There are always going to be reasons for human review of code written by a LLM. Furthermore, for both safety and control, we will want human readable code from LLMs. These "needs" and "wants" can't be eliminated, at

Very good example. Translating the answers is not the same as having to think up the correct answers.

Unfortunately, many of these "protections" don't know what is a bot or a human. Many clueless websites are often just blocking huge swaths of legitimate readers and customers.

It's really surprising that natural plant-based gums have so many microplastics in them too. Maybe there is something else going on about the manufacturing process.

Zig very much could of moved all of their GitHub issues over to Codeberg, to be resolved, but chose not to do so. Thus left thousands of issues unsolved and stranded. This maneuver was arguably obfuscated by the anti-LLM stance and finger p

I disagree with that, because the teenager should be the parent's responsibility, regardless of how smart or savvy they are. Parents should be talking to their children, communicating what their and society's expectations are. If

Unknown associations and free speech are too scary. Neuralink and continual surveillance for the win. Pre-crime units at the ready.

Well, if it is some gibberish between you and friends the state doesn't understand, they will have you silently and continually investigated by a pre-crime unit. You and your friends could be committing "thought-crime".

It is definitely not really "for the children", when legislation is aimed at all adults, and not specifically for parents. It is parents who should be responsible for the actions of their children and given the software tools to m

It is quite obvious that Zig is pre 1.0 with thousands of stranded unsolved issues (per their GitHub repo). A review of Zig hype gives the strong impression it was created by being relentlessly and suspiciously pushed on HN, beyond logic or

Especially if given near unlimited tokens to burn through, because any level of success fuels the LLM hype machine, which brings ROI. > It’s engineering. Significantly, but not totally. The marketing value can't be ignored.

Whether incidentally or intentionally, that rings true.

I don't know about that. Zig's bdfl got significant mainstream press attention for his anti-LLM stance. Definitely enough attention for various LLM vendors to notice.

by baranul 5mo ago
A good point. The business and marketing aspect of this situation can not be overlooked. The rewrite in Rust was a clear marketing opportunity, to maintain the LLM hype, that team Bun warmly embraced.

> Then there is the whole point that Zig is not yet 1.0, and who knows what will still change until then. Seems like their luck finally ran out. For the longest time, they were getting all kinds of passes, as if a post 1.0 language, that

My description was pretty much on point. The authors of Bun appeared to have grown tired of Zig's "memory leaks, segfaults, and other stability issues". The statements (check their twitter/X) are not at all shocking, con

Zig is a pre 1.0 language, subject to many breaking changes and has thousands of (stranded) issues on its GitHub. It was always a risky proposition to use Zig, unless those persons were philosophically committed to help the language develop

Google has proven to not be a company to trust about privacy. It's their business model, along with selling data. A few good will public relations moves is likely nothing compared to the unseen dirt and deals they are doing.
