I guess I fail to see why this is such a problem. Yes it would be nice if the wire format were standardized or had a standard schema description, but is writing a parser that handles several formats actually a difficult problem? Modern mode

AFAIK that's not really true, at least of modern vapes. Their function is not to "make fire", it's to heat a metal coil to a specific temperature at which propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin will aerosolize which is

IMO it does not. At least to me the meaning and value of something is in the creative human design behind it, not the tools used to build it. I don’t think AI changes much there. It’s a (very powerful) tool but still IMO the value lies with

I wrote the vscode extension for Ki. It would almost certainly be usable with Zed since it talks with the editor over a websocket. Check out the code in the Ki repo.

Yeah that’s it. Bundles the editor binary with the extension so you don’t have to install it separately.

I made the vscode integration for this. I feel bad that I haven’t contributed much since, it’s a really cool project. IMO it’s important to try to innovate in the foundational tools of our craft (editors, languages, tooling, OS, etc) which

Yeah, it's unfortunate but it's not really react-native/facebook's fault. Apple doesn't allow any sort of JIT to run on iOS outside of their builtin webkit js engine. That means that AFAIK there's no way to run

Romulus was pretty good actually. If you want great newer aliens universe play the game Alien: Isolation. It’s the best piece of media in the aliens universe since Aliens. It’s an amazing experience and blows all of the later films/sho

Alien: Isolation truly is an under appreciated masterpiece. One of the best video games ever made IMO. Aesthetic, sound design (put on headphones and watch the reactor purge scene or the spacewalk near the end it’s phenomenal sound design),

Personally I’ve been using Brave browser on desktop and iOS. It has some of the best adblocking on mobile. Also use adguard pro which provides dns level filtering.

It certainly doesn’t feel good to have turned out being correct after warning that this is where we were headed way back in the dubyah years. This has always been the plan, it hasn’t been hidden, corporate media has just succeeded in sanewa

I’ve been experimenting with this, it’s a very interesting problem space! https://github.com/evelant/synchrotron Idea is to sync business logic calls instead of state. Let business logic resolve all conflicts client si

Cool stuff! This looks quite similar to https://traycer.ai/ I think there's probably a lot of value to be gained in tooling for coding agents that codify and enhance the describe -> explore -> plan -> refine -

I’ve largely solved this with the context7 mcp server. Any time my prompt is likely to touch apis I know the LLM will get wrong I tell it to review the docs with context7 first.

It would be up to application logic. This prototype essentially offers the same behavior you would get with a traditional backend API except it works offline. The results would be the same as if clients made those calls to a backend api, th

It does not pick an arbitrary order for operations. They happen in total (known at the time, eventually converging) order across all clients thanks to hybrid logical clocks. If events arrive that happened before events a client already has

You're right, it's not the same as conflict/merge semantics, but you probably could implement those semantics on top of it. My idea was more about being able to merge offline states for arbitrary data without user interventio

For a text document a normal CRDT is perfect. They're very good for that specific case. What I tried to solve is eventual consistency that _also_ preserves application semantics. For example a task tracker: * first update sets task can

I've prototyped something attempting to solve this problem of preserving user intent and maintaining application semantics. See comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45180325

The pattern I came up with is similar to event sourcing but with some CRDT and offline-first concepts mixed in. By using logical clocks and a client side postgres (pglite) it doesn't have to keep the entire event history for all time a

I prototyped exactly such a framework! It's designed to solve exactly the problem you mentioned. It’s a super interesting problem. https://github.com/evelant/synchrotron The gist is: * Replicating intentions (acti

The more years I've been developing software (and it's been awhile) the more I come to find that the answer is almost always "it depends". The definition of "simple" depends on the case, the requirements, and t

Have you considered expanding this idea to more than just ebikes? For example at least here in the US lithium ion tool batteries come with lots of different connector shapes just to lock users into a brand and are not repairable. Manufactur

I'd love to hear what you think of the idea. I really like what electric is building. I'm actually hacking on getting pglite to run on react-native right now =)
