It is premature to conclude that someone is wrong and will ultimately be replaced, as the final verdict on LLMs is not yet in. In fact, recent trends show rather negative outcomes. Multiple analyses continuously indicate that recent layoffs are driven by the normalization of the post-pandemic bubble and economic recession due to wars, not LLMs. Companies are merely using LLMs as a convenient excuse to frame hiring freezes as innovation. Furthermore, many companies are reconsidering LLM adoption due to cost and efficiency issues.
You claim to be rational and logical, but your argument completely lacks substance and is just full of highly subjective claims. Your 'prediction' is closer to astrology than actual forecasting. Sure, prophecies hit the mark by chance every now and then, but that doesn’t prove the person has any predictive ability. That is precisely what your argument looks like: completely confident without a single piece of evidence. To top it off, you totally abandoned reason and logic in your last sentence. Saying that anyone who disagrees with you is just deluding themselves and that you already know what people will say to snap back is exactly the kind of stuff a cult leader would say.
You're completely giving up based on some strange delusion. I don't even blame you for that. But it's genuinely ridiculous how you use it as an excuse to attack others and act all smug while pushing your defeatist arguments.
I haven't really experienced disconnections while using ChatGPT. Gemini is the frustrating part. Simply backgrounding the app (and the web version too) and resuming it causes the response or the conversation with an assigned ID to disappear. Haha.
Most of my side projects have functional core features that I use regularly but they aren't quite shippable.
Building a GUI for others unfamiliar with the internal logic is incredibly difficult and tedious.
It could definitely happen after a few years and yes I have already had cases where I had to trace the code again to understand them. It is still a major hassle though!
I occasionally build simple CLIs that are immediately intuitive but GUIs are just too much work.
If it runs on Avalonia anyway why choose MAUI? If you have the option just use Avalonia.
MAUI is unfinished and its docs is awful.
Do you want to build an app using MAUI? Unless you build an app that barely deviates from the template, expect to desperately search through decade old Xamarin documentation and figure out the details through painful trial and error.
It is a way to get people choosing the "official" path (ie. choosing MAUI) to experience Avalonia. They are hoping you come for the MAUI and stay for the Avalonia and become an Avalonia developer.
As for, why choose the Avalonia version of MAUI, there are three reasons:
- Linux support (the big one I think)
- Drawn framework (same renderer on all platforms)
- WASM support (probably useful sometimes but not the real draw)
They are making a big deal of WASM here because it is easy to demo. We can all go into it and run it. But do we want to use it for our apps?
As for, why not Avalonia directly? To loop back to the beginning, it is because you do not yet know Avalonia and trust it. The Avalonia team is hoping this helps with that.
Thank you for explaining this. I didn't even realize this was an Avalonia project until you pointed it out. I like Avalonia (and love .NET in general), but I think the messaging on this needs a lot of work. Avalonia is creating unnecessary cognitive dissonance by emphasizing MAUI, which is a competing project after all.
This is what mystifies me about this announcement. Avalonia already works fine on Linux, allowing anyone to build a cross-platform .NET GUI application.
MAUI is supposed to be a wrapper around native widgets. The fact that they had to use Avalonia under the covers to get it to work on Linux seems to defeat the point. (Avalonia is a complete UI toolkit, like Qt or Flutter, that owns the entire stack from XAML to pixels.)
The large number of Chinese products currently permitted in the U.S. demonstrates that the bans were imposed not because of their nationality, but because confirmed security risks were identified.
The company's issue is not its country of origin, but its history of installing backdoors and its public declaration to abandon fixing security flaws for numerous devices still in use.
The issue started to be pointed out by numerous independent tech news outlets and communities far more than a year ago. Do you have a basis to argue otherwise?
If TP-Link is known to have intentionally installed backdoors in its products, that is news to me. Can you provide a source for that claim?
Vulnerabilities have been found, of course, but that is hardly unique to TP-Link, and the existence of a vulnerability does not imply that it was put there intentionally.
> its public declaration to abandon fixing security flaws for numerous devices still in use
I have several machines that are still running Windows 10 and are (according to the Windows software) not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, let alone for free. The Microsoft software informs me that I will no longer receive security updates on these machines.
When will the US government ban Microsoft products from sale in the US?

Still, I have much more context on the DJI ban. The law that will place DJI on the FCC's "covered list" states that if DJI is not audited by a (unspecified) US government agency, DJI products will be placed on the covered list and so be ineligible for FCC certification starting (IIRC) Jan 1 2026. In other words, the law was cleverly written such that nobody actually needs to do an audit to determine what nasty things DJI is actually getting up to; if nobody raises their hand, the ban will happen automatically.

Do not take me for an enthusiastic supporter of DJI, TP-Link, other Chinese companies, or the way America's political and business leaders have generally pissed away our technological advantage over China in the name of enriching themselves in the present (now past). I am, in fact, livid. But we will not dig ourselves out of this hole by becoming a backwater where Americans' relationship with consumer technology is as if they are living in a sanctioned country.
Yeah but it’s not like every Chinese tech product is being systematically scrutinized by the US government. It’s more like one gains attention and then everyone piles on.
Why do companies actively lie in their advertising about being eco-friendly, instead of just keeping a low profile?
Is it because we tend to focus only on current events and quickly forget their past track record? Indeed, if people soon forget the lies, the risk is minimal.
One reason is that large institutional investors or lenders enforce certain agendas by only giving money to companies that meet certain criteria. Thus companies will posture themselves as meeting those qualities to attract money and investment.
It’s an explanation of why so many companies suddenly appeared to go “woke”, or why they did a complete 180 when the political climate changed. Even powerful companies like Apple must grovel for favor.
