown in demo in the article) will run better than transpiled JavaScript.

The demo shows Flutter driving https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/canvaskit. It's just a single DOM node.

The article just obfuscates the news and hides a key detail at the end. China is a huge market for everything TSMC makes. China just showed this month that they can manufacture a near current generation flagship SoC using 90%+ domestic supply chains. This makes a big revision on future outlooks in China and ripples through demand forecast and capacity planning.

15 years on dvorak and shortcuts are the primary impediment. The mac tweaked shortcuts work nicely, but they're not consistent. Swing based UI ignores them. It's also still a bit confusing dealing with ctrl-* vs anything that has a cmd, including cmd-opt-shift-* etc. Seems like re-implementing the mac tweak but in a more complete way manually in qmk would be the ultimate cross-platform solution.

China didn't ban Instagram, Facebook, Google

FWIW, half of apps you use everyday had the clipboard reading popup when running on the iOS beta when it came out.
