Same elitist attitude I saw on a recent NYT piece about paid full-body MRIs. "People might find stuff that isn't cancerous and freak out".

OK well, it might also find early stage cancers that show no symptoms until past the point of no return!

MRIs have no side effects aside from the high cost. Even their high cost is reasonably affordable if only done every 5-10 years.
As long as doctors & patients make rational follow up decisions with the results, it's a net benefit to be able to get these scans every few years to catch early, slow moving, hard to detect cancers.

There are a wide range of cancers there really are no routine screenings for.
Yes we screen for what.. breast, colon, prostate, skin.. But what of liver, kidney, thyroid, pancreas, and various others?

We had a close friend discover they had stage 2 cancer found during a CT scan after a routine medical procedure went awry. They were told that had the slip-up not occurred, they would have probably lived another 5-10 years, and not fallen ill with any symptoms until stage 4.

I don't understand the mindset that we should just pretend the tools aren't available to detect things earlier.
Thanks for this and for the original post! Excited to look into it some more.
You make it sound like react is a dark box with a lot of magic behind the curtains, but I always found the react model very easy to reason about. Modifying state is explicit and is the only thing that can trigger a rerender. These rerenders can only happen down from where in the tree the state change happens.
Clever workaround!

I have a secret goal to simulate a Turing Machine in the Lambda Calculus, and vice versa, so I was hoping to implement both in the same language so that interoperability would be easier.

I chose Go for the Turing Machines because I enjoy writing it, and planned to blindly use Go again for the Lambda Calculus for the reason above, but if you have a recommendation I'd love to hear it!
I may be misunderstanding your argument, but it seems like you are saying that modeling faults in a classical computer also needs to take into account the states of all bits in relation to one another, and that this somehow proves that the problem of crosstalk is similar to interference in quantum computers.

If I have understood your argument correctly I don’t think the conclusion follows from the premise because crosstalk is not fundamental to classical computing. By that I mean that for a given logical cpu design, crosstalk can be (and is) minimized through physical design characteristics (eg grounding, wire spacing etc) without reducing the size of computation. The same cannot afaik be said of quantum computers, where the interaction between qbits is essential to computation
I think this is a smart way to go. I'll grow my own things for better taste too.
Perhaps I'm just the grumpy old guy that's afraid of change.

But I fell in love with Svelte because it was dead simple (according to me). It was a breeze of fresh air and I felt I just program again without wiring enchantments together.

I do agree that its simplicity has downsides too, so perhaps it's just nothing to be afraid of?

But I can't help seeing this as ominous:

> This is just the beginning though. We have a long list of ideas for subsequent releases that will make Svelte simpler and more capable.

Please don't turn Svelte into a black magic box.

(After reading the comments, I write...)

A business is made of two parts, making the product AND selling the product. There is a third part too but technical people put this under the junk drawer called "admin".

Make a small product (really small product). And sell it (for close to nothing). And grow from there. Always know and understand who your (first) customer is. They might be complete jerks, but don't of think them that way. That is just a problem you have to solve. For example, a guy makes decisions on a whim to buy a product/service, but then also on a whim can cancel the product/service. What can you do for that person? What can you sell to that person? What can you get from that person? Don't write this customer off as unworthy. (modern companies come up with these heavily discounted prices if they sign a contract to deal with just such a people!)

Serve the customer and their immediate needs. That is your shoe-in. (Dump the dreams. They are dreams around just a couple of real molecules.)

Cherish what you build. Don't downplay what you have.
The problems with clicking past those errors are typically not due to network sniffing but with whatever crazy shit is on the page they are going to.

The only two valid usecases of big VPNs like these are

1. Very mild security increase over public wifi
2. Shifting your risk from the ISP spying to mullvad or the VPN provider spying or slightly anonymizing if mullvad rotates IPs.

(2) is a real benefit because ISPs are pretty terrible, but it's still pretty minor in the grand scheme of most people's threat models.

No, it really is the original sin here.

The problem is that from the system's perspective, these aren't "errors". 0.3000000....4 is a perfectly valid value. It's just not the value that you want. But the computer doesn't know what you want.

If you're ok working in a text editor, UniteAI works on pdfs, youtube transcripts, code repos, web pages, local documents, etc. The nice thing about the editor is once it's done retrieval, you can hit another keycombo to send retrieved passages to an LLM (local, or chatgpt), and ask questions or favors about it (such as summarization, or formatting changes).

that's 1 million men spread across the US. For comparison's sake, Greater NYC has ~22 million people. LA has a bit more.

1 million in a country of 330 million is nothing.

Plus there is competition, both in terms of other mates, as well as other priorities. Your ideal man may be in the military and disappearing in 6 months, or working 70 hours a week in a law firm.

This truly sounds like a technical limitation and not some scheme to get more spyware onto the phone. Like in theory the Translate app could do it without the Google app, but that would've taken extra changes that they didn't consider worthwhile.
Functions can return primitives, so there’s nothing wrong with $state() returning a number that you can +=1.

What is weird is that it’s actually typed as a svelte-compiler-only ‘extended int’ that can have side effects when you increment it, and weird knock on results from reading it.
I really enjoyed the content- it's a great article.

I always found observables need better nomenclature.

I know its not anyones fault (RxJS is amazing), but it does seem to invoke some gray area in the brain, thinking observables would do more heavy lifting around change tracking of inputs / sources, when its not that straightforward. They more rightly should be called SubscriptionStreams maybe

I think its always been somewhat poorly named, based on how often I've had to explain the concept to other developers.
Congrats to the team. I think it is particularly impressive (and a bit scary) that DDL changes are also synchronized to the clients automatically!
It's also the name of a brand of private jet, and of what used to be the most successful racehorse in the world.

