Hyrum's law, right there


Tells you something about the average React code


Or that there are a lot of very basic React tutorials out there.

Like how half of PHP's problem for a while was w3schools.


More than half of PHP's problem was PHP's own online manuals that allowed any Bozo to confidently post idiotic answers and copy other Bozos' idiotic confident answers. It's not like confident idiocy is a new thing with LLMs -- they were trained on it.

Then React turned that confidently idiotic folklore into an ecosystem: every confident answer depends on which year it was posted, which version it assumes, and which of six abandoned libraries it recommends. The LLM blends them into a seventh approach that never existed.

For now, I suspect Svelte's shorter, cleaner history with fewer wrong paths taken and retreated from will mean there are fewer incoherent competing approaches for LLMs to blend together into confident hallucinations.

Perhaps less contradictory training data is better than more incoherent training data.

LLMs may not experience the mind-expanding joy that humans do from using Svelte or the mind-numbing frustration that humans do from using React, but they can inherit the coherent focus of Svelte and incoherent confusion of React without sharing Svelte's pleasure or React's pain.


tutorials are probably less than 0.1% of the training data compared to actual code, or you mean average project is influenced by basic tutorials?


Tutorials are often written in an imperative style that's a little like prompt injection. There's a lot more writing out there on "how to make a todo app demo" than for the complex shit.


Imo, it tells you how many footguns there are in regards to performance in React.


Honestly, models are torrents will end any effort from the big AI labs to stop open models. No way to prevent weights from being shared, just like mobies. Genie is out of the bottle


Youre missing Christianity, Islam etc.



And the island of Guam is not clickable / visible in landscape mode on the phone.


Solar is good, but come on Germany, would have been nice to still have some of these nuclear powers plants eh.


This horse is deader than disco - which funnily has had a revival this decade. Time to stop beating it.

Because these consultants are only hired to shift the blame and responsibility away from civil servants.

"It was not my fault, we were just following Deloitte advice!"

It always has been a waste of money


People should be aware how much worse HTTPX performs versus Aiohttp. For high scale systems it makes a massive difference


pyreqwest has been delightful so far: https://github.com/MarkusSintonen/pyreqwest

It's been a pleasure to use, has a httpx compatibility layer, and it's fast (https://github.com/MarkusSintonen/pyreqwest/blob/main/docs/b...)


I searched and searched for way too long and could not find any information on whether or not aiohttp supports HTTP/2 or 3... do you know or have any reference that explains what all is supported?



I can attest of that, and in addition of harmful decisions of the maintainer that are loaded foot guns...


AIUI the fork has better performance.


I keep confusing aiortc and aoc


What are some limitations you have found with using a smaller model like that?


Just use JavaScript and you should be fine!
