Electron hate is one of the most confidently wrong opinions in tech. People say it like they've cracked something open. "Discord is just a website." "VS Code is Chrome with a titlebar." Yeah, and your kitchen knife is just shaped metal. The framing tells you nothing about whether the thing is actually good. Writing a real cross-platform native app is brutally hard, and not because the logic is complicated. Every platform has different UI conventions, different system APIs, different accessibility models, different font rendering, different input handling. Write a macOS app in Swift and it looks great on macOS and doesn't exist anywhere else. Want Windows? WinUI, WPF, take your pick, each with its own learning curve and its own special set of things that don't quite work right. Linux? Qt or GTK, both of which produce apps that feel slightly wrong on every platform they target, and you're maintaining all of this in parallel, same features across three codebases, three bug trackers, three build pipelines, three sets of platform-specific nonsense to debug Or use Electron with just oneOne codebase. "Electron uses too much RAM." VS Code idles around 150-300MB on a typical project. Sounds bad until you check what else is open. Chrome with four tabs is using 800MB. Your JetBrains IDE, fully native, compiled to the JVM, is sitting at 1.2GB before you've opened a single file. The native Slack alternative someone built in Qt uses 90MB, sure, but it also hasn't shipped a new feature in two years and the emoji picker breaks on HiDPI and nobody is fixing it. Memory is cheap. The RAM argument is almost always made by people who don't look at what their "good" native apps are actually consuming. Chromium is good. It is one of the most tested, most optimized pieces of software running on consumer hardware right now. The rendering is fast. V8 is fast. The security model has sandboxed processes and site isolation baked in, which is more than most native apps bother with. Embedding it in a desktop framework is not a betrayal of some pure native ideal. It's using a genuinely good piece of engineering for a job it's good at. The app is not slop because it runs on Chromium. The app is slop if the team who built it didn't care. Those are different things. Maybe stop confusing them.
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
Cold take on what comes next: - OpenAI will flourish - Anthropic will continue to be profitable - Google will not catch up to Anthropic or OpenAI - no chinese company will catch up to Anthropic or OpenAI - the highest tier of intelligence will become a luxury product that only companies and multi-millionaires/billionaires can afford - most of the companies that invested massively in them will have massive returns - SpaceX’s AI will be fine and on par with Google by end of year - Nvidia will become the first 10T company
Hot take on what comes next, after the sudden decline of tokenmaxxing: - OpenAI will struggle - with the decline of tokenmaxxing Anthropic will struggle (aside from this quarter) to make a profit - Google will catch up to Anthropic - some Chinese companies might, too - LLMs
@levelsio @parasight And for dark style, there is "dark" and "fiord" styles, just put them in the URL, it'll work.
✨ I just replaced Mapbox on all my sites with OpenFreeMap by @hyperknot and my map bill is now $0 Mapbox's pricing is getting increasingly extortionary (which is fine, it's capitalism) but at some point you have to think, $857/month for what? A map? Really? A map is that expensive? How can loading a map be that expensive? It's just some PNG tiles you host somewhere? Why? @OpenFreeMapOrg is 100% free and all you do is point your AI to openfreemap(dot)org and tell it to replace Mapbox with that 5 minutes and you save thousands $$$ per year! Apparently @Cloudflare sponsors its bandwidth which is very cool and keeps it online!
@levelsio Welcome on board! Making web maps free and fun again!
@mitsuhiko remove skills block from system prompt
@theo Its not the model, it's CC which they keep slopnerfing then fixing. The same model is served on Azure, Bedrock, Google, how could they nerf them at the same time?
@mitsuhiko Models should remember thinking mode. I like Sonnet + medium and GPT + high. Painful to cycle through it every time I switch models.
@ryanflorence I went through all, @kobaltedev has the highest quality code. You need to ask Claude to translate the CSS to Tailwind though. Corvu is also good. The others are just wrappers/porting efforts and are mostly overcomplicated or abandoned. Ark is architecture astronaut stuff.
@zeeg I was thinking of making a complexity bench. Instead of a zero-shotting eval, ask for a complex program in 10-20 steps, each time adding a new requirement. I bet Codex would end up with the most over-engineered code. Claude is better, but also very far from a good human.
@tenobrus They are already not serving their best models publicly. The ones on the API are not the ones winning math and programming Olympiad problems. Those are internal-accessible only. Also, GPT 5.4 is a Sonnet sized model, their "Opus" version is not public either.
@arvidkahl @OpenRouter :flex endpoint when?
@Rasmic @romainhuet They usually say the one you give is better. Ask them in a new conversation which one is better from the two.
@OfficialLoganK 3.1 is unusable for creative writing. We have an email drafting pipeline carefully tuned over months, which worked perfectly on 3.0. 3.1 is unusable, it's a codemaxxed model like some of the GPT 5 series. Where 3.0 writes 4 beautiful paragraphs, 3.1 writes 4 bullet points.
I am excited to announce that BigBoy Charging is now officially powered by OpenFreeMap! This latest addition, combined with the incredible mapcn, completes my goal of being able to provide this service for free to all EV drivers 🔋⚡ Huge thanks to @hyperknot and @sainianmol16 for making this dream of mine a reality 🫶
Reminder before Sonnet 5 drops: SWE-bench tests a model’s ability to fix small Python bugs in 12 repos in one-shot with appropriate context fed to it. It’s not a measure of agentic coding ability. I wrote in detail about a bunch of benchmarks and what they mean, link below.