In current generation language there is definitely a trade-off between language productivity (i.e. speed of writing) and features such as speed and memory-safety.

So far we haven't been able to close this gap fully with current compilers and interpreters (i.e. python still runs slower than C).

It seems like that gap could be closed through, for example, automated refactoring into a rust-like language during compilation, or directly into more-efficient byte-code/ASM that behaves identically.

And surely if that is a possibility, that would affect language design (e.g. if you can abstract away some complexity around things like memory management).

Not everyone has teams of perfect developers given all the time they want to make their perfect frontend app. Most of us deal with average teams where half the devs are at or below par while managing very tight deadlines. The spaghetti from everything in the whole system mutating always comes back to bite.

You call signals an "implementation detail", but if someone doesn't know that's what they are, then they'll wind up doing very bad things. This means they either aren't just an implementation detail or they are a hyper-leaky abstraction.
To be clear I'm talking about zipline's specifically designed delivery VTOLs, not your average consumer quadrotor. I wouldn't call over an hour and a half an "extremely limited flight time" and 50 miles is enough of a delivery range to make it operable from whichever restaurant/warehouse is making the delivery. And that's just today's tech.

Programmers[1] have a complexity bias that interferes with the idea that LLMs can write useful code.

I had a problem last week where I wanted to extract sheet names and selection ranges from the Numbers app for a few dozen spreadsheets. ChatGPT, came up with the idea of using Apple script and with a but of coaxing wrote a script to do it. I don't know ApplesScript and I really don't want to learn it. I want to solve my problem and its 10 lines of AppleScript did just that.

We're nowhere near LLMs being capable of writing codebases, be we are here for LLMs being able to write valuable code because those concepts are orthogonal.

> In general, the new GCs are optimised to work the least and give the best performance when the allocation rate is neither too high nor too low; the new GCs also reuse memory better than object pools.

This a little bit surprising to me that low object creation can degrade GC performance; what's the failure mode for G1/ZGC in this scenario?

Philosophizing and trying to figure things out is "keeping busy." Philosophy, when coupled with writing and teaching, is a very active pursuit. It has nothing to do with depression and depends on soberness of the mind and cultivation of perception.

There are a lot of VPs at Google.
The filesystem access is optional and can be removed, WSL2 is actually a fairly nice implementation of a linux sandbox that can be used like it's just running alongside windows. I think your concern is valid for WSL1, where the seperation is managed by a Microsoft provided Windows driver, but WSL2 is just a VM with dynamic memory allocation, so you can lock it down basically as well as any other Hyper-V VM, it just has a lot of integrations enabled by default.
We never made any such claim! In fact, the reverse: https://twitter.com/nsthorat/status/1653890181592653825

In Svelte 3, you had to opt in to running code on updates, using things like the `$:` label. It was designed to be conservative about updating components, unlike virtual DOM solutions that like to update everything unless you opt _out_.

I too am very sceptical of benchmarks — they can certainly obscure more than they reveal at times. But you don't have to take my word for it, or the benchmark results showing that Svelte 5 is faster than every other framework in existence (https://twitter.com/Rich_Harris/status/1688581184018583558) — you just need to understand the different mechanisms in play.

I mostly agree with you.

Unfortunately, many React apps use Relay (another Meta product) and it opens up a world of “magic” that is sometimes a real pain to reason about.

I've always respected Rich Harris and the Svelte team.

They do an excellent job of some pretty substantial tech. But also the way he/they explain it is so powerful.

That includes the blog posts, the videos, the framework itself and the playground.

This does seem like a unifying step. Seems like (at least) Svelte and Angular have both declared this model superior to their existing implementations. The video gave credit to prior art in general but would have been better to give the specific projects credit - not just ethically but also to be explicit about what is and is not similar.
This is a very well-written page. It's short while still providing enough technical substance to get a good sense of what PB does or is doing differently with references for more info.

You can ask ChatGPT to make it 500 words intro. It will sound natural, just like, how you talk with your friends. People don't want to wait for someone talking something 5 minutes then realize that it's not the video they want to watch.

The idea is that you want to say everything about the video within 10/15 seconds to make viewer interested.

Just like how you want that the title of HN story must be under 80 character, not 800. Do you start conversation with someone by saying 80 words then go on for 30 minute?
> What HAS been a problem is getting good code out the door as fast as business needs. MOST React code is disposable based on the whims of the company.

I know you're right; but this still deeply saddens me. I want well crafted software. I want the code I write and the code I depend on to be made in a way that holds reverence and honor for the craft of software engineering.

I don't want to be running crappy, badly performing javascript made by average talent in react, that exists to serve someone else's transient business needs. Gross.

Huh? It's called observable because it can be observed (that's what "-able" means). If it were actually meant to observe something (as you say), it would have been named "observer." But it's not - it's the callback that's the observer.

Also observables are more like streams than arrays.

i don't know about the qualifications of this guy, or whether what he says about the difference between men and women has any bearing on reality, but what he says about wanting to solve problems and not just feeling good does resonate with me. as does having a purpose.

for me that connects to believing that the purpose of humanity as a whole is to contribute to an ever advancing civilization. that means even if one particular purpose that kept me going disappears, i can find others because there is plenty of help the world needs, and finding a new purpose is much easier if the overall purpose is: do something useful for the world and not: you are supposed to provide for your family. if you can't do that, you are useless.

I think this false equivalency is damaging.

I’m with you. I understand the ethical dilemmas of giving pharma unfettered access to sick people. Still, sick doesn’t automatically mean dumb. My wife reads medical journals and knows how to interpret them. I have much less (yet still more than most) medical experience than her, and I do risk analysis for a living. I think either of us are qualified to look at the statistics and make a rational decision about our own healthcare.
