Keeping a dev journal, book recommendations, how computers reduce efficiency, introduction to jhanas, some podcast notes about AI companies, and how do dogs see color.
Extremely esoteric bug. Iβve had an open issue for the past three months related to this other issue. I couldnβt figure out why npmβs registry would pull an older version of d3-scale-chromatic when I upgraded the @observable/plot library. As a future note for myself, if I run into this issue again, Iβll have to go into the package-lock.json file and update d3-scale-chromatic to v3.1.0.
A change in format for weekly notes. Local rumblings like H5N1, international splashes with China's Internet disappearing, could AI solve science, the smart web could use our support, and engineering the slow internet from a user from Antarctica.
From this ACM paper, On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots, the hypothesis is maybe these LLMs are parroting back what we already know and arenβt learning. We can probably, maybe, safely say that is no longer the case.
Bye bye, corporate open source, spaced repetition explained as a in cartoon, cyberattacks on healthcare, AI Developer marketing ploy?, and a bunch of lay-offs and obits.
While the Republican-led Congress has used its power to condemn any protests on behalf of Palestinians, where was the same outrage and zealousness when white nationalists came to college campuses?
A modern action adventure road story where a 17-year-old girl named Suzume helps a mysterious young man close doors from the other side that are releasing disasters all over in Japan.
I forked a small demo from Wes Bos and ran in on my own sandbox. It seems much cleaner than using a script tag per each dependency, and works on all major browsers.
In my little demo app, I placed the importmap in the head of the document. Iβm using react as well as my own utils file to test out the functionality.
From there, I imported these libraries in a script module.
<body> <div id="app"></div> <script type="module"> /* eslint-disable */ import { useState } from "react"; import { createRoot } from "react-dom"; import { formatMoney } from "utils"; createRoot(document.querySelector(`#app`)).render(formatMoney(100.2365)); </script></body>
I had a hiccup with [plugin:vite
] as I found countless others have, so I wrote a custom bun server to host this project. Hopefully thereβs a better setup I can find with Vite using importmap in the future.
I have put back together my newsletter after years of absense! These are
primarily updates on my blog, "Craft By Zen", and maybe some highlights to
the new articles I've written. There might be some life updates as well.
I'm doing away with the old format of weekly longform essays, and trying
some new things with my newsletter.
