There's still truth to that. React has changed a lot in those 10 years. So much so that old code is unrecognizable and would be an anti-pattern today.

And that's only React, the ecosystem around it also has changed significantly.

Show HN: An interactive transformer “debugger” been working on in my free time
My focus has been shifting towards the ML alignment space recently, and in particular the ability to translate large transformer models into human understandable circuits and algorithms. This problem potentially isn't solvable, but it is one that some groups have had success with after large amounts of effort.

In attempting to address this issue, I've been developing Transpector. A tool scaling up and reducing the barrier to entry of techniques that these teams have been showing success with. Techniques aiming to understand the internal mechanics of the model. Currently this tool is focused on model activations but with more free time willing I'm planning to expend it into the gradient and weight spaces as well.

If you have some free time of your own, I encourage you to give it a try, I've found it's not only a bit of fun but its been a good way to help others build intuition of these models.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Some professional cleaners do indeed do their job on properties they might never have seen before; maybe the programming equivalent is the external consultant who is expected to quickly identify bugs in unfamiliar codebases.

> If social relationships cannot be maintained without social media, I have no doubt, it is the wrong social relationships "maintained".

I'm a person who abstains from social media. My family has not. They can contact me individually, and some do infrequently, but they complain that I'm extra work and the rest of my family is more connected because they post content once and everybody sees it. So, I'm missing out on the healthy part of social media -- as anti-social-media as I am, I must acknowledge that there is some good to it. Your insistence that my family is the "wrong social relationship" to maintain is missing the baby for the bathwater.
To be fair, React itself has changed in fundamental ways multiple times throughout that period. And it's not like React is the only thing you need to worry about when building a React app: there's a whole ecosystem of tooling and libraries that you rely on which are constantly moving.

Defeats the point of WASI—WASIX seems not to be capabilities based
Your take sounds more reasonable. I would think you would get diminishing returns if you try to solve all pathological cases.

Sometimes it is the fault of the language design too. Maybe the language spec needs to be changed. Imagine all the wasted effort to optimize V8 when you could have put static typing into Javascript itself.
the core concepts are the same. the implementation details have changed, but I think it's a stretch to call it a radical change. you could probably learn how to convert a component from class -> functional in a few hours.
It is possible to believe that AI poses threat, while also thinking that the AI safety organizations currently sprouting up are essentially grifts that will do absolutely nothing to combat the genuine threat. Especially when their primary goal seems to be the creation of well-funded sinecures for a group of like-minded, ideologically aligned individuals who want to limit AI control to a small group of wealthy technologists.
I swear some unsubscribe forms exist to play by the rules but don't actually do anything. I've gotten spam emails from "enterprise db" about webinars I'm not interested in for I don't know how long now. They've got one of those generic unsubscribe links[1] that doesn't have a URL built for your email and makes you type the email yourself, so I have to check which of my several addresses they're sending emails to (my org gives a few emails that forward to the same place). But even after doing that like a dozen times with different email addresses they continue to email me. I mark them as spam now and blocked the address.

He’s making a statement alongside those who certainly aren’t championing these things for altruistic reasons.

Nobody develops a groundbreaking technology and then says “we should probably be regulated”, unless they actually mean “everyone after us should probably be regulated by laws that we would be more than happy to help you write in a way that we keep our advantage, which we also have infinite resources to work both within and around”.
Chess is just a game, with rigidly defined rules and win conditions. Real life is a fuzzy mix of ambiguous rules that may not apply and can be changed at any point, without any permanent win conditions.

I'm not convinced that it's impossible for computer to get there, but I don't see how they could be universally competitive with humans without either handicapping the humans into a constrained environment or having generalized AI, which we don't seem particularly close to.
Current topic aside, I feel like that stochastic parrots paper aged really poorly in its criticisms of LLMs, and reading it felt like political propaganda with its exaggerated rhetoric and its anemic amount of scientific substance e.g.

> Text generated by an LM is not grounded in communicative
intent, any model of the world, or any model of the reader’s state
of mind. It can’t have been, because the training data never included sharing thoughts with a listener, nor does the machine have
the ability to do that.

