Right, it needs to be fixed at the model level.

I'm not sure if that's possible either but I'm thinking a good start would be to separate the "instructions" prompt from the "data" and do the entire training on this two-channel system.

I think i found something even better. I'm just adjacent to the big money maker. We keep folks on the page a little longer but don't need to concern ourselves with revenue and ads. Just make it good so folks stick around but important enough that we won't get axed.

This is why we need more old timers in charge. We've been around the block and seen how all these things play out already.

Now they just promote the youngsters that say the word AI a lot instead of those of us who actually care about the craft.

If you want it to be accurate to the penny, you kinda do, no?

If you transfer 50k from one account to another and want to check your networth before the money comes back in, summing your balances won't help you.

I think this is besides the point though, I suspect OP wants to track networth over time.

There's a stickied ad at the bottom that says

Very observant of you. The comment you replied to mentioned “non-obtrusive ads at the bottom” so they noticed that too. IMO “non-obtrusive” is a fair description, given that it doesn't seem to be doing excessive tracking (I didn't spot any extra cookies or other storage, so it is presumably logging little, if any, more than web server logs did in the 90s/00s, which is better than the stalking done by most adtech these days).

Hey, gotta pay the bills, somehow! *shrug*

I don't know a lot about Ruby, but I'd wager what its missing is a hero app or framework. Ruby on Rails got folks interested for awhile, but I guess other frameworks won out. What left does it have? What domains does it excel at?

Python has ML. JS has web. C/C++ has performance. Rust is stealing a slice of that thanks to safety.

That probably covers like 99% of things, at least from my world view. There are arguably other better languages but it doesn't much matter if the community all flocks to the well established ones.

There is no single established framework/language for backend Web development. There are many options, all valid, differing in popularity based on their qualities (or sometimes just hype).

Ruby used to be cool around 2010, but it lost to better options. Ruby has strange syntax, and Rails abuses magic, so I guess the viability of TypeScript for development made Ruby less popular.

> Ruby used to be cool around 2010, but it lost to better options.

I'd argue that it lost the cool kidz mindshare but not to better options. People jumped to Node.js because of async but in the end the relevant industry change was the switch to SPA based architectures in the web space. Rails never embraced that approach and hence lost the popularity.

Jump 15 years ahead, and now the Enterprise world is built with React and Angular apps, not with JSPs or Spring MVC apps. Can Rails do a comeback? Who knows, but it's still a bona fide web development stack with terrific productivity gains for those who want to optimize that metric.

IMO I think that the industry will start to move away from React and Angular. These apps take too much developer time for basic functionality, are too slow, and too much of a maintenance burden. The Future^TM is HTMX like functionality, which Rails is very well positioned for with Turbo + Stimulus. I rewrote some pages that had Rails backends with React front ends to Turbo + Stimulus, and the code base size drastically shrank, the performance increased, the maintenance time for features dropped, and it was even more reactive than before.

I can believe this. I think it depends on the project, but there are certainly some with very high false positives. Maybe that's indicative of a confusing app, I don't know.

For one, it might require several rounds of back and forth before its ready to receive the tag, but now the details are spread across several comments instead of neatly at the top

GitHub desperately needs a feature to pin comments in issues or sort by reactions.

Very often in those infamous bugs that has been open for years, having hundreds of ”me too” comments, there are gems with workarounds or reproductions, unfortunately hidden somewhere under 4 iterations of ”click to load 8 more comments”, making it difficult to find. This generates even more ”anyone know how to solve this” spam, further contributing to the difficulty to find the good post.

No, you can always summarize details neatly at the top, you can edit comments, you know?

Yes but the person who is qualified to summarize might not be the person who initiated a discussion.

No again, the person qualified can edit the initial comment.

Hmm didn't realize that repo owners could edit other folks' comments

Still seems like a messier workflow and it might leave behind a dozen comments not related to the progress of the ticket.

Don't worry, I'm willing to bet that there's an AI integration in the works for this...

Why does the PPI matter at all? Thought we only cared about the scaling factor. So 2 in this 100 to 200 scenario. It's not like I'm trying to display a true to life gummy bear on my monitor, we just want sharp images.

These days, as most take 1x scaling factor for 96 PPI (or 72 if you're Apple), yes, but at the very beginning, there was no such reference. 100x100 without the density could have meant 10x10 or 100x100 inches.

Some software, most notably image editors and word processors, still try to match the zoom of 100% with the physical size of a printout.

Because if that pixel takes up 2 vertical pixels when displayed in your web browser... That takes up more space and causes layout shift.

I thought i understood the article just fine but these comments are confusing.
