Michigan TypeScript

today is the day tsgo becomes ts devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/ann…

@parkthomp hahahaha

@jquave @niieani well according to people on hacker news and some of the comments here... some of them have

@niieani @MiTypeScript Seems unlikely though. If encoding images of text is more efficient than text tokenization, you'd think frontier labs would have been doing that for a long time.

~60% Fable cost cut by transparently turning the code into an image and having the model OCR it. WILD idea. also hilarious. github.com/teamchong/pxpi…

@degtrdg what happened to syntax highlighting??

I wonder if syntax highlighting is going to have a comeback if the models start reading code like we used to back in the day

@EthosVentures seangoedecke.com/text-tokens-as… more here, including a link to the white paper

@MiTypeScript Which paper? Either the quality of the context from the ocr is lower, or the context is the same quality and therefore images are mispriced, no?

@EthosVentures read the DeepSeek paper. it's more than a pricing hack, as bizarre as that may be

@MiTypeScript Lol that makes no sense and just means images are mispriced and will soon increase unfortunately

@dtdev_x maybe @sjgoedecke can tell us? seangoedecke.com/text-tokens-as… was something that came up trying to understand why this works

@MiTypeScript How does that even make sense

@phillpafford lol, for now. depends if it's cheaper because it's more efficient or cheaper because gaming the pricing model. if the latter.. probably a ToS endgame in sight.

@MiTypeScript Wow, that is very interesting. Does it actually work?

the real pattern matching has been stalled for years github.com/tc39/proposal-… .. for now we'll just thank @GabrielVergnaud so for github.com/gvergnaud/ts-p…

we got pattern matching in JavaScript (well.. Flow) before gta6 medium.com/flow-type/java…

@Cloudflare do @tan_stack next plz

VoidZero, the team behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+, is joining Cloudflare. Vite stays open source, vendor-agnostic, and built for everyone. cfl.re/3Q1XYSX

🤯 sha256, purely in TypeScript types by @monty10x github.com/montyanderson/…

@did0f @Cloudflare pleasefixyourspinner.com

Let's share cool domains. I start with @Cloudflare.

a few of us at MiTS were talking about this in the context of another company's recent entertaining video with apparently not so accurate database benchmarks and it came up that Deno's had similar levels of fun but apparently without the data integrity issue

what did people think? here's one youtu.be/u1ppsGMUUuo (but also the recent fireship-style release updates)

what the hell is going on with @deno_land. did you notice? the level-up on their videos lately has been pretty incredible. super fun while still very educational. it's so so hard to make a 45-minute technical launch video so enjoyable.. yet here we are...

@llmxlabs it's a native app - Tauri!

@MiTypeScript Web browser screaming - looks sick tho!

⚔️introducing TypeSlayer⚔️ A #typescript type performance benchmarking and analysis tool. A summation of everything learned from the benchmarking required to make the Doom project happen. It's got MCP support, Perfetto, Speedscope, Treemap, duplicate package detection, and more.

@theophorus7 all open source on github

@MiTypeScript could i have the code too...?

@mrdevelopersir haha you're not wrong. the headache of _not_ having a tool like this when you hit a perf wall is probably the only other thing that's worse

Wow, this looks very cool, but it gives me a headache even thinking about using it for anything.
