I think this move is significant for two reasons. The first is that the Ankler was one of Substack’s largest publishers and early success stories. While its founding technically predates Substack — I’m pretty sure it started out on Mailchimp — it really came to prominence after Richard Rushfield mi

🚨🚨🚨 PSA: if you were using the Svelte Claude marketplace: we've renamed the repo which means that unfortunately you would not get updates if you added the marketplace as `sveltejs/mcp`. Please remove the old marketplace and re-install `sveltejs/ai-tools`...it comes with a surprise 👀 🚨🚨🚨

Must-read. Eliot is spot-on. Notes: 1. Every media consumer I've seen wants a truthful, quality, diverse media diet. (Yes, even *those* ones.) 2. But base motivations (curiosity, status, anger, mood) shape behaviour. Aspirations come from System 1 but we live in System 2. So we need to align them

Mightily tempted to build 'study LLM behaviours as a service'. So many of these scientific papers are literally just evals. 1. We wrote a set of questions 2. We assigned scores to types of responses 3. We asked the questions to a set of LLMs and scored the answers 4. Journal article

On the other hand: - Friends who are good at writing React are very productive with LLMs. - But (1) you need to be good at React in the first place (2) you can't ask it to write something unfamiliar. - We should help LLMs unlock similar productivity for people who can already write Svelte.
