It’s interesting, over the past 15 years I’ve had occasion to work with other c/c++ devs on various contracts, probably 50ish distinct different companies. Not once has rust even come up in casual conversation.

Ha that feels like the butt of this whole joke: “no we’re literally creating a god, what don’t you people understand? But this one will be a benevolent and wise god, not like a shitty one. Trust me.”

Agree. I have two recent Samsung smart tvs. The screen quality I like (OLED) but everything else about them I hate. I use a PS5 as an entry point for the tv, after the atrocious “tv boot up to functional time” which is a phrase I never cons

No, the “promise” is forced. It’s like an arranged marriage.

A single malicious scientific study can fool thousands or perhaps millions of real people as that fact gets repeated in different forms and amplified with nobody checking for a valid source. Llms are no more robust.

I was stuck in a very remote location trying to update vehicle software. I needed both a monitor and keyboard (long story, serial wasn't outputting, no ssh, partition table was hosed) and I had neither a keyboard nor a monitor. I now c

You’re conflating two things and ignoring the thrust of the point: nobody buys a fast car to drive it slowly. Maybe some people do, the vast majority do not. If promises about licenses meant a damn, we wouldn’t have speeding cameras.

“This person is corrupt!” Is that an opinion or a harmful false claim?

As long as you realize a strong Chinese dollar is the worst thing that could happen to China right now, and as long as we just excuse away the whole “LLMs make more money than they cost” (which they absolutely do not) sure thing.

I can’t tell you much I recommend getting off social media. I post here, and sometimes in a dynasty football reddit. You’ll realize how evil the whole thing is.

Are you making an analogy of having a moral obligation to engage in a flame war online?

I also feel like there is a bubble. However, looking at it impartially, it seems to mean sama is planning on making more money. Which seems to conclude in ads are incoming.

Why would the US want to fight a proxy war with Russia? Before the recent Ukraine invasion, nobody really cared about Russia. They were just kind of around, cheating at the Olympics was like the big news if anyone talked about Russia. What

It would be a "unique" situation. Most AMTs (not all, but most) only dispense $20 bills, the rarer ones will dispense $5s or $10s, and they're rare enough that I make a note of them. I have never encountered an ATM that gives

I agree with you, but I also don’t do webdev. Docker seems neat, I’ve dabbled just to understand the stack and how it works. Not much of a container person I realized. Closest I get is spinning out yocto images and flashing them to hardware
