ChatGPT on macOS isn't built with Electron, at least the last time I checked. Just checking the linked frameworks shows that it links against macOS AppKit and the Swift libraries.

From a user perspective can definitely tell too, it's a polished, fast desktop app and has all the UI details one would expect from a native app.

One can imagine that resolving this will require a separate model to construct a timeline/keyframe series from a text description then interpolate between them.

Fascinating times, either way this is allegedly being open–sourced, so I'm hopeful others will be able to build on top.

I wouldn't have thought we'd have these text-to-video models before the end of this year, so we might actually not be that far from minutes-long video generation

Such a wonderful read. Think of childhood or teenage years when you spent hours building things for the sheer joy of it, profit motive be damned. More of us could do with sabbaticals to explore projects like this as an adult. Build out in the open, perhaps it will work, maybe it won’t. But you’ll learn a vast amount, have fun along the way, and probably learn what you should be doing instead.

Bookmarked, because I know I’m going to have to re-read this.

Crash reporting, formerly Hockey App but when acquired by Microsoft it became part of App Center.

Pontevedra is mentioned in the fifth paragraph, but unfortunately not much detail is given.

An excellent book. David Deutsch is a talented writer and this is one of those books that shifts the way you look at the world.

IMAP can be awkward with sync, pagination and has never played great with labels vs folders. JMAP looks promising.

Appears that (wording is somewhat vague) apps which only store user data on the device do not need to go through this external security assessment.

Agree that this is Google pushing their security costs onto developers and effectively killing bootstrapped SAAS apps.

Think the fairest model is one where you pay once for the app, updates are free for a set period of time, then you have to pay again to upgrade if you wish to. If not, the old version is yours indefinitely.

Well aware that the App Stores do not offer this option, but it is possible if you implement your own billing system on macOS or Windows.

Second this. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, billions of people are going to come online over the next five to ten years. If (according to the World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/05/2-billion-people-worl...) there are really 2 billion people unbanked, we stand to see cryptocurrencies and cell phones lead to an explosion of people connected to the financial system.
