In this article, we will talk about classical computation: the kind of computation typically found in an undergraduate Computer Science course on Algorithms and Data Structures [1]. Think shortest path-finding, sorting, clever ways to break problems down into simpler problems, incredible ways to organise data for efficient retrieval and updates.

This essay first appeared in Reboot. Credulous, breathless coverage of “AI existential risk” (abbreviated “x-risk”) has reached the mainstream. Who could have foreseen that the smallcaps onomatopoeia “ꜰᴏᴏᴍ” — both evocative of and directly derived from children’s cartoons —

Dear readers, I was triggered to write this post because ChatGPT apologies way too much, takes too long to get into the meat of an answer, and I wanted to fix that. This came up because like many of you, I’ve been trying to incorporate ChatGPT into my workflows — both at my job, and […]

The view transitions API has been sweeping the web development world lately, and for good reason. It streamlines the process of animating between two page states, which is especially useful for page transitions. However, until now, you couldn’t easily use this API in a SvelteKit app, since it was difficult to slot into the right place in the navigation lifecycle. SvelteKit 1.24 brought a new <a href="/docs/k

Last month, over 200 people got together in my hometown of Cambridge, Ontario to hang out, talk shop, and get a peek behind the curtain at some of the new stuff we've been working on.
Invalidation is a key technique all major browsers use to make for fast rendering and smooth interactions, but it’s also famously difficult. Chapter 16 explains how to make it work right.
When Mike Marshall and I started Lexalytics back in 2003 as a content management startup, little did we know that the two of us would still be here all these years later.

When the initial version of Svelte v3 was released four years ago, it included the single-page documentation that folks have been familiar with. That documentation structure had stayed the same as Svelte's API surface increased steadily and more details were added. As a result, the single page got larger and larger to the point where it was becoming difficult to find things. The community had been asking for a revamp, and now it's here! Meet the new svelte.

The Next.js team is focused on performance, stability, and developer experience for the upcoming months.
Humility, a designer’s essential value—that has a nice ring to it. What about humility, an office manager’s essential value? Or a dentist’s? Or a librarian’s? They all sound great. When humility is our guiding light, the path is always open for fulfillment, evolution, connection, and engagement. In this chapter, we’re going to talk about why. That said, this is a book for designers, and to that end, I’d like to start with a story—well, a journey, really. It’s a personal one, and I’m going to mak
DeepMind Robotics published the paper "RoboCat: A Self-Improving Foundation Agent for Robotic Manipulation (PDF)" earlier this week. I read the 50-page report and summarize in this post what I found to be the most interesting results from the paper. Some of my claims and inferences in this blog post are speculative because they draw from my experience working on similar projects (BC-Z, SayCan, MGDT).
After months in the making, we're excited to announce the stable release of Svelte 4. Time flies - Svelte 3 was released more than four years ago! In JavaScript-framework-time, that's eons. Svelte’s freshness has persisted throughout, but Node.js and browser APIs have evolved during that time and today we’re updating Svelte to take advantage of some of these improvements. Svelte 4 is mainly a maintenance release, bumping minimum version requirements and tightening up the design in spec

When I started blogging and podcasting back in 2009 topics like wisdom were near-invisible, if not considered irrelevant to the conversations of AI, transhumanism, genetic engineering, and human enhancement. So bringing ethics to the technology conversation became my longstanding goal and unique selling proposition for both Singularity Weblog and Singularity.FM. At the time, most conversations […]
