AI increases productivity. If you are selling your time that means higher margins. It doesn't have to do everything. If it increases your productivity by 10% that is all profit.

Unfair comparison. You should compare Angular with Nextjs and Nuxt. I'd throw in a few more options I think are worth considering, Astro, Qwik and SolidStart. My preference in order is:

Astro - Great DX, interop with any other framework, ship HTML by default.

SvelteKit - This one is my favourite to use. Avoids JSX, full stack, great DX. I think this one is similar to Vue/Nuxt, more a matter of taste than actual difference.

React/Nextjs - largest community, most number of jobs, courses, trainings.

SolidStart - Solid is just Web components underneath. It's the most vanilla of the list. It's a great alternative for smaller projects where you want to reduce the amount of 'magic'.

Angular - Google support and not much else. I wouldn't start a new Angular codebase in 2024, but if I had one I'd be happy to work on it and keep it up to date. The framework is mature and new features are still being added.

Lit - I'm adding this one as a bonus. If your main goal is to ship a component library I'd look into this one.

HTMX - skip this, it's just a meme

Meta is building and scaling the infrastructure for AI and then they can resell that at a premium later. All these articles do is highlight the challenges of rolling out your own infra, if Meta solves these issues it becomes a reference and get a bigger piece of the AI pie.

They want to become the AI backend for the Fortune 500

Gotta keep digging that CUDA moat as hard and as fast as possible.

I'm one of "those".

I'm using bun now, but I was on pnpm for a while.

Svelte and solid are nice alternatives.

I find that lots of features in MSFT Office exist for the sole purpose of generating lock in. This is one of them. Just a feature no one needs but enough people use that becomes a sore thumb when trying to evaluate a competing solution.

Because cost and speed. Smaller models can run on your phone for free, or on the cloud for pennies. An API call for a large LLM with a lot of context can cost orders of magnitude more and incur network latency

I see all kinds of small communities related to programming languages, YouTube creator, frontend frameworks, ... These look fun but I never have time to engage one for long enough to feel like I belong there as a member of that community opposed to just a temporary visitor.

I noticed that Discord is usually the platform of choice but I can see some using other platforms, the platform doesn't really matter much, and it's nice to know you can always drop by to ask questions. But for some reason when it's Discord I imagine it's only kids on the other side, for better or worse.

I agree, Modern web development is both enraging and endearing.

And the latest APIs are very sexy.

> To continue rolling out new Google AI features to users at a faster and even larger scale, we’ll be embracing portions of the Android stack

Because they are panicking and need to add AI faster than Apple and Microsoft across their whole portfolio.

> Since we did not have time to change the cooling infrastructure, we had to remain in an air-cooled environment. The mechanical and thermal designs had to change to accommodate this, and that triggered a validation cycle to support a large-scale deployment.

> All of these hardware-related changes were challenging because we had to find a solution that fit within the existing resource constraints, with a very small degree of freedom to change and meet a tight schedule.

Seems like the time constraints put into the team impacted the overall quality of the model.

English only? That is surprising

It's a big mental gymnastics to do the same as Google and Microsoft while claiming moral superiority.

Apple's thrown stones come back to hunt their glass ceiling.

It doesn't look like it does. It seems to only write the email for you but not send. At least yet.

This tool fills a very narrow use case for demos of AI chat.

If you know Python and can run inference models on a colab then you can quickly whip up a demo UI with builtin components like chat with text and images. Arguably everyone is testing these apps so making them easy is cool for demo and prototyping.

For anything more than a demo you don't use this.

They brought this to themselves when they set the launch date to June 18th for this monstrosity.

The article states the opposite.

> Built in a desert with limited water supplies and expanding rapidly, Phoenix, once called “the world’s least-sustainable city,”

I tried Google's NotebookLM for this use case and was very pleased with the experience.

If you trust Google that is.

That's the only way to do it. You can't index the whole thing. The challenge is chunking. There are several different algorithms to chunk content for vectorization with different pros and cons.

It's surprisingly a bad look for her. Plus all the criticism to AI itself. She seems set on slowing down AI development, which is clearly at odds with what the company is doing. Why would she event be involved in this company let alone in the board.

That's a fancy feature. The article is all about sticking to what is simple and without fancy features

I needed a light machine to do some web design work on figma. My first instinct was to get a Chromebook but my designer found an iPad air with m1 for cheaper. I checked and figma was available for iPad so I authorized.

A couple days later we get the iPad and it does have the figma app but it is view only! You can still use figma but it has to be the web version. It works but because apple has terrible PWA support the experience is much inferior than in a much weaker Chromebook.

The Apps for iPad are just weak on general. Often the only available app is the one for iphone, and you can still install but it renders in a third of the screen as a phone App with big black bars on the sides.

We returned it the same day.

I'd start with https://itch.io/

Then find a small community or maybe YouTuber and join their discord. Try to find a smallish community of people in a similar boat with similar qualifications as you. Lots of YouTubers with discord communities. Try to find one of these and take from there

> Our initial conception when we started OpenAI was that we’d create AI and use it to create all sorts of benefits for the world. Instead, it now looks like we’ll create AI and then other people will use it to create all sorts of amazing things that we all benefit from.

> We are a business and will find plenty of things to charge for, and that will help us provide free, outstanding AI service to (hopefully) billions of people.

So a business that doesn't know how to make money yet decided to release their newest product for free. A product that costs million to develop and operate.

I thought we had moved on from cryptocurrencies

Anyone else find it a bit odd how they quickly set it up a day before Google I/O?

They clearly want to steal the thunder from Google's announcements. But they could only do that if they had inside information into what Google is launching. Otherwise it would be smarter to wait and react. Remember they already said this is not a search engine or gpt-5. So while this is probably cool it's not a silver bullet and probably won't overshadow what Google launches.

Unless it's almost exactly the same main announcement. In which case a day would make a difference.

Chatter seem to suggest they're announcing a voice to voice assistant, apple partnership and Google drive integration. All things Google is also rumoured to announce.

It definitely feels like the big guys are panicking to find their moat.

It's very easy to find multiple solutions to one problem. The power of LLM is that it's one solution to many problems.

And on the product side you have product requirement docs which was always useful when a new feature came up as it aggregated all contacts, documentation, support, communications, etc. You always want to work in a product that maintains a decent one.
