I think svelte 5 is an actual innovation, it does not behave or feel like a “framework” to me. It feels like a natural extension of building an front end with raw html, css, js, solving the headaches you eventually hit when you do so.
Nurses do a lot of different jobs. AI can't add much to direct hands-on patient care. But many nurses work desk jobs doing things like chart review, case management, and patient outreach. There is huge potential to automate that work.
When you have great nurses and staff then AI will definitely come in last. Unfortunately there are so many instances of poor staffing at both hospitals as well as in care/old homes where an impartial AI might just be light years ahead.
I would think the health care system really needs something like this though to avoid disaster.
The worst thing I have read about nursing is someone online saying the lucky people were the ones who failed out of their nursing program.
It seems like we are in denial with amount of care aging boomers are going to need and I don't think it is job you can just throw money at. I just can't imagine what long term care facilities are going to look like in 10 years.
Optimist take, the tech is shit and the people like Trump not JD Vance.
Cryptocurrency = Not being used as a currency, doesn’t even meet the criteria for a true medium of exchange.
AI = Can’t actually be used to automate these federal worker’s jobs, it’s snake oil.
Most importantly, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, although quite powerful and influential right now, are NOTHING without Trump. And as michael Bloomberg showed us, money alone doesn’t win elections.
Seriously this is a very well written article and the concerns are real, especially around the degradation of our institutions over the past 50+ years. But if you put JD Vance, Elon, or Peter thiel in front of your average American, the response will be a more derogatory form of “neurodivergent freak”.
In 1-2 years I’m predicting democrats take back the senate and house, 4 years we get a younger more normal democratic president. Hopefully most of the old neo lib democrats die off and we get more smart charged up dems like AOC, Buttigieg, and the fella from Georgia who will actually tell these rich bastards to stuff it.
I agree that this is a well-written and well-researched work. I root for the optimist's take above.
I agree with the article's take on Trump's obliviousness. I think it is an interesting question you raise about the oligarchs' power without Trump.
The fundamental problem with this philosophy is its dependence upon supply-side economics - a methodology that is hopelessly flawed. The will of the consumer can only be suppressed so far -- how long can Musk service his loans when demand for Tesla dries up?
The people who must consume to keep the system going will have a say.
Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that you should probably be using a button.
4chan seems to privately believe that Germans and all Germanic groups are plagued by ethnic autism. I tongue in cheek believe it given how dry their humor is.
Ive got a pretty intense ADHD. This article is vaguely offputting to me. I think it makes it out to be that neurodivergent people need to be baby’d in some way.
From my perspective, I think neurodivergent people can’t stand doing things without purpose. A lot of jobs are truly meaningless, dull, uninteresting, especially in the office space. People with ADHD and ASD should not be doing these jobs. You need to find your strengths and interests and work towards that. You should never work a job that you deep down think is bullshit as a ND individual, this is the equivalent of a death sentence. Find something you are passionate about and you can do better work then any normie no matter how loud or fluorescent the office is.
Let's not pretend normies don't come with their own demands.
The thing is probably just that neurodivergent people dislike different things differently, this can be bad or good, you just need to find the right task for the right person. But you need to do that anyways if you want to get things done well.
That is something I say as someone with an assistant who has ADHS.
> A lot of jobs are truly meaningless, dull, uninteresting, especially in the office space.
If AI lives up to the hype, it will kill most jobs that aren't "meaningless, dull, uninteresting." Shareholders will realize more value if the engaging and creative work is done by mindless AI, and minded humans are relegated to boring monitoring tasks requiring extreme attention and vigilance.
Nobody wants to do dull, uninteresting, bullshit work. Assuming a fix quantity of dull work at any given moment, are you saying that non-neurodivergent people should do more of it so ADHD people can get less of it? Because it doesn't sound fair to me.
I am saying that all people, including neurodivergent people, have personal agency in what kind of work they choose to do. If you work a job that is primarily meaningless work, that’s your choice. My original comment was to say that you have a choice to not work dull jobs, and it is imperative as a nd person to not do it as you will lose. If instead you take a little personal responsibility for your life’s direction, and do work that plays to your strengths, work is easy. Probably true for all people, but absolutely essential for thriving as a neurodivergent person.
This is actually a major issue in the LLM wrapper space. Building things like agents (which I think are insanely overhyped and I am so out on but won’t elaborate on), usually in Python, where you are making requests that might take 1-5 seconds to complete, with dependencies between responses, you basically need to have expert level async knowledge to build anything interesting. For example, say you want two agents talking to eachother and “thinking” independently in the same single threaded Python process. You need to write your code in such a way that one agent thinking (making a multi second call to an llm) does not block the other from thinking, but at the same time when the agents talk to each other they shouldn’t talk over eachother. Now imagine you have n number of these agents in the same program, say behind an async endpoint on a FastAPI server. It gets complicated quick.
> Also keep your lynch pin invariants in the database and not in your code.
I do both. That is how you protect against stressed devs at 2:00 AM trying to insert crap in the production database and how you also make good apps that don't blow up with database exceptions and give you neat validation errors in forms and/or JSON `errors` keys (when it's an API).
I am definitely not talking about a full copy of the data here. I more head in mind a small but representative sample, enough to run and exercise units of code with confidence.
