I would guess patents. If you don’t get the rights for an for an existing design, you need to build your own from the ground up

We're talking about the seat heaters though. I'm pretty sure heated seats use resistive heaters and not waste heat from the engine

A standout paragraph from that thread:

> Put more simply, we are going to make these enhancements, but hacking them in for a flashy headline isn’t a good outcome for our users. Instead we’re approaching the problem with the care it deserves, so that when we ultimately ship it, we don’t cause regressions.

These exact changes are already on the roadmap and Bun’s PR is rushing ahead.

Using the heated seats will cause you to loose range on every car, not just electric

Some civilian casualties may be unavoidable in a conflict sure, but the US and Israel are not trying very hard

Probably around the same time as the Citizens United decision. Supporting a business with your money also means supporting the things they choose to spend that money on

From my experience, Claude Code is just better. Although I recently started using Zed and it’s pretty good

My understanding is that MLX is Apple’s CUDA, so a CUDA translation layer would target MLX

I’ve never had respect for the industry as a whole, only individuals within. There has a been a serious lack of rigor and professionalism in software engineering for as long as I’ve been a part of it

I can’t believe that someone paying for this actually expects to chat with the model. Just think of the logistics, it would be impossible

I don’t think it’s an age thing, I think is desperation. I’m not desperate enough to get it

superb_dev — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:59:56 +0000

I’m pretty sure the dictionary just gets put on the front of the compression algorithm’s “context” so that it can be referenced just like any other part of the document. You wouldn’t need individual blocks with different compression schemes, it would all get compressed together.

How is long term ethnic cleansing different from genocide?

Im questioning whether the Israelis are the good guys. Frankly I don’t know how you can look at their history of provocation and unbalanced retaliation and not begin to wonder if maybe they aren’t the good guys

Or you could use the previous version to generate the dictionary for the current version?

I would assume chunks that didn’t benefit from the dictionary would receive the standard compression, so you can’t get worse than gzip.
