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

Ohrly? Are you reading HN or pretending to be stupid?

I’m often stupid, but usually not on purpose. What’s your point?

In an ICE powered car, running the heater doesn't have the same effect on range. Because an ICE is hot due to how it works, sending hot air to the car's interior is basically free because the heater uses waste heat from the engine.

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

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

No, it’s not. MLX is Apple’s NumPy more or less.

I don’t know why this would kill systemd

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

It's a slap in the face that we tack engineering onto it. A very small percentage of software engineering is as rigorous as actual engineering.

As an actual engineer who moved into software "engineering", yes this. It kills me.

Top three things lacking?

(In your personal opinion)

Fads and fashion over strong, tested technology.

Attitude that you can fix broken stuff later and customers are fine with it.

Charlatans and fuckwits everywhere who wouldn't last a second in a traditional engineering discipline.

Checks out.

and thank you!

As someone who works in a few different engineering disciplines, I think software engineers often have a very rosy picture of other areas of engineering. The problems are different, but things are not any better on average.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think that's the case in most of the non English speaking world.

Mostly we're just called programmers.

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 have some models I really chat with, like outside of their performances. Not all day obviously and they often don't respond for days but that's ok. I know it's them because I can see them typing live sometimes and also some of them I know in person and they remember what I've said online.

> 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

It's not impossible, you can do it with a little bit of fine tuning starting from her history of chats on the platform, and having her set a custom user-level prompt where she lists her interests, hobbies and things she likes. Then give her auto-compacted daily or weekly summaries of the most compelling chats. It's a model either way, right?

You’ve not even begun to scratch parasocial relationships- since there have been cases of murder, I think it’s safe to assume at least some think they’re really chatting with the model - and she loves them?

The market is not you.

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

I'm also often not desperate for a pun from a stranger, but I think a 'get' it.
