I love JustWatch and most of the time it's given me the answer I need.

I still can't quite tell if the AI hate is being amplified by the media (like datacenter, water use, etc) to just find a boogeyman to sell ads/engagement. That's my theory because we just see constant waves of attempts to find one. Until the water stuff was mostly debunked, that dominated for a while. Then it's datacenters and electricity prices... That's starting to get debunked a bit (not as much of a slam dunk as the water-use nonsense was), so then you'll start to see something else.

Because in reality, I'm seeing a mix in my group of friends with younger kids. They are, at a macro-level nervous-curiosity about the unknown (future of jobs, their kids' job market future, is this going to make us all dumber, etc), but are also trying the various tools and benefitting from them and acknowledging that too.

Interesting. I will do more research on this, thanks. But at the end of the day, even though it's tough for us to see the PLA poop, etc from our prints (I still generally don't like it), my point is that hobbyist plastic waste is basically negligible and making nearly zero difference.

I don't want people to see plastic waste from 3D printing and be discouraged to try it out as a hobby. I just got my first 3d printer 6 months ago (and I did all this biodegradable research mostly so my wife would feel comfortable with it). But the benefits of rewiring your brain in a manufacturing mindset, having the ability to create things, solve custom problems, etc, far outweigh the negligible (in the grand scheme of things) amount of waste compared to all the other plastic shit (toys, etc) the masses buy on amazon. That was my main point.

But it's good to know that it could still take 80 years, and is not as quickly biodegradable as originally thought.

The only comforting thing to me about the waste (apart from the fact that our personal 3d printer waste is a margin of error compared to industrial waste so honestly, just don’t worry about it), is that at least PLA is biodegradable.

Thank you. That’s already better than the original article that comes off as an unhinged rant with name calling.

I think most of the naysayers are in group 3 because there’s a lot of anger but never a single link to a blog post or analysis done by anyone to demonstrate a regression. not one. There are some that analyzed the quality of the initial rust code and use of unsafe but Claude has been chewing through those as I understand.

Whole classes of bugs WERE fixed by moving to rust. wouldn’t that result in mass closures of classes of bugs that were no longer relevant in rust? What would you prefer?

Not sure why this purely factual post got downvoted. Upvoted it.

You can install it now we with bun upgrade —-canary it something along those lines.

Which community specifically though? The overwhelming “user” community would be web developers and people writing JS/TS, right? Not zig/rust developers.

It’s an awkward app and the whole interaction just feels weird and kind of slapdash. I think it is meant to be a prototype.

But in this day and age it’s easy enough to at least write the iOS and Android versions. But maybe not dealing with the play store.

The whole point of the outrage was that 1.4 was merged into main. Publicly. So I’m not sure what you mean.

Everything is in the open: PR #30412

It’s made absolutely no negative difference, as we’ve seen in the real world in the last 60 days since the merge.

I feel weird having to defend reality; reality being that it was merged nearly 2 months ago and tons of people have had their pitchforks out without a shred of actual evidence that this made bun worse in any measurable way. But they still insist it was a mistake.

I’ve never met Jared or the bun team but I don’t understand all the personal attacks, I just feel the need to correct the facts. Literally who cares what language a JS toolset is written in?

It’s not like they ported JavaScriptCore (the actual JS runtime) to rust even. All that stuff is largely untouched.

Things improved tremendously the first month after they acquired Bun. People like Jared (bun creator) worked relentlessly on the performance bottlenecks, and posted details on X as he worked through them. I remember just launching claude code used to take multiple seconds, and within a month it went down to instant.

More accuracy. Like others have said, homonyms (their, they're, there) is easier to determine once you have more context. So then you may need to go back a couple words and update them.

Same with punctuation, you could determine that a comma belonged in a certain place once you have enough words.

Google released this awkwardly named app called edge eloquent recently that does exactly that.

In fact, it cleans up the entire paragraph that you just said, and even if you have meandering thoughts, it cleans those up too.

Actually, this above statement was fully dictated with iOS and it added all the punctuation automatically, so I think that iOS is also doing some of this natively. In fact, I’m on the iOS 27 beta and it seems to be doing an even better job of correcting itself and correcting earlier words and adding punctuation too.

But this is still possible to do if you track the whole run of text. You could replace all of it each time so it LOOKS like it’s streaming but earlier words also change. I’m hoping the streaming models do this eventually.

I believe the built-in iOS dictation already does this.

A “fan” of erlang definitely gives me vibes if the 3-4 people at conferences who used to debate about Erlang and Haskell and all these things in very academic ways and enjoyed it.

And that’s awesome. We need people like that. But the vast majority of people want to get stuff done, and I have always admired that Jose Valim seems to be one of those people that just “gets” the mix of good technology with its PRACTICAL use rather than just debating programming languages endlessly.