I'm surprised its cited so much given how many of its claims fell flat 1.5 years later
Is it really that much of a crisis to have the "0 React in 2023 experience ... don't even know the modern hello world" when one can just spend some time on their (excellent) documentation site and get back up to speed?
I think React really was revolutionary when your choices were jQuery, Backbone, or even Angular 1. I remember trying to convince my team that React was the next best thing when it first came out. Skepticism was everywhere — especially around JSX. So we compromised and wrote our components with CoffeeScript…

The sheer number of flux frameworks were a testament to how underserved the state model was at the time. And without consistent support for async/await to make Promises work well in an app, data fetching and state was the worst part of React.

I’ve always despised Redux and the circus that came with thunk generators. MobX made things a little bit easier. And Baobab was a fun concept to bring Clojure-style cursors to JavaScript. It wasn’t until React shipped the context API and hooks that I felt the problem of, “how do I get this state from up here to down there?” was truly solved.

Personally, I’ve wished I could quit React for something like native Web components, but I feel like I’d be back at square one with state management and stringly-typed templates. Maybe Lit-HTML will get there one day!

> AI is the new "blockchain" in terms of the level of hype

In terms of hype, I'd agree.

The difference is that AI is useful.
I was blown away when I learned the concept of the virtual DOM and how diffing it could be made fast.

But as practical tool, React has been a regression for the web IMO.
big milestone for the team, congrats to all of the contributors!
No, I'm just using the fact that in a Mimmblewimble blockchain, the initial block download doesn't include any data about spent outputs. Neither the outputs themselves nor their rangeproofs. That's the beauty of MW.

You could call that historical aggregation, but normally when people talk about aggregation (as I assume you do) it refers to aggregating transactions before they're included in a block.

In other CT blockchains, that data stays around forever, hurting scalability.

+1 for the podcast as well, at least the episodes where he hosts/interviews. RR is a legend in his industry, helped shape some of the most influential sounds of my life.

I'm always intrigued when he gets into process and how it has evolved to (paraphrasing) "getting out of the way, and getting the artists out of their own way".
In defense of the concerned comment, they do say “read/write” access. I’m not 100% what they mean by “write” though, surely adding in some sneaky evil code where it doesn’t belong would set off some alarm bells at least.
I mean, Java was the stereotype of boring enterprise language, and has certainly changed a lot in the last ten years in terms of its shift towards functional-friendly programming.
But yet, it’s full steam ahead. Many if not all of the signatories are going to do their part to advance AI even as they truly believe it may destroy us.

I’ve never seen such destructive curiosity. The desire to make cool new toys (and yes, money) is enough for them to risk everything.

If you work on AI: maybe just … stop?
Yup! I actually discovered react via Om, which lead my down a delightful mind bending journey into ClojureScript and lisps. Awesome

This line of reasoning refutes pie-in-the-sky doomsday narratives that are extremely unlikely, but the case for AI extinction risk justifies a relatively high likelihood of extinction. Maybe a 0.0000000001% chance is worth ignoring but that's not what we're dealing with. See this survey for the probabilities cutting-edge AI researchers actually put on existential risk: https://aiimpacts.org/2022-expert-survey-on-progress-in-ai/#...
How do you get this evaluated? Is it an expensive/time-consuming process? Do you have to spend several nights sleeping in some strange lab?
EU traded off massive inflation for independence from Russian fossil fuels. A victory for politicians, not so much for the Otto Normalverbraucher.
React development has had multiple major changes over that time span, as far as what's culturally allowed & encountered in the wild (if not what's technically possible). Just-functions, classes-and-functions mixed as appropriate, redux becoming a nigh-standard, the HOF invasion, hooks, and classes becoming deprecated.
What will succeed React?
If there's no humanity, presumably those people would be worse off, no?
Things like colours and units get used in many properties (color, background-color, border-color, box-shadow—in which <color> is only a part of the syntax—and many more; width, length, font-size, font—a shorthand in which <length> is only a part—and many more), and if they get expanded in one place, then all properties that use them take the new definition—hence <color>, <length>, &c. as the only sensible way to structure things (in spec, reference and mental model). By contrast, the values of properties like ‘display’ aren’t used anywhere else.

