The Regime with Kate Winslet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Regime_(miniseries)

It’s to boost the volume during Power Ballads.

“Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Here are some discounts on Frog Repellants. Would you like me to purchase one for you?”

The whole thing is pegging my BS meter, including letting an L5 deploy without a code and architecture review, TC, and the fact that they’re posting this and claiming they’re still there.

Barry White’s growly rendition of “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

A slow (12 mph), space-hogging, sharp-cornered, four-wheeled, enclosed vehicle, going down the bike lane and forcing bike riders to overtake in auto traffic. Every once in a while, it will come to a dead stop in the lane, while the driver stands outside in traffic, swings the cargo doors open, then goes off to make a delivery.

Obviously, they thought all this through during the design phase. Which is why they added the fake pedals.

Does it have the old CHAdeMO charging port or did they switch to CCS or NACS?

If CHAdeMO, you may have trouble finding public chargers that support it, so you’ll need to carry around an adapter.

Can be used in philosophy classes to illustrate the concept of “free will.”

On the AI coding IDE side, VSCode has pretty much hoovered up everyone, mainly because JetBrains offered their own AI option, which kept competitors away. On the server side, though, integrating with AI is still wide open.

You eventually have to hit Python because of all the ML libraries. But you can run that as a separate microservice or process. Here’s a chance to do something whacky, like let JS invoke Python-ML inline, or port the main ML libraries to JS, or cross-compile JS to CUDA (just spit-balling here). It’ll be a lot easier to try these experiments than trying to push it upstream into Node.

Plus, Bun is used by a bunch of cross-platform CLI tools, including Claude Code, so they can make sure there are no breaking changes.

TBH, I’m surprised nobody’s snapped up Mojo (and Chris Lattner). They have a lot more advanced, AI-relevant, cross-platform tech.

More into skulduggery with a side of tomfoolery.

Pretty well done. Have been a print subscriber since the relaunch.

Come back when you have building content data.

No, wait…

“… at today’s infrastructure costs.”

If everyone talks up the AI crash, there will be a lot of hardware that will become available at fire-sale prices. Anyone with a lot of cash or a line-of-credit will be able to pick them up for pennies on the dollar.

NVidia, however, will have to deal with a glut of 1-2 yo GPUs re-entering the market. They may get into buying them and trashing them just to keep the supply low and prices up. Sort of like a stock buyback.

Either way, strange times ahead.

It’s not a bad outcome. Bun is cool but has $0 revenue and some hand-wavy thing about future paid cloud services. This way, larger companies will give them a more serious shot than they would a small startup.

It still doesn’t have a revenue story, but it’s now strapped onto the side of one of the few AI companies with a decent chance of surviving the next AI Winter. And if Anthropic goes sideways, the Bun engineers can fork the code and keep going.

Cygnus will remain attached to the orbiting laboratory until no earlier than March 2026, when it is scheduled to safely depart and dispose of up to 11,000 pounds of trash and unneeded cargo when it harmlessly burns up in Earth’s atmosphere.

Literally:

It’s not PII, but it is PII-relatable. The website could give you the same answers by having you enter the first 11 digits - leaving out the unique serial number part of the VIN.

A privacy-oriented website that asks for your unique VIN number to be sent to them 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks! Big fan of local and on-device anything.
