"cooper" derives from the verb "coop", which likely derives from Latin "cūpa", from which we get the word "cup".

I feel like things have become so much more cynical in the last 5 years, in this regard.

I feel like part of it is the "over-systemization" of promos. I see the logic behind it to some extent - if there's a system, it's "fairer"/"more democratic". But, then we end up with ridiculous gamified promo systems.

doing ALMOST what I asked it to do, but just not quite

This is my exact experience. LLMs get 95% of the way to my personal quality bar, and for simple tasks 100% of the way.

More complex things, no. This means that, in practice, I end up having to understand the code pretty much as much deeply as I would anyway, without agents.

So, essentially, my experience is that it's automated away the easy bits, but left the hard bits, so all of my time is spent doing the hard bits, which is mentally exhausting.

Maybe Fable would be good enough to get to 100% of my quality bar on more complex tasks, but I never got chance to try it.

There was once a time when I'd see a page like this and think "wow, must be a great project with such a polished website".

Now, it's just a neutral or perhaps even very slightly negative signal (especially the em-dash in the very first line of the page).

Anyone able to tell me if this is a project actually worth paying attention to, or just another raindrop in the current monsoon of slop?

Shared-memory threads for JavaScriptCore. new Thread(fn) runs fn on another thread, in the same heap, with the same objects. No structured clone, no message passing, no SharedArrayBuffer-only escape hatch. You share an object by sharing the object.

If you can't even be bothered to write a non-slop PR description, it doesn't bode particularly well for the content of the PR itself...

What I find annoying is when people paste lazy ChatGPT slop into Hacker News and pollute the front page.
