    There are many use cases where having a value stream is very useful. I do agree having a separate simpler byte only stream would make sense though. I think the current capabilities…

    React is slower than the alternatives, but next.js is really really slow.

    I don't like AI writing because it's bad writing. It's convoluted and inefficient and doesn't get to the point. If someone writes something that feels like AI, it doesn't matter if…

    If someone uses AI to help them write, and they reviewed it, and it's high quality writing, I don't care how much they wrote by hand. But, if I can tell it was written by AI that's…

    It used to be better? I use android daily and was given an iPhone for work, and using it is incredibly painful because of the keyboard. I was wondering how people have been putting…

    If my devs are writing that much code they're doing something wrong. Lines of code is an anti metric. That used to be commonly accepted knowledge.

    Very good questions! I still need to flesh out the patterns. While streams of streams are common in functional programming environments, I simply haven't seen them in class based s…

    Show HN: Higher-order transform streams: 10x faster AI with recursive prompts

    Using stream delegation you can have AI agents producing tokens in parallel with sequential consumption without blocking output. This lets you break down monolithic prompts into re…

    I describe it as a word granularity search engine. Lossy encyclopedia is a great analogy too and fleshes it out.

    They cited the demo of a port having performance issues several months before release. That seems like a complete non story to me. It's brand new hardware and nobody has experience…

    I think there is a need for the AI counseling use case, but it should not be provided by a general purpose AI assistant. It should be designed by professional psychologists and the…

    Apple has vertical integration between their hardware and operating system meaning they have way more control. They can adapt their software to enable them to optimize their hardwa…

    For the Linear example, I would argue that adding too much flexibility would make the tool worse. Rigid workflows are consistent making them more robust and scalable. They work con…

    The call was being relayed to the pilot by the flight supervisor. While he wasn't "on" the call, I think it's fair to say he was "part" of the call. He's still getting live tech su…

    Comment #45044870

    I think there's just some nuance to the scenario. The pilot wasn't directly on the call, but was participating in the call with the flight supervisor relaying the information. I'd …

    I use AI 90% for research, learning, and prototyping. It's increased my interest because before, I felt that I didn't have time to do all those things, now I can expand my knowledg…

    Working on the same thing :) Glad to see more people working on this too! https://www.timetler.com/2025/08/19/unlocking-rich-ui-compon...

    The value of generating framework components is that you can integrate the rendering with those frameworks. I've been working on a library to do exactly with a custom MDX pipeline:…

    I've been working on a similar project using MDX as the parser to enable runtime static JSX tags in markdown: https://www.timetler.com/2025/08/19/unlocking-rich-ui-compon... I'm cu…

    No and yes. MDX parses JSX so it's compatible with any JSX runtime, not just react. You're right that MDX executes arbitrary code because it supports the `import` and string interp…

    Comment #45029213

    MDX does needs to be done at compile time because MDX contains unsafe evals in its syntax via imports and string interpolation. I created a library for runtime MDX because of that:…

    The components are standard react components so once it is rendered they can set their own state and effects and load in their own data. I hope I understood your question correctly…

    Author here. I'd love to see it! I settled on this approach after not finding any other ways to do it, but it's definitely not the only way. I'd like to see what other approaches p…

    Friendlier doesn't necessarily mean gassing you up. This is a very narrow interpretation of the complaints.

    I think the framing of these models are being "intelligent" is not the right way to go. They've gotten better at recall and association. They can recall prior reasoning from text t…
