It’s the “I like people who weren’t captured“ mentality. We are well past the point where HR should just be burned to the ground.

I fear the message won't be heard: according to Fox News and Newsmax everything's fine and all going to plan. The real battle is the grip that these media outlets have in shaping their own narrative, despite the fact that America's wealth is vanishing.

Super convenient reference, thanks!

Not meaning to sound like an alarmist/Luddite, but do verify the citations! It may have been an inadequate prompt, but a colleague had a fictitional article inserted into the bibliography from an AI task. The journal was indeed real, but the author and article title were hallucinated.

Me: so is it an int or a float? JavaScript (in a devious hushed whisper): “it’s a _Number_!”

The pipe transformed R development (originally %>% from magrittr, now |> in base R). Bringing the pipe to js would open up so many possibilities. It would be fun to see how long of a script you could write that is syntactically correct in both R and JavaScript!

Professional React & Next.js by ByteGrad. This is a very deep course that has finally helped me to understand React. The author also has a very active Youtube channel and every video is worth watching. bytegrad.com/courses/prof...

If Javascript is a footgun, then Typescript is a hand cannon. Either way, you’re gonna lose a limb!

@simonwillison.net do we have any protections against similar attempts by the US govt to influence US companies that build LLMs? What will happen in 2 years if we try to ask chat GPT about Jan 6?

Thank you for that, I can make small exceptions :)

Thanks! For my use case, it's mainly for bike routing in small areas, eg. lower manhattan. I'm studying some APIs that do this, perhaps will try ORS: giscience.github.io/openrouteser...

I’ve been leaning JavaScript since 1996. Getting brain to cooperate is still the hardest part!

Interesting! It sounds like a kind of column store. Did you use Typed arrays? Or does this re-org of the data remove duplicate keys in the objects thus saving space?

Everything old is new again!

It’s called Istanboolean now.

I’m almost there… I see the advantages but a lot of my motivation for ts is simply to avoid the scorn from real devs when I write plain js!
