Reminder that the Bun's Zig-to-Rust rewrite took 11 days with dozens of agents working 24/7 and the author put the cost they'd pay (if they had to pay) at about $168k.

Does anybody really believe that it only took 11 days, one engineer and $168k in tokens?

We also received a license from Bluesky for the atproto trademark.

For now

Isn't it all speculation always though? That's why stock picking doesn't work and ETFs are popular.

I really hope it's a scam, because if not, and this is allowed to exist, we're fucked.

And rightly so

Caning is absolutely against basic human rights, so no. It won't make Oakland and SF safer, it will only make society more divided and worse off.

Go ask and minorities like Indian slave workers how safe and secure they feel in Singapore...

Singapore is a highly authoritarian place where caning is legal punishment. I would not call this normal, but rather "absolutely insane lmao".

Ah, didn't get the /s :D

Comparing Elon Musk, a rich kid that got lucky by investing his money in to "cool shit" with some of the most significant scientists and mathematicians of humankind is just wrong.

Perfectly demonstrating that we need regulation to protect the general public, most companies will not do the right thing but the thing that benefits them first and foremost.

There are new buzz words every two months. Remeber yesterday when everbody was throwing around RAG?

People are not excited because those companies blatantly disgregard the law, exploit and fuck people over and try to concentrate as much power as possible in their hands. Young people are not stupid, they can see that the increasing wealth gap makes their lives suck more. And they also understand that AI is a hypercapitalistic tool, that, if left unchecked, will only accelerate this trend.

So yes, that kind of curbs the enthusiasm, doesn't it?

You must be living under a rock if you think all super rich billionaires like Musk are doing is "abuses the corporate entity a bit, as a piggy bank, or whatever"

She probably started a YC startup ("tell us about the time you hacked the system")

Dude. If it weren't for unions, you would be working 70 hours each week for a shit pay and would even have less employee rights than you have not (assuming you live in the US, based on your dismissive comment against unions)

You might be in the 1% gloablly, but probably not in the country you are living in?

Jesus dude

Could also be possible today, but we chose a capitalistic system that leads to an increasing wealth gap. And now we're in a situation where the richest 1% own 50% of the wealth.

So, if we increase automation and the ownership structures stay the same, this inequality will get worse, not better.

if AI saves you time, why wouldn't you use it

Ethical concerns, environmental concerns, political concerns and legal concerns.

I don't understand why a space company should buy a glorified IDE?

Sure, much like how email is decentralized in theory but barely is in practice.

Hard disagree. Email is very much decentralized. Doesn't mean that there's still a long tail distrubtion, but its not like 99.999% of email accounts are on Gmail. And I can set up an email account in a few minutes and by choosing from a list of thousands of providers all over the world.

Donald Trump Jr. is an adviser to both Kalshi and Polymarket, and an investor in one of them (forgot which one).

I know, didn't add an /s. I thought it was obvious haha

For all practical purposes, it is.

Thought so too. Odd.

You mean the one they try to build in The Office?

Why?

God, they must have hated being forced to speak to the president

I'll have some of what you're having
