I don't think it'll have access to the macOS connections, and certainly cannot act at the kernel-supported level as a firewall on the Mac side.

Would a better image be destroying the power plants and water desalination of 90M people?

I personally would have a better image of the ongoing war if it had any objectives that felt achievable.

Out of curiosity, what do you think is the best realistic outcome for this war, from the US perspective?


One should never draw a redline they aren't willing to cross. Trump of all people should know this, he gave Obama shit for years over the uninforced redline with Syria over chemical weapon use.

To Trump, when someone else does something, it's worthy of reproach, but when Trump himself does it, it's the cleverest 4D chess anyone could ever imagine.

A more fundamental aspect of his character is that everything his enemies does is bad and stupid and everything he does is good and genius.

So if Obama allows red lines to be crossed, it's totally different. Trump has a long history of bluster and hyperbole and - look - we re-elected him so I guess it can be a winning strategy.

Or it was. Now that people are calling his bluff on tariffs and genocide, there isn't so much winning.


So is Bun saying that JSC is much better than v8?

It's more that Zig is faster than JS. The speed advantages of Bun come from all the Zig bindings, not the JS interpreter.

C and C++ as well, and nodejs has bindings.

They got radicalized, which was intensional from the right. Further, wealth and time has shifted the hippy ethos of the valley to libertarianism.

It’s amazing how often becoming rich makes one into a libertarian :)


How do the smaller models differ from what you guys will ultimately ship on Pixel phones?

What's the business case for releasing Gemma and not just focusing on Gemini + cloud only?


Its hard to say because Pixel comes prepacked with a lot of models, not just ones that that are text output models.

With the caveat that I'm not on the pixel team and I'm not building _all_ the models that are on google's devices, its evident there are many models that support the Android experience. For example the one mentioned here

Yes of course, but I imagine there's only one main LLM on the device. Otherwise it's a waste of space to have multiple multi-gigabyte models that you then have to load into memory.

I find the benchmarks to be suggestive but not necessarily representative of reality. It's really best if you have your own use case and can benchmark the models yourself. I've found the results to be surprising and not what these public benchmarks would have you believe.

It screams vibe coding. This is the anthropic look. Just ask Claude and give it a screenshot.

Vibe coding is also why this was released hours after leak instead of days/weeks.

Of course I expect it is vibe coding. It would be insane to code anything by hand these days. But that doesn't mean there is no creative input by the author here.

>> It would be insane to code anything by hand these days.

I strongly disagree, but it made me chuckle a bit, thinking about labeling software as "handmade" or marketing software house as "artisanal".


There's a lot of errors you can miss by coding by hand, even as a seasoned developer. Try taking Claude Code, point it at your repo, and ask it to find bugs. I bet it will.

Claude is actually a crazy good vuln researcher. If you use it that way, your code might just be more secure than written purely by hand.


Sure, just like drug-sniffing dogs. Whether they've actually found something or are just pleasing the operator is another story.

Depends on what you’re building and whether it’s recreational or not. Complex architecture vs a ui analysis tool, for example. For a ui analysis tool, the only reason you code by hand is for the joy of coding by hand. Even though you can drive a car or fly in a plane there are times to walk or ride a bike still.

Our organic artisanal code is written by free-range developers

"free-range" means fully remote, right?

Depending on your standards and what company is making it you could even have “cruelty free.”

You well on the path to AI-fueled psychosis if you genuinely believe this.

I genuinely believe this. Even if you're inventing a new algorithm it is better to describe the algorithm in English and have AI do the implementation.

At least it's more productive than AI Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, it is vibecoded, had to get it like in 10-15 minutes. I did not know how to write a piece of code 4-5 months back.

Must everything be artisanal for some people? </s>

Everyone is interested in using less tokens to accomplish the same task.

You said it’s untestable but then said a Swedish hospital did a study on it? I don’t see why things can’t be tested over a long term. There are many such studies.

Swedish hospital study was about desloratidine:

Metabolic theory of cancer is untestable in practice as you can't control all variables over long time.


I think we all know the answer to that…
