After years of writing reactive code (first React, now Svelte), imperative event-driven code is proving to be massively simpler, maintainable and more enjoyable to write. No $effect, no $derived, and the only thing that has a reactive $state are things that are visible to the user

Locally deployed qwen3-32b not only doesn't understand Svelte 5, just like all other LLMs don't, it actually only talks about it in hypothetical.
How can we possibly trust these things to answer anything correctly?

I absolutely love everything about this concept and want it to be applied on literally every consumer product that exists. I just hope this will become successful and the concept itself won't be compromised in the process
Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen

1/4 Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements.
AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no.

Vibe coding is basically just another Skinner box.
Is it gonna do it? Or is it going to fail again? Ah, just barely, let's try again, I'm sure it'll work this time... Hah! See? It works! Now let's keep pulling the lever, we'll finish this project in no time!

AI models in hospitals miss 66% of patient injuries, failing to detect worsening health. A study urges integrating medical expertise, as 65% of US hospitals rely on these systems for patient care. 🩺💻

Interesting take on this issue. Also interesting to realize that YouTube really does have a home feed algorithm that genuinely provides good recommendations, unlike most other platforms. Seems like the other platforms don't actually have quality content to recommend, their feeds are just brain rot.
