This is only if you opt in to base-select, so if you don't use that, everything should continue to work the same, as far as I can tell.

I’m not a fan of the current administration, but I’ve found that my lack of trust in science has been driven almost entirely by how science has become less scientific and more bureaucratic, so removing yet another bureaucratic mandate that

Thanks for asking. This may be more information than you were expecting, but here goes! I tried to use it one day and was confronted by a cryptic auth error. It looked like a raw HTML error page but it was rendering in the side panel as pla

That’s great to hear! I’ll give it another shot!

I've enjoyed using Continue and really appreciated the focus on customizability. But my problem with Continue has been the lack of stability. I'll often bounce from one tool to another, so I might not use it for a couple weeks. Al

Hmm. I haven’t used Remix but I’ve avoided it for exactly the same reason, that I might become a victim of their latest business model. They got their start way back with React-Router. At the time, their business was React Training. They’d

Time for a hard fork. Or is it better to double down on the upcoming alternatives like Servo and Ladybug? None of them seem close to being ready though.

The term I’ve seen used the most is “basal cognition”. It’s used to describe agentic problem solving behavior seen at lower scales and in different problem spaces where we normally have trouble imagining intelligence. Michael Levin’s paper,

This seems reasonable, but my concern is that the money would not do much good. It could simply lead to a more powerful bureaucracy that prioritizes its own survival instead of it’s original mission, like what seems to have happened with th

Focusing on what’s being cut and whether the cuts are “right” misses the point. The richest man in the world bought himself a department in the US government and now has free will to run amok. Our country has been an oligarchy for a while n

For an open standard, how do you design it without agreement among a committee? Just let Google go rogue and define it? And have you ever worked in a large company? Have you seen how difficult it is to get any large group of people to agree

Are any of the examples you gave an open standard with multiple implementations from different companies? If Apple gets their implementation wrong, they can always deprecate an API and move forward. If they want to throw out an old implemen

Look at how much effort has gone into just getting a stylable select box. Look at tooltips. A data grid is several orders of magnitude higher in complexity than both of these. You are severely underestimating the complexity of your ask. HTM

It has to handle every possible use case for a grid. You’re thinking of your use case. The spec needs to handle everything else. I don’t see how that’s manageable.

You said "Her video on autism is considered super harmful and misleading by actual autistic people". While you didn't say ALL, you didn't clarify, so your wording says that autistic people categorically think her video i

She does not. She specifically speaks against that kind of thinking. Recently, she stated it as, “Believe arguments, not people.” I couldn’t have said it better. She makes arguments, forcefully. That’s good. That’s what science is supposed

> Her video on autism is considered super harmful and misleading by actual autistic people. I’m autistic and I just watched her video. I found it to be one of the best primers on autism I’ve seen. Not complete, of course, and there’s a l

> Government should have access to its own data. Justice and Congress should have the same access for oversight. On its face, that’s a reasonable comment. But that’s not what’s happening here. This is not oversight. This is the world’s r

I am furious at the Democratic Party for bringing this about. They are the only organization capable of losing to this guy TWICE. With everything at stake, they actually thought it was a good idea to put up an unpopular president who had de

I see him more as a Caesar. In this analogy, Musk would sort of be Augustus. The senate still existed, and there were still consuls and all the trappings of a republic, but he was made princeps. It was a title with no significant official p

This is also how many scientific discoveries start. An n=1 observation. Then more observations, then more validation. This is how we ended up getting ketamine for depression.

Interesting, if this is holds up. I’m not smart enough to understand the mechanism. But it makes me wonder, what’s the point of designing drugs? SSRIs were developed on the faulty theory that depression was caused by low serotonin and that

Ok “lead to” might not be exactly equivalent to “causes”, but it’s not even accurate because tau doesn’t ALWAYS lead to Alzheimer’s. The correlation is not strong. People have tau and no Alzheimer’s and other people have Alzheimer’s symptom

I have first hand experience of being addicted to benzos and drinking at the same time. I could have died. This was the Heath Ledger era, so I knew what could happen, but benzo addiction is so horrible that I didn’t care. I would go to bed

You misunderstand. It is crazy. It is completely reckless. I’m not saying it’s ok or that I agree. I’m simply pointing out that this is a clear and obvious negotiation tactic. It’s a pattern that Trump and Musk have both followed over and o

by dimal 2y ago
It’s important to remember that Musk and DOGE are starting a negotiation and anchoring with a very low initial offer. That’s not where the cuts will end up. But it gets the counterparty to imagine that pain and then when we land at a 10-20%

Seems like with deno, setting granular permissions for only what’s necessary, you might be able to block an attack like this. I’m just getting started with deno, though, so I’m not sure, but it looks doable to me.

Why would this eliminate the need for any VDOM algorithm? I could see how it would simplify VDOM diffing but not eliminate it altogether.

I had to give up news altogether before I could notice this, but yeah, news exists for the sole purpose of creating outrage in order to generate ad impressions. When you get outraged by one story, you’re more likely to click on the next rel
