Very clearly. Even if you have no qualms with AI I don't understand why people think writing in this cliched style is ok. On the other hand people thought it was fine to use cliched titles like "The unreasonable effectiveness of..

Yeah it makes sense for their use case. I meant it was an odd thing to have if you were using it as a general purpose language like Lua.

The submission is "Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac" and on the page it says "Nativ puts frontier intelligence on your desk."

That's not what people are normally referring to when they say "frontier models". It means the most capable models full stop. Not the most capable that you can run locally.

I wish there was something better than Lua and just as "obvious" a choice. Static types, real arrays, zero-based indexing, etc. Closest thing I've seen so far is Roto: https://roto.docs.nlnetlabs.nl/en/st

It's written by Claude already so it probably wouldn't make any difference I guess?

From the photos they mostly look a bit like light SSOA. Obviously some devs overdo it, but that's not SSOA's fault. And we know SSAO isn't physically based. Of course it's not going to perfectly match reality.

The issue isn't that they haven't added a load of modern features; it's that they never fixed the old janky broken features.

Yeah I'm also wondering what the point of Bun is when Deno already exists. Especially since it added Node compatibility. Genuine question, why should anyone use Bun if they're already using Deno?

Presumably they don't pay $500k anymore...

Umm yeah because you didn't rewrite a million line codebase in Rust in two weeks. Obviously "regressions" is not a great measure (how serious were they?) but 19 seems pretty decent to me.

The effort of gaining trust over an existing project isn't even really required. All you need to do is monitor when popular GitHub repos get archived. That's usually when the original authors don't want to work on it any more

The world has changed since the 2000s. We already have many digital IDs. It's a no brainer to consolidate them.

The demo reel for this release is seriously impressive. The video editor is also starting to get good. Still pretty buggy though.

I don't think their motivation was primarily user-visible stuff. They backed themselves into a corner by forking Zig, and also were fed up with fixing memory errors. You wouldn't notice either of those if you were a user, unless y

How it is made is often a strong indicator of whether or not the work is good. You don't find many literary masterpieces scrawled in permanent market on a toilet wall.

USB devices can also do this now. I have a Razor microphone which is otherwise a great device and requires no software to function. At soon as you plug it in to windows it tries to install some Razor crapware. It's not quite as bad bec

The most common response I see is "unfortunately this problem is impossible for us to fix because I can't be bother.. err I mean because of these technical reasons. Yes definitely that."
