What exactly is the concern here by Headway? Are they afraid AI deep fakes will be receiving therapy?
Obviously they are doing data collection and selling training data of emotional conversations to AI labs. But what's their stated justification? I can't figure it out.
This made me LOL. They keep trying to fleece us by nerfing functionality and then adding it back next release. It’s an abusive relationship at this point.
This was my reading too. Interesting idea, but it took 10 pages of fluff to get to it and I didn't even believe the final idea when we got there. I started off reading the first part and thought he would get to the part where he realized he was managing context wrong. Never got there, instead he thought it was about the shape of the prompt.
Yes, this was super annoying to read. It was some core ideas and it was expanded into a way too long essay that boiled down to this guy doesn't know how to run agents.
There are a lot of missing parts to the story. If we assume the author left out everything that made them look bad, and including only what makes them look good then the result is a very incomplete feeling article.
For example: they asked for guidance and then the very next thing is them being fired. How did they respond to the coworker? Something is off here - the coworker who had messaged him about non-work topics TWO days in a row - then immediately reported him for his reply. What?
My apologies. I was responding to the fact that animals and humans have base instincts that steer us towards bad food choices or over-stimulations. I was considering those instincts as the incentives that can't be changed.
On a macro scale, yes I agree that we should revolt against campaigns designed to exploit our animal nature. However on a personal basis, I do believe we owe it to ourselves to take radical responsibility over our own reactions to those things.
I noticed that too, I had to re-read it a few times to make sure I was understanding it properly, it seemed so out of place. Then I read the rest of the article and realized this guy has zero perspective on anything.
I see a good case for my company to use Lit for creating complex components such as highly interactive panels/widgets to be shared between React/Angular apps in our large ecosystem. However the decision was: 1. Prefer sharing plain JS/TS over framework code so try that first and 2. if the component is so complex and tricky to get right, it probably needs to be re-implemented in each framework anyways (or some sort of wrapper)
My secondary concern with Lit is the additional complexity of using shadow and light DOM together in long lived React/Angular apps. Adding a new paradigm for 75+ contributors to consider has a high bar for acceptance.
I just evaluated Lit for work and while we didn't go with it, it was very nice. I love the base custom elements API regardless of using Lit or not, turns out that's all you really need to make intricate UIs that feel seamless.
