An one thing which isn't free is AI. Try to maintain moderately complex app with AI and not spend $ on tokens or GPUs.

We really really need a high quality coding assistant that runs in 4GB of VRAM. It doesn't have to be the best, and it doesn't need to be able to handle more than say 2 languages at a time, like C and whatever. That would open up the field to a whole new demographic of potential coders, which is what the industry desperately needs right now.

...because right now no one is hiring _anybody_ who isn't a super duper senior 100x dev. The whole world of tech is facing a generational collapse. We need to pull a rabbit out of hat soon or we're all screwed.


You can't encode high quality coding practices and conversation skills in 4GB model. Information compression is too lossy.

No one is hiring because IT hit peak of usefulness. I delete more apps from my phone than install every month. I don't need more services. My rusty car is enough, no need for more touch interfaces.


Would that apply to OpenCode too?


This. I just want Freeform usable on iPadOS again.

Since 26 upgrade it is unusable with 100+ notes. It looks like they merged iOS variant with Macos one. Constant freezes, random unsaves, device gets boiling hot. No fix with factory reset. I love the HW but SW needs more love.


Then we ask "whys" to understand the non-technical process. Maybe there is no need to add/change anything.

> We cannot do everything if we need to launch a reliable product.

Agreed, otherwise it would be Turing complete Excel/Email clone.


Let it "build power plant" and we are on track with "Paperclip maximizer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence#Paper...


AI race to the bottom is a debt game now. Once the party is over somebody will have to pay the bill.


It’s going to be crazy with the explanation they come up with why the us public has to pay to bail out AI for national security.

In a way, it’s true if china has superior AI then it’s dominance over US will materialize. But it’s not hard to see how this scenario is being used to essential lie and scam into trillions of debt.

Its interesting how the cutthroat space of big tech has manifested into an incidious hyper capitalist system where disrupting a system is it’s primary function. The system in this case is world order and western governments


"Move fast and break things" broke containment to the tech industry. Now you can see it everywhere.


Watch out, it may break accessibility of your service. If somebody fills these fields I would add extra verification e.g. accessible CAPTCHA.


Good luck with any `npm audit` in a pipeline. Sometimes you have to pull the latest release because the previous one had a critical vulnerability.


Next milestone: put it in Warptruck™ as fuel


A certain car company CEO is about to announce the availability of that in "5-10 years"


I wish microplastics pollution was mentioned.
