This is Rust not Python

They're both optimised out by the compiler. If you disable compiler optimisations, they're identical in machine code anyway, unless you introduce a second loop, in which case the first will be more memory efficient as the memory used in the first loop can be reused in the second loop, whereas if you declare the variable outside the loop it can't (again, without compiler optimisations, which make the whole comparison pointless).

I'd wager the same one who put all their energy into the the big bang then has just had the worst hangover ever since

I think Mistral is model-available (ie I'm not sure if they release training data/code but they do release model shape and weights), huggingchat definitely is open source and model-available

can't ban pages anymore with https, and while they don't want to be lumped in with the authoritarian states that ban all on Wikipedia, they are like them at heart

I doubt society will go fully paperless, there are times when you need a thing that can be crushed, folded, whatever and doesn't run out of battery, so unless e-ink technology develops in a very specific way I don't think every eventually will be replaced, and even without purely functional applications I think art would never ever go fully paperless for many data security (leaking art before it's complete), economic (things are more expensive when they're limited in supply, and making either legal or illegal copies of digital things is so much easier) and sentimental reasons (it's just nicer to have something physical) reasons

They're native to Africa, Europe, West Asia & Central Asia, which covers around 3 billion people

East & South Asia have the Asiatic Honey Bee which is closely related enough that their introduction wouldn't disrupt the ecosystem as they fill the same niche in the same way

That leaves only around 15% of the global population somewhere European Honey Bees even have potential to become invasive, so it's a safe bet that they aren't for most people

Idk, last I checked the European Honey Bee was native, but I guess you could prefer bumblebees?

Yes, but all mammals by definition produce milk

Thing is this isn't even the second time mothers secreting food for babies has evolved - some birds do it as well as mammals (birds are basically just mammals 2.0 really, warm blooded, big brains, produce milk, highly active)

I read (this morning) that there's a theory that hiccups are a reflex to pump air across one's gills, and are more common in foetuses & premature babies as their lungs aren't fully developed...

So I guess if that is the case (as it's a theory) then yes, just not in humans - they're remnants of over 300 million years ago

Le Creuset pot - I got one for Christmas 2018 from my parents shortly after going to university and despite being used around 3 times a week since then with plenty of stews burnt onto the bottom it still looks like new

We need visas now 😡

I tried to move to Munich or Hamburg (also Helsinki but that's not Germany) to get out of London but nobody, even for jobs way below what I'd already got in London, would sponsor me a visa despite me speaking passable german (not great but I studied in school and as an extra-curricular at uni)
