Lamborghini has been making prettier cars than Ferrari for 15+ years now. The entirety of the Ferrari line, looks-wise, is at best uninspired.

A lot of America's current problems can be pinned on journalism no longer being a prestige career.

The same investor who will buy SpaceX at 250 PE. They are all over the place, hence all the AI washing.

Without agentic coding the number go up narrative dies. There's your answer.

Yes, civil servants should be allowed to ply their trade without scrutiny.

What per cent of internal Microsoft IP runs through Anthropic? Do they not care about trade secrets, or certain groups allowed or not allowed to use tools that expose IP to external vendors?

On a certain level it is a scam. AI slop, vibe coding, tokenmaxxing, blaming employee layoffs on AI, pretty much any comment CEOs make about AI, etc.

Waymo, who's arguably the most competent operator by far, cannot handle Atlanta. But TSLA and its Potemkin village-like robotaxi service trades at 380 PE. Figure that one out.

I think you're low at 100. TSLA has 370 PE, and SpaceX is targeting 250+.

Too bad Enron is still not around. They'd have some real fun with today's electrical markets.

How does this work for Google? I read it costs them $0.001 to perform a search. No matter how efficient their inference chips are, the new cost basis has to be 10X or more. And the zero click Internet not only kills ad supported content sites, it also kills Google SERP ad revenues.

gzip is very fast, universally supported, and good enough. It will be around for ever.

you need python 3.14 for zstd.

Who cares if the plaintiff or defendant won? The trial had great expository value regarding all the players involved.

Our shop uses Mercurial, and I hop we never move to Git, but I do see us eventually moving to whatever is next.

New comment by jgalt212 in "Bun Rust rewrite: "codebase fails basic miri checks, allows for UB in safe rust""

jgalt212 — Sat, 16 May 2026 12:57:56 +0000

As a fan of Zig, and knowing that Bun is Zig's highest profile project, I am happy to hear that it wasn't this easy to excise Zig from Bun.

I guess they can just hook up the agent to Miri checks and let it grind away, and see what happens.
