If it is special, why not use a new element and not one with a history and a clear use today? From my experience it seems to muddle the concept of the existing element. An <a> for example never behaves differently depending on if it is part of a (DOM) tree with a <div> or a <p> as a parent/grandparent.
> Adulthood is freedom.

Freedom? That has not been my experience of adulthood. To me adulthood is about making responsible choices based on their consequences for you and the people around you ... which means that the majority of my time is spent doing things that other people need rather than because I want to do them
Not the original commenter but I expected a semantic macro to be something that expands on syntax-aware macros (in languages like Scheme or Rust) into doing things based on the semantics of the code. Not sure exactly what that would entail but I was intrigued. Instead it turned out to be just quick buttons for sending something to an LLM. Between Github's Copilot, ChatGPT and LLM plugins for Obsidian those needs have already been covered for a long time.
Wait, you're proposing that <input type="text"> shouldn't work when you type into it by default, since that's a reactive UI and should be done with a framework?

Wait, you're proposing that CSS shouldn't be able to define hover effects for links, since that's a reactive UI and should be done with a framework?

Wait, you're proposing that text selection shouldn't work by default, since that's a reactive UI and should be done with a framework?

etc etc

There's already a "built-in reactive framework" for these things.
IMO, the extra functionality this gives does not warrant the complexity, extra cognitive load and learning curve for new developers.

Existing solutions solve enough use cases, and the remaining use cases can use javascript to build whatever they like.

It takes no time at all to find other major mistakes. For instance, the Mixtral diagram § 6.6.1 shows a single router that selects separate 32-layer transformers. Instead, Mixtral has one router per layer (inside of each block), and it doesn’t select a transformer block: it selects a feedforward.

That's a very Friedman-esque take. Capitalism is nothing more than private ownership of means and capital (usually in a market largely free of government control). The recent inflation outbreak is a clear example where capitalism is not a win-win. Banks, hedge-funds, private equity are other good examples.

My anecdote on the AI winter: I went for grad studies in ML (really, just to learn ANNs) in the early/mid 2000s and we had two tenured professors.

One taught all of the data mining/ML algorithms including SVMs, and was clearly on their way up.

The other was relegated to teaching a couple of ANN courses and was backwatered.

The agreement was that they wouldn’t overlap in topics. Yet the first professor would take subtle couldn’t help but to take one or two swipes at ANNs when discussing SVMs.

> Option: Nothing by default, but provide a way to trigger an update

I would strongly suggest this option unless there's a strong reason the browser must keep the elements in sync automatically.

Unless I'm mistaken, the other options could all be done in userland with a MutationObserver, a debounce method wrapping a timeout, and custom logic optimizing updates for specific attributes or changes.

I'm particularly worried about how automatic updates/cloning will work across different frontend frameworks. Today's more popular frameworks already diverge quite a bit with how they handle rerendering and DOM updates, and the next big framework to come along could take a more radical approach to rendering and interactivity.

In my opinion, anything that can reasonably be done in user code should be done there - at least until it causes enough problems that it needs to be solidified into browser specs. I'm always worried that the any clever built-in magic may work today but cause problems later, and because removing the spec is difficult most users would just skip the new <selectedoption> element all together.
Thanks, it was a lot of fun writing it too. I learned a lot of unexpected things about extensions, including that at the instruction encoding level they are not as distinct as I expected, and that there are just so many of them now.
How old are you? What is your highest level of education? What were your grades like? What’s your job?

What impact does the “in-ability to think” have on your life?

I once told my doctor that I thought I had a bad memory. He asked what grades I was getting and when I said A’s, he said don’t worry about it, you are fine. If you are considering reading Ulysses, a notably challenging book, I think you probably have an above average ability to think.

What did the neurologist say exactly? I don’t think inability to think is a medical diagnosis.
I dont think it's going to be that important. Different people have different learning styles but also vastly different capacities making this really difficult to research accurately. People claim to find the secret sauce from time to time. They're most likely wrong.

I think complexity frameworks (like Cynefin) describes it pretty good. When the complexity is low, there are best practices (use a specific gauge of wires in an electric installation in a house or surgeons cleaning according to a specific process before a surgery) but as the complexity goes up best practices are replaced with different good practices and good practices with the exploration of different ideas. Certificates are very good when there are best practices but the value diminishes as the complexity increases.

