When I read "open-slopware" I wanted to see OSSlop Adobe forks Now I'm disappointed -_-

There still may be Opus->Fable type bump when they finish training larger models. Remember, Grok 4.6 is still Opus-sized and they have larger models in training.

"Claude did implement multithreading in JS but we don't want to mantain a fork of WebKit" - jared apparently

Just @AGENTS.md should be enough, as @s is CLAUDE.md are inlined (and !`ls` are executed)

The ones who accept rewrites are expected to support it indefinitely.

That's why Jared didn't consider using it for Bun even if it's undeniably better, they don't have human resources to support it

1. Owning your own company stock is not having money, it's merely ability to control the company. Elon tries to be BDFL of his companies, so selling the stock is not really an option.

2. Stock valuation and money are not the same thing. As you could've noticed from the recent Bitcoin price drop, the moment you start selling it it starts to worth less. Tesla is bubble-priced, so it's sell price is at least 5 times less then valuation

3. Even if you get the money, distribution is much harder problem then you think after agreeing with this sensense. IIRC it was Musk who said "So you say you can fix the world hunger for $nnn? Bring me the plan how you are going to do it. Noone brought me a plan so far".

Since I know russian well, here's a proper translation for y'all

    FUNC FACT (N);
       NAMES: P;           (* variable names *)
       1 -> P;
       FOR I FROM 1 TO N ::
          P * I -> P
       DONE                (* endif *)
    RET: P                 (* return value *)
    END;                   (* end of function *)
    
    FOR N FROM 0 TO 6 ::
       ? "FACT(", N, ") = ", FACT(Н)   (* print *)
    DONE;

The amount of compute you get is not documented anywhere.

Cursor docs do say "You get $70 of api priced tokens on $60 tier"

Anthropic limits were 8.33x with free cached tokens, but those numbers themselves were a leak rather then an official statement

Cursor may be losing money only on $200 sub people who do over $200 of usage (it grants $400)

Everyone else pays them at API prices

And then you have a

    const CatDog = { bark(){}, meow(){} }
and

    const TreeCat = { bark: "oak", meow(){} }
and your code stops working

To make types discriminatable you need either

    type A = { bark: fn, meow?: never } | { bark?: never, meow: fn }
    type B = { species: "dog", bark: fn } | { species: "cat", meow: fn }
    or use instanceof with a class

Just to reiterate

ANTHROPIC IS GIVING EVERY DECENTLY LARGE MAINTAINER $1000 WORTH OF INFERENCE (~x8 that in API prices)

They likely made a marketing budget for this of $1M or so

Other OSS stuff like Copilot or JetBrains costs to providers much less, $100/yr most (licenses are not expenses, only inference is)

Anthropic may get $500(average total for all 6mo) per user of just inference costs

6 months is because this is experimental and they have no idea what to expect

(their devrel department is meh as you could've noticed already), when they see it working they'll make it autorenew or something

ESR (Eric S.Raymond) asked OpenAI to match and got one, so the same offer from OpenAI will likely follow soon[tm]
