<p>I've owned multiple generations of Apple watches before and the battery life made me ditch it. After about a year, the watch wouldn't even last a full day with mostly passive usage.<p>I'm considering trying Ultra just so the battery can comfortably last full day without entering power saving mode by 8pm.<p>Disappointing to see Apple doesn't consider battery life to be a major problem. They keep balancing efficiency and battery gains with new features consuming more juice to keep battery life roughly the same as the previous generations.</p>

<p>> So your claim is that it's actually impossible to implement "efficient" anticheat on Linux? That's interesting.<p>This is absolutely not my claim and it's a pretty absurd interpretation of what I wrote.<p>My claim is that there's ample evidence that anti-cheat on Linux happens to be a pretty hard technical blocker and multiple companies at this point have chosen to ban the platform outright and take a revenue loss over trying to overcome this blocker. This directly contradicts your claim of "obviously few or no hard technical blockers" existing.<p>This does not imply it's impossible to implement. It implies that at this point implementing it would not justify the cost. This pretty much 100% matches the any reasonable interpretation of the term "technical blocker"</p>

<p>I don't play For Honour, but I'm monitoring Apex Legends pro scene and I know that Respawn has banned Linux because none of the existing anti-cheat solutions were good enough and the cost of maintaining their own solution was not worth the revenue Linux support was bringing.<p>Before the ban the cheater population was disproportionally high on Linux.</p>

<p>> There are obviously few or no hard technical blockers preventing Valve and the Linux community from supporting any game that runs on Windows<p>The announcement is a proof that your statement here is incorrect. Ubisoft is not banning Linux because they hate you and your money, but because there's a hard technical blocker to implementing an efficient anti-cheat system on Linux and the cost of overcoming this technical blocker is presumed to be higher than the loss of revenue they're incurring from losing your business.</p>

<p>Which one did it not prove wrong? The fully AI written version of Bun has released, fixed a ton of bugs that existed in the zig version, added a lot of new features and performance improvements and has been  shipping with every single installation of claude code for months, the most widely used LLM-harness out there.<p>By every single measurable metric this is better software than the old hand-written version ever was.</p>

<p>I fully AI-driven rewrite of a massive codebase from one language to another within a reasonable release-cycle has never been done before.<p>There was a lot of sentiment around the lines of:<p>- Bun is done for, it's all slop now<p>- there's no way a fully AI-written codebase can work<p>- Jarred is an idiot for trusting AI to rewrite the whole thing<p>- they're never going to release this, there's going to be a billion of bugs<p>This release proved all of this wrong. It also serves as a great advertisement of how capable Anthropic models and harness are to enable this.</p>

<p>The rewrite part of get to functionally equivalent to the existing zig version in rust did in fact take 11 days based on the available data. When that was done, they spend some time on a ton of new features and hardening and bugfixing that the Rust rewrite enabled. This took additional time.</p>

<p>> working on but still do it anyway with no controls?<p>They are constantly talking about how dangerous it is and how it needs some controls. This is not an easy problem to solve however and controls don't magically appear just because you want them.<p>The option of just not working on it is also off the table.<p>A lot of super smart people working full time on this problem still haven't figured it out. What do you want the CEOs to realistically do here?<p>> The same people that drool over the possibility that they could rule the world via AI and robots?<p>This is just your personal conjecture. I see no real evidence of this.</p>

<p>This is a huge win for Bun & Anthropic. I've been keeping an eye on Bun development cycle since they announced the Rust rewrite and the huge drama and backlash it generated. They seem to be proving the skeptics wrong with this release.</p>

<p>I genuinely find it strange. Like, I can understand intellectually why those people might dislike AI CEOs, but I personally disagree and find most of the reasons to hate them pretty dumb.<p>Those are some pretty smart people working on the bleeding edge of miracle world-changing technology. Despite being pretty smart, they're also confused and disoriented by the thing they're creating but have no choice but to push forward. They're pretty open and candid about their worries too. Unlike most people, I personally see them as trailblazers and pioneers, not as loathsome parasites.</p>

<p>We might be living in different worlds, but for me Uber is infinitely better than taxis. I can get it anywhere, within minutes and it's clean and nice. I see where they are and I know exactly how much I'm going to pay to get to my destination. I don't even know how or where to hail a taxi these days, but all the taxis I got into at the train stations and in some airports were a huge downgrade from Uber — dirtier, older/shittier cars, inaccessible front seat.<p>Also, Uber Eats delivers food that used to be pretty much non-deliverable. There's no comparison, it's a pure net-additive capability. You just couldn't get a lot of foods without physically going there and now you can.</p>
