alt Hacker NewsI mean if you define anything using web-based technology as crap then sure, but someone could just as easily define Linux GTK apps as being old and janky and then where will we be? LLMs can write Zenity bash scripts just fine, it's up to the person driving it to ask for that instead. How's well does that Zenity bash script work on Android/iOS/windows/ChromeOS/Mac/esp32? We can shit all over people for using technologies we personally wouldn't choose, but it's not like they're aren't reasons for it. It's not 1990 anymore and my computer has gigabytes, not megabytes of ram.

You don't think we're on the same page here?

And these gigabytes get used up really quickly when the LLM goes brrrr. And with this 500% surge in RAM prices, I don't think it's still enough to just buy more.
