another implication of AI manifesting in real world engineering react native existed for a single reason which was to reduce the development and maintenance cost of multi-platform mobile apps. they allow you to write a single codebase (kind of) that can work on both ios and android, with a tech stack that many web devs are already familiar with but with AI being particularly good at mechanically repeating something that already exists, replicating one platform's implementation to another has become trivial in general LLMs can write a ton of code at very low cost, especially when there's a sou… LLMs JavaScript Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
