    I don't see how Bun is "ruined". In fact, I personally see Bun as example of the opposite — Rust rewrite seems like a huge success across the board. I'm personally using the 1.4 ca…

    Have there ever been a comprehensive account from a GitHub insider on why their reliability tanked so hard since the MSFT acquisition? I'm genuinely curious what changed, what thei…

    0.5t/s is still too slow even for email. For a moderately large inquiry (1MTok output, let's ignore the 4k context window limitation for now) it'll take the model around 23 days or…

    Not that I disagree, but to play Devil's advocate for a second... I think DHH was trying to refer to junkies and homeless people most of whom happen to be immigrants. The immigrati…

    Sure, but I'm not sure allowing AI agents to act as abuse sponges for troubled people enabling them to spiral into their unhealthy habits is good idea that would lead to great outc…
