Tao can use LLMs on his own terms, on his conditions. Under those circumstances, it's an absolutely fantastic tool. In an enterprise, everyone gets to use LLMs. Everyone can create slop. In an enterprise environment,…

No nagware but, at least on the machines of my colleagues, an even worse enemy: Microsoft Defender with all the checkboxes ticked. Grinds the machine to an absolute halt for any development work - sometimes the…
As an avid gamer myself, I fully agree with your point. I guess in this thread there are a lot of people who, due to them being in tech, have a bit of a relationship with games but it's not really a big hobby. And as it…
They absolutely earn it though. Steam just works. Heck, I've not bought games because they were not on Steam or required another launcher. Ubisoft and Rockstar are so bad that I held off on buying some games I really…
One of those "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."-moments. Time to rewatch "Vice"; Bale is incredible.

I'm one of those apparently super rare weirdos who just shut down any computer over night. Takes me just a tiny wee bit longer the next day to get started, but given all the issues my work colleagues have with battery…

Many thanks for your work! Definitely looking forward to the upgrade - especially the performance-boosts with regards to tsc will be very welcome in our relatively large code-base, and the changes to discriminated…
I use Duolingo to learn French, for a few years already. It definitely can bring you up to A1/A2-levels of proficiency (at least for French), which is definitely a solid starting point to engage with the language…
RIP. He was a likable guy with the heart in the right place, always struck me as deeply humble. The world would be better off if many a leader these days, religious or otherwise, would be a bit more like him.

I'm definitely by no means capable of giving proper advise here as it's been a long time since I've last interacted with kids of that age. But one anecdote: When I was in the early teens (so quite a bit older than the…

Unlike other corporations, they actually didn't really do all that much to make it a monopoly though. It's kind of an organic monopoly simply by being better than everything else, by a wide margin. There's not much…
Steam really is a blessing for gaming. It just works. The absolute trash that especially ubisoft tries to push on its users made me hold off on buying some of their games. It's just that bad.

As enthusiastic as I am about node's typescript-support, calling it "just works" is a bit of a stretch. Not entirely sure if it's still the case anymore on the latest versions but last I checked it was required to use…
What exactly are you referring to? Specifically typescript has zero dependencies. Generally speaking, I agree, the npm-ecosystem still has this pervasive problem that pulling one package can result in many transitive…
> Why is taking out the part that actually checks the types at the developer's side a huge blessing? Oh, no, certainly we want to keep type-checking in the pipeline, somewhere. However, if the browser "understood"…
Taking one link out of the toolchain (tsc) would already be a huge blessing. And naive me hopes for a future where in my web-app I can set a policy that any non-ts, type-incompliant code is not allowed to run. The…
> All of that is something that I consider to be platform-level I agree with this, but the whole point of the blog-post is that the "platform" currently handles this rather poorly. I have yet to see a frontend-project…
