Yeah warning to mobile users, too. Basically unusable website because of the ads.

I miss the ad free web.

FUD. Don’t spread nonsense. They’re as rigorous as any other tech journo, you just have an axe to grind.

Indeed; ask them why they want to pause immigration and see how difficult it is for them to choke back the 14 words they can’t say in public.

Thank the pseudo intellectual billionaire patron club masquerading as serious thinkers.

This thread is more a reminder of how easy it will be to find people to man the gas chambers when Republicans turn their sights on the homeless. Some wretched dehumanizing of people here.

You know why

That bit of legalese is really important: it obscures intention, and adds layers of deniability to the rich and powerful putting their thumb on the scale. “I guess the socialists and egalitarians just lost in the totally free and fair marketplace of ideas! :shrug:”

I had an advisor really good at calling stuff like that out as "having an eye for the trivial." The advice helped me reframe my personal reading toward substantive engagement, rather than surface-level nitpicks like the order of words in the title.

What an oddly emotional response to a harmless suggestion.

China bad

These free speech warriors didn’t actually care about free speech. They just wanted to be able to say horrible things without consequences.

The most difficult codebases are those with every little thing some bespoke abstraction that went through 3 rounds of committee reviews that results in having to click through 12 files to figure out what anything is doing. Factory factory factories each with their own little frankenframework to understand before using anything.

Yeah this is a cringe way to weigh in on something completely unrelated to your project. Who cares if some random package supports Bun? Compat was always on Bun, anyway.

We wrote a simple internal tool that looks at the that transcript and replaces all UUID and BSON IDs with lower cardinality placeholders (e.g., id-1), including replacing them in the output, and it instantly brought down common error and hallucination rates. I figure this tool lets you apply semantic tokens to the IDs too, e.g. user-1 instead of id-1. Stuff like this is useful for my team because we only use small, fast, highly available models for bulk classification, so we measure error and hallucinations where we can.

Came here to add this, too. Sometimes the most valuable thing a solution can buy you is time to think of a better solution.

This is bigotry dressed up as concern. It’s also not something widespread. Seems like you just think immigrants are rapists.

Weaponized ignorance.

I suspect if the IRGC accidentally blew up a school next to a military base in Oklahoma, they would find it in them to condemn those who made such an innocent mistake.

True! Although in a lot of Node you DO have a compile chain (typescript) you need to account for. There’s a transactional cost there to get these working well, and only sharing the code it needs. These days it’s much smaller than it used to be, though, so worker functions are seeing more use.

I make my comment to note tho that in many envs it’s easier to scale out than account for all the extra complications of multiple processes in a single container.

You have to pay that cost in a worker thread anyway, too. There’s no free lunch.

Reading the article, I didn’t see this answered: why not scale to more nodes if your workload is CPU bound? Spin off 1 cpu and a few gb of ram container and scale that as wide as you need?

e.g., this certainly helps when the event loop is blocked, but so could FFI calls to another language for the CPU bound work. I’d only reach for a new Node thread if these didn’t pan out, because there’s usually a LOT that goes into spinning up a new node process in a container (isolating the data, making sure any bundlers and transpilers are working, making sure the worker doesn’t pull in all the app code, etc.).

Side car processes aren’t free, either. Now your processes are contending for the same pool of resources and can’t share anything, which IME means more likelihood of memory issues, esp if there isn’t anything limiting the workers your app can spawn.

Still, good article! Love seeing the ways people tackle CPU bound work loads in an otherwise I/O bound Node app.

Yeah and it’s not our fault every Elon discussion involves politics. It’s literally all he does all day, and all he seems interested in, anymore.

They would not. The do not.

It was. In hindsight it signaled the beginning of the mass weaponization of the internet via social media. It also was NOT grassroots lol. It was very specifically and intentionally enflamed and groomed and funded by people like Steve Bannon and his good buddy Jeffrey Epstein. It wouldn’t have such a big Wikipedia article without them.

Are you suggesting that academia and all of the other actual places people who learn and know stuff for a living being full of leftists is some conspiracy against you and the right wing?

Touch grass, my dude. These are the thoughts of someone who spends too much time on X.

I think some displays allow fast enough updates for that. But the early versions of the Divoom didn't have enough docs and/or had broken firmware and wouldn't show any custom gifs I sent it. But it's been working great for me for a few years now as a wall clock/weather display.

Finally got around to writing it about this yesterday, actually. https://ryanmpoe.com/2026-01-03-weather-pixel-art/

Happy coincidence, OP!

Posted this because I didn't see it, just now getting back (toddler).

I started messing with this yesterday and was able to get a fully functional refactor engine (complete with code review, running tests, building TS, etc.) going in less than a day.

We were looking for a tool to bake into our developer tooling that supports things like this, and this GenAIScript project has been perfect so far. Definitely doesn't seem quite ready to embed this into customer-facing stuff, but I'm finding it tremendously helpful for LLM-powered tooling!

Many thanks, pelikhan, for publishing this!

Just some random capitalist virtue signaling. Not really an expression people use.

I wouldn’t overthink their comment. It’s just a standard racism. Using DEI as slang for people of color is a 2023/2024 era dog whistle.
