Instead of rewriting Bun, maybe Anthropic should have thrown some tokens at finishing Hurd.

I am not sure what point the author is even trying to make here. On the one hand, he seems to complain about how AI has virtually made the traditionally PhD thesis obsolete, but on…

Not really though, since the result of the prompt is not deterministic. It greatly depends on the model, the version, the harness, even time of day if the provider's infrastructure…

Almost Microsoft material.

This had nothing much to do with AI in particular though. The issue was that there had previously been a military installation at the same location, but the US military did not upd…

They are, which is why this pearl clutching over particles from cookware is a bit silly.

> China wants the US economy to flounder. Why would they possibly want their largest customer to flounder?

Well, the "About the Author" section should probably just be a link to claude.ai.

You misunderstand Musk's motivation. This was never about money for him, but about control over a key technology. One of the main reasons he exited OpenAI was the fact that the oth…

Founding a start-up with VC money, dumping the bag into someone else's lap, and then riding off into the sunset is a very different skill set from actually growing and running a co…

It's too many releases now. At some points, the numbers just become noise. I think most people will stick to the LTS releases, but even those come out every two years.

The rule does exist, but in all of World Cup history, it has been used once for this purpose over 50 years ago. During a tournament, it is understood that a red card means an autom…

Zuckerberg was never a great strategist. The only good strategic decisions that he was ever made were the acquisitions of Instagram and Whatsapp. Almost everything else was either …

For Meta, it was never really clear why they even were in the AI race in the first place, since pretty much all of their products are B2C and don't really profit from integrating p…

Oracle has a huge, entrenched enterprise business that will keep them alive almost indefinitely, just as Microsoft does.

> it enables people to transact monetary value bypassing for-profit operators such as western union and paypal You are not even getting rid of that, you are just replacing them wit…

And everyone will bully you on the group ride if you show up with this.

Software Engineering may have very well entered its own Eternal September.

It's far too expensive for that with how cheap renewables are making electricity. France is already struggling with that.

I mean, the only reason they did it was to be able to comply with the requirements of the test. But the reality is that every once in a while you have a scandal like this or someth…

German companies, especially old school industrial ones like VW, have a very hard time understanding open platforms. The view everything through the lense of liability and complian…

That would imply that the EU has the ability to build its own, competitive AI ecosystem. At the moment, it's mostly just Mistral, and they have been way behind SOTA for a while now…

Anthropic spent months going on about how incredibly powerful and dangerous their models are and how access to them needs to be restricted. Now they are getting what they seemingly…

> Instead of complaining on the sidelines, I'm getting a shit ton of work done. Nah, you are just producing a bunch of slop and hope that nobody notices.

No, it's not. If Debian had a community-maintained repo of additional packages, the same thing could happen there. The fundamental problem is having something that has very loose o…