It sounds like a large part of the problem is helping to build the right mental model. If you understand that colours and lengths are used in many places, it will make sense that they will be documented separately from the properties, and that the properties’ references will just refer to them.
"Fidelity found that 2.4 percent of 22 million people with retirement accounts in its system took hardship withdrawals in the final quarter of 2022"

That's a lot... over half a million people dipping into the account in a single quarter. :-/
I don't disagree. But I believe AI is a significant multiplier of these risks, both from a standpoint of being able to drive individual risks and also as a technology that increases the ways in which risks interact and become difficult to analyze.
Thanks, that's helpful.

> I’m not sure what you mean about cross-platform. LiveView is for building web apps, so there’s only really one platform to speak of: the browser.

Similarly, React is for web apps but React Native has emerged such that your knowledge and some code can carry over, and now there's even React Native for Web so that you can write React Native and run it on the web in a way that at least tries to maximize code portability. It sounds like there hasn't been an emergence of equivalent tools with LiveView... but that's fine. As you say, LiveView is for the web and if that's the one thing you're targeting, especially for an internal app so internet connectivity is reliable, it's fantastic and possibly the best solution that exists now. There's certainly nothing wrong with making a great tool to full a particular (major) need!!

There's a lot of variability in those costs. A third of the estimate is just housing. It's not quite as simple as saying that each kid will cost you another $1400 out of pocket each month.

I actively disagree with this assessment. I think they've been getting worse.
Honestly, in my opinion, only Mark believes in the Zuckerverse. Everyone else at Meta is just trying to keep their job at this point. If you directly ask them about it, they'll hem and haw about the future of interaction changing and how business meetings will be conducted with headsets and all that. But do they really believe in it? I don't really think so.
I sometimes feel like there are three. The class components way, the hooks way that everyone has been doing it up until a few months ago, and the hooks way that the beta docs say you should do it. Maybe those last two aren't different enough, but the clashing philosophies around useEffect are enough to require massive refactors.

EDIT: I'm referring to how the proper use of useEffects is to almost never use them. They're for side effects, and they're not a tool to just "re-render when these dependencies change". But to do this right, it requires a re-wiring of the mental model of how to do React, at least for many people I've come across.
SolidJS? It uses Signals in its Reactivity system and there's no virtual DOM. It has some syntax similarities to React making it easier to transition. It uses JSX and is quite performant.

Her field has also taken the largest hit from the success of LLMs and her research topics and her department are probably no longer prioritized by research grants. Given how many articles she's written that have criticized LLMs it's not surprising she has incentives.
The response to climate change in recent years, even the most recent decade, is massive and global. This dumb trope that we’re not doing anything about is rooted in no amount of progress here will be accepted as sufficient. It’s a religion at this point.

Looks like style to me.

Like saying "their actions weren't exemplary" when you really mean "their actions were bad"; maybe a British-English style?

When one uses this format, like in the phrase "[something] wasn't ideal" (eg 'I crashed my car and missed my own wedding, which wasn't ideal') the claim to less-than-perfection is really an implicit statement that the object/situation was the opposite of perfection.

Concentration also causes less energy to be sent to the digestive system because the energy gets diverted to the brain. Concentration is an evolutionary 'fight or flight' adaptation. Therefore when you are highly concentrating, its possible that your digestion gets impaired. Couple this with shallow breathing, then you would have even less energy available for digestion.

Which causes the food to be badly digested, leading to gas and even various syndromes that cause irritation & inflammation in the intestines and even the body in general. Because when a non-digested piece of food enters the intestines, the body can easily trigger the immune responses of the body, thinking that 'a foreign substance has entered the digestive system' (which is natural). This kind of digestive problems, IBS etc seem to be common in tech circles.