Without elixir, outside of a handful of companies implementing it in their core systems, erlang probably would’ve mostly remained in the domain of the same guys at conferences that passionately debated tabs vs spaces or BDD vs TDD. In fact, I think that’s exactly where Haskell is. I barely hear about it, just like I used to barely hear about erlang.

The rest of us that focus on what we’re building with the technology or the dev UX, etc, would’ve stuck to ruby and other things, if not for elixir.

I say this as someone who has been writing elixir full time since early 2016 and absolutely love the beam. And I’ve yet to edit my first erlang file. It just hasn’t mattered in most of my real world use.

I started noticing this coincidentally around the time I installed gstack, and I thought “man is this how all the YC people talk all the time?”

But didn’t realize it was a claude-ism. I even asked it once, why do you keep saying load bearing? I’ve never heard that phrase when talking about ideas. And it apologized for jargon and explained it.

The other claude-ism is saying that something I said completely reframes the problem, or completely changes things. Apparently I’m completely blowing its mind multiple times in a 30 min conversation.

Just this week I built a live subtitles app for my mother in law who is hard of hearing (she has a hearing aid but still has trouble decoding, but can still read faster than me)

So I ended up organically testing and ending up with SpeechAnalyzer because it was not only fast and accurate enough, but you also see live results as you talk. It also has speaker identification and people can register their voices. And it does all processing on device.

It also had the best model for Indian accented English, given she lives in India.

So I was quite impressed, but the holy grail to me is transcription that does speaker identification but also works in a standard family conversation, where multiple people interrupt each other all the time.

I will say though, I'm really curious as to what Claude Code Desktop uses for their voice mode, because it seems even better than Apple's, and it provides realtime feedback. Maybe they're using apple's model?

Exactly. Those low quality comments are an example of the sad erosion of quality of comments on HN that I and others have complained about in recent times.

Again, the code’s been out for two months. And by many accounts, many people would clearly love to scream loudly about all the things that broke.

There were initial analyses done on the port. And things continue to get refactored. But is there any slam dunk article where someone actually found any regression in functionality or stability? We’re seeing the opposite. Dozens of bugs fixed. We don’t have to theorize. They’ve been running this experiment for 2 months, with all the code out in the open.

It just feels like after two months, people want to cling to the _idea_ that this was reckless, without evidence of any meaningful negative impact.

Unfortunately, it isn't available on the API yet! Can't wait!

LTS is more relevant if there was any kind of compatibility that was broken. They still haven’t released 1.4 even though it seems to have gone extremely well by every metric in the wild, with tons of people using Claude code with no regressions in a month. Nothing to me suggests they’re being careless here.

In fact, he had two adversarial reviewer Claude instances on every code change, every line. I don’t know a single human team that does two independent reviews of every line, except maybe the people that wrote space shuttle software.

Also they fixed the memory leak. How does it matter what language it’s written in? At the end of the day, people use it to run their typescript code among other things.

How many bun users care that’s it’s written in zig? I certainly don’t. I’ve been using bun for 2 years and I think I looked up zig once. It’s just not relevant.

Did it get more stable? Yes. Slimmer? Yes. More performant? Yes. Is there any proof that it got LESS secure? No. The code has been out for two months. By now all the nay sayers would’ve found the smoking gun. They haven’t. How much more proof would you like that this was a resounding success?

This is our new reality. The agents are so good that projects like this are in the realm of possible. That’s exciting.

I’ve wondered the same. Especially because codex is written in rust.

Why not just port Claude code over.

But my guess is that maybe it doesn’t have as robust a test suite?

This might embolden them to do it…

I’ve been using gpt-realtime-1 for my personal assistant that runs my company and plans my day. And it works pretty well, even makes tool calls and all that.

But the multi modal stuff has resulted in a lot of debugging with weird events and message and audio sequences having race conditions, but overall it is pretty awesome.

Looking forward to moving to this model later today and will chime back in with results.

Still looks like ascii, doesn’t automatically wrap, nor is it responsive.

Anyone know if these projects accept PRs to improve these kinds of things, like legibility? Or is it a point of pride?

I'm curious as to why they aren't considering (solar powered) desalinization as an additional source of water, to pump water directly from the ocean?

Nah it's overwhelmingly the former, as far as what project Glasswing has focused on. It's finding vulnerabilities in code that was written years (in some cases decades) ago. Browsers, Linux Kernel, etc.

That's not to say that we aren't introducing new bugs, but I'm only addressing Mythos and Glasswing.

I am especially hopeful for this for my daily stuff, not just testing.

Meaning, having a hopefully seamless way to perform some automations in the browser on my behalf but since it’s the browser I’m logged in to, it just makes the handoff between myself and the agent feel more seamless.

And that’s because I’ve used safari as my main browser, not chrome, because it isn’t as much of a battery hog.
