<p>On the positive side, LLMs are trained based on real data so the default is for it to tell you what data showed. Companies will certainly enforce their influence but it's extra effort against the enormous amount of data, just like with trying to censor sensitive topics. Any context used for ads means less context for the user to use which in turn negatively affects their usefulness.</p>

<p>I understand that most people want to move to other more modern tools, it's up to you. However, what baffled me is why the author's choice not to move is a problem? Did we pay them to move and they did not move as promised? Was there some crowd funding to move that was not fulfilled?</p>

<p>LLMs have randomness baked into every single token it generates. You can try running LLMs locally and set the temperature to low and it immediately feels boring to always have the same reply every time. It's the randomness that makes them feel "smart". Put it another way, randomness is required for the illusion of intelligence.</p>

<p>If you already have Home Assistant running, I think it should be simple. Most of the time you can buy devices with pins already soldered and it's just the matter of connecting them together. AIs are pretty good with ESPHome configs. You can even take a picture so that they can help you identify the correct pins. Some coding may be required for drawing things on the display though.</p>

<p>Totally. Frameworks also make it a lot easier for new team members to contribute. React, for example, makes it a lot easier to hire. Any project with moderate size will require some kind of convention to keep things consistent and choosing a framework makes this easier.<p>Now look at the cross team collaboration and it gets even harder without frameworks. When every team has their own conventions, how would they communicate and work together? Imagine a website with React, Vue, Angular all over the place, all fighting for the same DOM.</p>

<p>You're thinking of open source projects that only need a few hours of work per week. Anything more than a few hours a week either requires someone to give up their full time job to work on it (switch to part time jobs/consultation is an option), or having multiple contributors which still require significant effort to coordinate at the end of the day.<p>Let's say Tailwind CSS gives up and stops the project, do you think there'll be someone else picking it up, knowing how Tailwind failed in the first place? LLMs don't create new things, they remix what are already available. It's delusional to think that you should use LLMs to create a whole UI library just for your application and spend enormous effort not only maintaining it but also train new team members to use it down the road.<p>Open source is charity, it's unreasonable, even entitled, to demand someone work on it full time without pay.</p>

<p>Same here. I developed desktop applications for 15+ years and was really frustrated with Microsoft's direction for the UI around the time of Windows Phone. While Windows Forms may not be the best, it worked for decades until then. Now even if someone wants to build a desktop application using native UI, it's next to no resource at all because it's all about cross platform nowadays.</p>

<p>Sounds like me:

3. With enough time, I use just icons.
4. Why the ** do they keep moving it/changing the icons?</p>
