it always cracks me up that the training data always already contains the answers. There's more token guessing here with a lot of unavoidable hallucinations.

> But, composing recursively leads to state being held in multiple layers and computations repeated across layers. True, which is why re-frame has a dependency graph and subscriptions that avoid re-computation, i.e. the data dependencie

In many (but not all) scenarios "Make illegal states unrepresentable" is way too expensive to implement. Especially when dealing with a fast changing domain, having to support different versions of data shapes across long time per

What's the compilation time impact of that?

Brave tried to fix this but the jury is still out if it has any chance of succeeding. The lack of diverse monetization models is forcing web sites to maximize for annoying-but-not-too-annoying. I'm waiting for a browser where I can col

> A Rama operation does not return a value to its caller. It emits values to its continuation. This is a critical distinction, as part of what makes Rama operations more general than functions is how they can emit multiple times, not emi

One of the reasons I'd disregard gRPC for front-end development is my belief that data exchange between front and back-ends should be driven by the front-end. The UX drives the shape of data it needs from back-ends. Any UI work I do is

Summary: Someone's gotta pay for the Ramen. A good start would be to demand that internet infrastructure operators do just that - and nothing more. Internet providers do just that one job: Routing IP. No peeking into my packages please

I feel the same pay-off - but arrived at that point via Clojure. Immutable-first, aim for purity, ability to drop out of it when necessary. As stringent as you need it to be (static vs. dynamic types vs. specs), as flexible as you want it t

The problem with all of these trick questions is that you don't know what was already in the training data - readily and easily available for completion. I.e. you can't tell if a result was produced by "reasoning" or by

I'll use the autopilot in regular traffic on highways only. But I'm also aware that glare will mess with the cameras in my Mach-E. Also, the driver attention system warns me if I'm not paying attention to traffic. I.e. know w

The issue with stack-based languages is that my brain is not good at keeping the stack in my head. It's like packing things into a backpack and then only at the end learn that we are going to Alaska instead of Hawaii.

Ah, the magical disappearing type system - now being used for nominal typing. I'm curious to see what the JS code looks like for casts and type checks in that case.

Sweet poem. I remember being blown away when I studied computer science. The whole idea that there are inherit limits to computing on Turing machines seemed crazy. Gödel's incompleteness theorems has a similar proof that will mess with

I've been enjoying "signals" in the form of re-frame subscriptions for many years now. They solve a neat subset of problems in front-end developments. But they don't solve all of them. Adding it to JavaScript as language

Yaml is beloved when it's maybe two pages of little indented config. It becomes a nightmare once people try to emulate a DSL with it.

Honestly, if you spend that much code on a single `printf`, I will reject your PR and we will have a conversation about code maintenance and cost. Please don't adopt this.

It is a highly evolved bacterium for sure. It still hasn't figured out how to form multi-cell clusters. And let's hope it stays that way ;) Also scale is subject to physical limitations. Bones can only carry that much weight - ch

I know. But this is very well understood and researched. All it requires is mutations, time and selection pressure. The Blind Watchmaker is still a good read.

The issue you seem to be trying to solve is that of authenticity and change management. > The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. That is incorrect.
