This is FUD. Java has many open source implementations and nobody needs to deal with Oracle.
Well except Google that got sued for US$8.8 Billion because they decided to use specific API signatures but provide their own implementation...?!
A lot of people seem confused about this acquisition because they think of Bun as a node.js compatible bundler / runtime and just compare it to Deno / npm. But I think its a really smart move if you think of where Bun has been pushing into lately which is a kind of cloud-native self contained runtime (S3 API, SQL, streaming, etc). For an agent like Claude Code this trajectory is really interesting as you are creating…
I don't get the whole 'cloud' thing for AI agents. It feels forced. Who is actually using these services?

Yep. Remember when "Open"AI took a bunch of grant money and then turned for-profit? And kept their fraudulent name.
That’s kind of why Anthropic became a separate company in the first place though isn’t it? Dario Amodei was former head of research at OpenAI and left along with 6 or 7 others to form Anthropic.
I hope they won't be as douchey.

Finding this comment interesting, parent comment didn't suggest any past association but it seemingly uses project reference as pivot point to do various outgroup counter signaling / neg bun?
I understand the concern, but really? I found this quote enough to offer proper comments: > had a vague idea that "Zig people" were generally "Software You Can Love" or "Handmade Software Movement" types Folks at Bun are "Zig people" for obvious reasons, and a link was made with Handmade software. This happened multiple times before with Bun specifically, so my response is not a "pivot" of any kind. I've highlighted…

This is going to be a HN Classic.
This is how I found out about HN Classic! https://news.ycombinator.com/classic
Clever!

> C#'s speed advantage over JS among many other things would make C# the main language Nobody cares about this, JS is plenty fast for LLM needs. If maximum performance was necessary, you're better off using Go because of fast compiler and better performance.
>If maximum performance was necessary, you're better off using Go because of fast compiler and better performance. That's not true, if anything, C# is faster and also compiles fast enough. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

more people should have such a healthy approach not only to llms but to life in general. Same reason I partake less and less in online discourse: its so tribal and filled with anger that its just not worth it to contribute anymore. Learning how to be in the middle did wonders to me as a programmer and I think as a person as well.
Personally I hate this “in the middle” as it’s so relative you can shape to fit your narrative. For example: what’s in the middle for programming? For me 0 is writing 0 and 1. For others 0 is making the nand ports. And 100 is ai llm vibe. So 50/middle would be what exactly? It all depends. Same for anything really. Some people I know keep saying not 8 not 80 to mean the middle. Like what’s in the middle for amount of…
Cyanide has an LD50 (50% chance of death) in the 1-2 mg/kg range when taken orally. So middle for taking cyanide is probably 1.5mg/kg. 90mg for someone 60kg.
Sadly the middle ground in other topics is less easy to define!

> What’s the middle for taking cyanide ? 1g? 1kg? Cyanide has an LD50 (50% chance of death) in the 1-2 mg/kg range when taken orally. So middle for taking cyanide is probably 1.5mg/kg. 90mg for someone 60kg. Sadly the middle ground in other topics is less easy to define!
Bottom is 0? Or is 1mg? Or what?
Top is killing a human by dose? Killing an elephant dose? Make you feel dizzy?
What’s too much? What’s being in the middle?
You see, it’s a stupid logic “in the middle”. The point is being in the middle or moderate is not always “good”.
Also it’s hard to define. Tbh only non logical people throw words like “in the middle” etc

It kinda reads like a case of survivorship bias. He is the one in a million to reach the good ending, despite starting with the wrong choice; though in this case, the wrong choice brought him on the road to the good ending. Now the real question is, does the game loads significant better now, or does the performance still suck? In which case it might be more an excessive case of yak-shaving. And if yes, when can we e…
If the output generated by his attempts at making a better game is a much faster node runtime, then even if the game is still not usable does that matter? The end result is still an improvement over something that existed before. The game was just a catalyst. Isn’t every success story really an example of survivorship bias?
No, survivorship bias (in this context) means to wrongly see a minor subgroup as the majority. But the successful subgroup is not always a minority, or falsely labelled.

It’s relevant enough that I feel I can roll out this bash.org classic… Saying that Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders EDIT: someone has (much to my joy) made an archive of bash.org so here is a link[1], but I must say I’m quite jealous of today’s potential 1/10,000[2] who will discover bash.org from my comment!

wait - how do you search the quotes??
seems to work. relies on that individual quote being indexed, and google SERPs feeling like returning full results at the moment, of course. when the latter fails, I've found success with site: queries on Bing (of all places.)
