Transmit one of our recursively improving AI to them, maybe?

5000 years is a lot of latency.

That's a good way to replace one problem (potential alien invasion) with another (potential borg takeover)

No, that's the beautiful part. When AI winter rolls around, the borgs simply run out of compute.

and omg people that type without capitializing anything wtf i hate them

But, why?

I wish someone would tackle this question; reviving the SR71 seems like a thing for enthusiasts without any imaginable practical purposes

Is drink driving where you are drinking something while driving? That seems fine. Drinking alcohol while driving is maybe bad though.

"'Am I drunk' what exactly, officer?" has probably been the basis of some good skits.

As once before said: If they didn't want you to drink, John Deere wouldn't have put a cupholder on it. C'mon, that's entrapment!

You are right that they cannot be replaced TODAY. The bet people seem to be making is that the future will be very different and arrive a lot sooner then our intuition might suggest.

And don't forget Legend!

I feel like there's not enough content on the landing page to help me understand why I need yet another notetaking app. The burden of proof is high given how many of these there are.

Good feedback, I'd like to add more sections to the homepage to describe the components / motivations more clearly. The scope has increased to more agent collaboration features this past month too. Here's the reasons I shared elsewhere here:

- I wanted something closer to Apple Notes or Notion for simpler editing. Hyperlinks are popups instead of in-line strings. Formatting is WYSIWYG, without *_ characters in-line. There's a / menu to discover formatting options. etc.

- I wanted an app that could display HTML pages alongside Markdown. And more interestingly, I wanted to give those HTML pages access to Markdown files in the folder, using Markdown as a mini-database to build apps on top of. This is likely possible with Obsidian plugins (everything is) but I wanted something first-class. The hubble.md homepage tries to communicate this, but I could likely do a better job :)

- More recently, I've wanted markdown -> agent handoff to be better. We've added an embedded terminal to chat with agents alongside notes directly, and we've just added a first-party commenting system similar to commenting in a Google doc (agent accessible with in-file metadata). All of these features have been community-led. I'm very grateful for our repeat contributors.

At least it is self describing, unlike some other projects that are like "An alternative to faomz with deliric integration"

Also why is it a nodejs app? With the explosion of LLM and the insane increase in productivity shouldn't it be a Rust app?

Why even limit the app to Rust? Cross compilation is for humans. Just have the LLM make multiple versions of the codebase using whatever language and SDK is best integrated into each OS.

Why limit to language and SDK? Have the LLM write machine code.

Absolutely. LLMs are Magic! Go ahead

Correct

Absolutely! LLM is basically magic at this point (or so we hear)

Between being criticised for too much LLLM and not enough, the developers can't win can they?

Well they can win! Since everyone is so pro LLM don't write apps in Nodejs LOL

Pre LLM nodejs was convenient option to deploy to all platforms at once.

Post LLM that's no longer a limitation! Just prompt more to create apps in native language! Anyways RAM is getting costlier by the day due to LLMs themselves

That is unless devs don't use LLMs at all. Then they should simply state in the GitHub repo that we don't use AI!

I wouldn't use AI for hobby projects tbh. It's my personal preference

> Just prompt more to create apps in native language!

If you have ever done that you know that that's as true as "write once, run everywhere". There will always be tweaks and iterations, even if it saves you a lot of time.

I was being sarcastic but okay.

Because every other day we hear how excellent LLM is that we don't need to write code anymore

Sorry, misunderstood that.

There is still a place for 'but rust’, in between too much and too little LLM usage.

With the explosion in token usage, why not write it in z80 assembly and run it in a z80 emulator written in webasm?

Why not?

It can be the language they prefer. Why would someone spend money to create software in some language for the sake of having an LLM generate it

The counter argument is that since LLM resembles magic why use inefficient nodejs that is basically an app running inside chrone Why not use native binaries?

Is efficiency not important in 2026?

repeating the statement doesn’t make a counter point

It does when your comment didn't address a single point of the original comment!

What would make Rust better for this type of app compared to Node?

Pray tell me why a desktop app is running on a browser in the age of LLMs?

Electron was written to make dev times faster

But since LLMs are basically super engineers can't the app be written in native language rather than running on v8?

Maybe not rust. But then zed people did develop a cross platform library for apps didn't they?!

Tauri is a good balance. Rust "backend" plus a native web view, so less JS and a lighter binary.

I heard once that if the Roman civilization had continued, the state of current technology would be something like 500 years more advanced. I don't know if I ever believed it, but sometimes I do.

can we not do this

Must be a british thing?

Non, du verstehst es falsch, mon amigo. According to EU standards (of which the Brits are no longer a part of) sugar bags (empty) should weigh exactly a pound each to withstand all and any shipping conditions.

well that's just £3300 then, yeah?

Half that, 3300 pounds of sugar is roughly 1800 quid (retail) and wholesale is probably half of that.

Well that's what ... 300 or so pints?

Wait beer in the UK is 11 quid per pint??? I know UK pints are bigger, but that seems really pricey

I estimated about 6 quid. We left £3300 behind because 3300 1-lb bags of sugar only costs £1800.

;) I like these easy breezy Late Friday threads!
