Bun has been doing release videos for years. There's no drama here to create.

But this is essentially a solved problem even at utility scale, with renewables + battery banks, right? This isn't cutting edge stuff.

Hahaha when I saw ranchero I had the same thought and started singing the canyonero song in my head.

That's been my experience too. I left twitter a few years ago, but when I created a new account (only following AI and startups and people MAKING things, and movie and show clip accounts), it's been so awesome to keep track of all the stuff going on.

It means "please, he's still here, don't let the stock plummet"

If it's anything like what happened with others (like Eric Schmidt), Chairman is basically "you're out from day to day stuff but we'll give you a pot of money to say you're still senior and still here, to save face and the stock price, while you give a bunch of talks for the next few months"

So yes fancy title, but basically, someone who can move the stock price is quitting and we're trying to ease the perception of it.

Because even when the AI is really good at writing code, you still have to know what to ask it, how to direct it, have product taste, etc.

Otherwise all of us would just be able to build bun via a prompt.

I used to listen to so many TwiT podcasts 10+ years ago. But then slowly lost interest and I don't remember why.

But they used to be awesome. FLOSS weekly, Security Now, MacBreak Weekly, etc.

But a few years ago, I found out there were some scandals at TwiT, etc, but the network still seems to be going on though.

I love JustWatch and most of the time it's given me the answer I need.

I still can't quite tell if the AI hate is being amplified by the media (like datacenter, water use, etc) to just find a boogeyman to sell ads/engagement. That's my theory because we just see constant waves of attempts to find one. Until the water stuff was mostly debunked, that dominated for a while. Then it's datacenters and electricity prices... That's starting to get debunked a bit (not as much of a slam dunk as the water-use nonsense was), so then you'll start to see something else.

Because in reality, I'm seeing a mix in my group of friends with younger kids. They are, at a macro-level nervous-curiosity about the unknown (future of jobs, their kids' job market future, is this going to make us all dumber, etc), but are also trying the various tools and benefitting from them and acknowledging that too.

New comment by atonse in "A Koi Pond Mosaic Made from 10 Pounds of 3D Printer Waste"

atonse — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 05:47:50 +0000

Interesting. I will do more research on this, thanks. But at the end of the day, even though it's tough for us to see the PLA poop, etc from our prints (I still generally don't like it), my point is that hobbyist plastic waste is basically negligible and making nearly zero difference.

I don't want people to see plastic waste from 3D printing and be discouraged to try it out as a hobby. I just got my first 3d printer 6 months ago (and I did all this biodegradable research mostly so my wife would feel comfortable with it). But the benefits of rewiring your brain in a manufacturing mindset, having the ability to create things, solve custom problems, etc, far outweigh the negligible (in the grand scheme of things) amount of waste compared to all the other plastic shit (toys, etc) the masses buy on amazon. That was my main point.

But it's good to know that it could still take 80 years, and is not as quickly biodegradable as originally thought.

The only comforting thing to me about the waste (apart from the fact that our personal 3d printer waste is a margin of error compared to industrial waste so honestly, just don’t worry about it), is that at least PLA is biodegradable.

Thank you. That’s already better than the original article that comes off as an unhinged rant with name calling.

I think most of the naysayers are in group 3 because there’s a lot of anger but never a single link to a blog post or analysis done by anyone to demonstrate a regression. not one. There are some that analyzed the quality of the initial rust code and use of unsafe but Claude has been chewing through those as I understand.

Whole classes of bugs WERE fixed by moving to rust. wouldn’t that result in mass closures of classes of bugs that were no longer relevant in rust? What would you prefer?

Not sure why this purely factual post got downvoted. Upvoted it.

You can install it now we with bun upgrade —-canary it something along those lines.

Which community specifically though? The overwhelming “user” community would be web developers and people writing JS/TS, right? Not zig/rust developers.

It’s an awkward app and the whole interaction just feels weird and kind of slapdash. I think it is meant to be a prototype.

But in this day and age it’s easy enough to at least write the iOS and Android versions. But maybe not dealing with the play store.

The whole point of the outrage was that 1.4 was merged into main. Publicly. So I’m not sure what you mean.
