Can you just make a screenshot and save it to a dedicated folder?

They ask you to update SDKs and target Android versions every year, IIRC. So the same philosophy is applied to their OS and devices: they are planned as short-lived artifacts.

I still think that generating a Zig-Rust transpiler would be a better approach, given all the LLM quirks, including the ability to just /goal the model with binary-identical LLVM bytecode.

However, an open-sourced tool like that would've greatly harmed the Zig ecosystem and community.

This topic starter. I saw a post on Twitter in "for you" feed, verified it, found an interesting bit (rewriting prompt) and started a topic on HN. Like I said, I never expected it to hit #1.

Bun may become unusable after Antropic meddling with it. In that case the expertise would be wasted. It's not a great deal for most of users, but still.

I couldn't use that title because I didn't know if it an experiment at the moment. Even now the correct title would be "Bun author says that he is entertaining the idea of porting it from Zig to Rust, creates an experimental branch".

I am a topic starter, and I had no emotional response, was just being curious. Never expected it will land at HN #1. I specifically posted the link to the first commit and not to the whole branch, because currently the prompt is the most interesting part.

Thank you for the clarification!

While you are here, can you elaborate on the method chosen? For example, why not write a conversion script for phase A? I mean, same Anthropic model will produce it in no time, prompting it is at the same cognitive load level, but you would have a deterministic result.

Lots of people, me included, heavily invested their time and expertise into Bun, using it as a daily driver, to bundle production code or even using it in production as a JS/TS runtime. Of course, we are interested in Bun to stay a useful tool. The Anthropic acquisition was worrying enough on its own.

I can see some logic in that China has a very relaxed attitude toward copyright and IP.

On the contrary. If you really do this street-corner experiment, 80% of answers would be "I want my phone to last longer on one charge." Other 20% will be "I want my phone to charge faster". No one will say, "Oh, I want it to be foldable," or "Oh, I want an AI inside my phone." Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Mobile phones are totally okay the way they are now. No one needs new ones, and almost no one wants new ones. My previous phone lasted for 5 years. I changed the battery halfway, of course - it took a repair guy in a local shop about an hour.

"Prediction markets" are just scams where insiders trade against suckers. So those who are not insiders should understand that their money will be alleviated by insiders, end of story.
