If you're relying on asking the LLM "pwease don't delete" then you're already in trouble. This kind of stuff doesn't work with people either and they generally exhibit actual signs of intelligence.

Oh, you can actually. But you have to bring receipts, otherwise it very well could be libel.

My issue with the paragraph is that it doesn't really connect into anything meaningful. It's just saying that Jarred was a beginner.

The only connection it has is as a segue into calling Jarred a terrible manager here:

> It was at this point - when he suddenly became a manager - that this "beginner energy" started to hit differently for me.

Note how "beginner energy" is considered good in the first paragraph, but suddenly terrible when applied to a different thing here. Terrible work culture aside, and the fact that it seemingly worked out for those who joined aside, Jarred would obviously have beginner energy in management as well considering he's not done it before. Why is it suddenly bad here?

Honest question, is there any record of Andrew actually saying Jarred had "beginner energy," or was this invented for the post as well?

It's not really titled "My Thoughts on the scumbag Jarred Sumner" though, is it? Nor does Jarred's post even mention Andrew by name.

Should Jarred's post have mentioned how Andrew kept bikeshedding Bun code style and how he always felt superior about others?

Well, first off, it's literally the first sentence of a post which is ~62% about Jared, ~26% about the rewrite itself and 10% closing thoughts. It also sets up Jared as a beginner who apparently never learned.

Again, this post never needed to say anything about Jared. It looks weird to pull him in in literally the first sentence. It really shows what you're actually writing about.

Also notice how I didn't have to bring up Andrew soiling his Pampers when he was a wee beginner.

As someone from a cultural background that is considered very direct and blunt, I can say that there is a rather fine line between being direct and being an asshole.

This post devolves into a personal attack one sentence in. There was no reason to go into Jared's life at all to begin with. The entire post doesn't need to exist at all if you're confident that Bun leaving will have zero or even positive impact. Why turn an already negative event of a slop rewrite into drama? It's petty and immature.

I want to be able to put that CD in my drive 20 years later and have working software. You used to get this. I still have some CDs that I could plug into my computer and (perhaps through Wine) get working software.

Denmark was one of the main countries pushing for Chat Control 2.0 ...

I also think Zig has a rough road ahead, but not because of AI or moving to codeberg. No, it's because Andrew isn't really a BDFL. He's at best a DFL. The project is already mostly closed off to external contributors.

It kind of reminds me of Elm in a way. Though I'm not expecting 6 years of drought just yet.

Yes, there are generally two kinds of people:

Those who like having a finished thing. Product people. These people love LLMs.

Those who love the process of building a thing, working through a problem, learning something new. Finishing a project is generally not required. For them LLMs are soul sucking hell.

The fact that the breakout previews included exactly zero gameplay is so weird to me. It shows that there was exactly zero extra effort put into anything here.

Perpetual and irrevocable? And with the right to modify, not just display?

You do not need all that.

They've actually unimplemented this. CS:GO being a source 1 game meant the maps used BSPs and got visibility checking essentially for free.

Various platforms even made it stricter. It was not uncommon to see enemies teleport from behind walls on Faceit as their settings were very strict.

However, Source 2 is more of a mesh based engine and so they just never bothered to implement this particular feature back in.

Dont worry, if breaking changes start happening, people will magically have always been saying it's good, actually.

Any code you wrote on a React version from 6 years ago will still work the same on that React version today. Let's make that a fair comparison.

I get that some people like stability, but that is quite different from going without updates for 6+ years.

Is it a fallacy if you've said before that Google is aiming to create a walled garden, Google itself has already started saying it wants a walled garden and they've already implemented several such steps?

I'm glad it works for you, but I have witnessed several coworkers restart their macbooks (some M1, some M2, possibly M3) and I don't think I've ever seen a reboot shorter than about two minutes.

At one instance, I rolled over to a coworker who has just rebooted theirs and had a whole 5+ minute conversation.

I think a large part is also how long it takes to restart a Mac. Every so often a coworker has to restart and I could probably restart my Linux (or even Windows) laptop 3 times before they're back on.

Kind of reminds me of how slow Windows computers used to boot back in the Vista and 7 era.

Using some rough napkin (well, spreadsheet) math, if you ran Qwen 27B for every minute every day at the current price of $0.195/$1.56 with a 2:1 input to output ratio (eg. agentic coding) at the advertised 22 tps it would take you just about 11 years to get to ~$5000 spent.

Disclaimer: There's a 35% sale from Alibaba right now. And I'm not accounting for input tokens going faster than output tokens.
