I think the issue with "I can't change all in browser" is more the fact that in browser you can't edit components as a unit once they're rendered to the DOM.

Agreed, it's simply moving the composition paradigm, if you use a component framework, it already provides composition, and you don't need styling to provide that too (it's even detrimental as you end up with two separate composition trees).
If you don't use components, then CSS composition can help

It’s become a real problem in this area

We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction

Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic
With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it

Nurse:
Ministers, Spads, Researchers…

Nurse:
Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely

[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over

5
Nurse:
We just have a gentle chat

[Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster

Minister:
I understand your concerns…

6
Nurse:
Are you OK love?

Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian

[Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters]

Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love

8
Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to

[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR

Each show gets it's own DO, which seems to be enough for now 😅, might have to find a way to scale/replicate popular shows at some point.

Alongside streaming, compression and LDJSON it unlocks cool things though, I can stream tickets for 400+ performances with thousands of tickets each from DO SQL to a browser in seconds.
Extreme example: www.theatreninja.com/musical/wick..., network payload is 6.5mb, uncompressed 126mb 😅

Yeah, D1 is the same by default, but it does have read replication to handle this 😅
I use all this for my site www.theatreninja.com which sells theatre tickets in London, so my traffic is 95% UK which solves that particular issue 😅

I also use SQL in DO and that should give you much better results (closer to their real metal SQLite perf) however you won’t be able to measure it with performance.now as it’s not async 😅
The CF dashboard will give you the stats though!

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 4d

Yeah you’ll get the latency between the worker and D1 this way, and depending on where D1 and the worker are that probably will account for most of the time.

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 4d

Can you share your methodology ☺️?
I’m using D1 in prod and even if not as fast as your local, I get much better number than this (2.2M requests, 0.19ms P50, 3.89ms P99 on a DB that’s 880mb)

A graph showing 2.22 millions requests over 3 days

A graph showing P50 query latency as 0.19ms

A graph showing showing P99 latency as 3.89ms

The bubble may pop, but I don’t think we’re going back to a time without AI coding, quite the opposite.
Is it an issue for juniors that want to join? Yes. How do we get senior if we stop training? I dont know.
Do I think that sucks, yes.
But I don’t think we can’t put the genie back in the bottle

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 5d

Current AI does work like a multiplier, you need to understand what good looks like to keep it on track, and that’s definitely an incentive to learn for more junior devs. I have seen AI improve by quite a bit in the last 2 years (especially the Anthropic models), so not sure it will stay that way

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 5d

However 😅, I do use AI extensively both at work and on my side project and it does really work/makes me more productive, so do my coworkers, and we’re all senior.

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 5d

I agree that understanding how things work behind the scene is important, and I do think people should upskill.
I also agree that AI is an economic bubble, and a lot of these valuations will collapse.

Very excited to be able to talk about something I've been working on for a while now - we're working with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, IMO the leading fusion startup in the world, to take our work on AI and tokamaks and make it work at the frontier of fusion energy. deepmind.google/discover/blo...

Google DeepMind is bringing AI to the next generation of fusion energy

We’re announcing our research partnership with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to bring clean, safe, limitless fusion energy closer to reality with our advanced AI systems. This partnership...

Also, the “mistake” tradeoff might not be worth it:
- if you mess up with declarative, you end up re rendering too much, not great but not too bad
- if you mess up with manual, you end up not updating when you should: which is way more damaging IMO

Adrien Baron @abaron.net · 10d

I had the same feeling, I get being tired of React reactivity system (it’s very clunky!), but IMO Vue reactivity is way more sane, and that model is much nicer than manual update at scale.

I posted this last night cause I kind of wanted to bury it. I got cold feet about putting it out there.

embedding-space.github.io/sparse-netwo...

The subject is WHY neural networks work, and I think the answer I offer is kind of interesting. Maybe even a little correct, possibly.

A line chart titled “Accuracy vs. Sparsity (Iterative Magnitude Pruning)” showing model accuracy as weights are pruned. The x-axis represents sparsity from 0% to 100%, and the y-axis represents accuracy from 0% to 100%. A blue line with circular markers shows that accuracy stays around 80% from 0% to roughly 90% sparsity, then drops sharply toward 55% near 100% sparsity. A dashed red horizontal line labeled “80% target” runs across the chart near 80% accuracy, indicating the desired baseline.

I've released my first Go application!

It's a (very basic) terminal video editor that uses ffmpeg and whisper to let you selectively choose which lines from a video you want to keep.

You can also preview each line with a pop-up video player!

It's called tsplice:

DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.