So, how complex is software production? I’d say that there are seldom best practises but often good practices (in example DDD, clean code and the testing pyramid) on the technical side. And then a lot of exploration on the business side (iterative development).

So is a certificate of value? Maybe if you do Wordpress templates but not when you push the boundary of LLMs. And there’s a gray zone in between.

I agree with the blog post that learning how to learn is an important skill. But the post offers very little beyond a few tips on how to actually achieve that. For people interested in actually learning how to learn I'd recommend the book "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning", which offers a lot of details on this topic based on actual scientific research.
He's basically talking about Godwin's Law[1], which reads: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." and "Any off-topic mention of Hitler or Nazis will cause the thread it is mentioned in to come to an irrelevant and off-topic end very soon; every thread on Usenet has a constantly-increasing probability to contain such a mention."

The TL;DR is that whatever you are saying isn't worth anyone's time of day if you're using Hitler or the Nazis in your argument, and you made everyone in the room dumber with just your sheer presence by doing so.

We're probably talking at cross purposes. Being aware is exactly my message as well.

I've been on way too many overdue projects where people went "but this doesn't scale" for stuff that's just not going to happen. Don't waste time on avoiding so called bad algorithms if there's just not that much data going through it. But yeah, don't write a badly scaling algorithm if it does.

Most lists are just way too small to care about the difference. Literal single digit number of items, and a small loop body. You can go up 3, 4, 5 orders of magnitude before you can even measure the nested loop being slower than lower big-O solutions, and a few more before it becomes a problem.

But if you have that one loop that goes into the millions of items and/or has a big body, you'd better be thinking about what you're doing.

> It's the subscription they cancelled and not the articles.

Correct. Before the UC system also cancelled their subscription with Elsevier they reported paying $11 million annually.

> The Elsevier publisher's articles are still valuable to us.

Yes, but not $11 million/year with a 3 year lock-in. UC reported (at the time of ending the contract) that they have a perpetual license to ~95% of relevant work on Elsevier, so that $11 million/year went to access 5% of Elsevier's library.

What we do see is publishers shifting to open access (OA), which appears to result in lower Uni costs, but shifts the expense burden to researchers. Researchers in the UC system are now asked to use grant funding to help pay OA APC fees.

A simple social media post can work as prior art, especially if it has details or some kind of diagram. But, that only limits their ability to patent it. Your own ability to monetise it is not protected by that. For independent inventors, licensing a patent is far more practical and lucrative than actually manufacturing something or releasing complex software packages. If you are raising VC money, having any kind of patent can increase your chances by a substantial factor.

In this post of Qurani Dua, you have been told about an Islamic talisman with the blessing of which you will get rid of marriage blockage in 14 days.
This Talisman is also called the divine amulet, marriage talisman, and Solomonic talisman and it has been used since ancient times to remove every obstacle and blockage in marriage even today this talisman is used to remove every problem of marriage.
It should be remembered that most girls are victims of marriage blockage and due to marriage blockage, girls face all kinds of obstacles regarding marriage, marriage proposals, and engagement.
Due to the marriage blockage, girls usually do not get married and if a girl gets married, such marriage is not successful.
According to some spiritual experts, 70% of divorces between husband and wife are due to marriage blockage effects.
Remember that marriage blockage makes girls ugly and because of blockage, girls look older despite being younger.
Due to blockage, all kinds of obstacles are created in the marriage of girls and due to this, their engagement can also be broken.
If the obstacle in your marriage is not resolved despite the efforts, then it may due to the “marriage blockage”.
There can be numerous reasons for marriage blockage, but the most important and dangerous reason is the evil eye.
Therefore, the most ancient, successful, and powerful spiritual remedy for marriage blockage is the divine amulet (marriage talisman),

There were many white Americans fighting for equality for all. Heck, look at the recent BLM movement, the woke discussions, #metoo and more.

All of these things were possible because of the 60s, because of white legislators, white judges, white supreme court judges, pushing for change, enacting change, creating the US today which, while imperfect, is quite supportive of equality, both legally and culturally.

So yes, there was all sorts of main stream media pushing for equality.

Heck, the first interracial kiss on US primetime was in the 60s on Star Trek ToS.
