They were talking from a product/company perspective where if Deno isn’t the default runtime that the LLM chooses for you, you tend to fall into obscurity.

That’s also probably why bun, supabase and netlify have been seeing so many new users, because (at least in my case and unless instructed otherwise), vibe coded projects had a tendency to push me in that direction.

The difference here I think is that the company (Anthropic, not OpenAI) was specifically selecting rare books for training (and subsequently destroying). I think the value proposition is a much different one in this case. In your example the books are still available in high enough amounts that replacing it is cheaper. If the book is rare enough to not have been digitized for training data yet (which is why Anthropic is interested in it), keeping that book around is much more important.

If Anthropic subsequently released the digitized version of it we’d be having a different discussion, but for obvious reasons they’re not.

It’s sluggish, it’s incredibly bloated with all the services that Docker (the company) wants to sell you and the UI is badly designed.

OrbStack is my go-to when it comes to running docker on Mac. It also uses macOS native containerization APIs so containers will be a bit more performant than they would (at least use to) be on Docker Desktop.

Another good approach if you’re fine without a GUI or want to bring your own is just ‚brew install docker‘.

I feel like people are focusing on the wrong thing here.

He starts off at 2027, where he’ll have a headband that can read his thoughts. That’s in 4-16 months. Correct me if I’m wrong, but last I checked we‘re quite far from being able to read people’s thought from a headband.

Do these clowns actually forget that part?

To be fair, that is a thing mostly done by the political elites and not an opinion that most citizens (that I’ve interacted with) hold. Most of us would much prefer all of the money that’s being put into weapons for Israel to be invested in our country instead.

Then again, there’s currently a big political shift to the right and the US/UK flavor of identity politics seems to have made its way over here, so that’s probably also not changing anytime soon.

I remember at the ad agency I used to work at (somewhere around 2018) we used to have a happy hour every Friday where from 5pm onwards all drinks (including booze) in the cafeteria were free, which led to people of all departments including C-Suite to get together and drink. I remember it as a good time though, I don’t remember anything ever happening that led to people having repercussions for employees. Then again, this is German drinking culture and the stiffest drink you could have was wine, so people wouldn’t usually get wasted, just tipsy.

The Christmas parties were a different breed though. HR definitely had a lot of work to do after those.

That’s because he is. None of these people are your friends and all of them will fuck you over if it means getting richer and more powerful.

At this point, why not just write the code yourself? Defining exactly what the product is supposed to do is the hard part, writing code is the easy part. Write your specs as code and you have your product - why let your LLM do the fun part?

One thing that I can’t seem to parse from the article is why the researchers assume that this is an unresearched part of ADHD and not a different disorder entirely. I’m sure they have their reasons, but I don’t think it’s written in the article.

To me it seems that if it’s not „treatable“ the same way ADHD is, I’m not sure if it’s useful to categorize it as such. On the other hand, I’m happy if kids with this disorder can get a diagnosis and treatment that actually helps them sometime in the future due to this research.

I would suppose it interrupts the page load after streaming the HTML and before loading and/or executing the cookie banner‘s javascript, meaning the content is there but the cookie banner will never open.

Per their own docs, D1 is primarily meant for things like Auth DBs that you have frequent read/write access to but that store limited amounts of data. If you need more storage, running Postgres somewhere else and querying via Hyperdrive is probably what you want to do instead.

Reading this back, I did entirely misinterpret your comment and may have acted on that a bit more emotionally than I would like to admit.

Thank you for clarifying and I wholeheartedly agree.

You sound exactly like the tens of doctors that misdiagnosed my aunt (who passed away through euthanasia after her symptoms got too bad to live with late last year).

I understand that the symptoms of ME/CFS might be similar to being obese/depressed or housebound, but the problem is that doctors often jump to that conclusion too quickly and don’t take efforts to diagnose ME/CFS leading to situations like my aunt’s. She was also obese and depressed and has been struggling with those symptoms for about 30 years and has constantly been misdiagnosed the entire time because doctors didn’t figure out that those were symptoms of ME/CFS and not two unrelated conditions coming from two different diagnoses.

Thanks to long-covid putting the symptoms of ME/CFS on the forefront lately, there’s finally been some much needed research into the disease and people like my aunt finally get the diagnosis they should have been getting many years ago.

My main question here is mostly why so many people still rely on axios for their fetch implementation. Native fetch has been a thing in the JavaScript world for so long, and the DX gains to using axios over it are miniscule. The only thing I can think of is axios instances, but you can easily write a tiny wrapper for fetch that would do the same.

This is a genuine question - if you still use axios, why exactly?
