afaik Void Cloud never went GA

Weird situation for Vue. The Nuxt guys and Eduardo (creator of vue-router, pinia, etc) are working at Vercel while Evan is now at Cloudflare.

> theres no evidence that they arent (or can't) use profitable inference to subsidise those other expenses as far as we know there's no evidence that they can produce any profits at all…
comment
AI companies have more expenses than inference.

The MSRC situation is really unbelievable. There are probably better sources but I think this video by The Primeagen is a good introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kxx5xp5nTQ…

I owned a Surface Book v1 for a couple of days before returning it. It was a garbage device with tons of issues. I will say it had amazing keyboard though.
comment
support is not uniform though eg: https://jsr.io/@std/dotenv
comment
yeah I wish Node had something like that
comment
Many runtimes/languages rely on third party deps for that. Also plenty of devs think the stdlib should be as lean as possible. Personally, I think there should be a balance. The direct consequenc…

> And I suspect it's probably higher within Anthropic That probably explains why their uptime and reliability are so bad.
comment
Yes, when he made that claim back in 2024 they were spending like $100M to train a model.
comment
Yeah I'll believe it when I see it. Revenue is increasing but so are their costs. Back in 2024 their CEO claimed training costs would rise to $10-100B in the next years. https://www.to…

For example, security. See all the supply chain attacks from the past couple of years.
comment
> none of them seem to want to abandon npm which keeps getting exploited and hacked Do you know of a better alternative for JS/TS that has all the popular packages?
comment
True but it only became the "default" choice a couple of years ago. Before eg 2020 it still wasn't clear if TS was another CoffeeScript.
comment
It's probably coming: https://tc39.es/proposal-type-annotations/
comment
Only if you think Anthropic is a sustainable business per se which remains to be seen.
comment
Bun doesn't require special tooling since it uses standard TS and follows the Node conventions. With Deno you need special tooling for eg the weird import system and package manager. Bun also inc…

This PR piece is only making things worse.
comment
Something that uses WASM probably has more chances to succeed given the massive effort/investment in the past decade to shift from JS to TS.
comment
Initially it didn't make sense to me... but it looks like type striping is really the way to go for future TS. There's the "types as comments" proposal[1] which could even land on …

> He sort of left OpenAI before it really hit the inflection point Sorry I'm out of the loop... What inflection point are you referring to?
comment
Third parties can detect compromised packages. It’s ridiculous Microsoft doesn’t.

"but we've invested so much in our AI integration, are you sure you don't want to use it?"
comment
Rust rewrite coming up in a week
comment
The hate is not about the tech. It's about the greed, lies, fascism, and basically that AI is making almost everything it touches worse.
comment
I don’t know. Resizing a window with complex ui in html tends to be faster than native guis for me. It haven’t tested this properly though.
comment
Maybe controversial but I think HTML + CSS is truly the most powerful system to make GUIs. There’s really nothing else out there that competes with a similar performance and productivity. This old art…
