I’m fine with datacenters being built as long as we have some rules: they have to be quiet enough to not be audible beyond the border of the land owned by the datacenter. They have…

I found this to be my favorite approach[0]. Also, Lan Lam’s stuff is just generally excellent. And yes, super easy to make with almost no skill. [0] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u…

My predictions about everything ever, summarized perfectly. I need an “inverse me ETF”.

Yeah. I thought it sounded like OpenAI more than Claude, though maybe they’ve converged. It’s been a while since I used Claude.

Same. I think it’s just a link, and its content took a while to load. Looks like it’s the docs site vs the marketing page.

Foot is instant. Ghostty takes ages. I don’t know why there’s such a difference, but I can’t use anything slower than Foot now without getting annoyed.

This just made me think: if Anthropic or OpenAI wanted to get some good will, and burn a bunch more investor funding, they'd provide security audits for the most popular N AUR pack…

Buffett and Munger, maybe.

Wow. This is absolutely wild. I didn't expect that. If we get to anywhere near this speed for the equivalent of the current models... I don't even know what to think about that fut…

Buttons already have actions and methods and many other useful things: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... I don’t see how this proposal is any differen…

Reads like GPT. But, it was still interesting to me. I hadn’t heard of Swiss tables before. The article links to the primary sources, to those who want to avoid reading LLM output:…

An MPA can make as many queries/service requests as it needs to to render the result. Most— the vast majority of SPAs I’ve ever written, maintained, or used— do that from the clien…

I haven’t used it with htmx, but DOM morphing seems like it’s probably a good solution to this. https://v1.htmx.org/extensions/morphdom-swap/

I’ve been working on a similar idea, but focusing on MPA and progressive enhancement. Building MPAs on Bun using Preact as the backend templating engine and focusing on a low-depen…

One of my favorite talks.

No. Fast builds are a must for a project like this, in my opinion. This is an important step towards making the project easier to maintain.

It's less than I'd expect, given how Bun was developed. I'm sure there's plenty more of that to be had in that codebase.

With Bun, I have a single dependency which gives me: bundling, runtime, package management, test runner, SQLite, Postgres connectivity, S3 utilities, sane APIs (compare Bun.serve t…

Bun, but managed by someone who values code quality? Sign me up. It’s a Herculean task, though.

Nice. How fast is your home internet connection? I’ve thought about putting an old laptop to this use. But I don’t want my day to day internet to suffer if my site gets traffic spi…

Can’t do RLS without a transaction, though, right?

Because, as you said, this is no longer news. Deepseek was the news. This is just the predictable progress playing out.

It found a zero-day. If someone non-maliciously breached my systems, I’d be grateful for the free security research.

Hm. Sounds a lot like interviewing for a software engineering position.

Well, to play AI advocate, if it wasn’t destructive, you could argue they did huggingface a favor by giving them a free vulnerability scan and improving their security / hardening.…
