Highlights from the week

Old Dogs, new CSS Tricks

A lot of new CSS features have shipped in the last years, but actual usage is still low. While there are many different reasons for the slow adoption, I think one of the biggest barriers are our own brains.

Quick question: how many of these have you actively used in production?

  • Container Queries
  • Style Queries
  • CSS Layers
  • Subgrid
  • Native Selector Nesting
  • Anchor Positioning
  • :has, :is, :where
  • Logical Properties
  • Scroll-Linked Animations
  • View Transitions

Indexing all of Wikipedia, on a laptop

In November, Cohere released a dataset containing all of Wikipedia, chunked and embedded to vectors with their multilingual-v3 model.

Computing this many embeddings yourself would cost in the neighborhood of $5000, so the public release of this dataset makes creating a semantic, vector-based index of Wikipedia practical for an individual for the first time.

Mates, that's all for this week!
I hope it was useful.
