they aren't "your" federal and state tax dollars. if you want to privately provide welfare for PE out of your own pocket, go ahead, but leave the public's tax dollars out of it.

looking at ESO's homepage their main pitch is around NERIS compliance ( https://www.usfa.fema.gov/nfirs/neris/ ) so it looks like this is a case of regulatory capture forcing fire departments to buy new softwar

uWebsockets, which is the foundation of the network and http server stack in Bun, as I understand it, is a compatible 3rd party extension to Node.js that gives it similar performance on HTTP implementation. The key architectural difference

JS/TS has a fundamental advantage, because there is more open source JS/TS than any other language, so LLMs training on JS/TS have more to work with. Combine that with having the largest developer community, which means you h

> Vibe-coded projects get bought by vibe-coded companies this is so far from the truth. Bun, Zig, and uWebsockets are passion projects run by individuals with deep systems programming expertise. furthest thing from vibe coding imaginable

Claude Code running on Bun is an obvious justification, but Buns features (high performance runtime, fast starts, native TS) are also important for training and inference. For instance, in inference you develop a logical model in code that

There are two layers here: 1) low level LLM architecture 2) applying low level LLM architecture in novel ways. It is true that there are maybe a couple hundred people who can make significant advances on layer 1, but layer 2 constantly driv

In my view LLMs are simply a different method of communication. Instead of relying on "your voice" to engage the reader and persuade them of your point of view, writing with LLMs for analysis and exploration through LLMs, is about

I think you are right that the entire analysis is flawed. The Amazon and Microsoft "rental" deals have inflated price tags because of the circular financial arrangements between them and OpenAI, and because those future revenue st

Google may very well be the Google of this era. They have demonstrated the ability to maintain parity on the engineering side, they have a long running advantage on OpEx with TPU, they have the most data, and the most trusted brand. AI coll

developing secure software is very difficult. you have to start from a foundation of immutable data storage. then you need reproducible compilation from source code, to all executables, to bootable images. then you need out-of-band hardware

IP exists in your head. You have knowledge that no one else has and it is your property. IP law recognizes this ground truth and creates a legal framework that allows IP to be traded in the economy which creates an incentive for people to s

we have had GUIs and CLIs for the same functionality for many decades. i doubt the branded website/app layer will go away. AI agents will become the predominant use case, but you still need a human accessible manual control interface.
