I’ve found that sub attracts a very wide range of devs who all think their technology is the best, and that drives a lot of hate for web technologies because a lot of mindsets are stuck in the 90s and 00s. It really is quite backwards around there

Thing is I haven’t found much of an AI community to absorb myself in over here which is why I’ve been back there in recent months, but it feels like it’s impossible to get any reach for my own content there now

I’m beginning to think that everyone who posted 🦋 on X/twitter and wasn’t a HUGE account got deranked the same way that @danabra.mov did (twice I think?)

Even paying them money I’m lucky if my posts get 50 views even with promoting the post privately to friends for likes and stuff.

LLMs do know what they're going to say The following is written to be as penetrable as possible for a semi-technical audience, and includes...

I hear a lot of folk repeating this idea that LLMs don't know what they're going to say until they've said it, and knowing a little about their workings I wrote up a post about this misconception. LLMs do know what they're going to say!

The updated UI framework does feel like the biggest step taken in a few years. Liquid glass isn’t even the most interesting part of iOS 26

back in my day vibe coding was just asking your smart friends what to do and acting dumb when they try to explain

never seen someone take over my keyboard and type so fast

Depending on country there will likely be salary benefits to having a degree or masters. I went straight to masters as a self taught dev (with career experience and unrelated Bachelors) because the UK’s R&D tax rebate made me less valuable without it.

Formal qualifications can break glass ceilings

Similar applies to any ML, patterns will be detected during training and form a huge number of smaller highly abstract functions which combine to produce something more concrete

How to visualize filters after the 1st layer trained by CNNs? The filters at the 1st stage of the CNN can be easily visualized since they are of depth 3 (RGB). How do I visualize the later ones ? Like in http://cs231n.stanford.edu/slides/winter1516_lecture7.p...

One of the best intuitions you can look at is visualisations of how Convolutional Neural Nets build up their abstractions, there’s an image here: stackoverflow.com/questions/38...

Combined with an understanding of the layering of maths it’s pretty powerful to see this IMO

It’s notable to me that cognition is talking about MAs which mutate a global system, while anthropic is talking about MAs which query a global system.

The former is obviously harder because the outcome is more cross-dependent and so requires constant cross-talk to produce a consistent result

And all of this leads to BSky feeling less sticky or worth opening. To compete with X they need to get really good with social algorithms and that hasn’t started to materialise yet

It also hurts smaller accounts, a good post should be able to go viral but only big accounts can do that right now

I really installed this with an open mind, but colour on buttons is important and there is no way glass controls should be inheriting the colour from behind. It’s a gorgeous control, but colour is not up for grabs for arbitrary use if you like UX

Fair enough! I’m happy to leave a suggestion to that effect then ☺️

Looks really good, I suppose since it's a new function the key can be required out the box and start to dissuade from footguns. Then TQ@6 could make that property required everywhere?

Yep, I _think_ it would work well. Should be a pretty easy union type to test out anyway

So long as the type adapts to whether a mutationKey was set I don’t see a need for enforcing it when it used to be optional.

Libraries like tRPC can ensure one is always set and user-land code gets mutationKey:undefined until it’s set so are protected from misuse

useEffect is the root of all evil and should be avoided

react or dev tools should provide a mode to log all the effects which fire named by component/hook, it would massively shorten debugging journeys

I think that’s just the typical lifecycle of a Haskell system in a business, I’ve heard it more than once

* one developer in a team gets really FP-pilled
* rest of team spends future years scared of system
* system is rewritten

Love the idea of just having a JSON framework around this concept, but it also really changed the way I think about RSCs in about 2 minutes

Great post!

Homebrew is the worst package manager out there. The way they handle the universe is very poor for both performance and compatibility.

Was trying to avoid upgrading our MacOS and Xcode to latest for a few weeks some years back, and homebrew pushed a bunch of changes that broke Xcode… why
