Man, I feel like we're losing a lot of the people I grew up watching this year. What a bummer.

It sounds like the fee is about $1.00: the delta between $100 and $99.

I'll be honest, I'm not signing up for an account to look at this. The marketing site has zero screenshots. The help center you link has...20 articles total? Few enough that it seems like all of them are listed on the main page. That's not reassuring.

The plans are based on the number of "products" but this is never defined. This isn't defined in your help center. In fact, the help center returns every article for every search, just changing the ranking.

I already pay for a help center. My tools work with my help center. I've got links to my help center. You're asking me to throw out everything to start fresh on a platform with almost no information. Honestly, this is the wrong play. Don't build your own, update your users' existing sites. I'd gladly sign up for a trial of a service to manage my help site for me. But I'm not getting a new one without a lot more confidence that it's worth it.

Came here to say this. So many of my friends are male nurses. The thing that keeps them from sticking around is the pay. There's only so much crap you can take (literal and metaphorical) for a terrible salary. My housemate worked at UNC here in North Carolina. Not only was his pay terrible, he had to pay for on-campus parking. And if there was a sports game, he wasn't allowed to use the parking lot (having to park substantially further away and take a shuttle).

The people running the system are so completely disconnected from the experience of being a nurse that they're destroying the industry from the top down.

As a buyer I don't trust Paypal. They use dark patterns to try to get me to sign in, then make it hard to sign out, and for whatever reason my account is wedged and even though it has the correct payment details, the payments all fail. The UI is antiquated and the embedded version that has the animated progress bar GIF is sketchy at best. The Venmo app (which Paypal owns) is jammed with crappy ads and an often-broken UI.

Same. I bought a cabin, which had the equivalent of pretty good DSL. I got starlink and immediately cancelled it when 2gbps fiber arrived 9mo later. Fiber is rolling out faster than a lot of people think.

Sure, all change brings risk. But this is change where:

1. The change isn't made by a human.

2. The change wasn't fully reviewed by humans or machines. It's not currently possible for a machine to review the whole thing as one.

3. It's a full rewrite. This isn't a ten thousand line change, it's multiple orders of magnitude more than that.

You're literally making the argument that all risk of any size from any change of any size is equivalent, so just don't worry about it. If you relied on this software before, good luck convincing yourself it's fine to rely on this software now: it's literally not the same software anymore.

Not sure I'd call it just a pipe, but maybe a series of tubes.

It's really not even close to being the same. In the best case, a bug means your app crashes on the new version. In the worst case, something more insidious happens like opening a security vulnerability (say, TLS isn't handled correctly or HTTP headers are mishandled in a way that allows SSRF or request smuggling) or a previously linear time operation is accidentally quadratic (leading to DoS).

The initial state has no bearing on whether the process was responsible or not. That's measuring along a different axis. If the bun rewrite lands and it breaks someone's app, that's bad no matter whether there's more or fewer bugs in the final state. The important metric in a rewrite of software that's used in production is stability.

It's unknowable, because the PR is unreviewable. The Bun migration PR is larger than any model ever made can fit into context. You just have to pray that test coverage is sufficient to catch all of the possible errors, which it almost certainly isn't.

If you're measuring a sloppy project against a well structured one with regard to how many tests fail, that'll bias success towards the sloppy codebase, which likely has worse test coverage and less robust testing in the first place. You'd essentially need to write a single test suite that works for both projects in each pair to compare fairly.

That's not to say the study is good, but I can respect their decision because the tests passing isn't necessarily correlated with the effectiveness of the agent.

I've used Google Voice since it was Grand Central and switched to Fi the month it came out, and I have never experienced what you're describing.

Wow, that's pretty "oops" if I ever saw it!

Two people in my life when I was a kid have since been sent to prison for pedophilia. There's a 0.0% chance I'm hosting encrypted media for anyone other than my spouse. The low but nonzero risk of the cops asking me about some encrypted files I'm holding for a friend simply would not be worth the risk for saving someone the tens of dollars a month to self host their own content.

There's not a single point in history where everyone on the planet advised any one thing at all, ever.

The first time I had any exposure to Om and his work was on The GigaOm Show on Revision3 (twenty years ago!). It was still a time where I thought it was wondrous that high production-value content would be distributed online for free—YouTube and friends still hadn't found themselves with "high end" content. It felt like the future of news, and it was. He was a really pleasant guy, and really far ahead of his time.

Arguably you shouldn't be able to, at least without being qualified to drive it. Just because it's legal doesn't mean someone made the active choice for it to be legal.

they're not large enough to

Based on whose opinion?

Plenty of families have the need for third-row seating

A 1993 Buick Roadmaster Station wagon has a comfortable third row while being shorter than the top of the steering wheel on a 2025 GMC Yukon Denali.

My parents raised my brother and I in the back of a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass. You don't need a vehicle where the hood is 48" off the ground to be comfortable.

Counterpoint: why am I able to buy a Ram 2500 and drive it without a CDL? I rented one recently to help a friend move some furniture and it's an unbelievably big vehicle.

The example of the standard you suggest could equally apply to large motor vehicles: you need special training above and beyond the status quo for vehicles that meet a certain standard. To your own point, motor vehicle laws were largely written based on outdated assumptions about the size of trucks and SUVs.

tsgo isn't loading a full js jit compiler and a significant subset of the Node standard library. I'd be equally upset to see a Python compiler installing Pypy as a performance improvement to compile code for CPython faster.

The comparisons rank it against GPT and Gemini but not Claude. Is Claude's vision support simply not competitive when it comes to OCR tasks?

That doesn't help anyone using Node. I don't want to have to start using a new runtime because my compiler is slow. That's wild.

Now you need a third model to decide if the two other models disagree

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is a real issue. I'm not a woman, but I'm a gay man and the same thing happens walking through Boystown or at the gym. Headphones have a near-100% success rate at deflecting unwanted advances.

I go to the doctor every year for a checkup without symptoms. Why a year? Why not every six months? Two weeks? Day?

If the false positive rate is demonstrably low, I can't see the risk. People who think they need a doctor will go to a doctor with or without a fancy scan. People who want to play armchair physician will play armchair physician with or without a fancy scan.

The first video has the actual device (whether it's functioning or not) and the second video is a render.

That doesn't make any sense. If the cost is training, the cost is compute, not data. Distilling another model means paying for that model, which isn't obviously less expensive than crawling the web and curating a dataset. Regardless of where your data comes from, the training process costs the same.

I'm excited to test out Zed's offering. I'm also going to look at some of the open source agent harnesses, even though I'll have to give up a fixed cost subscription. I suppose now is probably also a great time to kick the tires on self hosted models.
