I had the same thought the other day, once you feel a certain way, identifying it in others is much easier. Definitely true for depression and suicide, but I guess I've also seen it be true for gay people as well (who always seem to know within seconds who is and isn't gay).

It's unfortunate that we live in a world that has decided to push in this direction.

I have started a work project that is 100% vibe engineered, as an experiment to see where it would land. While it seems to be working, I can see that it has made so many mistakes along the way that it is still unclear if we can dig ourselves to production ready.

I was at an art museum recently, and was looking at a marble statue. And I thought to myself: this artist probably spent more time sculpting the big toe than anyone has spent appreciating the entire statue.

That speed is what we used to have in software engineering. So much careful craftsmanship, no line just yeeted out. And now we're just heading into a direction with no clear end, just prayers that bigger and better models will lift us forward.

What's the point of being human if we're so gung ho to remove that which separates us from other animals (our intellect)?

Would you rather have 1M dollars in cash or 10B in stock that you can't sell?

Just laziness / not necessary for my commute. However, my understanding is that keeping the battery around 80% is better for lifespan. So, the convenience will actually result in longer lasting batteries?

The problem is that it makes it easier to fool people and provide "cryptographic" evidence of validity, backed by big tech.

It's purpose is to stop bad actors from passing of fake as real just as much as it is to prevent real images being dismissed as fake.

And if we think college degrees don't matter, there's plenty of professions that require time on the job, rotations, flying low/no passenger planes, and so on.

We require people get a license to own a firearm (or ostensibly should...). And AI can be an extremely powerful weapon.

I see a gatekeeping argument. I don't agree with their requirements. I'd rather see that regulation than banning models.

It also has the side effect of preventing AI from taking jobs as aggressively, keeping it at bay in schools, and getting people to maybe respect(?) / acknowledge the dangers involved here.

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.

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?

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.

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.

It's a really, really easy line to draw in the sand: don't support openly corrupt individuals.

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....

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.

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.

It costs billions to develop a drug (model) and pennies to produce the actual pill (tokens).

The government regulates the drug industry to give companies an exclusive period to recoup the costs before generics can jump in.

AI lacks that regulation which means frontiers are guaranteed to just bleed to death.

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.

Grow from there as needs arise.

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.
