If you actually try to implement the same app in multiple platforms from the same spec, you'll notice very quickly that AI makes the best quality UIs out of typescript electron or direct web. It accomplishes it's task the fastest,

Because it's evident you didn't engage with the last sentence I wrote properly. "Citation needed" in more words is not a sufficient response. > As for people asking where is the evidence for half of this, you will ne

Because distillation-only is a quick performance shortcut that only lets you get to the level of the thing your distilling for the most part or a little bit worse and does not allow you to actually progress past it. It's like only bei

The open models are good because of distillation, which the US labs are actively working against via not revealing CoT ever and now you can see with OpenAI Astra 6 not even having a lot of CoT equivalents being emitted as tokens. Once the

We don't know the architecture of this hypothetical spy splitter tho in the current case. It can be less covert and more of a complicated config, etc.

And if the hypothetical splitter is the thing that breaks? Then it would break main traffic too.

The solution is redirecting to an actual API or MCP with the same ability as your GUI, along with a real way to export your data. This is the future with how AI agents will work whether you like it or not. People are not going to want to

IMO blood sugar is too simple and focused on because of ease of measurement. Someone can have rollercoaster blood sugar and be far more metabolically healthier than someone with low and steady blood sugar. Continious insulin and cortisol

Meh distillation doesn't mean you can create an existing model from scratch of similar quality. It's the AI equivalent of making a VHS copy of a video, it doesn't enable you to make your own movies very well and post trainin

It's misregulation and boomerocracy eating their seed crop in societies where land is set up as an investment and most boomers put their life savings into real estate in the 80s/90s since the stock market was not properly accessib

This is solved by law, which is solved by 'we the people' and I bet many AI companies would be fine with something like the equivalent to patent law with bankruptcy escrow to the library of congress, where they must release the sc

In tech 'this time it's different' happens about every 10 years, so yes? Mainframes, minicomputers, the PC revolution, the internet in the 90s, commodity cloud computing: even more internet, the smartphone and now AI. It&#x

In my experience, I learned software engineering myself. I didn't get much mentorship or a lot of one-on-one attention. There was some interactions with my coworkers, but it was not as amazing as people think it was back then and I cam

Yes we do, continue keeping it a faux pas to reduce the over verbose LLM speak put elsewhere and ask people to just share the original prompt and save us all time. Label your LLM usage to respect other people's time.

If you've used UIKit to any large degree, how bad SwiftUI is, almost a decade later, continuously punches you in the face. About 20% more time to write initially, for 90% less bugs and potholes, and I've tested this with iOS dev
