Oh, yay! I didn’t think my LoopConf talk recording was going to be free to watch. But it’s out on YouTube.
This was an epic labour of love. I’m so glad I can share it with you.

Got to the part of "temperature" and I'm aware that a higher temperature == less predictable but never knew why.
Turns out it's very simple. Before the "score" for a set of tokens is turned into a probability distribution it's divided by the temperature. Higher values "flatten" the distribution.

The latest release of Inertia brings support for View Transitions! 🔥
The View Transitions API is a browser feature that lets you animate between pages. It can be a simple cross-fade, and you can even animate specific elements from one page to the next.

A couple of things that stand out:
1. The fact that 1.5% of New Yorkers fund 33% of the budget tells you inequality is out of control.
2. Kathy actually mentions not being able to make up the diff in taxing the middle class more. As if that's a consideration but taxing the wealthy more isn't.

If you're also considering self-hosting things on your own VPS, I've just published my first ever post on the @ngrok.com blog talking about just that!
