Have you taken a look at https://echo.tracerml.ai/eval/? It looks promising for sure!

Not really. If you compare Spanish politics with UK, for example.

Do you think that Latin-American music is the pinnacle of the Spanish language? Have you read Borges, Cortázar, or Cervantes? I suppose you don’t even know who are they.

It is less than the half, and there is a big unregulated economy in those regions.

Are you one of those Americans that think that Spain is in Latin-America?

You are counting only the words that have been accepted in the RAE dictionary. A word is only accepted when there is a noticeable usage. So there is a lot of words that have not reached the category of “word” officially, but they exist.

Apart from that, the dictionary only list root words, not derivatives.

I love the procedural trees, I was wondering if I should use the seals as a logo for some of my open source projects.

Great work!

No other country allows buying machine guns as easily as the USA. There are people with actual armories in their homes. That is impossible in most countries. Take it as you wish.

No country allow private citizens owning guns but America, because they can’t understand the 2nd amendment.

So you are an AI. I see. Do you know the concept of “retard” what does it mean to you? To have less parameters?

I also hope to get hired at a better company, can you tell me how?

I already told you two points, your rebukes are that “I’m not a software engineer”. That says more about you than about me.

Let’s have an engineering discussion? I am not the one that brought up Tucker Carlson to the conversation.

The maintainers have merged an enormous pull request in a week. They haven’t shown signs of understanding Rust. They are doing an experiment that can affect (via runtime bugs) to all bun users.

One difference between programmer and engineer is that the programmer worries about what they do, while the engineer worries about not only about what they do, but about the platform their application run.

And you bringing the fringe entertainers of the illiterate Americans is totally unnecessary.

The problem is that we are not talking about an application but a runtime. A bug in the Bum platform can have much more serious consequences than in a lone app. Unless there is a deep thoroughly review by the maintainers, I wouldn’t trust it.

This is my fear wrt Bun. That they have translated Zig into non-idiomatic Rust.

Deno was already implemented in Rust, and not done by vibe-coding.

Would you trust a fully vibe-coded runtime? Not some features, not some fixes, but a full translation from one language to another.
