@thorstenball Not just markdown files, but entire businesses/startups will be eaten

Is there an HTML design tool that outputs regular ol' HTML and CSS?
Both @stitchbygoogle and @figma output HTML with Tailwind classes, but I'm looking for something that gives me just the HTML + CSS primitives.

@tannerlinsley @jamonholmgren Effect Workflows + agent cli like Pi

Looking for the most reliable way to run agents in some kind of continuous/ralph loop mode, preferably overnight (@jamonholmgren). I'm use both Codex and Claude and am a sucker for OpenCode.
What do I use?

Does an LLM understand anything? What does that even mean?

I read the methodology. The scores are generated by.........asking Gemini flash to make one up?!?
Am I missing something? I really like karpathy but this doesn't seem useful at all

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs! he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap. if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked. average score across all jobs is 5.3/10. software devs: 8-9. roofers: 0-1. medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀 karpathy.ai/jobs

@devagrawal09 I showed this to AI and apparently I'm describing datomic lol

@devagrawal09 You're probably right imo. I went through a similar journey. And what put me off of event sourcing was actually Solid. The causality, and state updates are preserved in the topology of the graph. It's genius. Event sourcing is Elm. I'm ready for the SolidJS like evolution for dbs
English

The funniest part is I have been pro-event sourcing the past couple or so years
And as more of the industry is catching on, I am feeling ever more bearish on the approach and circling back to "just use tables"
I went through a similar trajectory from preferring NoSQL to concluding "meh SQL is fine" like 4 years ago
Idk feels like event sourcing is a lot of hassle, and I have to eventually use a SQL-like database anyways for running complex queries, maybe it's better to start there and add history tables as needed

All the cool kids are event sourcing these days Wild

@joodalooped @devagrawal09 The diff in topology IS the event. A perfect description (if encoded correctly) No need for manual materialization.
English

@joodalooped @devagrawal09 That's the whole point, and why it's so powerful! The power comes from the topological diffs/changes
English

@joodalooped @devagrawal09 For it to work, I'm assuming affine values+projections. That would preserve history. Idk. It needs to be fleshed out.
English

@RelevantElement @devagrawal09 yeah i mean i'm assuming you have duplicates across the graph too right
English

@joodalooped @devagrawal09 Events can still be useful as a bridge in/out of the graph. See useEffectEvent
English

@joodalooped @devagrawal09 You don't need events. Just the diffs of the graph. It can happen automatically. As long as everything is properly encoded within it.
