<p>Hey Ryan, just want to congratulate you on this. I've _loved_ solid since well before it's v1 release, and use it in all my side projects.<p>If anyone hasn't tried it I highly recommend it. Simply put: Solid makes the "dumb and naive code" the optimal code. It takes all the pain of React away.<p>I agree with your sentiment that we've pushed web frontend performance as far as we should bother. I think optimizing calls is the next frontier. On that end, I like the approach for async, but maybe I have a suggestion?<p>Solid needs a tightly coupled request library that emits signals/resources directly. That "server-side" data binding layer would be the missing glue. I think server actions sort of get at that, but I've never really been satisfied with them. Just my 2c.<p>Step one of all my projects is always wrap a bunch of fetch calls into whichever correct incantation of solid primitives. Plus, the solid compiler should be able to early load those requests via static analysis and improve real life FCP / LCP times without the developer needing to do gymnastics.</p>

<p>"Everyone's doing it" presented with no evidence is just you trying to make yourself feel better for:
- using from
- driving a Tesla
- voting for Trump<p>It's a really, really easy line to draw in the sand: don't support openly corrupt individuals.<p>It's absolutely true there's money in politics. To call all money in politics equally corrupt because Bernie got a dollar to have dinner with someone vs Elon effectively directly buying votes....<p>A complete lack of nuance here. And I wouldn't be surprised if corporations / super rich WANT you to think like that. The more defeatist the mentality becomes the more we just accept whatever they do next.</p>

<p>Not a bad concept, but there's an unwritten rule in most puzzles that the clue and answer can't overlap. Really messed with me for shark tank.<p>Meanwhile, and I say this as someone who plays a lot of puzzles, this feels distinctly unfair? Too many valid positions for each answer, which makes it more sodoku like but without the ability to validate against concrete rules. Forces a full mental layout of every possible position to find the one(?) Valid layout.</p>

<p>I've said this before on my blog, but the new metaphor I've been using is drug development.<p>It costs billions to develop a drug (model) and pennies to produce the actual pill (tokens).<p>The government regulates the drug industry to give companies an exclusive period to recoup the costs before generics can jump in.<p>AI lacks that regulation which means frontiers are guaranteed to just bleed to death.</p>

<p>Right.<p>If you are used to docker compose and don't care about redundancy or authoring your own stuff. Just setup storage and then use helm install. It feels like an app store at that level.<p>Grow from there as needs arise.</p>

<p>I learned it for this setup. I do zero devops at work, there's a separate team that handles that (and even then, they're not on kubernetes).<p>I learned it because it seemed like the right way to do things and fun. Cut myself a few times in the earliest days having no clue, but no regrets.</p>

<p>Lot of kubernetes hate here, which is surprising. I run a little 3 node cluster and besides the hardware issues I had (long story), it has been rock solid and dead easy to setup.<p>Talos + longhorn + fluxcd (optional), is super nice. And everything beyond that is additive and just works within the ecosystem.<p>If anything, it helped keep my stuff alive during all the hardware issues a lot longer.<p>I think like 5-6 years ago, kubernetes on baremetal was pretty painful. People should really give it another try, an LLM can probably set it up for you and fire off the docker compose to manifests in one shot. Or just follow the docs yourself, maybe a dozen commands to get a cluster running?<p>All the enterprisey stuff makes it feel a lot more complex than it really is.</p>

<p>I ran Ms-01s with 100GBE, copper DACs in my kubernetes cluster. Killed the NVME drives in that tiny box. I'd bet the same issue doing this with FW. And I wasn't even pushing 100GBE very hard at all, it was mostly for fun.<p>AI + 100GBE (under load) + tiny box = unreliable and eead very quickly.</p>

<p>That was my experience with Fable as well. Pulled my extremely complex project that I could squint and see was possible, but actually put mathematical concreteness to things in a way I could only intuit.<p>On the flip side, visualizers have always fascinated me. I love this one, but one build off I've always wanted to see: analyze the entire file a priori, and then generate the visuals. Sort of like a normalization pass, but getting longer form structures decoded ahead of time could be pretty neat.</p>

<p>Apple is actually interesting. They are one of the few companies with a chip / PC play with real power AND basically no play I'm the hyperscalar market.<p>That means they're actually incentivized at least short term, to benefit PCs becoming strong enough to do local LLMs. Which makes this play make even more sense. Though, I've been saying for a while that the local AI inflectiom point is the death knell for these frontier labs.</p>

<p>If Fable is only for US citizens, presumably that will apply to enterprises as well.<p>I used fable on some difficult stuff and it was surprisingly good.<p>It's safe to say that models aren't going to get worse.<p>Does that mean: US citizens will get an edge in hireability?<p>Assuming:
1. Non-US companies can't keep up
Or
2. That model improvements continue to convince management of productivity improvements</p>

<p>Things are worse than ever. And these types of opinions are just Ostrich strategies. This worked fine 20 years ago, and would be a wildly inappropriate and irresponsible way to live today.<p>Yes, a lot of the news is sensationalized and blown out of proportion.<p>But also YES, things are absolutely trending in the wrong direction and you should both be aware of that and be loudly screaming about it. Going to protests, boycotting companies run by these CEOs leading us into oligarchy, and letting people know your stance.<p>The idea that "I can't do anything about it, so I'll just bury my head in the sand" is the rhetoric that the people benefitting from rigging the system want you to have. It makes it easier for them to screw you over.<p>No, your brain was neven designed for this much bad news. It also wasn't designed for the Internet, tv, smartphones, processed food, soda, painting, sleeping in a bed, to infinity. It's a garbage argument that falls apart at first glance.<p>Edit to add: I highly recommend meditation and days off from technology. But the answer is not what many people in this thread are proposing. Steve Bannon's "flood the zone" strategy is winning.</p>
