It won't work in those cases. Do you have explicit examples? I suspect this won't come up much as Rust has, IME, much broader target support. (Including platforms without a GPOS)

You can do that too. I generally prefer rust as it's a nice lang to work with.

This is a nice party trick! I use it to provide easy installation of software that is written in rust, but is primarily used by Python users. (e.g.: Biology tools) They can do `pip install <name>`, since some people prefer this over d

What pains you in particular? Any specific posts, trends, or tool choices here?

Sol High-Xhigh, and Opus 5. Granted, yesterday I threw a few tasks to Astra which the former 2 botches; it produced clean, correct solutions quickly, so pending further eval, this may take over. IMO unless it's a mechanical tasks, it&#

EGUI. Note: You ask different people, and they will all have their favorite tool kits. GPUI is very promising but new. There are a pile of others people will vouch for like Druid, Tauri (Electron-like but faster?) Slint (As the sibling post

Rust is great for GPU programming, or at least for writing the Host (CPU) side without friction. WGPU or FFI-based Vulkan etc bindings for graphics. Cudarc + normal Cuda kernels for general purpose compute. I bring these up as they're

It is interesting to see the different patterns used due to different cases and tastes. For example, my concurrency patterns rarely use locks, and are instead usually one of: - Dedicated hardware via DMA, multiple cores/MCUs etc

With certain rough edges like complex traits and Async aside, rust is an S-tier lang in several domains. Of interest: - Embedded - PC desktop applications - Computationally-intense scientific programming. (Chem, structural bio etc)

I believe the disconnect is that the goal isn't to be as good quality as a controlled indoor environment; it's that there are car setups that sound dramatically better than other car setups. There is merit to your interlocutors st

I am wondering about using ML/AI for quantum chemistry; ORCA is S-tier software and docs, but is very slow!

Niels Bohr, the Great Dane, was one of these skid greasers! He worked with the queen of Sweden, and also used his academic contacts in various countries to secure jobs/visas.

I appreciate the explanation! I'm a noob at this sort of thing. (My experience with pointers is limited to MMIO and C FFI). Regarding trusting the programmer: is that in the context of pointers, or more broadly? I'm betting I&#x27

My mental model of Zig is that it is explicitly the language for developers who prefer using pointers in business logic (instead of just in MMIMO, and are looking for something with improvements over C); i.e. exactly this class of abstracti

Sulfur or similar may be more politically viable due to the tradgedy-of-the-commons. They can be enacted without as much consensus, maybe.

This sounds like "Smart person who has little technical experience and might have cognitive decline from age". The world is fully of people who's intelligence is legitimately lower than you might expect.

It's all factored in! The unimaginably vastness of the cosmos: Past, future, at astronomical through Planck scales. You have no agency; free will is an emergent phenomenon. You are not smarter than all those quants with their Ivy leagu

I think this is generally mitigated: When traveling, people use the card that doesn't have this fee. You have cards A and B. Has a fee; B doesn't. At home you use either. When traveling, you use B.

There is still no way to search or filter your list of projects in the Claude sidebar, or get it to show you the active ones.

This echos the FCC rules in the US, which I believe are gotten around by not complying. Even if you are not making an intentional radiator, and/or are using datasheet-specified layouts or modules, you still must comply, which makes the
