  • But that is always happening. Software that now can be built by two programers needed IBM few decades ago, just because of hardware, languages, available libraries and shared knowledge.

    But we still have so many “app ideas” that there is more work to be done. I would be happy to have AI write all those apps that I need and have no time or money to make them.

    My conclusion is that it is only about money and economy. We are in unofficial recession so everyone is cutting costs, as soon as money comes back we will go back into bulking/exploration phase.




  • I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.

    People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying “it is not possible”, finding some random comments from project founder to hate.

    But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.

    I also don’t want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for “popular enought” memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.

    Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.


  • I also thing we just need to find use cases where it is working.

    While it will not solve everything, it did solve some things. Like you have found, I have used it for generating simple artwork for internal documents, that would never get design funding (even if it would I would have spent much more time dealing with designer), rewriting sentences so it sounds better, grammar check, quick search engine, enciclopedia, copywriting some non important texts…

    I would pay few bucks per month if it wasn’t free. I gave it to grammarly and barely use it.

    So I guess next step is just reducing cost of running those models, which is not that hard as we can see by open source space.



  • It actually exists and is being developed for the last three yeras. But you have to compile it by youself. Just a way to prevent people from having expectations, but a lot of modern sites are working in it. Some errors, a bit slow, but they have rendering engine, css parser, js implementation and are working closely with w3c - they have found some bugs in the standard since they are implementing it directly.

    Great and useful project, I don’t know if it will become real competition to firefox and chrome, but I guess it will get traction. A lot of people want new browser, some of them have money.





  • Maybe we should stop calling them adblockers.

    I am not blocking ads I am blocking spyware and malicious scripts. I wouldn’t have anything against well behaving ads without js.

    Also making it illegal is nit necessary, just don’t show me your content and exclude it from search results and we are good.
