This reads to as pure AI slop to me, and Pangram agrees (100% AI). To use one of the idioms that give this impression, this is not just knee-jerk whining. It's material to what the article is about. If you're going to raise this t

I suppose there's a certain novelty in reading AI argue against AI personhood.

Yeah, for practical use I'm more interested in the author's sqlelf tool for querying actual ELF binaries than the use of sqlite for the runnable binary itself. The latter is super cool but sounds like too much of a performance hit

OpenAI has 4,500 employees and a post-money valuation of $852 billion at its last funding round. You'd think they could get someone who specialises in writing MacOS apps to write their MacOS app.

Dammit! This renders it completely unusable.

None of that makes any sense whatsoever.

In other words, it hasn't shipped. The bun rewrite is looked to as proof that this sort of full-throttle vibecoding is the future of software development, at least for large porting projects like this one, and for many people on this s

> It's insane to make that kind of claim without backing it up. A bizarre accusation. It's a fork of Bun that says they removed the dead code. All you have to do to see the diffs is look at its history. Most of the commits ar

That was 11,000 lines of dead code removed from pre-rust Bun. In a million lines of vibed Rust Bun I'd be astonished if there was a mere 11,000 unused LoC. Noticing unused code isn't a strength of LLMs in my experience.

Depends how you think. I found Strang impenetrable and Axler simple and lucid. Some people seem to find abstract vector spaces weird and unmotivated without doing a load of stuff with lists and grids of numbers first. I find determinants we

Much appreciated, and it is indeed very interesting!

The title alone sounds like this would be interesting, but I'll never know if it is because it has a trackers popup listing thousands of "partners" and a load of "legitimate interest" boxes ticked by default. This i

Ironically you can barely find a single mars bar in the UK these days. Usually what's stocked is "Mars Duo": two mars bars in one wrapper.

I struggle to identify with the apparent glee you feel at berating the person you imagine yourself talking to. I guess we all have our own idiosyncratic forms of fantasy, but this one doesn't seem very healthy.

I shouldn't be surprised how prevalent this viewpoint is, given the entrenched anti-intellectualism these days in the US and across the world, but it's disturbing to see it so widespread on HN of all places. You are of course fre

A bigger factor is that Claude Code is owned by Anthropic. They can view issues in the combined CC+Bun as issues in one overall thing that they own. They can reproduce and test them and "Claude Code works" can be used as a target

I haven't read the article myself yet as it's big and I haven't got time now, but I will as it looks like it might be very good. However, if you read just the very first paragraph you'll see that's exactly what the

Indeed it's surprising, given the zig compiler famously causes all developers who use it to merge into a single organism with a combined nervous system.

The Collatz conjecture is a question about positive integers, so enumerating and checking all the possible counterexamples is trivial, albeit requiring infinite time. It has been verified up to 2.36×10^21. It could turn out to be false, but

It's not a great way of inferring software quality, but I think the numbers for both Bun and Claude Code are pretty bad. cpython has ~7,000 open issues, but ~70,000 closed ones, a 1:10 ratio. Bun's ratio is above 1:2.5, while for

The port of Bun, which has >5000 open github issues, is used in Claude Code, which has >11000 open github issues. Do people use Bun in things that are expected to work reliably? Have any such projects tried the upgrade yet?

Surely that outcome requires that the capital retains its value/usefulness. One advantage of crypto and AI is that they can utilise massively parallel computational resources (and don't have tight latency requirements, like gaming
