This is a worthwhile read from Meta engineer @championswimmer (who I met last time I was in London - great guy)

His point is that a lot of these “AI layoffs” could well be backwards: they are prob happening because more AI spend doesn’t correlate with better business results…

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

Kdyby vás zajímalo, jak se k "ship of Theseus", staví ani ne desetiletá holčička, tak k žádnému paradoxu jsme se nedostali. Už při úvodu do problému totiž zaujala extrémní názor, že libovolnou opravou loď přestává být Théseova. Už se těším, jak zareaguje na Achilla a želvu.

Blender MCP is here, allowing Claude to talk directly to Blender. For example, provide a 2D reference image and ask Claude to create it in 3D for you.

I’ve approached LLMs in the IDE like shovels. A shovel doesn’t dig holes for you. It’s more efficient to use a shovel than your hands. A shovel is even better when you learn to lift with your legs rather than your back. We need to teach people to lift with their legs.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

The amount of superstition involved in prompting LLMs is quite fantastic

That "you are an expert in field X..." trick? Likely a complete waste of time since late 2022

🤔💭 Byli jste v přírodě a viděli jste kam udeřil blesk?
📍 Označte toto místo na našem portálu
🎯 Rychlý posel odebere vzorky
🔎 Provedeme laboratorní měření
🧐 Vyhodnotíme nová data pro výzkum
🤗 Získáme důležité výsledky

⚡ V projektu „Kam udeřil blesk“ se pokusíme s pomocí veřejnosti zjistit, jak se mění magnetické vlastnosti materiálu zasaženého bleskem.

⚡ Budeme analyzovat vzorky, které získáme pomocí portálu BLESKEM OZNAČENO a doufáme, že díky Vaší pomoci tak posuneme lidské vědění o kousek dále!

As the stragglers are still heatedly debating F# vs C# vs OCaml vs Haskell, the language designers https://t.co/c7cJT0aOtd have already moved on to the next generation of AI-based programming languages https://t.co/GVTCK6RYUp.

@TitianCernicova Why should be such information (destructed prop names) mirrored in d.ts? Made-up name for whole property will take less space and be parsed quicker ..

[Aaron Francis @aarondfrancis]

The best part about being 90% done with a project is that you're almost halfway finished!

[Svatopluk Ledl @svatal]

@vponamariov @mattpocockuk I like to put the function/component boundary after isDefined check. The code in the inner component always knows the property is defined and does not have to recheck. Of course the checked variable have to be passed as parameter, not defined as global.

TikTok and Snapchat are associated with Gen-Z by the media

But YouTube is another level

@mattpocockuk Ok, this is the one: @mattpocockuk

autocomplete ✅
errors on key ✅
actually works ✅

Someone figured out you could use Stable Diffusion (+ControlNet) to adapt QRs into images while still having them work reliably: https://t.co/lKPJDF9gvr

[vicki @vboykis]

Ok, so LLMs are a Thing.
How do they work? Embeddings.
WTF are embeddings?
I spent a year doing a deep dive. But when I was researching, I couldn't find anything that explained them in business, engineering, AND math contexts. So I wrote a thing.🚀

I enjoy cleaning up messy code. It feels like the equivalent of spring cleaning for developers. Fixing names, adding structure, removing structure, deleting unnecessary code (this is the best one), and simplifying complex code.
