I honestly did not know Node had all of these things now, but that is great to hear. Clearly I haven't been keeping up well enough.

Node didn't have all of these features when I initially went down the path of choosing Bun, so I have a number of existing projects that have Bun baked into them.

There is the SpaceX acquisition rumor, but that's not why.

I only use Cursor through the CLI, and while the UX of the CLI is pretty bad, I've found their harness (the prompts they use and orchestration of LLMs) to be nothing short of incredible. I can't comment on their agent development environment given I haven't spent a lot of time with it.

The reason I'm moving away from Cursor is cost. Unfortunately, if you want to use the SOTA models from both OpenAI and Anthropic you basically have to go direct through their subsidized plans.

The built-in sqlite and testing functionality is the reason I started using it over pnpm/Node.

This is a good take, and I hope you're right.

One favorable way to phrase it for Anthropic is they acquired Bun because CC and other internal tooling depended on it so heavily and they questioned it's future as purely OSS.

It remains to be seen how things will actually unfold.

These are just my opinions man :)

I do—commented on another thread, but:

  On Linux (maybe only certain distros, not sure) the keys are different, 
  but you can enable a Compose key and enable special character keybinds as well.
  
  For example on Mint:
    en–dash is "<compose> <minus> <minus> <period>"
    em—dash is "<compose> <minus> <minus> <minus>"

The post mentions that Reddit calculates a $20M/yr opportunity cost to allowing Apollo to continue running as-is. Apollo is trying to say that $10M one-time is a bargain if Reddit truly believes the users are worth $20M/yr.

I don't think Apollo is using this argument as some sort of leverage. Reading through the post, they seem well aware that they are defenseless. They only have the court of public opinion.

AMD GPUs are not as good as Nvidia's. The other issue that AMD and any other competitor has to face is that much of the new AI software uses CUDA, which as far as I know is limited to Nvidia hardware only.

What would the punishment for the offense be? If it is prison time, that also costs the tax payer.

I am assuming you're joking, but in the event you are not I can add some commentary here.

If an employer wants employees willing to go the extra mile, then they should offer compensation for those who choose to go the extra mile. This could come in the form of a performance bonus. The people who simply want to do the work they are paid to do and nothing more/less (i.e. the people the media is calling "quiet quitters") will get no additional bonus.

The name "quiet quitting" is disingenuous, as it leads you to think that it means someone is "quitting" when in fact they are just doing what they are paid to do.
