This comment actually made me read it slower as it progressed, because I felt a feeling of awe welling up of how insightful it is.

Anecdotally: Happy people seem to like to talk about anything and everything. Unhappy people don't like to talk or only talk about one thing. I just got inspired on an llm prompt, and got these three koans, that to me are the most amaz

Sounds like were getting at something in the conversation. For the professional developer generative ai is another tool, making us maybe a bit more capable than before. For the amateur it is a breakthrough enabling amateurs to tackle things

You've seen plenty of people who hacked the ps3 and iphone as teenagers and created a low level system analysis tool for doing such system hacks? You've seen plenty of people writing self driving car software a decade ago? Why did

The Internet is awash with people making the same claims you are, but where are the actual results that we can see and use? Where are all these supposed new programs that were only possible to make because of generative ai? The number of ne

"250 or more" employees is at top. "1-4" and "100-249" are next, while all the medium sized companies are lagging at the bottom. This is signal I think. The heavy adopters are either large enterprise or solo&#x

You can keep your US tech companies. In EU we actually need our own. It's long overdue.

You're getting downvoted because nobody likes pedantry. Especially for the Turso project if you look under "Insights -> Contributors" on their Github page, then it's clear that that project is under heavy active devel

Today I asked Claude how to ignore Typescript type checking in some vendored js files in my project. It churned on this and ended up turning off type checking on all js files in my project and proudly declaring it a great success because th

Ultimately it gets decided the same way all matters of law are ultimately decided: a judge decides. How this is strange to you is strange to me.

That seems to be a strongly held position of Rich himself. He really really wants people to default to ssr with hydration, which they can only deliver with Sveltekit. The new direction they have with a new simpler rpc-like way of loading da

Anecdotally: People who aren't flexible about their job description are some of the worst people to work with. They always leave the tough unforeseen challenges to their colleagues to handle. Kinda the definition of "not a team pl

How much has the algorithm changed in two years? Is it reasonable to think it is unchanged for two years? I would venture that that would not be a safe assumption.

Rich Harris answered this question on Reddit a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/sveltejs/comments/19ac6lp/concern_a... Seems Svelte is still mostly managed as an independent open source project.

Yeah criticizing the dominant culture when you're not the the dominant culture is kinda the definition of snobbish. And calling it American Exceptionalism is missing the mechanism behind it completely. Every hegemonic culture sees them

European here: There are sooooo many other freedoms you aren't considering at all. Typical American exceptionalism. "American values are the only values". I am saying so with a gentle snobbish roll of the eyes.

None of these are SOTA in any benchmark I've seen. Some of them get in the top 10 or top 5 some times. What these Chinese models have that is interesting is that they are much cheaper to run and they are open source. This has pushed th

The last decades have seen dependable gdp growth in China. These are the calm seas that matter in this context. This growth has stopped recently...

In this case it worked out well as a rhetorical device to make you look it up and learn something. Sometimes leaving out something for the reader to wonder about is more powerful.

Free markets are unnatural. Monopoly is natural. Free markets only exist in unnaturally heavily regulated circumstances. If you let the markets to be on their own devices then you get monopoly. Regulation is ironically what makes free marke

Try posting anything about AI or LLMs. You will be inundated with people deriding you for even looking at it. The only accepted opinion on bsky is "ai bad, mkay". The doomerism is suffocating.

Linux is an open project. If you want a closed system then get a console. This is a reasonable stance because these things are fundamentally at odds and can't be reconciled on one machine. Either you have an open hackable system, where
