How ironic that Google wanted to be a monopoly buster.

Will sending bits to space and back really be faster than fiber? How?

I assumed consumer hardware too though I can't imagine what OpenAI hardware would look like. Another take on the "smart speaker" that has hit the consumer market with a resounding "meh?"

Bailout of OpenAI? Doubt it, unless Trump and Musk have some sort of falling out (again).

> Rust zealots are in the unfortunate position of having the tiniest bit of objective truth on their side — all else being equal, most C software would indeed benefit from being written in Rust instead.

But all other things are not equal, are they? A vital piece of software written in C that has been battle-tested and optimized throughout its two, three, four decades or more of existence does not magically improve if it gets rewritten in Rust. Not only does that not make sense in theory, we've also seen it in reality with the issues with the coreutils rewrites.

You can make a solid argument that new software written completely from zero would be better served by being written in Rust than C. But the "just rewrite it bro" types are so incredibly obnoxious and out of step with reality.

> He's also planning to release the language the exact same time as Jai

Except that Odin has been "released" and has been used to ship software for years now. Regardless of Bill's inspirations for his language, I can write code with Odin right now, and that's a huge benefit compared to waiting for Blow to finally be in the mood to release Jai.

I used to be a huge fan of Swift but eventually got frustrated that they just don't seem interested in officially supporting anything other than macOS and mainline Linux; any support for BSD or Windows is only through iffy community projects. I can't recommend Swift if you want your project to be broadly multi-platform.

I like Lobsters' design and would love to switch over, but it's still invite-only… I guess it works for them but it feels elitist to an anti-social nerd like me.

Are you sure you read that here? I came back yesterday after a hiatus and I’ve been dismayed how many posts are just “yeah, I just run Claude all day” without a hint of embarrassment or shame.

The “cleanup pass” never happens, though. It’ll just be new feature on top of new feature until it’s too large to refactor.

In System Settings, if you go to Accessibility and click "Read & Speak" in the "Vision" section, you can select a different voice using the "System voice" section. Click the "(i)" to preview your various options and even download more. Some, like "Allison (Enhanced)," sound leagues better than the default voice.

I mean, I figured the concept of buying ingredients to make a single meal for one person and then just throwing whatever's left away is so ridiculous on the face of it that I wouldn't need to qualify it, but apparently I was wrong.

I currently live by myself and I bought a pork loin to barbecue for Independence Day as a treat. I bought one of the smallest ones I could find, then ate about a third of it that night. Then I put the rest in the fridge and ate it over subsequent days - one night I had it on its own with some veggies on the side, and another I sliced it up thin and topped some ramen with it. The loin cost me about $5, but to say that the meat for that one meal on Independence Day cost me $5 is baffling logic.

Maybe we can simplify this. Do you eat breakfast cereal? If you buy a box of breakfast cereal for $4 and a gallon of milk for $4, then have a bowl of cereal with milk the next day, do you think that means that one bowl of cereal cost you $8?

But you wouldn't be making a single burrito. You'd be making several over several days, and/or using the leftover ingredients for other meals.

Economic literacy is truly dead, isn't it? Good lord.

Are you someone who has the capability to be constantly making money any time you want to? If not and you just have a normal 9-5 job or something close to it, you have plenty of time to shop for an hour once a week, then spend 10-30 minutes a day making your own lunches and dinners and still come ahead financially -- way, way ahead.

I have no idea where you're coming from with the "dealing with food waste" part so I'll just ignore it.

Make your burrito or bowl at home, and it'll cost $4 or less.

Going by the "How it works" section of the GitHub page (not the web site), it appears to be both whitelists and blacklists, plus heuristics for unknown brands to flag the keyboard-mash brands that are almost certainly junk.

I wonder how many of the people complaining about the Apple ecosystem are doing so using a Google browser on a Google operating system running on a Google hardware device and found this site using the Google search engine and signed up using a Google Mail mail address and do work using Google's office suite and are listening to a video or music on Google's video sharing platform in the background as they type.
