There's something I remember said by one of Kotlin's creator along these lines: Java sucks, but the JVM is a great platform to target.

> Something big

Probably AI spend and increased developer cost (salary + AI subscription cost). And the increase in memory prices means procuring IT assets has sky-rocketed too.

I would assume the margins they operated on, evaporated with the AI bubble.

That helps, thanks.

Thanks. How reliable is the world knowledge? Say, I use it as a delegation router for picking the best model for a task - how can I be confident it's doing that with enough intelligence?

When I use traditional LLMs I get some sense from the flagship-ness and regular usage. How do we get such confidence for Jev like models?

Can someone ELI5 me why Jev class models matter?

Note: Not the technical side, but as an end user of LLM APIs.

This is great. Curious: this requires users to have a host app installed on their machine that can read .capsule file right? Won't that be a point of friction for distribution?

Isn't html/css a better distribution mechanism as most computers already have the tech to run them?

I'm in the middle of my home construction. Any list of RAM/NAND involved electronics that I should be buying sooner than later?

Obviously I need an SSD setup for security cams feed recordings. Just wondering are there any such things to buy sooner?

I'm part of the Zoho Writer team (Google docs alternative). And the new architecture is very similar to Zoho Writer i.e edits represented as a sequence of retains/keeps followed by action.

Also the decision to forego browser's selection and draw a custom layer.

All this makes reasoning about changes a lot more saner and intuitive. I've always wondered why prosemirror's transactions & steps couldn't be simplified further so I'm one vote up for the new design direction!

The person who got inspired by prosemirror and built lexical is no more at meta. Go to the repository and you'll find it's already in maintenance mode. Its promise of cross platform extensible editor is unrealised yet.

I'd pick prosemirror any day over Lexical.

This is amusing as well as slightly scary. Prosemirror over the years has become the backbone of editors on the web. ChatGPT uses it. Gemini uses it. Linked chat and feed composers are Prosemirror powered. Literally every serious product uses Prosemirror for composing text on the web.

There is an entire YC company built on top of Prosemirror (Tiptap).

The thought that Prosemirror is no more in active development is scary.

Takes me back to the time where I would pickup any books that taught anything about computers/programming. I was too young to understand any of it, but the fact that there's this knowledge to be unlocked, that would then let me do new things with this white boxy device on my table top - was truly addictive.

I can't say the feeling remains because most new stuff that I learn now is not runnable on my machine now. Tech has gone back to the days when owning hardware that's capable of running the latest has become a costly affair.

Just checked out VMPrint and it's crazy! Keep up the efforts. If you/someone could get a HTML/CSS input layer in front of VMPrint that would be a killer feature? Or is it possible already?

If you squint enough, you'll see the official Google doc app for Android/iOS is a webview (i.e the editor part)

Fancy text rendering/editing is hard to implement when you leave the luxury of webviews.

Got it. Thanks!
