But now that Bun is actually doing it its somehow bad? Its also still open source, so those implementations you mention need dedicated teams can still get the attention they need by the community if needed.

I'm on the side that I'd actually prefer if node included more out of the box and we could drastically cut down on the number of packages we need due to the amount of supply chain attacks that happen on packages in the node ecosystem.

Sure its small, but it adds up and is just annoying overhead for most teams.

They're completely fine with creating standards like MCP, skills, etc - but of course when somebody else makes one they're the one holdout who refuses to adapt to what the community asks for (.agents folder, AGENTS.md, etc).

- " Generated with Claude Code"

God I hate this world. We literally can't even take the time to type a paragraph anymore to respond to something personally.

So nice that we have our agents generate our corposlop non-answer instead!

It's probably a mix of all of that plus simply always keeping one in the chamber to 1up everyone else when the time is right.

Seems if you are okay with it, there's no reason to use anything but the highest effort levels of some other frontier models for the price.

I think Grok provides healthy competition to the other labs, though I do think they bank on groks reputation making it less appealing to many.

Especially if its not in a well funded area.

Most of the time it's an attempt to stifle negative opinions of those reading the layoff announcements. But in the modern day it's getting old because we see a new layoff every day now.

Everybody knows we aren't a family, and we're doing this to get paid not for some contrived company mission.

I'm convinced with most of these layoff announcements people would take it better if they literally just said we're getting rid of N people for X,Y,Z reasons and called it at that without the presumptuous bullshit.

In a way you could see this as a case of Robin Hood. The US companies exfiltrated all the data on the planet just to hoard it for themselves now and accuse anyone who tries to get a piece of that back from them, and the Chinese labs are distilling it to offer it for cheap.

Obviously a bit more complicated than that but it still holds pretty well.

Maybe they haven't been taught to do so or it's not integrated into the system prompt or the tools but all of them only ever use the LSP to read files/symbols.

Every harness I've used will happily just call the edit tool over and over or do a find and replace via sed or programatically call a python/perl script rather than rename a symbol via other means.

If what ends up happening is that every listing has misleading AI photos but they have to disclose it, then also what ends up happening is nobody trusts them anymore. Consumers will know by default to not trust the photos.

In my eyes, thats a win since that's a better outcome than them secretly using AI photos.

Of course in my ideal world it would be outlawed altogether, But even if they were still allowed to use AI photos but were forced to disclose it, that's still a good first step.

What I read on social media about people and these resets gives off literal worst kind of addiction vibes. I've literally seen people talking about "Oh I had an existential crisis without Fable/GPT-5.6"

These people legitimately need help, or alternatively a social life.

Maybe its different on my end because I just use a sub outside of work for fun stuff. At work its not my money so I don't really care. I go to work, maybe use these subs at home every once in a while for a fun personal project and if I hit the limits (I rarely even do) I play video games or hang out with my wife/family.

People are borderline tying their identities to these models it seems, and yet most people aren't even building anything interesting.

Seems strange for a company of your size to have one person push changes that should have easily caught this edge case then. Seems like a change even a small handful of people could have reasonably thought up this side effect of.

In a sense yes, I think it is actually reasonable to complain that the answer is too human/individualized here because it likely wasn't this individual human who made this decision, but he's making it seem like it is so that we are less likely to blame the company as a whole.

It's counterintuitive but when one singular person owns up to the problems that, at the root, are actually systemic to the decision making of the whole company it plays on the psychology of us as humans.

"I'm in charge of maintaining it" - This is not the same as "I'm in charge of all of the decision-making behind the implementation of how this tool works for users".

I actually agree exactly with your last point that one single person taking blame is counter-intuitive/non-productive here, but it actually seems like what these large companies desire is to have one person be the fall guy to play on people's sympathies.

If this were some small startup it would make sense but this is not that case.

I already know plenty who had no clue what the difference between Terra and Luna would be.

Getting rid of that seems like a step back. Just a personal nit though.

I've seen buzz about this elsewhere as well but to me effort levels seem more like spend limits disguised with another word. I don't think they should even exist.

The naming convention is especially difficult to decipher depending on what your native language is. Of course a latin language speaker might be able to easily determine oh yeah each one is slightly bigger than the other but I still think it borderlines too confusing.

That aside all the numbers look amazing, and I'll be happy to probably main this alongside grok-4.5 for a while comparing the two on price and efficiency.

I vastly prefer the direction that OpenAI seems to be going with token efficiency and performance compared to Anthropic who seems to be moving towards a world where you just token-max as much as possible ignoring any and all costs.

I for one am really glad to get competitive models that will push the major labs to bring prices down. While Chinese open source labs are also great, unfortunately when it comes to US/Western political pressure it won't often have as much of a bearing on labs bringing prices down, especially for enterprises.

Also if these numbers are true, this is truly breaking ground finally for Meta.

Or alternatively every word still has the timer and then at the end if you finish, it tells you how many words you completed under the timer and gives you a score based on that.

And then maybe an option for those who don't want the timer to show at all, since maybe it adds a bit of pressure. You can have just a simple option that removes the timer entirely from view

Think whatever you want about them, whether they're good or bad when it comes to environment, public health etc.

But one thing cannot be ignored - that they are not built to employ some large swath of people. They can be run with very lean teams, much leaner than the average person thinks for something so large. Any claim that they are employing some measurable amount of people is a sham they try to push onto the public.
