Yes, "their" refers to Bun's code, not the Zig compiler's code. Fuzzili is a fuzzing engine for JavaScript, so integrating it into Bun means that Fuzzili is fuzzing Bun.[0] From the Bun post[1] > We fuzz Bun's r

Not GP, but just being smaller makes it easier to achieve reliability. Like if you're a git forge with 100 similar customers, you can likely achieve an order of magnitude better reliability than GitHub, who is trying to serve millions

The target audience of the app is me and my wife. This is a "home-cooked meal" app.[0] If it's useful to other people, I'm glad, but I'm primarily building it for myself for the pleasure of building and the satisfac

Oh, I'm glad! Yeah, I don't think you'll find it a red-pill kind of book at all. I know what you mean about books like The 48 Laws of Power feeling like the world is 100% zero sum, so everything is about dominating or outpl

This is blowing my mind. I asked Kimi K2.6 to write a blog post in the style of James Mickens.[0] Then I fed the output to Opus 4.7 and asked it who the likely author was, and it correctly identified it as an imitation of James Mickens[1]
