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 pur…

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…

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.

Let's expand the actual quote we're responding to: > the borrow checker woes can be offloaded to the model, you focus on all the other programming logic Then the person you respond…

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 appli…

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 t…

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 t…

Kotlin has a LLVM backend, among others.

I didn't get as far as experiencing their billing system; I decided to finally look into Claude recently and discovered that their pricing page's content area was completely blank.…

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.

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 colla…
