Will you look at it. Another Wordpress “killer”. Wordpress has that market share because it can be easily installed in a wide variety of servers and because of its plugin ecosystem of dozens of thousands of plugins and huge flexibility/customizability. Wordpress is one of the most flexible pieces of software out there and none of the competition seem to get why Wordpress is so popular.

> Are they doubling down on local LLMs then?

I love the push to local llms. But it’s hilarious how apple a few years ago was so reluctant to even mention “AI” in its keynotes and fast forward a couple years they’ve fully embraced it. I mean I like that they embraced it rather than be “different” (stubborn) and stay behind the tech industry. It’s the smart choice. I just think it’s funny.

> Your last statement is false. A shady merchant never gets to keep the stolen money.

Or any merchant for that matter. Chargebacks (from bad actors) are one of the most annoying things when you sell online when you’re a honest legit business. Stripe even charges you a penalty fee on top of that.

I said exactly this a few days ago elsewhere. It’s disappointing that they (and often other American companies) seem to restrict their “respect” and morals to Americans only. Or maybe it’s just semantics or context because the topic at hand is about americans? I don’t know but it gives “my people are more important than your people”, exactly as you said in your last paragraph

> there could be a point where we can use them to just make arbitrary UIs and interactive media with raw SVGs

So render ui elements using xml-like code in a web browser? You’re not going to believe me when I tell you this…

Omg yes finally someone acknowledges this. I am always pointing out how react and jsx are a port of XHP. This is why react was class based at first (because php is a class based OO language).

Hack was created later though. XHP was a php 5 extension created around 2008

Under that definition any css class is a shorthand for inline styles

Thanks for proving the point. I haven’t even seen that element rendered and I already have a good mental picture of what it is and what it looks like.

Because button is literally anything clickable. Not everything is a boxed button. You cannot just globally add a style to <buttton> and call it a day. For example, an upvote (^) button, a close (x) button, etc. A lot of clickable elements aren’t inside a [click me] box

And thank god (or Adam) for that. Tailwind makes me much more productive.

Correct. Every char outside of a php tag is treated as output, like in a templating engine. So if you start with spaces in a non template file (class definition etc) the spaces will be sent as output which messes up the http response.

Id love to have a dedicated file extension for source files only, like .p or something that disables the php tags because in this day and age the vast majority of php files aren’t templates

Speaking of php slack was built with php until they followed Facebook with Hack (which is essentially a modern flavor of php)

Really? That’s actually a very narrow view to think that AIs need to rely on code examples of some third party forum.

AIs will be good enough to understand the docs and source code alone, just like the human answering a stackoverflow question.

> the docs don't cut it

Yet. By the time stackoverlow shuts down, AIs will be powerful enough to take data from docs or just from the source code alone. I mean the new version of opus is pretty good at understanding my front end source code. I think that should be the goal of AIs (that they are so advanced they don’t need to read code examples from a third party website like stackoverflow)

How many of those are actual active users though? I created my account when chatgpt 3.5 was launched because it was a novelty but haven’t used it in a long time. I use Claude and Gemini but I’m somehow counted in that 1 billion figure
