I've owned multiple generations of Apple watches before and the battery life made me ditch it. After about a year, the watch wouldn't even last a full day with mostly passive usage. I'm considering trying Ultra just so the ba

Sooo, Rivian is a chip maker now. That's cool, I guess.

Which one did it not prove wrong? The fully AI written version of Bun has released, fixed a ton of bugs that existed in the zig version, added a lot of new features and performance improvements and has been shipping with every single insta

I fully AI-driven rewrite of a massive codebase from one language to another within a reasonable release-cycle has never been done before. There was a lot of sentiment around the lines of: - Bun is done for, it's all slop now - there&#

The rewrite part of get to functionally equivalent to the existing zig version in rust did in fact take 11 days based on the available data. When that was done, they spend some time on a ton of new features and hardening and bugfixing that

This is a huge win for Bun & Anthropic. I've been keeping an eye on Bun development cycle since they announced the Rust rewrite and the huge drama and backlash it generated. They seem to be proving the skeptics wrong with this rele

I genuinely find it strange. Like, I can understand intellectually why those people might dislike AI CEOs, but I personally disagree and find most of the reasons to hate them pretty dumb. Those are some pretty smart people working on the bl

God, this is awful. I bet Claude Code can one shot an "UN-AI YOUR INTERNET" website 10 times better than this.

Yeah, Vivaldi specifically is keeping MV2 alive for uBO it seems. We'll see how long they can maintain it with their small team.

I mean sure, but there's a bit of a difference between "sells data to no one really knows who" and "sells data to no one really knows who AND PALANTIR" which the original commenter seem to be flagging as a problem.

The original uBO relies on Manifest V2, the API Chrome no longer supports. It's impossible to run full UBO (not Lite MV3 version) on current versions on Chrome.

I wouldn't be sure this is a long term solution. Maintaining a this into perpetuity would probably take a lot of resources that Vivaldi team might not have.

by rwz 1mo ago
It's quite likely that Brave itself collects data on your usage and shares at least some of it with Palantir. This isn't such an outrageous assumption to make here.

I don't see how Bun is "ruined". In fact, I personally see Bun as example of the opposite — Rust rewrite seems like a huge success across the board. I'm personally using the 1.4 canary (the rust rewrite version) and defi

The entire economy collapsing would likely heavily affect you even if you have no financial stake in AI-related companies similarly to how subprime mortgage crisis in the 2000s affected even people without mortgages.
