To be fair, almost zero people praise the dx for ffmpeg. but the utility and value is so massively high, that it overcomes the famously complex dx of ffmpeg. I'm not even insulting ffmpeg, if it does a million things, then there are go

I've built an entire app (and Swift UI companion app) to run my consulting business. It's my chief of staff that I use daily. It checks my emails, keeps an eye on client relationships, finds opportunities, helps me qualify them, e

Mythos useful for infiltrating networks of China and Iran? Anyone who’s read anything about Mythos would’ve said the same thing on day one. Didn’t need some anonymous vague source to tell you that.

Or Astro? or Nuxt.js? That's why I use NextJS... it seems to be the clear winner for React (at the moment at least). Tanstack Start seems to be gaining steam. At least many are in the react family though, so switching is less of a pain

I think Apple Music (the web version) runs on ember. I thought the main LinkedIn website runs on ember? I can't tell anymore cuz so much of it is obfuscated.

You’re so right. I had the same experience early on finding elixir developers so I just thought, I don’t care anymore, I’m just going to try to hire smart people. And so the 2-3 devs we had working on elixir learned on the job just fine. Bu

I loved ember for years. Even attended EmberConf in portland around 2015. In fact, I'm just weeks away from retiring my last ember codebase that was in production and worked great for a decade (but I haven't updated in 5 years, s

No I actually do think this is AI generated. I came here to say the same. Brokovich might not know it. But her web people certainly used AI to build this site. From the Emojis, cards, to the single colored left border.

But aren't they able to do incremental builds and separated x64/arm64? They know which OS version is requesting an update, at least the version number part.

Yeah I’m honestly not sure why macOS updates seem to be so huge. Often gigabytes. Do they actually have thousands of changes, so they basically ship out new versions of almost all system libraries? Or is it that they don’t have good diffing

My argument wasn't that the test suite was perfect, my argument was that this is far from "YOLO" - this is a textbook example of being able to do bigger refactors, etc when you have an extensive test suite.

You can go read all the details on Jarred's X account - including the progress, how it was thought out, strategy, that they're aware that it looks like zig still, etc etc etc. Speaking of environment though, everyone neglects to m

Mostly unfounded in my opinion. They took the _exact_ same strategy that go did when they moved from C Go to a Go based compiler. First they essentially wrote a translator that preserved the C idioms (so it wasn't idiomatic go) until t

Yep, it's one thing if there was some project that saw severe regressions in Bun.rs and actually showed data about regressions. But it's been available for a week. And so far, seems like crickets on actual data on any regressions.

by atonse 5mo ago
YOLO? Bun has an extensive test suite and this implementation passed the test suite. Can we at least try to be a bit more accurate and less hyperbolic? I will continue to use Bun because the same people that made bun have made this decision

Not really, this seems to be a very traditional "we need more cores, captain!" and "here's a datacenter with cores" rental. Anthropic has grown 80x this year (according to their CEO). They are probably desperate to

LOL thank you domain squatters. I can't think of any other reason why startups often always have the most ridiculous names.

It would mean it was done carelessly if it was done by a human in a week. Or if the test suite was sloppy. But it was done by an AI in a week. We have to change our perception of time with AI. An AI can read war and peace in half a second.

That's why they've merged it into canary so they can continue working on it.

I would do the same but my issue is that the models are changing so fast, so I don't want to be left out of the next model cuz it only runs on an even newer GPU or something like that. But maybe my limited understanding is thinking of

I have full faith, it's the same really smart people that built bun (Jarred and team) that have spearheaded this and are running it. So I have no reason to believe that this was done carelessly. That said, I'm still shocked and am

I would agree with you on most situations (like 1040 personal income taxes especially). But in this particular tax credit, there's no way for the gov to know automatically what percentage of payroll was spent in qualified R&D expen

I have a similar claude story (much less money though), with the IRS R&D tax credit. The auditing firm initially said we qualify for $0. But then I had claude analyze past R&D reports and our expenses and it found the problem. The a

But both things can be true. It could be a huge leap (see Firefox’s example) but also find almost nothing in an already well maintained and audited codebase, and that could mean there isn’t much to find.

This is where I think either realtime transcription (or just in time followed by deleting everything) will be an end state. Especially real-time transcription where the AI actually takes notes (instead of just recording every word and has a

I had a totally different take. The fact that Mythos found only one vulnerability is testament to how solid curl is, not how bad Mythos is. Look at the Firefox blog post where they found something like 400 (or more) findings. I have no doub
