what is surprising about it? The way porting works has alway been first doing a faithful pass before going back to address impedance mismatches case by case. You would do that even when porting things manually, let alone in a super risky completely automated bulk migration.

No one said his post was high effort/quality but please reply again and with your amazing language skills twist my words to double down on petty points like that.

The corect term is being a tech influencer and even if you say it with a bad connotation it's completely different than spamming which is low/no effort posting and most of the times selling something.

If having a job makes you unable to use basic English, then it's time to take a break like he does maybe.

Grok 4.5 13 days ago

this was a year ago (which is a long time in llm timeline), when they've just launched Grok, which I acknowledge in my comment. There is any evidence or investigation of it happening today?

okay with CSAM

based on what? I tried and it could not even generate adult nudity. Earlier Grok Image was poorly censored but now they have their filters in place.

Grok 4.5 14 days ago

from my experience, grok seems to be the least censored models among all big vendors, not sure if it's got injected any political bias (I know there was a rumor that it was primed with Elon's personal feed at one point in the past) but that alone makes it better than ChatGPT and Gemini.

On top of the model, Grok seems to always do many web searches for every prompt I throw at it, which makes better than even Gemini as a search engine replacement (you'd think Google must have nailed that usecase but nope). ChatGPT is too lazy in this regard and half the times just split out an answer right away.

static, explicit typing

the kind of types that helps you reason and read the code. As opposed to the type you mostly don't have to think about anyway, which is complete missing the point.

Road to Elm 1.0 16 days ago

I've just stated working around that time when the cult was active. And I think that is the correct term for it because other languages that have been praised to the same level (ruby, rust, haskell) actually have things to show for and not just simplistic functional programming

My company has an AI leaderboard and ONE ranking to be this, AND OTHER rankings like efficiency (loc merged per token). No one is so stupid that they think any single one of this is to be optimized (gamed) for.

Tech journalists have low opinion of people with actual skills who actually contribute to society, and when their opinions get posted here, it's often selectively echoed by people looking for a reason to feel smarter than the industry.

sorry both of the things you said are false, why are they stated so confidently?

vanila javascript would not be far off, just replace the tags with function calls. In early versions of react, there were people who wrote code like that. For some reason web devs since collectively agreed that the xml syntax is essential to web technologies

I think mostly people like to have logical component with all the code in one place and not have to think about structuring css/html/js separately. Many people like react for jsx (surprisingly, because initially there was a lot of push back even in early react adoption).

Then they took it to the next level with things like styled-component. Virtual DOM is just an implementation detail and overrated to the success of React.

Any future web framework that solves that component thing and allow people to just write code instead of "web code", they'll win.

(I am aware that the web veterans don't like that view)

they still need to file for permanent residency and you can still reject them.

If the laws need to "wipe away that compromise", better just disqualify them from filing in the first place.

It makes no sense to deport some of the people that you're going to give permanent residency to, while you're giving permanent residency to them.

not just de facto standard and not just in the US, it's a logical way to intepret the laws, in many western countries. The laws should streamline and welcome people who have already established connection and contributed to the success of America. It makes no sense for people to have to leave the country to apply for permanent resident, and be treated like all those to-be immigrants who have never lived in America.

Isn't kotlin a more modern choice coming from java, that's designed propperly instead a series of bolted on decisions?

Deno 2.8 2 months ago

"basic permission model" used to be the only thing Deno had going for, and the keyword is "basic". They pivot pretty late to become a drop-in replacement for nodejs (using the term drop-in loosely here).

Bun has a pragmatic approach from the beginning for being a all-in-one toolset (not just a runtime) and node's replacement. They also has gradual adoption paths such as using bun only as package manager and/or test runner.
