Here's an empirical research article from June 2024 that proves that customers are less likely to engage with your company if you overuse AI in your communication.

Please stop.

Adverse impacts of revealing the presence of “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” technology in product and service descriptions on purchase intentions: the mediating role of emotional trust and the moderating role of perceived risk
While the presence of the term “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” in a product description may be viewed as a sign of that product having advanced capabilities and features, it may also trigger fear an...

Consider your site content that is routinely updated, like weather maps, Covid charts, or stock graphs. Screen reader users encounter maps and charts where the image has been updated but the alt text hasn't. This can lead to confusion. Always update alt text when updating images.

Brilliantly executed meme work here.

Also, the focus on tokenization tickles me. Tokenization is just feature learning/engineering wearing different clothes. It turns out that data representation matters! Again! Who knew?
🚀 With Meta's recent paper replacing tokenization in LLMs with patches 🩹, I figured that it's a great time to revisit how tokenization has evolved over the years using everyone's favourite medium - memes!

Let's take a trip down memory lane!

Finally finished the first sock. Should I make the second sock identical or change it up with a different framework?

The cat is out of the bag: MSW now supports mocking WebSocket APIs! 🥳

This makes it the first API mocking library in JavaScript to support all major API types. Seamless, client-agnostic and standard-based, as usual.

Learn about why it took 4 years to ship:

Enter WebSockets
Four years in the making, today we are welcoming a new protocol in the expanding family of MSW—WebSockets.

You only need a little bit of TypeScript knowledge to be dangerous with React

- Type your inputs, infer your outputs
- Use React.ComponentProps everywhere
- Use Omit<> when overriding props
- Don't pass types from the DB into your components

Mat is not on 🦋—posting on his behalf!

It's time to revisit common assumptions in IR! Embeddings have improved drastically, but mainstream IR evals have stagnated since MSMARCO + BEIR.

We ask: on private or tricky IR tasks, are rerankers better? Surely, reranking many docs is best?

Do you want to use the exact same alt text each time a specific image is used? Not necessarily. Alt text must consider the context of the image and why it's being included on a site, post, article, etc. In other words, alt text depends on where you're including the image and why.

Recently, I released a universal visualizer and analyzer for JavaScript and CSS called `sonda`.

It works with @vite.dev, Rollup, esbuild, webpack, and @rspack.bsky.social and is more accurate than some existing tools.

What is the difference between weather and climate. This #dataviz shows the "Central England" average temperature for periods ranging from 1 day (weather) to 30 years (climate). This shows the climate signal emerging. Note the varying y axis that covers the range of the data.

little mosaic post-processing effect to overlay some of my volumetric raymarching work

the tricky part here was to make:
- each pixel have rounded corners
- divide the screen in 8x8 blocks and have those feature more rounded corners

Inspired by x.com/misaki_mofu/...

performance pro tip. if some loading interaction is slow, try removing the spinner. sometimes a spinner makes things slower.

i don’t mean just perception-wise. spinners can actually eat CPU
