> This shit right here - {#if <condition>} {:else} {/if} - is why Svelte is deterring me. For the love of god, can we stop coming up with weird custom syntax for templating code? I noticed that, too. Also, the {#each posts as

Also, you don’t have to go to those extreme lengths to prevent the bulk of photoaging. Just staying out of the sun during peak UV hours and consistently using sunscreen on the areas that get the most exposure (face, neck, hands) will get yo

Python has its flaws (package management and the GIL come to mind). But the language itself is just beautiful, and _designed_. It makes it so many common tasks expressible in compact, readable code. I’d be willing to jump through some hoops

I don’t think it does when the markup you’re generating gets more complex. At least, not compared to Vue templates. What I like about Vue is that you can work up a static design, then cut and paste chunks into single file components, add in

Just the visual appearance. It’s so chaotic. I’m sure it’s very powerful, and that’s why people like it. I just don’t have a very high tolerance for clutter.

I don’t come from a JS background, and JS makes me very angry every time I use it. But it’s unavoidable if you want to build something on the web. I tried to pick up React a few years ago for a project, saw the JSX, and put it right back do

That’s a good point. I think tolerability is the only drawback, otherwise zinc is functionally superior because it doesn’t get depleted in the way that chemical filters do. It does tend to be a lot heavier and greasier, though, and I’d say

I imagine they’ll think that the problems went unsolved?

Completely disagree. Fatigue isn’t just an “idea,” it’s an unavoidable consequence of repeated exposure to a stimulus. The political will to solve problems is a finite resource. Squandering it on trivial crusades is, IMO, one of the most wa

Well not everyone is in contractual privity with GitHub — like the poster a few up whose code was included in someone else’s repo. GitHub’s TOS have no effect in that circumstance.

And much more enjoyable. I haven’t tried Copilot yet, but the process of letting it generate something and then checking it for accuracy sounds mind-numbing and stressful. Kind of like supervising a car that’s on assisted cruise: I don’t en

Only a limited subset of the available chemical filters are suspected of having an effect on coral. Further, even for those filters that are suspected, I have read that the science is inconclusive. I personally am skeptical of the idea that

Well, there’s an implicit label, isn’t there? Translation models are shown pairs of texts in two languages, so the implicit label is “these two texts are saying the same thing”. Won’t you always need some form of supervision to learn the ma

> “There are a lot of things we don’t know, but it is not magic. . . . [I]n the end it’s all electrochemistry.” That’s an element of a belief system you may choose to subscribe to, not a fact. It can’t be a fact because there’s no way to

I wouldn’t be too surprised if tools are created to quantify the amount of a source image that’s gone into an output image.

I see this type of reduction again and again to advocate for one position or another relating to ML. Human consciousness and thought processes aren’t “just” anything (math, electrical impulses, etc.) — the fact is, we don’t know what the br

They absolutely do. What they don’t do is mechanistically clone compressed mathematical representations of input data. The human part of the creative process could very well be a distinguishing feature, legally.

There are really significant, novel copyright issues implicated by these large generative models trained on other people’s IP. If you take a step back, you can see that there are different ways to frame what is happening. One frame is: “Def

I think that’s a pretty apt comparison. A latent variable (or latent factor in PCA terms) is (basically) a direction in a n-dimensional space, where n is the length of the vector. The direction is correlated with some type of variance in t

From the anecdotes I’ve heard, I believe the “legal” cannabis industry is pretty shady. Even the business/professional services that orbit the industry are kind of shady. So I’m kind of amused at the idea of taking a business sector

1. Accept that feeling regret and self-doubt is normal and uncomfortable. 2. While accepting the feeling and not trying to change it, understand that it is a feeling and, therefore, not evidence of fact (no matter how compelling the feeling

I don’t think it has anything to do with an entitled attitude. Nobody is demanding that Salesforce provide free services. What I see instead is valid criticism of sleazy business practices. IMO, the fact that Slack won’t unconditionally per

My family has been using Slack for several years to share/store odds and ends like recipes and bookmarks. When I heard about this change, I did a full data export. After 5+ years of not-infrequent use, the data blob was all of 1.5 MB.

A cardinal rule of choosing restaurants is to avoid the ones with huge, unfocused menus. The quality is uniformly terrible and the kitchens are often unsanitary. I imagine that running one of these in the dark is not going to improve on tha

Vue 3’s <Teleport> component pretty much solves this, as any component can inject a part of its template to anywhere else in the DOM (edit: even outside of the app’s root element). Very nice feature.

Yes, pretty useless except for play and experimentation. Real chatbots (by “real” I mean ones that are deployed to perform work) actually tend to rely on a lot of hand-coded rules, as you can observe by talking to Siri, or Alexa, or the Ama
