Rails Dashboards that scale with SQL and `dry-struct`

Crunch data with SQL, return JSON, wrap it in type-safe DryStructs, and swap in Faker or plug into a data warehouse.

Good Morning @railsconf! Let's make the final one a blast!

Do I know anyone working at #Gitlab? I recently apply for a backend position and was rejected.

I'm fine with that (it's life) but I'm curious to have some reasons because I believe that I match the expectations

Today I learn that it is possible to call Ruby's lambdas using the triple equal operator.

I use this capacity to create nice one liners without redundant `.call`

@marcoroth glad that you like my idea, I will try to open issues to support each of the a11y supported linter rules on Herb repo

@marcoroth that may represent a lot, but I would appreciate linter rules to enforce accessibility good practices would be helpful.

It’s something that I appreciated a lot when working on EmberJS projects to be guided on the a11y path

As a next step for Herb, I'm happy to announce the release of the Herb Language Server and VS Code extension.

Built on top of Herb's HTML-aware ERB parser to bring diagnostics, instant feedback, and structural awareness to HTML+ERB files.

Still early, but a solid first step towards better HTML+ERB tooling. Feedback is very welcome!

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Seen on Bluesky:

Guy explains to CEO of Signal (messaging) that it's going to add "AI" to the service. She says no. He insists, not knowing or caring who he's talking down to.

@mcSlibinas @ulfi @dangillmor How dense are you guys?? She specifically said no, and we all know the only "usefulness" of these "tools" is deception and exploitation. No. There will not be "AI" in Signal.

@dalias @ulfi @dangillmor because she is smart. And The Signal Technology Foundation is smart. And AI is dumb.

But if AI will get smart in future?

Every claim from every bussinnes, (profit, non profit) is just a claim.
You can believe if you choose to believe.

Show threadCassandrichJun 18
@mcSlibinas @ulfi @dangillmor No. There is no such thing as it "getting smart". The entire idea is the opposite of smart. Especially in the context of privacy and messaging. You absolutely do not want anyone or anything "smart" reading your confidential messages and acting on their contents. That's contrary to the entire purpose.

@dalias @mcSlibinas @ulfi @dangillmor also, signals claim to faim is their thorough end to end encryption. I can't see any way a LLM would be able to improve the app without scaring away all users, because to work with the text, that end to end encryption would be compromised.

@mcSlibinas @dalias @ulfi @dangillmor the problem with those tasks would be to effectively run an llm on a phone (which would be needed to not break e2e encryption). It would drastically decrease the performance of the app.
Of course, there is the possibility that llms suddenly becomes much smaller and therefor viable to run on phones, but it just seems highly unlikely.

@cascheranno @psperling @dalias @ulfi @dangillmor nice explanation, thank you!

I just used basic principle: AI is a tool (now it's a bad one, harmfull and dangerous). Anyway, it's a tool. So you can cook the dinner or burn da house based on how you use that tool.

Let's forget that - AI will be in keyboards, spellcheck and other things, so google can spy in signal before encrypting message.
Maybe smart AI of the future can prevent this? 🤔

Show threadD2Jun 18

@mcSlibinas @psperling @dalias @ulfi @dangillmor oh, FFS.

Did you ask an LLM for the definition of integration and get AI slop back?!

“____ is a tool therefore it must be used by everything” is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen called a base principle. Especially adjacent to a “boots for snek” homily.

@light @ulfi to check if keyboard sends typed text to outside? Or store on device to acces later? Maybe screen rendering have screenshooter as windows have?

Maybe some protective AI to determine scammers or ICE?

@trochee @dangillmor @darwinwoodka I was debating whether he was just trying to be a troll for attention or whether he's really convinced he knows better than Meredith Whittaker (because of his gender, I assume). The idea that it can't be a non-profit because... developers have to get paid? really sealed the deal.
Show threadIrenes (many)Jun 17
@aud @trochee @dangillmor @darwinwoodka right, like, speaking as an executive of a much smaller non-profit, sure, non-profits exist within capitalism and at the pleasure of the state, but the transparency rules are still a meaningful protection. Signal seeks grassroots funding (we couldn't immediately find a report on how much of their funding is individual small donors), which is also important.

@ireneista @trochee @dangillmor @darwinwoodka it's a well known FACT that NO ONE WAS PAID ANY MONEY EVER before Adam Smith wrote "The Wealth Of Nations"

@aud @trochee @dangillmor @darwinwoodka @ireneista He wants to be the guy that "told you so" (his own words).

If you look at his history he has some pretty strong convictions, among them: LLMs are overhyped, and Trump is bad (so far so good).

But recently he's been involved in protests and stuff and seems to have been led into some cognitive dissonance about Signal. Organizers are using it, and he can't square that with it being a mistake to use it for national security.

@ireneista @trochee @dangillmor @darwinwoodka I'm always Cautious Kittens when it comes to people at the head of stuff (positions of authority can be corrupting! It's a whole thing), but Signal w/ Meredith in charge is so much better than what it would have been with Moxie. I was just linking her awesome article on the intertwinted history of computing and slave labour to some "no politics in tech!!!111" doofus earlier. I wish I could meet her but yes, she definitely seems awesome and if she isn't the real deal, then she has certainly spent a lot of personal time and money on doing the kind of work "the real deal" would do, which would be a confusing thing to do if she weren't.
