Not really, this seems to be a very traditional "we need more cores, captain!" and "here's a datacenter with cores" rental.

Anthropic has grown 80x this year (according to their CEO). They are probably desperate to buy more inference compute for things like Claude Code, not for future investments. In the mean time, Grok seems to not have enough traction to utilize all the spare compute xAI has built with Colossus I and II.

This is one of those cases that shows that Elon is exceptionally better at atoms than he seems to be on the software side.

LOL thank you domain squatters. I can't think of any other reason why startups often always have the most ridiculous names.

It would mean it was done carelessly if it was done by a human in a week. Or if the test suite was sloppy. But it was done by an AI in a week.

We have to change our perception of time with AI. An AI can read war and peace in half a second.

That's why they've merged it into canary so they can continue working on it.

> Their biggest problem is spending their money faster than it grows.

Yep this is an interesting thing that most of us don't tend to think about when it comes to philanthropy (or even gov spending) ... it's really really hard to _spend_ money effectively.

Because there's all the work around accountability, checking for fraudulent applications, checking if your money made an impact, deciding where to even focus, all those things.

I would do the same but my issue is that the models are changing so fast, so I don't want to be left out of the next model cuz it only runs on an even newer GPU or something like that.

But maybe my limited understanding is thinking of this wrong.

I have full faith, it's the same really smart people that built bun (Jarred and team) that have spearheaded this and are running it. So I have no reason to believe that this was done carelessly.

That said, I'm still shocked and amazed that something this big is possible these days. But as we've seen multiple times now, one of the most important things your codebase can have is a solid test suite.

I will continue to use bun, because at the end of the day, it isn't just the technology, but the talent/people behind the technology that ensures that it will be solid.

And since that hasn't changed, I will still trust bun and its direction.

Also, bun is mostly glue code and sort of "user space" libraries (my words) as Jarred has said on X, most of the underlying runtimes like JavascriptCore, etc weren't rewritten.

So this isn't like 100% of what we think of as bun was rewritten. It's more like the scaffolding and harness.

I would agree with you on most situations (like 1040 personal income taxes especially).

But in this particular tax credit, there's no way for the gov to know automatically what percentage of payroll was spent in qualified R&D expenses, since it's day to day business operations. Which is why we are _forced_ to hire an outside firm and pay them thousands of dollars (when Claude did an even better job), just to analyze how much of our time qualified as R&D expenses.

The problem I have is that I am forced to have to find a firm to do this, and most firms won't even work with companies as small as ours. So then we're stuck and losing out on years of R&D tax credits at the moment, when I really don't need them anymore, to be honest.

I have a similar claude story (much less money though), with the IRS R&D tax credit. The auditing firm initially said we qualify for $0. But then I had claude analyze past R&D reports and our expenses and it found the problem. The auditor had miscategorized our company.

So claude drafted an email even pointing to the right Internal Revenue Code (IRS Law), and specify why we fall under a specific category. The auditor got back to me two days later admitting their mistake and said our company now qualifies for $8k in tax credits. And a few months ago, it identified items in our AWS that saved us $250 a month (paying for itself).

So now I joke that even if I have a claude max plan, I've still come out ahead financially.

Really? I extensively use AI for shopping recommendations now, down to 3d printer filament, I don't touch sites like Wirecutter.

I was even at a shoe store the other day and just took a pic of a whole shelf full of sneakers and asked claude to explain them for my use case (running vs tennis).

It combines research with a buying decision, which most eCommerce sites don't currently do (except for just listing hundreds of reviews)

You can see the details here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/behind-the-scenes-hardenin...

But both things can be true. It could be a huge leap (see Firefox’s example) but also find almost nothing in an already well maintained and audited codebase, and that could mean there isn’t much to find.

This is where I think either realtime transcription (or just in time followed by deleting everything) will be an end state.

Especially real-time transcription where the AI actually takes notes (instead of just recording every word and has a dump of it somewhere) can be appealing. Then there isn't any record of the raw sentences, and things that aren't relevant are immediately discarded without any written record.

OpenAI's realtime whisper and other such models will become the default over time.

I had a totally different take. The fact that Mythos found only one vulnerability is testament to how solid curl is, not how bad Mythos is.

Look at the Firefox blog post where they found something like 400 (or more) findings.

I have no doubt Mythos is very good at this, but I also don't think it's something unattainable by other labs within the next few months, with focus.

I had the same experience with their shitty customer service but for something much smaller. I had red filament from bambu that was constantly getting clogged and they had me go through so many hoops. they had me measure the filament thickness in 10 places WITH CALIPERS and also FILM IT. all this shit was a waste of my time. After they asked for even more steps, I just gave up. I felt it wasn’t worth it for a $16 exchange.

