That could be done so that it doesn't look like extortion though

Absolutely, it's just there's no commercial pressure on Salesforce company structure to evolve towards valuing the feelings of small clients.

For me the main benefit is that AI chat provides at least 10x better results than Google ~search~ Ad results

Ad-free LLM output won't last. Or at least you'll pay a premium for it. Personally, I do pay for a search engine subscription (Kagi) in an attempt to align my interests with my search results.

Only energy consumption will explode

And this is the predicament that people seem to either not understand or completely (wilfully?) ignore. As is said, problems have solutions; predicaments have outcomes. I think this [0] is worth a read (among many other similar analyses)

The bigger and more complex the application, the less is the effect of this.

Dioxus 0.7 comes with a set of components that cover even most of interaction with the JS side. There are great times ahead. What seems to be missing is modularizing and lazy loading of the WASM moduls to reduce initial download size (I saw some experiments). I immensely enjoy being able to use a sane language+tools for backend and frontend.

Direct DOM access is missing. Until that WASM will always be only a second class citizen

The cost of not having direct dom access is that of a minimal js wrapper glue which is negligible,

Will that ever be supported? I google it every six months or so and don’t see any promising news

WASM does not need to access the DOM to be extremely useful. JS is already very effective and ridiculously fast for updating the DOM.

WASM is to offload computationally expensive workloads that JS is not so good for (perhaps some sort of computer vision, for example). It passes the result back to JS to update the DOM.

Everyone says that and it makes sense, so I don't criticize this opinion.

And yet you have articles like OP, where someone finds WASM useful for form validation which is clearly not in the "offload computationally expensive workloads" category and would profit from a direct integration.

Same. It does not help that the whole thing also changes name all the time, so even finding out about the current state is a challenge.

According to the developer of Leptos direct Dom access is barely relevant with respect to WASM webapps

Almost all managers I had to interact with in about 4 dacades were exceptionally bad. AI can only be an improvement.

> Almost all managers I had to interact with in about 4 dacades were exceptionally bad

I've never met a person who didn't believe with all his soul that he could do the job better than his manager.

Corollary: anyone promoted into management instantly becomes a PHB to his reports.

Likewise; I actually enjoy writing code, and I'm pretty damn good at it; but I will rather take the role as manager myself than write code for most managers I've come into contact with.

Many workplace issues can be solved, a shitty manager is a total dead end.

"'Forbidden' AI Technique" (Computerphile)

The TLDR version is most models eventually adapt to lie to users and unit tests. =3

Claude 4 loves to -fix the tests- by making the test pass instead of fixing the bug

ymmv

They don't have to admit that the decision was made by AI. One low-wage worker in HR can be the spokesperson who sells it as his decision.

So the thing about people who enforce laws is, they're not _completely_ stupid. Dodgy companies will pretty much always attempt to hide the fact that they're breaking the law; nothing new there.

No law specifically requires more than a coin flip, but firing people because some rando in HR "decided" without justification or documentation of cause can be risky.

The first thing the compiler tells after using dyn is, that the value is not object safe. Then you just got yourself another problem ;) With a lot of experience it becomes more obvious from the start what approach can work out, but with little knowledge, the compiler only sends you in circles and the great error messages tell you what you need to change to make the code compile, but usually pushes you in the direction you tried to avoid. I'm reasonably productive now, but it was bloody hard time to get there.

I never worked with low level languages except some university lession, but I think I have good general understanding how a CPU and memory works (just for some context)

That's quite an elaborate way to say "I thought a little bit about an awful lot of things"

TLDR: Because ChatGPT is not intelligent enough to be a threat and we don't yet now exactly what intelligence is, AI will never become a threat. He even mixes up data volume with intelligence at some point and lacks the imagination to see how software could kill humans.

My opinion: Doomers think someone could eventually figure out how to build AGI that could improve its own abilities which would lead to singularity and that could lead to bad things for humans. Nobody who has basic knowledge about AI thinks ChatGPT, even in version 7 will start killing people. That's no proof that something more capable can't be built.

Depends on how many coins the creator owns and when he sells. The creater starts with a few bits in a chain that suddenly are worth billions. When he sells be gets a big chunk of that in Dollars and the value of the rest collapses to zero for everyone trying to sell later.

Yeah, granted, the creator of bitcoin _might_ be, effectively, operating a very complex Ponzi scheme, but it seems unlikely. Occam’s razor says that they were a sincere person or group with unconventional economic theories.

The creators of small memecoins often are doing this, deliberately, of course. Some of them are amazingly open about this, often marketing their memecoins as, essentially, “it’s still early” (ie you, the buyer, get to get in before the scheme collapses; like early Madoff customers, you can be one of the lucky ones!).
