Things in the OPEN?!

Assange, Snowden, Manning, just three of many and the massive things that came from that? And god knows what Musk & friends are up to.

Talk about being completely brainwashed by the US narrative and oblivious of recent history.

Who cares about opengl or d3d or hell even apis or standards in general at this point.

Apple has a trillion dollars a second to spend on tokens, I'm sure they can manage. Same for the others. Create your own.

Oh man I appreciate Google, I love Google.

I love closed down garden companies run by billionaries, I really do!

Man I love Google. I'm so happy they released some llm model Noone will give a shit about 3 weeks from now.

Thank you Google.

Fingers crossed they train on this and improve?

> I mean, it took Linux more than 30 years to come somewhat close to the desktop experience Windows has been given us.

LOL. Linux has been superior since about y2k.

But sure, enjoy your banners.

> I guess my hope is that while this may be the case now, perhaps it won’t be eventually.

I hear you brother. I, too, hope that one of the two or three companies will be able to improve and displace everything. Who needs Linux anyway.

Hope you are on the right side of the fence.

Them putting services in EU (even as subsidiaries) is just a marketing strategy where they are straight up lying to customers so they can get more money.

I hate $THING Firefox does, and I'll complain about it, and I will use $CHROMIUM browser and not complain about that for some reason!

That has been there since at least KDE 3 and I do agree, I remember learning about that feature. 400 years ago and still chefs kiss.
Wow, imagine that they would say that, so strange, the ones without a skin in the game except for yay open source models!

The world would be better off without these three companies, how about that.

what I don't understand is, given the anthropic narrative, why on earth rewrite bun to rust, and not claude code to rust? why use typescript at all when the whole point is that languages don't matter anymore? I suppose it is solely because it would be a bad look on them to rewrite claude itself - it means they failed - but rewriting bun is a much better narrative - claude is fine! it's just his runtime we need fixing. and here is that token heavy story!

so weird people are not commenting on this.

it's like.. I dunno, rewrite linux in rust, because bun uses glibc, this will somehow make it better, so claude code somehow can run better?

hell, start with UEFI.

love that you somehow think that the other contenders are so much more trustworthy (and you have the top comment so others do as well) that you have to comment on it.

I know he is an AI influencer that promotes his blog any chance he gets.

I agree as well that he writes many interesting things.

Anyone care about these pelicans that always come up anymore?

Clearly at this point they are part of the training data.

They even all look sort of ish the same. Daytime, colors,...

Holy smokes has that's not just -> THAT IS become one of my trigger words.

Curious how this thread would have been if Firefox did that.
Why do we need that?

Art should demand more of the creator than the person experiencing it.

The alternative is 9 billion who cares slop things.

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @06:09PM (#47800173)
Curious why you think that? Stuff like

> Yes, there is a relative scale level...

> Yes, having the smartest model will...

> yes Chinese AI companies have ...

yes yes yes, I didn't say anything, why write in a way that insinuates that I was thinking that?

I mean it doesn't come off as AI slop, so that's yay in 2026. But why do you think it is so good?

This comment was wildly invalid even years ago.

See proton, heroic launcher, etc, etc.

Cyberpunks own benchmarking suite runs 30% faster (for whatever reason; my wintendo install is stock and nothing but nvidia drivers) on the ntfs windows partition on Arch.

Oh the billion bollar vc backed pre ipo companys story was this? Omg and they somehow are not delivering up to your standards? Damn they better get their act together lest people like you will whine on twitter about them losing their way
What is so fucked up about this is that THEIR WHOLE RAISON D'ÊTRE is knowing more about you than you do.

You think they need this to know your age? Your gender? Your home, your birthplace, your political stance?

Everybody says this. It's so weird.

How on earth will epic win without exclusives? It's like launching some Facebook competitor "but you get two profile pictures". Noone would switch.

All these geeks singing steam and lamenting competition. Competition bad for me mkay, steam good.

Re:Opera: Rewind The Web to 1996 (Opera at 30) on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @09:04AM (#47501992)
If you use an extension like vimium, you get this by using the standard [[ and ]] vim motions for this.

Also, using the keyboard for navigation, while it sounds like a chore, is really quite excellent, and I prefer it to the mouse, as crazy as that might sound.

Re:Astral to Join OpenAI on Thursday March 19, 2026 @08:00PM (#47448309)
Given their statements, influencers and indeed their raison d'être I don't understand why this and bun was acquired? Why did they not just Ralph loop it? Claude is famously not made by humans anymore.

One prompt and call it a weekend. Surely they have the compute.

Oooooh, right.

Same reason we don't have windows 41 either.
