AI is turning software developers into recurring revenue.

We need viable offline mode small models so we can ditch these cloud providers. We're currently playing with the house's money and they're getting us addicted. At some point the hammer will drop and costs will balloon.

There is a massive grifter economy built on the back of pseudo science because there are willing masses ready to spend money on any short cuts they are offered.

Basically, if they've been on the Rogan podcast odds are very high they're full of shit.

I get that you're an academic and there is a tendency amongst academia to protect "your own" but there are so many that acquire PhDs and push junk science to just push ideological view points, disrupt actual science, and sell junk. The degree is a gateway to money for many.

no no no, they need to hold onto power until the bitter end so they can bleed every penny from it.

I have been doing Zig for a few months now and this is the first I've heard of such a thing. I was going to visit the Boston Rust meetup to help promote the Zig meetup.

If you want to find the biggest carpetbagging astro-turfing democrat running for congress I'd like to introduce you to Kat Abughazaleh.

Literally everything wrong with the Democratic party.

My team is hiring a front end focused LiveView dev. If you know of anyone with those skills hit me up.

If you are looking for Elixir consultation, then I have some free slots available now.

we're still a ways away from making this production-ready but we're moving pretty quickly

We can now render native apps with Svelte

yeah, when I did look at Hyperview my understanding is that it's just a webview with js bindings to the native system. There are bunch of these out there and they're all just improvements over Phonegap IMO. What we're doing is (hopefully) very different.

I think you missed the announcement. LVN is dead as continuing to support the breaking changnes in LiveView isn't something I'm willing to continue doing.

Check out the dependency constraints in live_view_native hex package for working versions.

Now we have breakpoints working. And yes, that is @htmx.org (kind of) running the SwiftUI app.

I'm with you on that it's the correct thing to do and possible, but this US-East-1 downtime event has been going on for over 15 years and it's the same story every time

Yeah but continuing to only deploy to a single data center is a lesson that no company is ever going to learn. They'll eat the few hours of downtime rather than invest in the engineering required to solve for real

Well, IMO Gladwell is a hack who sells populist ideas repackaged so people feel smart when they read his work.

The universities having a ton of money, large endowments, etc... did nothing to offset the costs.

It has devastated a generation. Because of student loans people are waiting longer to get married, buy a home, have kids because they want to pay off this enormous debt.

In the United States the entire academic system has been perverted by money. The student loan program, while the aim may seem good, has simply just resulted in universities knowing they can cash-grab government backed loans. The debt is put upon students that are facing diminishing career paths.

Pretty awesome that The Democrats are running a 77 year old for the Senate. She'd be the oldest freshman ever elected. Records were meant to be broken!

They're kind of all praying their bet will pay off with the winner-take-all promise AI companies are selling.

It's going to be a global disaster.

The worst part is with the rise of authoritarian governments they'll be in position to further take advantage of that moment.
