I'm just a guy trying to get a rug that pulls the whole room together. :: We're all trapped on this crazy world together and sometimes you have to laugh at the people acting like crabs in a bucket.

Many here do stay in the know but in case you're not aware, Google plans to lock down what you can put on your #Android #CellPhone. You can read why this is an issue over at https://keepandroidopen.org

How I wish for a good Linux phone sooner than later.

Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

People keep talking about llms killing saas but we were quoted a ludicrous amount for a previously free platform during the week and I'm rustling up an alternative that's completely free aside from a few days of my own labour using the magical automation that is ✨bash scripting✨
The fun part is that I gave claude a few shots at building it, it's a low stakes project, I don't really care about the implementation and just need something that works, but it failed miserably because it's a relatively novel app using niche libraries that aren't well documented and will be almost non existent in training data, but it's a super simple system I could teach a beginner coder to build

@sue Yeah, my own experiences of testing a different LLM have been similar.

Couldn't find docs for how to do something with an obscure library, tried asking LLM for an example of how to do the thing.

It obligingly produced code but completely hallucinated the only part I needed info on. When I challenged it on this, it cheerfully admitted making it up.

A human developer who repeatedly behaved like this wouldn't stay in their job for long...
