Hi all, is there a bug in decompression/compression streaming on all browsers at the moment?

Hello friends, I know it depends... But I prefer using `rem` for units instead of `em` for CSS units. The reason is that I want most sizing to be relative to the font-size in root. LLMs seem to lean towards using `em`. Any ideas?

Nice work! I know the FF option works it's just that it doesn't show up on the screen capture.

I am excited to announce that I successfully migrated my website from Hugo to SvelteKit (SSG) !!! ๐ŸŽ‰

I loved using Hugo, but I'm a lot more comfortable with SvelteKit.

I also used `opencode `AI tooling, not to write the code, but for some prompting help.

What are you learning? :)

I love this little trick. I implemented this similarly at work. Only concern is the accessibility with lack of button. Thoughts?

Any student pilots out there?

Today, I tried flying in challenging conditions but flew one circuit, then announced a full stop. I was thinking I should he pushing myself, but on the other hand I don't want to ruin my confidence.

I hope I made the right decision.

I'm thinking about switching my blog from hugo to Sveltekit SSG.

Have you learnt anything interesting from agents coding?

Haha same. No idea what an airline pilot goes though - I only have surface level imagination.

I can only go by "Understanding Air France 447" by Bill Palmer where we goes through automation for pilots. I have some highlights but not as good as the entire context of the book.

... is that their skills will degrade over time. That's why it's important to hand fly from time to time.

We can think of programming the same way. LLM agents are good and can be a force multiplier; but it's probably a good idea to turn it off once in a while. Thoughts?

I think an interesting thing to think about is airline pilots and autopilot.

Autopilot is a useful tool (imagine hand flying a plane for an extended period of time and the world load). Autopilot definitely reduces the workload and makes flying safer.

However, a risk of autopilot to pilots...

Thanks for answering these questions. I will give it a go!

Sorry if the questions were a bit silly haha.

5. Will I still be coding? I like coding.

1. Is AI evil? (joke kind of..)
2. How can I use AI to elevate my skills and not become stupid (i.e. I have been a bit sceptical of AI; but I want to approach this with an open mind)?
3. Should I run models locally?
4. What are some models that are ethically trained (who cares lol?)?
