> I guess my hope is that while this may be the case now, perhaps it won’t be eventually.

I hear you brother. I, too, hope that one of the two or three companies will be able to improve and displace everything. Who needs Linux anyway.

Hope you are on the right side of the fence.

Them putting services in EU (even as subsidiaries) is just a marketing strategy where they are straight up lying to customers so they can get more money.

I hate $THING Firefox does, and I'll complain about it, and I will use $CHROMIUM browser and not complain about that for some reason!

That has been there since at least KDE 3 and I do agree, I remember learning about that feature. 400 years ago and still chefs kiss.

Wow, imagine that they would say that, so strange, the ones without a skin in the game except for yay open source models!

The world would be better off without these three companies, how about that.

what I don't understand is, given the anthropic narrative, why on earth rewrite bun to rust, and not claude code to rust? why use typescript at all when the whole point is that languages don't matter anymore? I suppose it is solely because it would be a bad look on them to rewrite claude itself - it means they failed - but rewriting bun is a much better narrative - claude is fine! it's just his runtime we need fixing. and here is that token heavy story!

so weird people are not commenting on this.

it's like.. I dunno, rewrite linux in rust, because bun uses glibc, this will somehow make it better, so claude code somehow can run better?

hell, start with UEFI.

love that you somehow think that the other contenders are so much more trustworthy (and you have the top comment so others do as well) that you have to comment on it.

I know he is an AI influencer that promotes his blog any chance he gets.

I agree as well that he writes many interesting things.

Anyone care about these pelicans that always come up anymore?

Clearly at this point they are part of the training data.

They even all look sort of ish the same. Daytime, colors,...

Holy smokes has that's not just -> THAT IS become one of my trigger words.

Why do we need that?

Art should demand more of the creator than the person experiencing it.

The alternative is 9 billion who cares slop things.

Curious why you think that? Stuff like

> Yes, there is a relative scale level...

> Yes, having the smartest model will...

> yes Chinese AI companies have ...

yes yes yes, I didn't say anything, why write in a way that insinuates that I was thinking that?

I mean it doesn't come off as AI slop, so that's yay in 2026. But why do you think it is so good?

This comment was wildly invalid even years ago.

See proton, heroic launcher, etc, etc.

Cyberpunks own benchmarking suite runs 30% faster (for whatever reason; my wintendo install is stock and nothing but nvidia drivers) on the ntfs windows partition on Arch.