But it left a really bad taste in my mouth about the company.

Consumers are used to stuff like Amazon customer service. I wasn’t expecting to waste all that time to exchange 1kg of filament. I thought they’d send it out no hassle and take back the defective filament to research it themselves.

So now when I recommend Bambu, I say the printers are great but their customer service is horrible. So be very careful.

I do think they're missing an affordable SUV (something that's a true 3-row SUV like the Model X but cheaper). And Musk has teased something like that recently.

And Rivian is about to make an affordable SUV. So overall, I am hoping that there is a vibrant ecosystem of EVs from companies that actually understand software (as opposed to many EVs that have shitty software). Not sure about Lucid.

I absolutely love it. I had a Model 3 for 7 years before that, and that car (at least in 2018) felt like a slightly beta car. Manufacturing was a bit shoddy in places, but still was an _awesome_ car to have for 7 years.

But the Model Y seems like they fixed everything I complained about with the 3. Smoother ride, everything feels higher quality, and FSD (if you can get it) is just amazing.

Anyway with Teslas, you feel like you're living 10 years in the future from everyone else on the road. But Full Self-Driving makes it feel even more stark.

Like I said, at the price points of the Model Y (at its quality), there aren't too many alternatives. At least in Sept 2025 when I looked. I wish there were.

I don't count BYD because I was never going to buy a BYD even if it was available, because of how deeply connected these cars are nowadays. Maybe it's irrational, but giving the growing drumbeat of some sort of conflict with China over Taiwan, it doesn't seem prudent to have a fully connected car phoning home to the CCP.

With EVs, Tesla's the only one in the US not phoning it in. I used to think they were until I got a new Model Y Juniper.

I don't count Rivian or Lucid until they actually have even somewhat affordable EVs.

But pretty much everyone else in the US is doing a piss poor job with EVs and just don't seem to care at all. Ford seemed to have lost interest in the F-150 lightning.

I agree that trade needs to be a two way street. But I'm not convinced yet on "affordable" since these might be severely subsidized by the Chinese Gov to undermine domestic car makers across different nations. I say might only because I'm not 100% sure.

Even if the trend doesn’t continue, the current models are very very good. They’re better than the average programmer in the industry, already.

That's why I mentioned them leaving. Because something about the culture didn't work, and they left.

Especially true if they leave before they're fully vested.

I'm not the parent poster which is why I still stick to looking at the people...

If you start seeing the people that created bun leaving Anthropic, then I'd probably start to worry. And I haven't seen any sign of that yet.

> I think it is insane that people got into a situation where they had committed to a javascript runtime that had to "figure out how to monetize at some point".

Why? What's the risk? It's open source. Also, speaking of open source, we are happy to commit to open source projects that have no monetization, nor any plans to ever monetize.

Sure but in the case of this article, seems like it doesn’t affect anyone else but the consumers of this product.

Since this has turned into a "giggle about fans" thread, one of my favorite company names is Big Ass Fans [1]. They make really large fans for warehouses, etc. And their logo is a donkey.

Congrats to the Zed team. I love that there's such a powerful and blazingly fast editor out there for us.

While it's been hard to use zed when the pull of claude/chatgpt desktop and terminal apps feel more full featured and take up more of the share of daily work, I continue to use Zed any time I do need to explore a codebase or review a markdown plan from an agent.

I hope that there can be improvements to the markdown preview because at least in my case, I'm using that feature a LOT these days.

Sorry, I don't follow. Are you saying that he should leave a social network website because some of its users are bad? Or that the people that run the website are bad?

And also, there's some alternate microblogging site that is less hostile to truth and civility? Which site is that?

It's all about who you follow. My feed is mostly AI people, entrepreneurs and nerds. Some political stuff gets through, but otherwise, I'm glad to be back on X in the last few months (I left a few years ago in disgust over the insane politics because even nerds were only talking politics).

> If it's not a problem, can I have read-only access to your financials?

Have you built a product like the OP and demonstrated that you've put a lot of time/thought/etc into the infrastructure? If not, then it's a clear no.

Also the credentials, etc are going to Plaid (and even with that, my few Plaid integrations have all been OAuth lately), not this company. This is exactly like Stripe. I'm not giving anything "sensitive" in terms of transactions to this company regarding bank details.

Yeah, clearly I haven't done any meaningful reading regarding Morocco. I will read up more to fix the gaps in my knowledge. :-)

100% agree with you. Especially with the amount of sun they get, would be a great candidate for Solar.

Renewables also seem to be the best pathway for many nations to attain some level of energy independence (which is NOT the same as oil independence though).
