I agree with your sentiment, but at some point backwards compatibility has to break. Rust handles it better than basically anything out there. If it bothers you, you should never try any other language except maybe plain, no-framework JS. P

I don’t really understand the benefit vs. Kubernetes? Like, with modern agents and a generic Kubernetes cluster (and there are SO MANY providers), a good LLM harness can do basically anything you’d want to do, if you structure your work pro

I’ve been working on an Elm rewrite of the React FE of my federated social media service, Jonline ( https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline ). It’s up at https://jonline.io (and https://bullcity.socia

I agree with you about “thoroughness” being key here, but I’d additionally advocate that we need to leave room for people to make some slop learn it. Part of the learning process, whether you’re a “skilled” or “unskilled” engineer (or not a

I don’t like being disagreeable, but just no. On both of these. First, the comparison is perfectly fair. Elm 0.19.1, 6 years ago/0.19.2 today, React 16.1 6 years ago/19.2 today. Literally identical conditions. What is unfair? Whic

I’ve been using Elm professionally at a very profitable, lean company the last two years. (Didn’t know it coming in, but had enough React, Redux, and other experience to learn quickly.) The Elm community would call this a feature. How much

I think “when you buy a product, be it a game, a house, a car, a computer, a tractor, washer, TV, it should continue to operate without rent-seeking behavior” is the best type of straightforward, uniformly-applicable pattern of regulation o

Part of me hopes that without React (poorly) filling the void, something like Elm could have gained traction. But ultimately I think it’s unlikely.

I’m rather optimistic about the future of smaller open-source models and market competition actually doing its job here, honestly. I myself, again, err on the side of doing things with my own brain. But there are many things LLMs are useful

We’re in a world where LLMs are basically going to be extensions of how we think. An additional thing we use to do a lot of thinking tasks. As a piano player, it’s important to work hands separately. Sometimes your right hand will carry the

What are “vs code hooks” exactly? A search for that or “VSCode Hooks” isn’t turning up anything for me in Kagi or Google…

I'd hope most functional adults understand that the Fields Medal and basically every other annual "prize" out there is awarded to both "recombinant" innovations and "new-dimensional thinking" innovations.

The “cars stopping in random places everywhere in any remotely urban area” thing has become a huge problem in general. It’s probably our clearest sign of the fundamental scalability problems of car-centric design. Assuming we can’t signific

We’ve had a looming crisis for decades of young people increasingly not understanding a lot of the fundamentals of mathematical logic. And I think treating LLMs (which are amazing tools) as “AI,” and having it play this type of role, is the

I’d say both local data structures and algorithms atop them, and external services like DBs, etc., are both just “resources” in a more abstract sense. Optimizing performance is a matter of using the right resources for the right things. Alg

Kagi Translate is fantastic. Multilingual support is honestly one of the best things about LLMs, imo.

I’ve only taken two buses in Brazil (Goiânia to Pirenópolis and back), and can definitely report that this was not the case there. It was incredibly hot and dry there until you hit the mountains, and the AC barely worked. Granted, I think t

There’s an entire Linux distro (Asahi) for MacBooks. Apple has never released a Mac with a locked bootloader. And macOS frankly provides a far better Unix experience than ChromeOS, in my experience, having actually used both (including for

This is what I built Jonline for. Haven’t maintained it for a while, but it’s quite functional as-is. Basically a very vanilla Twitter/Reddit-with-first-class-calendar-events, standard Rust web+gRPC server on Postgres DB, React web UI,

We definitely don’t have any hard boundaries baked into this tech preventing big tech from (ab)using our data this way. But are there specific companies you think are doing this? I think with Meta products, it’s been rather obvious for a lo

I built Jonline for this purpose. If you’d be interested in deploying it, I’d love to help. https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline

I guess the flipside of this is, do we want poor/homeless people from groups our society dubs “overrepresented” to only be able to find help from organizations that specifically serve selected “overrepresented” groups? Are there no o

I might argue the opposite. What would that have added to this release?

Out of curiosity, what kind of physical shape are you in? I’m nearing 40 and have wanted kids my entire life, but similarly, haven’t found the right partner. If I ever felt I was too old to have kids I’d probably have no choice but to kill

Unless the baby was born into more debt than those people, no. It’s a fact that the baby is wealthier than they are. A substantial portion of our population is in debt. This is a fact. What are you even questioning here??

by pseudocomposer 9mo ago
It’s only “misleading” if you’re so out of touch that you don’t know a substantial portion of the population is in crippling debt. There’s nothing misleading about the fact that negative net worth is worse than zero. And a person without de
