I don't see where he said it's a bad thing, or even implied it. As I see it, he did imply that superlatives like THE FASTEST PACKAGE MANAGER aren't worth much in this environment.

It's 2.50 an hour because Google has margins. A nation state could do it at cost, and even if it's not a huge difference, the price of a year's worth of embeddings is just $21,900. That's a rounding error, especially con

I credit her for being up-front about it. When you get right down to it, most people have never had much reason outside school to exercise their writing skills all that much. They certainly aren't likely to have the time or inclination

To be perfectly fair, you accused me of insulting you and said you "loathe" a word which I thought was a fairly inert term of art. Would you believe I didn't actually notice that you wanted me to say more? :) More than happy

Why do you list all of these design patterns as though you have to hold them all in your head at the same time? As though each one made the ecosystem successively worse? UI elements automatically reacting to data changes (as oppposed

The novice came to the master. "I have figured it out, the rules for how LLMs understand CLIs. It gives the right commands, but adds colons. It was trained on the visual shape of terminals, not keystrokes." "Clear the session

The president - in his personal capacity - hates windmills. That is probably the entire reason this happened, in addition to hurting blue states.

Should an application framework written in Rust encourage the usage of `unsafe` blocks in application code? It certainly allows for more power and flexibility, and it's supported in the language.

There's nothing wrong with that, and I think I'd have gotten a very different first impression if you had shared a little about yourself. To be fair, I don't think everyone spots LLM text like this, it just jumps out at me.

Let's briefly set aside your belief that because JS supports mutation, a framework should as well. Immutability and one-way dataflow is an unquestionable productivity win. It eliminates an entire class of complexity, and results in wel

This sounds more like the present of version control in the form of Jujutsu, which already supports 3-way merges and history-preserving rebases, and does so with data structures that are trivially representable in a standard git repo. &gt

The value judgement implied in "invented concepts" is kind of weird, and maybe gets at a core difference in how you and I think about this. Frameworks have APIs; they define concepts. Learning concepts isn't a bad thing in an

You share no credentials anywhere so it's hard to verify you know what you're talking about. Normally that wouldn't be necessary, but the AI authorship here is obvious. Every single paragraph has an example of the infamous &q

It makes perfect sense. All it has are words. The thinking of an LLM is necessarily only as rich as the information content of the tokens preceding the next one. All it takes is one buzzword, and then the likelihood of more appearing skyroc

It's impressive for sure! But all of those metrics differ by something like 1 millisecond, and you've only got benchmark data from an M4 Macbook Pro. On the strength of this, you promise us: "The fastest compiled UI framework

It's just a native class. There really is no special syntax you need to pay attention to. Don't confuse syntax with code. Solid has no special syntax (other than JSX of course). This isn't comparing apples to apples
