Like the other comments, I'm very confused at what this is meant to do other than promote a wanna-be Git competitor and yet another hyper-specific "conference". The post doesn't really make any arguments, even in the sec

Dense models run at a very usable speed (Qwen 3.6 was running at ~50t/s last I looked) on my dual 7900 XTX desktop. (And before anyone brings it up, I did not buy them for this purpose, so the up-front cost is irrelevant in my case.)

Compose UI apps can be compiled to native binaries already, via Kotlin's LLVM backend, though at the moment only the macOS/iOS targets have proper (official) support. Last I looked (a few years ago now), the Linux and Windows targ

Both can be true, no? The administration has a vendetta (justified or not), and Anthropic's behavior gave them a reason to act on it.

They're not talking about the model, and they're not talking about token budgets.

I wouldn't say Compose UI/Flutter/SwiftUI are "implementing React", but if your point is that other platforms have better solutions than JSX (plus all the bloat React adds to applications), I absolutely agree.

I'm always taken aback a little when I read through HN and see how little mind share Kotlin and its ecosystem has here. JetBrains has done a pretty good job of creating something that can fill many different niches (especially consider

According to that article, the data they analyzed was API prices from LLM providers, not their actual cost to perform the inference. From that perspective, it's entirely possible to make "the cost of inference" appear to decl

They're citing another section of the article rather than the cherry picked quotes they were responding to.

None of those will get you a "native" app, but they might get you most of the way to a cross-platform app.

On Android it more or less just uses the accessibility APIs to grab the actual text, you can do it without using Google Assistant even by selecting text inside an app's thumbnail window from the Recent Apps screen.

I'm actually surprised to learn that Notion mandates on-site. It gives the impression that the leadership doesn't believe in their own product (which revolves entirely around collaborating on work online).

by EddieRingle 2y ago
They're building a product that revolves around React and Typescript and include an email specifically for receiving investors, so it's reasonable that they'd talk up both technologies.

I think that's an absolutely reasonable reaction. I can only say that, as someone that primarily works on Android, I'll of course prefer Compose UI since it's technically the "native" solution for me already. And wh
