I've been saying for quite some time now that AI is going to kill the traditional (free) search engine. This is just another nail in the coffin. When an AI searches google.com for you, the ads never get shown to the user. Search engi

Is there any more annoying popup than the newsletter popup? I'd rather see a targeted ad than that BS. NO! I do not want your newsletter! I wouldn't even have an email address if it wasn't absolutely required to operate

I've been using the compose key for over a decade but only recently discovered you can type compose <dash><dash><dash> to produce an em dash. Before then, I always just typed a double-dash (--) to simulate it.

Exposure to AI leads to people writing like AI . Just like when you're hanging out in certain circles, you start to talk like those people. It's human nature.

Another take: Microsoft admitted under oath in France that the US government doesn't care enough about French data to ever have requested any. I'm sure if you asked the current administration what they think of France, they'd

My take: Large: Requires >128GB VRAM Medium: 32-128GB VRAM Small: 16GB VRAM Micro: Runs on a microcontroller or GPUs with just 4GB of VRAM There's really nothing worthwhile for general use cases that runs in under 16GB (from my test

Hopefully this will put pressure on the market to produce much more efficient AI models. As opposed to bigger, then bigger, and then even BIGGER models (which is the current trend). FYI: gpt-oss:120b is better at coding (in benchmarks an

Ah, that's the thing: "on page load". A one-time expense! If you're using modern page routing, "loading a new URL" isn't actually loading a new page... The client is just simulating it via your router

After all my years of web development, my rules are thus: * If the browser has an optimal path for it, use HTTP (e.g. images where it caches them automatically or file uploads where you get a "free" progress API). * If I

Yes and no: There's still a rather large latency improvement even when you're using plain HTTP (not that you should go without encryption). I was very curious so I asked AI to explain why websockets would have such lower latency

It's a lot more complicated than that. If I have a 15MB .js file and it's just a collection of functions that get called on-demand (later), that's going to have a very, very low overhead because modern JS engines JIT compile
136.
by riskable 11mo ago
I was going to say... The size of the JS only matters the first time you download it unless there's a lot of tiny files instead of a bundle or two. What the article is complaining about doesn't seem like it's root cause o

Tried that. I hit the limit way too fast. Faster than Claude Code, even! GPT5-codex (medium) is such a token hog for some reason

I find the "slop" thing interesting because—to me—it looks like laziness. In the same way that anyone can tell ChatGPT to write something for them instead of writing it themselves and just having it check the work... Or going thro

Don't rule out laziness! I'm a very experienced senior dev (full stack, embedded, Rust, Python, web everything, etc)... Could I have spent a ton of time learning the ins and outs of Yjs (and the very special way in which you can i

With all the LLM coding assistants, you have to get a feel for each model and which extension/interface you're using with them. Not only that, but it's also dependent on your project! For example, if you're writing a c

It also doesn't make sense for `process()` to be an attribute of `result`. Why would you instantiate a class and call it result‽

by riskable 11mo ago
My hypothesis: This is why AI is fantastic as a coding assistant but not so great at other things. A software developer—after watching an AI model fail over and over again, trying to say, fix a difficult bug—will stop and approach the iss

I don't think it's possible to say how far away or "never" it is. All we know is that LLMs cannot become AGI. My prediction: AGI will come from a strange place. An interesting algorithm everyone already knew about that g

No, the AI will just use Google, DDG, Bing, etc on behalf of the user (behind the scenes). The ads will be shown to the AI which will ignore them.

DRM is irrelevant. That's only if you want to efficiently extract the text. If you point a camera at an ebook reader with a little motor to tap the screen, "next" that's still easier than scanning physical books. The r
