That is what the Palantir guy (Karp) has been warning against. People/business need to keep their IP instead of throwing it all into Claude and whatnot. Risk being the worst aspects of communism which I think he meant centralization of

Yes, declarative UI is just an abstraction of imperative code. :) The rest is properties of the internal implementation. The VDOM way obfuscates the internals more. Doesn't let you control rendering appropriately. It is so because the

It is virtual dom like. We don't have access to a stable underlying element like we would with plain UIKit. You can build declarative models without this virtualdomness. But SwiftUI was created during the react boom so they went with

Just like any engineering and business decision, this is a tradeoff. I probably don't see things from the same vantage point. Can't help but notice a trend however. What if this accelerates, especially with AI being an enabler?

That would be a huge mistake if we expect many more hardware and OS running them efficiently than just iOS and Android. Best is to have an IR. Now maybe that IR can be turnt into native code. But we shouldn't be constrained. As an inco

AI still does not do pattern matching the same way my brain works. I still see things that can be improved where the AI just go with what is most common. If I nudge it, it realizes it. If I don't, I get basic software. Just as I speak,

Not obvious from our discussions with friends or even from videos on youtube about everyone wondering how they are ad tracked. They care but then it has been made very difficult to find privacy preserving services. Or convenience takes over

Unfortunately I can't do that. My projects are too big now. In fact, this is how I deal with projects: I build the base manually and then I can iterate with AI faster once the fundamentals are solid. Sometimes the AI tends to forget th

But who is going to trust Facebook/Meta with everything? Even my parents are wary of their products. I can't see a personal assistant coming from them and being successful.

I don't think I can ever be motivated by such challenges. It's either I'm getting up to speed to the state of the art from the very basics and then I can try to figure out if something was missing along the way or solve unsol

It has to be a bell curve doesn't it.. I am too much of a perfectionist... Then again, my llms constantly claim that I am doing things that are beyond the SOTA. Even my own mom lost hope.. Still haven't shipped a single thing... h

Of course they do, regardless of the language. That is why we have things such as string interning for instance. :)

Well if pointing out where you are mistaken is insulting, excuse me but I will keep being rude. Feel free to quit the conversation. What you do not seem to understand is that with a normal Android distribution, you expect a phone home tied

I recognize this comparison style. Definitely generated by Claude. haha

by aatd86 2mo ago
You are just not making any sense. Your very first comment is the one taking offense with the word 'bootleg' erroneously... If your worry is about phone-home, no need to mention Android specifically. This happens with all off the

by aatd86 2mo ago
I din't make an argument about "bootleg", I just used the term and you argued it. Besides, depending on the actual OSI license, you can definitely have bootlegs if you really care to argue. A bootleg does not need to be explo

So pedantic, you must be fun at parties. Or maybe are you arguing for the sake of arguing? Fake Android if it suits you better.

I said bootleg Android didnt I? Are Android phones using mods or a complete revamped version?
23.
by aatd86 2mo ago
You didn't get it. I'm talking about fake Android. Not GrapheneOS or similarly a whole other OS that doesn't try to pass as Android.

It's not much import loops rather than introducing fine-grained conditional compilation, since behavior changes depending on whether a trait is imported or not. That has an effect on incremental compilation unless I am mistaken. So eve

Who wants a bootleg Android that sends all your call logs who knows where? xD

by aatd86 2mo ago
Funnily enough, I think it is in Google's best interest to comply and do the best work they can. Besides security that they might want to guarantee up to a limit, that would boost Android usage, also including their own hardware. The

Yes, so that is exactly what I don't understand, that makes compilation flow sensitive in a way that Go avoids by design in order to remain fast.

If it is so not novel, why did I never see it in Enterprise? Why is their own attempt a barebone mvp? Besides Dassault Systemes or Palantir with their Ontology product, who was doing anything adjacent? It's giving typical HN vibes &#x2

Ok but then why did they ask for this in a Request For Startups?

__For a concrete example, the fact you cannot define custom methods for external types in Go (a pre-1.0 design decision) means that you cannot write proper compile-time generic code to deal with some generic wrapping type (dumb example --
