It's been shipping in the company that's success is partly contingent on it shipping? But there's no release? Curious.

Is the bun rewrite actually done? There's no tag for the release, and as it stands robobun has almost 1.3k open PRs on the repo: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pulls/robobun

It doesn't look done.

And it looks like work on the rewrite began in early may: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/commit/46d3bc29f270fa881dd573...

So... its more like a 2 month rewrite that is definitely not done yet????

idk I have a BA Phil and have been a professional programmer for over a decade now. If you don't know how to search stackoverflow I'd agree. But I had to go to University to learn all the ins and outs of philosophy. Much easier to find the answers online for programming. Searching for "how to live a good life"? Many charlatans on this topic out there. As the academy gets hollowed out in favour of Profit, increasingly those charlatans have STEM degrees.

It's a fatal flaw to think counter-intuitive == wrong.

Practically printing money!!!

I've seen lots of ads saying I should use chatgpt to plan a workout or give me recipes. Thats apparently the killer app for 95% of the population at this point.

I can't recommend going doorknocking for a cause you care about, enough. Its maybe a half-day, you'll find most people aren't like the angry commenters on twitter, you'll meet people in your community and it makes you more confident talking to strangers!

The question is how many people tried to solve this Erdos problem with AI and how many total minutes have been spent on it.

America should fund tertiary education better, and that would solve even more problems.

Can you imagine how much ChatGPT cancer research we could fund if we stopped funding cancer research?

I think one day the VCs will have given the monkeys on typewriters enough money that these kinds of comments can be generated without human intervention.

Because it could be a massive waste of time and money.

My big question with all these announcements is: How many other people were using the AI on problems like this, and, failing? Given the excitement around AI at the moment I think the answer is: a lot.

Then my second question is how much VC money did all those tokens cost.

The communist small business funding scheme.... Interesting.

I love how at the beginning of this boom people were talking about how heuristics applied to AI outputs were short-term gains disguised as real progress. Now it seems like almost every new tool is a series of heuristics applied to AI outputs.

Is this the best one for blowing up arab children and identifying their bodies in the rubble?

Go on?

One of the books that influenced my thinking the most was The Accidental Guerilla by David Kilcullen where he posits that economic disadvantage drove a lot of people to insurgency. This article supports that. Worth a read!

Yes yes such a complex situation and so hard to tell whether the guy with the pedo non-con site wanted to go to the pedo non-con island.

Elon's in the files asking Epstein about "wild parties" and then doesn't seem to care about all this. Easy to draw a conclusion here.

Oh wow! Guy who's current project depends on AI being good is talking about AI being good.

Interesting.

The people working for Palantir are collaborators.

Doesn't contradict what I said at all.

You think she was aiming at this chump?

In no way is this "towards" anyone.

ICE agents should be tried in the Hague.

When these companies run out of VC hype money, what's the actual cost of running 10-20 instances of this at all times, going to be?

Congrats to them! Unions are the reason we have (had) an 8 hour day.

Yes we also invented drinking coffee.
