remify commented on AI must RTFM: Why tech writers are becoming context curators   passo.uno/from-tech-write... · Posted by u/theletterf
tokyolights2 · 17 days ago
Tangentially related: for those of you using AI tools more than I am, how do LLMs handle things like API updates? I assume the Python2/3 transition was far enough in the past that there aren't too many issues. How about other libraries that have received major updates in the last year?

Maybe a secret positive outcome of using automation to write code is that library maintainers have a new pressure to stop releasing totally incompatible versions every few years (looking at Angular, React...)

If European leadership has even half a brain cell this could be the catalyst for enormous growth in European science. But they’d need to act fast.

The EU don't act fast. It act slow and steady, it's not perfect but it sure is better then whatever is happnening the other side of the Atlantic.

Slightly related: I die a little inside each time I see `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(object))` thinking about the inefficiencies involved compared to how you'd do this in a more efficient language.

There's structuredClone (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/stru... https://caniuse.com/?search=structuredClone) with baseline support (93% of users), but it doesn't work if fields contain DOM objects or functions meaning you might have to iterate over and preprocess objects before cloning so more error-prone, manual and again inefficient?

March 2022 is not that long ago for a codebase. It takes time but Javascript has come a long way and it's definitely going in the right direction.
remify commented on Ask HN: Why is Gmail so incompetent at basic search?    · Posted by u/sn9

I find Gmail search to be OK. Compared to search functions in other tools it’s probably near the top. I’m looking at you Notion…

Curious if the poor search performance you saw is related to the non-Roman alphabet search or another factor.

I've found Gmail search to be suprisingly good. It can parse pdf attachments from years ago and match it with the search.

It's miles ahead of Outlook from my point of view.

What problems does Datadog solve that you can't solve with cheaper solutions?

It's honestly easy to use and implements. It's a try it and adopt it product, it's even one of their sales tactics.

msft had a massive edge. it had exclusive access to models + had web search before anyone.

they flopped this royally, just like windows mobile. they created a shitty ux by shoving it inside the bing app, then they decided to charge for it instead of capturing all enterprise value.

lastly, the product has stalled and missed on their biggest opportunity which is tapping into the data. you can think it's because of how complex it must be, but then openai and everybody else did it.

it's truly a lesson in product mismanagement, once again, from microsoft

That is possibly the most original README I've seen in a long time.

I will admit it's a bit.. obfuscated, though?

remify commented on Framework's first desktop is a strange–but unique–mini ITX gaming PC   arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/perihelions

It is a weird product for the Framework brand.

The pitch for the Framework laptop is that it is repairable/upgradable/modular. Something that is uncommon for laptops nowadays.

This is the opposite. Desktops are modular by default, so much is that my computer is like the Ship of Theseus, I never changed it, but upgrade to upgrade, it is a completely different machine than it once was (it started off as a 486!). This one is not.

The Framework desktop doesn't look bad, but now, I am confused about the meaning of the brand. It is as if Tesla made a diesel car.

I think it's an offering for companies that would like to get onboard with Framework but would prefer to only have one contract / contact for their laptops and desktops.
