not long ago my socials would have been full on days like today with comment on Apple. Perhaps the other places are, I don't go there. But here, nada.

@npub18p2…6j6h what if, and I’m just spitballing here, YC and accelerators more generally were zero interest rate phenomena?

there's denial going for sure, sure, just not of service.

my instinct is just as it took as nearly 15 years after the advent of CSS to work out a native design approach for the Web with Responsive Design, there's a whole new post responsive approach to design enabled by containers, (and flex and grid and other new CSS features) that we're barely seeing the first inkings of

Funny how the right which is all about personal responsibility is always blaming someone else for everything that’s wrong

At this stage if you are still actively engaged on twitter I am judging you. Sorry not sorry. Actually I've been judging you for months, but now all excuse are gone.

when I find someone writing something interesting my first instinct is to grab their RSS feed–look I might be a nerd, but that's how I keep across everything I can to do with web dev.
Sadly lots of sites don't have RSS. And I am sorry I am not going to follow you on Twitter (since I don't even go there)
And it takes a lot for me to signup for a newsletter.
So more RSS please folks!

will LLMs like Gemini Nano get smaller faster than SPAs get bigger? What's the crossover point? 1GB? 500MB?

multi page view transitions and speculative prefetching my have a transformative impact on how we architect web applications.
I'd certainly be investing some energy in understanding them

@npub1z9l…4trf thanks to a decision by Apple who made the decision.
Pesky elected governments and their decisions to regulate their societies. How dare they.

anyone using generative tools for coding seeing a pattern where these things are often overly clever, writing complex code much harder to reason about that tends to fall over? (yes I have theories as to why) GPT4 in this case

‘Paperclips’ was a metaphor for money right? Everyone gets that?

@npub1f6a…pnql something as simple as file extensions or types?

2024-05-10 22:44:29

I’ll take any New York Times story with a bucket of salt but if Apple’s product discovery is two senior executives ‘spend[ing] weeks testing OpenAI’s new chatbot, ChatGPT’ then ot’s pretty clear how they ended up with the sort of products they have the last few years.
I mean autocorrect is still a fucking shit show after nearly two decades...

normalise "huh, you know I was wrong about a thing". Liberating for yourself, transformative for society.

"PWA advocates treat it as axiomatic that web apps should be peers to native apps, but that’s not true for everyone. I think of native apps as software I carefully consider before installing, even from the App Store. I think of websites and web apps as software I will visit/run without consideration, because they’re so comparatively restricted"
Awesome for you Grubemeister, you do you, but maybe not everyone feels like this-like the aforementioned PWA Advocates who are you know like advocating
