<p>The fact someone who works on Bun is willing to create and even push a branch generated by a stochastic parrot is very telling of the direction the project is going.<p>Doesn't matter if it's "experimental", it's a dumb experiment that shouldn't exist.</p>

<p>The problem with floating point comparison is not that it's nondeterministic, it's that what should be the same number may have different representations, often with different rounding behavior as well, so depending on the exact operations you use to arrive at it, it may not compare as equal, hence the need for the epsilon trick.<p>If all you're comparing is the result from the same operations, you _may_ be fine using equality, but you should really know that you're never getting a number from an uncontrolled source.</p>

<p>Curious on what languages have a hard time saying Libre.<p>Every latin-derived language (which are most of the western languages) can pronounce it naturally, and even English speakers can approximate it well enough to be understood (even though they're incapable of pronouncing the non-retroflex `r`).</p>

<p>Airbnb, Uber and Amazon were already making everything worse. We're past the "bleak threshold" for over 10 years now.<p>Airbnb is inflating the real-estate bubble everywhere. Apartment building now are mass produced, tiny, and expensive, targeting investors who are only interested in Airbnb.<p>Uber/ifood and other transport/delivery apps are just working around labor laws, undoing centuries of progress towards worker rights and approaching slavery-like situations.<p>Amazon is just another monopoly, not sure why you put it beside the others, but it's one of the companies lobbying to make the world a worse place.<p>Then came crypto"currency", which started the "age of anything goes", where tons of money are thrown in the trashbin for the next speculative pseudo-tech bubble.<p>AI is just the bubble that came after crypto, little practical utility with lots of hype from billionaires who threw money at it.<p>After it bursts, there'll probably be another.</p>
