Only a single passing mention of web components?

> You can use isolated JS scripts, or other approaches like progressively-enhanced web components

How would one use "progressively enchanced" web components? Maybe I misunderstand the intention behind this statement, but web components are either supported or not. There doesn't seem to be some kind of progression.


Given custom elements are pretty widely supported by browsers now, I assume you are referring to js being turned off.

In terms of designing for that situation - you can follow a pattern where your custom element wraps ( <custom-ele><stdelement></></> ) the element you want to enhance. If js is turned off, then the custom element defaults to rendering it's contents....

Yep, that's the ideal approach for decent browsers. A curious caveat is that IE 8 and below will interpret that example HTML as <custom-ele></><stdelement></> (ie. as siblings, not parent and child) and therefore not apply any component-scoped styles. Not ideal.

Of course nobody uses those browsers anymore, the same caveat applies to non-custom HTML5 elements, and the bad behavior has long been preventable with JavaScript [0]. But anyone (else) with an extreme backwards compatibility mindset might consider if they could instead bootstrap from <div class="custom-ele"><stdelement></></> and (if needed and in window) a coordinating MutationObserver.

I made offmetaedh.com with it. Feels pretty great to me.

The tools feed into self control.

>I am troubled by people using an LLM at all to write academic research papers.

I'm an outsider to the academic system. I have cool projects that I feel push some niche application to SOTA in my tiny little domain, which is publishable based on many of the papers I've read.

If I can build a system that does a thing, I can benchmark and prove it's better than previous papers, my main blocker is getting all my work and information into the "Arxiv PDF" format and tone. Seems like a good use of LLMs to me.


comparison is the thief of joy


That makes no sense here.

I’m wondering if founders and employees will lose out on any upside.

Considering the payouts will go to them after the investors.



thanks I will try this out


I remember the "under $40k" announcement price


2019 just before covid was a bad time to make price estimates five years into the future.


well half of the problem is that it ended up 2 years late.


Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.


Wish I was smart enough to know how the math ties in with this article from last month
