The only chance any small team is going to have of making an alternative web browser is to leverage LLMs.

Not saying these guys will succeed, but if not, LLM use is not the reason why.

Certainly not. Do you think illegal immigrants steal no cars?

Maybe the threat of heavy handed law enforcement had an effect. Maybe not. There's also been a problem with precincts reclassifying crimes to make them seem better. We won't call it armed robbery, we'll call it a simple assault, stuff like that.

Modern JavaScript and CSS are insanely complex ... and are not just for silly decoration, but for needed functionality and things like WCAG compliance.You sure have your work cut out for you.

I very much want real alternatives though, and I do genuinely wish you success!

"Teams is shit!" ... eh, Teams is actually pretty good for what it's for. I use it every day for text chats, voice calls, video meetings, screen sharing; works fine.

The search is buggy / weird ... could definitely improve there.

Apparently Element Pro is just another closed source program. So not sure why it's supposed to be so much better. The same people who hate the US tend to also hate the UK.

Well apparently not; it's also found in at least one virus?

LLMs don't capitalize "Daughter" either. Or write as he did at all.

I mean, it sounds like a coincidence and he sounds like a kook. But not like an LLM.

And news for nerds. So of course /. is ... (looks around) ... excited?

Trump is the nastiest of vengeful dirty old men. I don't think there's conclusive evidence of pedophilia however, and harping on that takes away from all the shitty and horrible things he has undisputably done.

OMG I think he's serious ...

Yes, you'll get promised some RAM in every pot ("a chicken in every pot").

What you'll get though is some studies on the racial equity of RAM or something like that.

Oh, sure. That's why native Europeans are so fecund, after all!

You realize all your "solutions" have been tried, right?

We should be at about negative one million family farms in the US by now. Because trend lines never change ...

10% brighter every year. How long until we go supernova?

We went through the immigration process under K-1, then adjusted status to a permanent resident. No lawyer. Many people have done this and there is information out there how to do it, but it can be outdated, especially in the current era. There wasn't a great "here's the overall workflow" back when we did it, and their probably isn't now either.

The forms have instructions, and if you read carefully (together with all reference documents) it isn't too difficult. But I'm a contract guy, most people likely will have difficulty. It would be nice for them to have an official place to ask questions and have all the relevant forms and instructions considered together.

For a more "routine" example, the forms to apply for or renew a passport for a minor are a huge pain. Not all the required documents needed to be brought to an appointment (minor passports must be applied for in person) are listed in one list as of late last year. You have to go deeper into the state department website than you probably should have to. They should just fix all forms which are confusing or have incomplete instructions, but having generative AI assist the user is probably a lot faster to implement.

"Main" role? Nice qualifier. How about just any role in his success? Most people don't have someone playing a role, even if not the "main" role, in helping them along.
