Funny enough, I have a simple test that I have been running on each new model that catches my eye on OpenRouter. It is just a short prompt that asks the model to research yesterdays news and summarize it in a specific format along with a cr

> `hx-alpine-compat` - smooths over compatibility issues between htmx and Alpine.js I looked into this when I tried HTMX 4 on a project earlier this year. I actually found that https://alpine-ajax.js.org/ was smaller tha

Nice. I’ve been using the new split tabs in Chrome. Works perfectly. I believe Firefox had this first?

I used HTMX to serve my HTML partials. My HTML partials got too big. Not HTMXs fault. How do I fix that? Split them up? Use lazy loading? Pagination? That isn’t clear. I settled on a solution that gave me the least compromises while not aba

by james2doyle 2mo ago
Yeah, exactly. People seem to think I was holding it wrong. Maybe! But I gave HTMX an honest try. Another team would have just done a whole React thing, no HATEOAS, boatload of JS, and a bunch more memory. I will likely use HTMX again for s

The cards contained a large data table outlining a bunch of attributes across many columns and rows. Not an ideal design but the client wanted those stats included in the card so they were visible right away. We could have paginated the res

Because the form changed based on the selections you made. Like facet search. Say you have a clothing store listing page and you filter for only "Shirts". Well, the filter that has "Material" might remove (or disable) th

That is what I ended up doing but once I did that, I had a hell of a time getting that dynamic form working well with just the HTMX primitives. I even tried to do two different partials that would be fetched when I needed each one to rerend

It isn’t literally AJAX. Just a catchy name. It is just a fetch wrapper that mimics the $get, $post, etc. API

To sync the form state based on the current selections in the form. This is often called facets. The form contained many options and as you filtered those options would change. So you need a way to update the form too. Hence, compute the fu

Exactly. The partial response was 100kb-200kb of HTML + the backend query time. Of course, depending on your filters. But a large chunk of that was just sending down the form on the left side, which I already had on page load, so that penal

If I wanted to do that I would have added pagination. But that UX also sucks in a different way. I think dynamically fetching results (ala infinite scroll) would have been more complicated to build. I would have had to add an intersection d

That is what I did. I was using Astro which has full support for partial HTML via the router

I actually tried to use HTMX on a site recently. I used the 4.0 beta. The site needed an interactive filterable product-listing-page-type experience to list out all their vendors. Form filters on the left and the list of results "cards

There are actually quite a few elements failing the Lighthouse accessibility audit. This page also has 26 emdashes on it. For a page that isn’t an article, that seems pretty high.

Been using this and GLM 5.2 back and forth. I like the speed of Hy3. Also seems very happy to follow instructions. Still haven’t found any open models that follow instructions as good as Mimo v2 pro though

What if your measure is cost? Or zero-data-retention? Or diversity of inference providers? On those measures it is better.

by james2doyle 2mo ago
Yeah sounds like maybe you got stuck in a loop? If you’re a big Deepseek fan, check out their Codewhale harness. It is actually really slick and you can use your OpenRouter account with it. You can use any model you want but it is really ta

Tokens and speed are a factor but does it require less back and forth to get things right? Being "fast and cheap but wrong" still has a cost that an otherwise "expensive and slow" exchange does not

Oh, usually when that is announced the stealth model updates to the unmasked one. They did that with "Ling 2.6 flash" which was elephant-alpha. I guess we may see an update today then

Do they still have that issue where it will randomly spit out a string of emojis when using voice to text?

by james2doyle 3mo ago
We sound similar. I have found that the voice to text can often just randomly start spitting out emojis. Did you find that?

There are some demo spaces using this. This one seems the best (paint your own mask) but it failed on all the images I tried: https://huggingface.co/spaces/multimodalart/Moebius

Had to disagree with that. However, I don't think you can discount how much Anthropic has been banging the drum about how AI is dangerous (specifically theirs) and an existential threat, etc. etc. The rollout of Mythos was clearly manu

Just last week you could distill using other users responses! Handy!

I think the stronger incentive is undermining/undercutting the Western AI companies. Given what we have seen, any model can be used/convinced to do harm so that is just part of the game

by james2doyle 3mo ago
Yeah, so true. There is no moat to your competitors using the exact same tools and prompts to generate their apps and services. Companies should be hiring/retaining creative thinkers that give them that human edge rather than laying pe

How’s that meme go? "We are 2/3 years into being 6 months away from AI taking all white collar jobs". The criticism goes both ways. The word "fixed", in Ed terms, can be translated to "become a viable business
