Humans can do lots of things, I don't see how that's relevant. This post is about AI progress.

Many libraries now support AccessKit.

GPUI is developed alongside Zed and thus features that aren't useful for Zed are sometimes left behind.

I think there was a community fork recently that tried to tend to these concerns.

It's not a bad thing per se, but its worth mentioning.

Qt already has really good binding, see Pyside6 for instance. GTK similarly through introspection.

Not sure why you want to build desktop GUIs using web tech though.

Building a GUI framework in Rust comes with certain challenges.

Ralph Levien, author of druid and xilem made some good posts about it. I'll link one here.

Rust doesn't play well with traditional frameworks but works fairly well with Elm and immediate mode.

I think is an important point, and I don't see it mentioned in the article or the paper (though I skimmed the latter).

They are aware of what they are and how they are used. They're told to act as AI assistants. And there's theories of them being aware of their answers influencing their training.

So surely they must be able to reason that they're not literally controlling weapons of mass-destruction with their answers.

Why do people think this is the future? Anthropic has the leading model, and so they're able to hold back functionality. They do so with obvious regards to safety.

If anything a future with models of such capabilities and no safeguards would be a bleak future. But its likely what were headed in once other companies catch up.

> I was only saying that I don't think the Radxa products' pricing are demonstrating anything too shocking about the Rpi products' pricing.

I agree it's not too shocking, I think prices have increased everywhere including competitors.

Those are great if you can surface them!

I've also been enjoying the N100 mini-ITX boards from ASROCK[1] and ASUS. Great choice if you already have a power supply and some RAM stockpiled. The ASUS one uses SODIMM. They use very little power.

Even using algolia, I don't see a way to generate a list in this exact format.

I think ChrisMarshallNY is right, dang has access to eldritch powers.

> The SDCS is only possible if keys are allowed to become infinite, or the data store is allowed to become infinite (...) This would, of course, make the idea useless.

But Pi is infinite. And thus this genius contraption will work as long as we have Moore's law on our side :)

Even then I don't see a direct way to extract a list like this.

Can someone explain these two statements to me?

How are you generating these lists

But ram prices don't scale linearly. The 4Gb variant of RPi5 is $130.

Radxa does have a 16Gb board[1] on pre-order, coming in at $329. Though the Dragon Q8B appears to be quite a bit more capable.

Yet the Radxa Rock 4d[1] has 4Gb and is selling for 69 dollars.

I really don't know who this is targeted at. As a development board these are extremely expensive and as a mini computer you're far better off with something N100 based or similar.

What market is this trying to compete in?

Search arace.tech for Radxa or Milk-V boards.
