Also, how many are there? Is it even known?

It's perfectly reasonable that we would have disagreements about this, as it's a new thing, complicated and not fully understood, its uses still being explored. It reminds me, oddly, of the debate over whether video games can be &

It seems like we're witnessing the architecture of a mind being built with a new set of components. Like driving a car — it's transportation, and it will get you where you're going, but it doesn't use bones or muscles. I

Many numbers already have! That's why we keep coming up with new, harder, benchmarks.

Assuming it's #1 a bigger model (given that it is slower), I'm sure there are a variety of improvements but basically they probably mostly come down to: Scaling keeps working. Are there fundamental improvements though? I don'

Yup. Like comparing pricing of cars to pricing of horses. Lovable is competing with future platforms, not present ones.

Do you mean you always have to bring your lunch to school with you, in Australia? I went to a weird high school in the US where that was the case. They just didn't have a lunch room, so everybody sat in the hallways at lunch time. But

It's not the school that's in debt, it's individual families who owe money to the lunch program. But yeah, the problem you point out — families can go into debt again — is real, I think.

Fighting dirty is tempting, but it doesn't solve the problems, which require empathy and dialog. In the long run, the only hope humanity has is its better nature. This current chapter may need to play out, and constructive forces pick

I've encountered people who sincerely dislike talk of "values", and I think it's because they have seen them used as a flog rather than an inspiration. My guess is that there was a leader in their past who set values but

I find "ego" to be really interesting — on the one hand you want high-ego: confidence to try things, strong sense of mission — and on the other hand you want low-ego: selfless giving, able to let go of ideas that aren't worki

Your secret is out. Hopefully it's everybody's secret, and we just have different preferences. But then "use technologies that you enjoy, and add LLMs" is a less grabby headline.

Thank you for writing it! LLMs have an "old" feeling to me because they're based on human language. I totally felt your blog post.

It's a thought-provoking headline. Is that the same as clickbait? You'll have to be the judge.

For sure — I've seen that struggle. This discussion tells me we have not yet reached perfection in UI! Toasts are good for me, but definitely not good for the users you and others have described. My hope is that small AIs inside UX can

React really is pretty good as long as it keeps evolving. Innovations tend to come from new frameworks such as Svelte and SolidJS, and then React adopts them — this new compiler is an example. React is hobbled by the need to retain backward

The worst library except for all the others? The complexities are there for good reasons IMO; I also like React — and I look forward to the compiler allowing simpler code.
