Anthropic acquires Bun

I wonder if this is a sign of AI companies trying to pivot?

> Bun will ship faster.

That'll last until FY 2027. This is an old lie that acquirers encourage the old owner to say because they have no power to enforce it, and they didn't actually say it so they're not on the hook. It's practically a cheesy pickup line, and given the context, it kinda is.

I would like to clarify that I wish I weren't right but I probably am.

Unfortunately that is also the definition of “practice”.

Practice expects same results. Not different results?

… pardon?

Are you confusing practice with rehearsal?

No. I mean practice. Please lookup the meaning of rehearsal.

I hate this quote. I often get different results when I do the same thing over and over again. Turns out there’s a lot of on-determinism out there.

On your first point: It doesn't read like that to me. It seems like they built one of their key products (Claude Code) on top of Bun, and want to have a say in it's development.
