Just because I don't personally know anyone using deepseek. I'm in northern europe. I can imagine there's a big huge chunk of the world that is priced out of using openai or anthropic, and I'm blind to it because of where I am.

I used 80% of my 5h anthropic usage window on a code review using fable. I tried this twice on two different feature implementations. Same result.

Oh wow deepseek is on par in usage with anthropic: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek

Deepseek has been on a growth spurt recently. Openai is at half and looks almost flat in comparison to anthropic and deepseek.

It's not fair to people with Down Syndrome to romanticize and downplay their suffering. They all have to suffer with a strong disease their whole lives. Many are much to sick to part of "normal life" and we never see the really sick ones in public. We really only see the few one's that are doing exceptionally well. The rest are institutionalized. Many still die young. Many require invasive surgeries during early childhood.

A quick google tells me that software devs usually count for 20% to 40% of the total workforce in a software company. The rest is overhead that increases with every added dev.

My man, it's 2026.

How long will you have to wait for the spacex claims to become "not too far off now"?

Bun and Deno are not js runtimes either. They are wrappers for existing js runtimes and add additional apis.

OXC predates VoidZero and is made by Boshen. Evan had to try for a while until he was able to convince Boshen to join them. OXC is the best of the JS toolchains implemented in Rust, so it was definitely a scoop.

The question I have is: Is Vite becoming the all-in-one nodejs tool that is replacing all the other full featured js tooling favorites like Bun, Deno and pnpm?

This is a big fat "it depends". It depends on how you use the llm. You can use the llm to write your homework or you can use the llm as a teaching assistant to help you learn. Different people choose different paths.

I see how this might seem like it would make Bun important to Anthropic, but there are just so many examples of companies losing interest in the technology that their product "runs on". It's just infrastructure to them. To the C-suite, infrastructure is fungible.

I'm surprised they've been able to keep the stock price and the revenue flat given they competitive environment they've been in for many years. They've been going head to head with the cloud infrastructure hyperscalers and mobile platform owners despite just being a file storage SaaS. It's weird to me that people ever expected more of Dropbox given who they were up against.

What we need is a new made up word with a clean etymology.

For such a word to gain traction, we need it to be promoted by someone with clout in the AI space. I don't know if Karpathy has used up his quota of invention of AI nomenclature.

The Simpsons made up "cromulent" with their own definition. Anyone can make up a word with their own definition. Getting it to catch on is the hard part (obligatory "stop trying to make fetch happen" reference).

That's a yes and no. Venture funded companies like Anthropic have a history of low follow through with peripheral projects (like Bun is for them). Of course they do - their responsibility is ultimately primarily to their investors - not to Bun. So the risk now is that Anthropic will can Bun whenever they just lose interest or feel it's just a drain that's not contributing directly to their bottom line.

Node.js itself did have trouble finding a corporate home that was interested in providing good support for the project, and that's how we got the oi.js fork of Node, which luckily led to Node being transitioned to a foundation and the projects merged. This whole history is what made me so surprised that Ryan of all people would attempt another js runtime (Deno) project as a corporate project.

And it's the reason I'm staying away from both Bun and Node. I can't afford platform risk like this. I need my startup to be built on a project that has a more reliable future trajectory, which is what you get with a proper open source project (emphasis on project) that you get with Node. Node is stable and still getting features, but most importantly it's not going away.

It's almost like working with a coding agent.

Ok, but then what's the point? How is having a small amount of compute in space useful?

I've heard this before and these are not comparable at all. Starlink is missing a few digits in it's power usage and heat dissipation needs compared to a datacenter.

I've heard this before. A datacenter and a starlink sattelite are not in the same ballpark of power usage and heat dissipation needs. The are orders of magnitude off from each other.

Anyone who has googled just once to ask if datacenters in space make any sense, has found out they don't because they can't get rid of heat.

That leaves only two kinds of people left who are still talking excitedly about datacenters in space: The uninformed and the grifters.
