It sounds like you open this the same way you open a card in your wallet while your device is still locked

Ideally it should *only* be accessible while your phone is unlocked, and anyone with more concern than that should already be turning their devices off entirely or not bringing them

If you’re benchmarking your function down to the microsecond then maybe it matters, otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only time I’ve ever cared about this was when writing very optimized encoders/decoders for binary formats

The singing and production is very good no doubt, but like… you could give the best performance ever of ‘Baby Shark’ or ‘1-877-Kars-4-Kids’ and they would still drive me mad

I know lots of other frameworks shipped similar APIs long before React so I’m looking around to see if anyone has already attempted to build libraries for this purpose

Even the environment aspects of AI

Tech has been unregulated in its abuse of the environment for a long time and it’s driven by a lot more than just AI

And they’ve been promising it will get better soon with just a liiiiittle bit more innovation for years

More environmental regulation is needed

Yeah everyone is hearing about AI in the workplace right now, and everyone has coworkers or bosses that have fallen for the hype of AI

Take a moment to realize how little it’s actually changed the work that needs to be done. How things are progressing largely at the same pace they always have

You see stories of college students not being prepared for college and turning to AI?

They’ve been in school for the last 12 years… they were not using AI the entire time

What did just happen is that they did high school during covid lockdowns which fucked their education up horribly

Look past the headlines about the actual trends happening

“CEO Lays Of 1000s, Says They Will Be Replaced With AI”

Mass layoffs have become more and more common for decades. They were going to lay those people off, they just want investors/the public to think it’s part of some vision

Making people afraid of AI is part of the grift of AI

It helps create this image that it’s more powerful than it actually is

Or that it’s inevitable, that everyone is betting everything they’ve got on AI even if it’s going to make everything worse

It’s important to recognize that AI really hasn’t changed the world that much. People are still working, going to school, paying mortgages, making art

It feels like these things are getting worse because they’ve been getting worse for a very long time

Covid set everything on fire, not AI

I don’t love the pattern, but I would prefer they all worked well and consistently instead of what we have now which is every third website becomes unusable on mobile if you open a keyboard

I can see it both ways for backdrops

The reason for having a semi-transparent backdrop is so when you open up a dialog you have a sense of place and know you haven't lost your state

But maybe someone is really zoomed in & doesn't understand that a dialog is open if they just see the backdrop
