yes. this looks useful, but is it different fundamentally from the scaffolding generators that come with react, rails, Xcode, etc?

was that 30 hours mostly about curiosity - or was chatGPT helping you with some outside tasks as well at times?

article states that it was on Canada's orders. I didn't know that was a thing, Canadian PM having the power to command US jets. Can anyone who knows more about NORAD weigh in with an ELI5?

there's a magic with fast refresh which is that the code doesn't need to be rebundled and redeployed after a change. this would correspond to the linking and execution phase in c++. makes for an amazing experience when you are doi

that's not part of Fast Refresh. Fast Refresh only compiles the lines you've changed - something like that.

Great writeup, thanks to the author for sharing his deep experience in such a readable way. My career has also spanned different eras of UI tech, from win16/32, through server-generated HTML, Objective C and Swift/UI on mobile, an

me: haha cute, but this would never work in the real world because of the myriad undocumented rules, exceptions, and domains that exist in my app/company. 12 year old: I used GPT to create a radically new social network called Axlotl.

digital can look like crap. but it can also look pretty good. its down to the artistry. easy to fuck up in ways film couldn't be fucked up. and don't discount the fact that everything is being watched on OLED which is not as good

Is this the kind of rumor that starts a "run on the bank"?

so Japan (and South Korea?) secretly want Taiwan to go China, because that will make it easier for them to be all-in on the American security umbrella?

You have to find them first. Not so easy in blue water.

Wouldn't China be astronomically more deterred from invading Japan under any circumstances, given that it would lead to all out war with the US (wouldn't it?)

ELI5 Why can't Japan just route its ships around Taiwan, into the open ocean?

a key difference between bad art and good art is that good art contains something conceptually new, and chatgpt struggles to come up with new things.

Any ORM as long as its ActiveRecord.

nope. it understands nothing except the statistical link between a sequence of words and the next word in the sequence. read up before you lash out!

I know this is cute, but it shows up the typical weakness of chatGPT - that it has no idea what it's talking about. In this case, it lacks the incredibly basic knowledge that a leaf falling from a tree is not an unusual occurrence.

Web 1.0 was very simple programatically: 1. user requests page 2. program generates page 3. user clicks on something. 4. * entire page is regenerated * Javascript was terribly incompatible across browsers, so it was avoided. Then in 2004 or

this is a cool model and I do something similar (I use native code to render the webview). though I wouldn't describe it as abandoning RN, because I use react-native-web inside that webview. rn-web provides certain features that are cr
