I like to compare models with a similar score on cost per task and output tokens per task since those measure two things I'm interested in: cost efficiency and token efficiency. Here's how GLM-5.3 compares to other models in a sim

That's fair, but I think going on _just_ the quantifiable stuff was still enough of a justification for us. My feels are that the cost of our confusing former name is higher than we know, but the known cost was still great enough.

Scott from Gel here. I suspect for everyone we talked to in the "So, this is a database for Edge computing?" camp there were a dozen people who thought that and just kept moving even if they were our target audience. It's har

I haven't had a face to go with these voices, and now they are canonically two pelicans. Thank you for putting this in my head.

This really was solidified by going through the course at https://type-level-typescript.com since it involves learning the type-level language of TypeScript and solve little puzzles. Doesn't really address performance much,

Yeah! Making explicit return types, especially of public functions, is a good practice to follow. I'd say the main reason isn't performance, though, but rather to ensure you have a stable public API for your module. How much it ac

Good news! There is a configuration option for that: https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#noEmitOnError

Hey, article's author here! Happy to answer any questions, or poke at this general problem with anyone who is interested. Understanding the type checker and its performance is my current personal focus and I find it helpful to bat arou

Super excited to see Automerge getting this high-level API out. Been following since before 1.0 and I can't wait to play around with the latest incarnation! Congrats to the Automerge team.

Hopefully we will get real pattern-matching at some point ( https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching ), but I kinda sorta like this!

A lot of the comments here seem to think this has to become the next Uber, but it really doesn't. It just needs to sustain the cooperative workers and provide a service at whatever scale makes sense for them and our community (speaking

"The only thing that matters is HEAD+1. I don’t even know why we use version control. It’s entertaining, I guess—the commits and the bug fixes and the rewrites, and stuff like that. But what already happened doesn’t really matter. You

I'm not sure why you think that, but private industry did not make slavery in America. Large royal charters and monopolies granted by the crown created huge estates and large tracts of low value farmland that could only become valuable

You're kind of agreeing with my point here. I'm saying that tempering evil with the state is a legitimate use of the state apparatus. That shouldn't be construed as thinking that the state can actually fix the underlying caus

I, for one, am divided on issues like this and all of the other social issues of our time. In my world-view, the cause is the state (don't take that to mean society, I mean literally the state apparatus) so all of these state-sponsored

It needs to be rewritten, unfortunately. However this isn't just rewriting it so it works with one tool, since this is the new module syntax. I imagine that a future version of jQuery, and probably most libraries going forward, will w

The basis of the complaints raised in this article, is that they didn't want to include jQuery just for the query string parser. I think rollup and ES2015 modules is taking us in the right direction which allows large projects like jQu
