I think absorbing into React Router makes more sense when you consider that a) most of Remix was just RR, and b) Remix had at most 5-10% the users that RR has[0] (probably fewer). I think the "modes" distinction[1] within React Ro

I am excited about Remix 3 and I've been following all their work for years, but I agree about the naming — when Ryan said at React Conf 2024 that Remix wasn't going away, but just "taking a nap", they should have taken

Just want to second this. I find Zed nearly unusable due to weird rendering in the terminal.

It is appalling writing. Given that Opus is capable of a lot better than this, it seems likely they’re prompting it to be terrible.

Interesting to see quotes but note N=20 and the methodology doesn’t seem all that rigorous. I didn’t see anything that wasn’t exactly what you would expect to hear.

GraphQL is just a typed schema (good) with a server capable of serving any subset of the entire schema at a time (pain in the ass).

It is the LLMs because they have to be RLed to be good at these things.

One example is that there used to be a whole complex apparatus around getting models to do chain of thought reasoning, e.g., LangChain. Now that is built in as reasoning and they are heavily trained to do it. Same with structured outputs an

The tools have reached the point where no special knowledge is required to get started. You can get going in 5 minutes. Try Claude Code with an API key (no subscription required). Run it in the terminal in a repo and ask how something works

This article claimed they had single-digit monthly cash burn in August, when they had over $500M ARR (so let's say $41M monthly) and 150 employees. If that is true, they are spending way less than 200% of revenue. "Anysphere runs

I asked GPT-5 about it before writing the above comment and got a pretty interesting answer about how, for example, you can’t write a function that takes a number as an argument and returns an array of that length (length enforced by the ty

This made me realize TypeScript’s conditional types are closer to dependent types than I thought.

The question is: fine-tuning for what? Reasoning is not a particular task, it is a general-purpose technique for directing more compute at any task.

"It shifts us from a “per-seat” license to “usage-based” pricing, which is a much better model for how we work. It accounts for the massive variance in developer usage (We’ve seen 1:100x differences between engineers)." This is ho

It’s not even an obscure Lisp flavor. It’s Scheme. You’re getting thrown off by the fact that they need their own embeddable interpreter for it written in Rust. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

It’s a ridiculous and inflammatory claim to make about a clearly successful project with an enthusiastic community of users who love it. The maintainers have day jobs and have a clear and narrow vision that they don’t want to mess up by car

I think you have it backwards in two ways: 1. While Helix dev is on the slow side, I think what you’re describing as specific to Helix is in fact the typical case in open source 2. In this case the author did a bunch of work up front and th

Worth mentioning that while this was very nice work by a Helix enthusiast, it was proposed as a replacement for the official docs and mostly rejected, and for good reasons IMO. An instructive discussion! https://github.com/h

Sounds similar to a short script I use to generate branch names with jj, which has the advantage that you don’t have to name a branch until after you’ve already written the code, so the LLM can name it based on the contents of the diff. ht

Even in the mathematical/formal realm, the meaning of reasoning is not as clear as it seems. The result of the activity of reasoning may be a formal argument that can be evaluated according to well-defined rules, but the actual proce

I agree that this is mostly OpenAI’s fault, though I also think people posting strong claims about LLMs online have a responsibility to know slightly more than the average user.
