Lmfao I’ve committed the sin of anthropomorphism. Fadda forgive me! C’mon pal.

I didn’t attribute diligence to anything. I’m not worried about the personal character of diligence. I’m interested in what the technology unlocked and how things made with it are materially different in terms of labor configurations.

Who said anything about designers?

by selridge 8mo ago
I’ll give you a real concrete example. I had to build an app on the Mac, which needed to be signed. I did not want to learn Apple signing procedures in order to do this. It turns out I did not have to, because I got the robot to learn it. S

Why would it mean that?

I’m just saying that the consensus seems to be that they should’ve rebuilt what was inside electron so why not just insist that AI doesn’t work until they’ve recreated chrome? What really is the argument and the threshold we’re proposing he

If artificial intelligence exceeded the ability of hacker news users to bitch about software, that would truly be AGI.

the central argument to the piece is still fundamentally silly. What truly do we know about the organization that produced the Claude desktop app, by virtue of the fact that they built it in electron? Really truly what do we know about them
129.
by selridge 8mo ago
Yes. I read it the same way. What I’m saying is that’s a silly notion we should laugh at instead of a sensible notion we should nod at. Really and truly, what do we KNOW about Anthropic because the Claude desktop app is an electron app? I s

At least attempt a real sentence.

If it’s so simple, where is yours?

APP BAD! If coding SOLVED HOW COME APP BAD.

I really have no idea. There's almost no good mapping from conversation to code. Take e.g. https://github.com/Protonk/PAWL There's...thousands of conversations in dozens of different configurations over month

"maybe you don't have the necessary perspective to understand what you're asking for" this is in no way a personal attack. It's just a statement that's true. I didn't imply anything about them or their cha

I missed the subtlety? I linked the paper! I read the paper. Yeah. they wrote the tests, which is how this worked! how the heck do you think it was supposed to work? the fact that they needed to write the tests was just the means to impleme

Please just read what I wrote. Please. You and I are talking about different things. You showed me a source for your claim and then acted like I was somehow misreading your source when I just wasn't talking about it. We're basical

I love that the posture is I have a problem I need you to fix haha. I don't need you to fix my problems. I'm reporting that the LLM-based solution beats the dogshit out of the old "become a journeyman on one of 11 billion bul

They all have millions of active users doing complex tasks in them every day! I's laughable that you expect me to take your vague complaints about Discord seriously not just as complaints but as dispositive signs that electron was a ba

by selridge 8mo ago
The "more" here I'm to expect is they choose a native application over electron? What's in that for me?
140.
by selridge 8mo ago
Discord, 1Password, Slack, GitHub Desktop, VS Code. these are all also the results of bad design choices or a lack of resources?

>But I guess it's about why so we associate those with spiky shapes I think the why just got a lot tricker than we imagined. Because we failed to replicate this experiment on other primates, we couldn't avoid a semantic suspici

by selridge 8mo ago
The published one repeated the experiment w/ day old chicks and IIRC the same number w/ the same results, so it's got a little more N than the preprint.

by selridge 8mo ago
And? So what? What really am I to conclude by the mere fact that they used electron? The AI was not so magical that it overcame sense? Am I to imagine that the fact that they advertise AI coding means I therefore have a window into their de
144.
by selridge 8mo ago
Yes, and? And therefore, what? That’s what’s missing and I think we should just be clear on: it is a design choice to choose electron over writing a native app.
145.
by selridge 8mo ago
You are unfamiliar with design choices?
146.
by selridge 8mo ago
Yeah but what does the statement refute? We can all talk about how this or that app should be different, but the idea is "electron sux => ????? " Why should I care that they didn't rebuild the desktop app I don't us
147.
by selridge 8mo ago
The claim that somehow "code is free now" is struck low by anthropic choosing electron is silly and deserves ridicule. I guess I don't understand how people don't see something like 20k + an engineer-month producing CCC

by selridge 8mo ago
Presumably these competent people could look at electron, think about building their own cross-platform application on top of chromium and conclude that this free as in code and beer tool fit their needs. Should they have re-written Chromiu
149.
by selridge 8mo ago
Why stop there! We should refuse to accept coding agents until they have fully replaced chromium. By that point, the world will see that our reticence was wisdom.

This is true. I was being brash. Let me say instead that the split in reasoning and evaluation as it exists on macOS in this area is rough and potentially not needed. Granted, I don't have a better answer in my back pocket, and the fac
