If we mean native as in OS-specific GUI APIs built-in to the operating system, then yes. All of the browsers are abstractions on top of that. If we mean cross-platform GUI libraries for Rust I think your choices are like Dioxus (a webview), Tauri (also a webview), Slint (draws its own widgets), and maybe Fltk (draws its own widgets) with extensions?
I think this is mostly just software benchmarking. The most science that can probably be extracted from this case study is probably a couple data points on where we are and where we can improve with AI agents. It seems like a decent task to optimize for. It might also work as a proof of concept for an economics study or theoretical political science.
It's possible that any such technology would be too complicated to ensure a clean supply chain or have weaknesses that would allow it to be tracked or jammed. Real devices have some kind of engineering tradeoff.
But I generally think that trying to solve social problems with technology is a futile endeavor. Someone will always have violence on their side. And violence is the ultimate weakness.
Is this actually how water pumping works, or are we extending the metaphor to imply that the AI is creating knowledge? Because I would dispute the latter if the effect is that the number of people with a deep understanding of a subject declines.
There's the grandmother hypothesis that holds we could just not have menopause and reproduce more, but we don't because there's greater evolutionary advantage for having the elderly provide support to their kin. Maybe this type of kin selection is bounded by consanguinity though, and that limits the advantage? Or maybe population pressure discourages family units from getting too large?
That’s the kind of evolutionary explanation that doesn’t fit natural selection at all in any time period
You would need to explain how populations who did those things were selected against
Instead of the more aligned reality that there was a random attractive or forceful menopausal mutant that popped out alot of babies or put alot of babies in others
speaking of attractive, what we see now is that older women are selected against and everything considered attractive is correlated to ability of carrying a pregnancy to term. which came first? impossible for me to say, would older women have many more pregnancies if the menopause never happened? the viable eggs would have still gone towards zero, unlike other mammals and beings
In my experience, that was pretty much true until I started doing small discussion-group-style graduate classes. But those are necessarily capped by staff-to-student ratios.
Pixel 6 dropped out of guaranteed software support yesterday:
Pixel 7a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro & Pixel Fold
These phones, including Pixel Fold, will get updates for 5 years starting from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.
I can recommend the Fairphone 6+, recently launched, they increased the RAM compared to the 6 (as opposed to many other companys decreasing it), the price is a little higher, but you get a phone that is sustainably produced, can be largely fixed by yourself, and has software update commitments until 2033.
Probably to similar purposes as the 2024 opioid settlement: housing assistance, schools, subsidized child care. Legislators will probably try to align it with goals that seem like they would counter the stuff Meta's doing. Smaller communities will probably fail to allocate it promptly.
