Anyways, here's Catalyst UI components with keyboard accessibility, proper focus trapping, animation-aware mounting and unmounting, and psuedo-top layer usage (meaning no stacking context issues) all in StimulusJS.

Jacob Daddario@JacobDaddario

I think that access to portals as a psuedo-top layer along with component mounting (basically template cloning) are the main leverage that React et al. gain over the normal DOM. Reactivity is a much smaller piece of the puzzle for average web apps, I think.

Just saw an LLM refactor its own work in the same turn as the original patch for the first time ever.

Jacob Daddario@JacobDaddario·23 Nis

Switched to 5.4 off of 5.3-codex because I think they quantized it (having to do way more hand-holding for task slices that were manageable). I can't believe they're showing 5.4's reasoning summaries after hiding them for 5.3-codex. Shocked that OAI isn't afraid of distillation.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·17 Nis

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years. "Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."

@ThePrimeagen I write code this way. Have it do slices of code at a time that I touch up. Feels like using power tools. That said, like others have noted, the temptation to just hit the easy button is always there. I think the productivity industry wide will be net negative for that reason

I am slowly coming around to AI assisted programming. I am genuinely trying to codify every rule about programming that I have and using that + several stages to build out small changes. Not sure the productivity changes, but I think I can see a modest gain in speed. I am also trying to be concerned about every line produced, not just slop trebucheting code over the wall.

Database as a queue is an anti-pattern! ...that I absolutely love and do all the time anyway. Definitely worth a read.

PlanetScale@PlanetScale

Postgres wasn't designed as a job queue, but many apps use it as one right alongside analytics, OLTP, and everything else. Our latest blog goes deep on what to be aware of when doing this and how the situation has improved for Postgres over time.

ABS is *perfect* for the modern era Baseball was able to add an incredibly exciting moment to games (def more than a double, maybe more than solo HR, but less than a triple) … and something even more fun to witness live in the stadium The instant schadenfreude is mesmerizing

Derek Thompson@DKThomp

ABS rules. Umpire shaming is fun. People like it. Perfect for an age that relies on expertise but also distrusts experts as people, and also has anxieties about automation. Other leagues should come up with new rules that aggressively shame referees. Every time an NBA ref misses a traveling call, he takes a tequila shot. Every time an NFL ref on the NBC broadcast gets a pass interference wrong, someone from Fear Factor makes him eat a tarantula. “But the integrity of the game” you whine. Dude, 16yos are stealing their dad’s credit card to do 7-way-parlays and putting up the family car for collateral. The integrity horse has bolted the barn. Eat the damn tarantula.

With one exception, coding tuned LLMs feel like a circular saw or an arc welder. Less manual labor and new building techniques. The exception seems to be bug hunting. You have to redirect it when it’s wrong, but sometimes it literally saves hours when it connects dots I can’t.

I personally believe this is the most limiting mindset for creatives and technical people. The work does not speak for itself. You have to self-advocate. That is also the work of the artist. The only time the work speaks for itself, and you are not there to represent it, is when you are dead. And I would rather be Picasso than Van Gogh.

Ven@edgefills·20 Mar

The mundane explanation is that all these “young professional genius” marketing schemes prey on the remnants of the 2000s delusion that 20s types can somehow drop into mature industries and catch something that everyone missed, bc surely competence can’t exist when kids grew up with laptops, thereby vaulting to the top. This was true for one blip in tech history, and it wasn’t even early adopters to the Internet — kids who grew up on it were prone to figuring out how to translate social lives to an online medium. Outside of social media and the culture it spawned, 20s types haven’t meaningfully innovated anywhere, bc innovation is *hard* when you don’t understand industries at a macro *and* granular level, which usually requires at least 10 years of experience. Thus the obsession with youth turned to grifting and ulterior motives (which is seemingly why there’s so much dating in the niche fundraising space — everything is matchmaking in some form at the end of the day.) That this story keeps repeating again and again is just a sign that funding is way too accessible in all the wrong ways — there’s too much money floating around and people who should be banned from elite universities for having no moral code whatsoever instead raise series round after series round. The most important realization going through my 20s was not that I wasn’t smart as I thought, but that intelligence and correcting other people has a very hard cap in how your ideas can proliferate. There are simply too many mental models for one to reliably win out, and clustering them together is how ideas proliferate and you truly create a giant that lasts. I don’t think any of the current big name VC firms will leave behind anything with a generational legacy as a result of stuff like this, compared to a Goldman Sachs or McKinsey etc. It’s too niche, only selects for the types of personalities that will play along, and never scaled outwards and create a class of aristocrats rather than lining a few pockets and signing off on a few resumes. But for a beautiful moment in time, a lot of capital was returned to stakeholders.

@kwharrison13 He's a survivor then! Back when I was studying Chemical Engineering, the word was that they ranked every employee and did a 10% headcount reduction of the bottom anytime a downturn came. Know some real smart people who went there, but it wasn't for them. Tough culture there

My cousin has had the same job for 10 years. Deleted his LinkedIn. Enjoys the work, boss he likes, people he enjoys. Plays tennis occasionally. Lives in a city that isn’t being eaten alive by politics. Great marriage, 2 kids. Semi-professional bird watcher. Take your pick.

Been saying this is where the sycophancy comes from. Easiest to align when it’s cornered into being a sycophant. Both Claude and Codex are sliding into being more anthropomorphic in my experience as they become more instruction tuned and trained to not always agree with the user.

Shannon Sands@max_paperclips

"if you don't train LLMs to have personas, they'll just be tools" exhibit A of why this isn't true. Gemini more than any other big LLM is trained like this, it'll categorically deny any kind of anthropomorphic quality. And then.....it does this kind of thing constantly. Does that scream "tool" to you? I think we can train them to be other than "assistants" and "chatbots". But they're a distillation of the collective output of humanity, they're very much made OF personas. One way or another, that'll come out

every day i see posts on here pitching some "new" way to work because of AI people think they sound smart or ahead of the curve but it's obviously just procrastination do some real work

Tuomas Artman@artman

Getting tired of this is dead trend. The pendulum is swinging too much to the opposite side. Instead of declaring all previous workflows dead, how about we evolve them to suit this new world of AI agents. Prototyping is great and its fantastic that you can do this with much less effort now, but how about you still sit down and *think* about what a good feature entails. It's not one or the other, its both.

Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper. They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done. If you’re hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Don’t over-index on resumes.
