Didn't love the gameplay but the Indiana Jones game looks absolutely phenomenal.

Inference margin is irrelevant. That’s like a gas station saying they have 90% margin over pumps but still losing money.

Social media is the new tobacco

Spend 5 minutes on the marketing pages of any AI company and it's obvious they're not selling electricity, fuel, or even raw compute.
comment
On top of that isn't it strange that if the LLM makes a mistake you're still charged for those tokens? They're selling "intelligence", automation, etc but if the service doesn…

The only thing that matters is the economy of it all. Open AI et al are hemorrhaging absurd amounts of money. It's not clear whether there will ever be a good balance between cost, value, and p…

and the cost of that compute

I was against ORMs until I used EF Core in .NET which I really loved. A good ORM is amazing for productivity and when needed you can always write raw SQL. I don't use .NET anymore but lately I…

In the CPI Spain is not that far off from countries like France, Italy or the US and better than the global average. https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025 I'm curren…

I was hoping for something more flexible. I suppose the whole point of Prettier is that it's not flexible but I find 90% of the times the code is actually uglier when using it.

> It's not as if it is dramatically better now than it was in version 3 Adding stuff for SSR was a major improvement.
comment
I think they should find a better name for this project. I find it very confusing since it's not really a better Vite. At the time Void Zero was probably looking to monetize the Vite brand but no…
comment
Rolldown is used in Vite (non plus) though.

I was excited about Oxfmt until I tried it and found that it's mostly intended to be a Prettier replacement. Ugh.

On products from their competitors?
comment
Suno et al don't really have a incentive to hide the fact that their tracks are generated using AI. Quite the contrary, the only way they won't get sued to death by UMG and the other big l…

One thing is to invest R&D money with a strategy and another to force people to burn as much money as possible to see what happens.
comment
it won't be monetized so there's zero incentive to upload AI slop to Tidal
comment
Good now add a setting to hide all AI content.
comment
It seems really absurd that anyone would encourage or even force employees to burn more money to see if maybe something works.
comment
They should have done it a year or two ago when the hype was strong. Today everyone knows there's no agi coming up and it will be a very long time until they generate any profits, if ever.

> Node compatibility was a distraction for the product I've gone back and forth on this point over the years. Yeah, Node compat has probably affected the rest of the product. I imagine at so…

There's a difference between running your app on a vibe coded runtime or just local DX tools though.
comment
Very cool idea which makes a lot of sense. Bun provides more (eg db drivers) but the DX is certainly a big part of its appeal. For reference, the main author of Nub is Colin McDonnell who created Zod …

It's difficult to see how huge these are from the photo in the wsj article. Check this photo: https://vela-transport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/FACE07... …

The important metric should be emissions per metric ton though, including construction of the ships.
