emlearn VS htmx

> My big gripe, and for obvious reasons, is that we need to step away from cloud-based inference, and it doesn't seem like anyone's working on that.

I think there are steps being taken in this direction (check out [1] and [2] for interesting lightweight transpile / ad-hoc training projects) but there is a lack of centralized community for these constrained problems.

Examples: Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) for anomaly detection or clustering Mahalanobis distance (EllipticEnvelope) for anomaly detection Decision trees and tree ensembles (Random Forest, ExtraTrees) Feed-forward Neural Networks (Multilayer Perceptron, MLP) for classification Gaussian Naive Bayes for classification

https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn is a ML inference engine for microcontrollers and embedded systems, allowing to deploy models to any platform with a C99 compiler. Has also been used for network traffic analysis as a Linux kernel module, and embedded in Android apps.

The C64 has 64 kB of RAM. That is more than many contemporary microcontrollers. Using something like https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn allows to generate portable C code of ML models for such targets. Should be able to classify digits (MNIST) no problem on such hardware. Assuming there is a workable C compiler available.

I built emlearn, a Machine Learning inference engine for microcontrollers and embedded systems. It allows converting traditional ML models to simple and portable C99, following best practices in embedded software (no dynamic allocations etc). https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn

When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.

I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

As described on htmx.org: "htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext"

Apart from the source code itself, the repo's README also gives a bit more details about the various packages I used.

Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.

✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.

Apparently it changed from 2-clause BSD: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e16f1865a494b6...

(The zero clause license drops the requirements for preserving the copyright notice when distributing)

It would be a sin not to start with something that prides itself on being the front-end library of peace. HTMX skyrocketed in popularity in 2023, gaining most of its GitHub stars during the past year. HTMX is not your average JS framework. If you work in HTMX, you will spend most of your time in the world of hypermedia, looking at web development from a completely different pair of eyes as compared to our usual JS-heavy outlook on modern web development. HTMX leverages the power of the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), enabling developers to access browser features directly from HTML, instead of using Javascript.
