Cool so this article calls out various types of coupling and offers no strategies for managing it.

Waste of time.

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They'll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.

Sir, I estimate the project will be completed in 135 days and 11 hours.

What if someone draws their own CSAM and they're terrible at drawing but it's still recognizable as CSAM?

Please explain.

AWS CLI is trash compared to gcloud in general.

As a US citizen, I'm starting to feel like a German during WWII. What the hell am I supposed to do when there is no real opposition to Israel running for president? The two party system has completely fucked the world up.

While on its face this bill seems like a way to counter terrorism, the wise among us see it as just another means of puppeteering a government office. The US is losing its status as a representational democracy for each bill like this one.

It's the worst option. It hurts everyone: Ticketmaster, artists, venues, fans, and yourself for missing out on the show you want to see.

They should compare defect rate with the Go teams. I'm curious if the advertised benefits of Rust's type system give some practical advantage.

EDIT: Just watched the actual talk. Apparently they did this comparison, and found that Rust has fewer defects when compared to Go.

This is fake, right? Right?

Honestly the only things that are similar to C++ are small amounts of C-like syntax, RAII, smart pointers, and iterators. And even so, Rust improves those features a lot. The list of things that Rust rejects from C++ is much larger; Rust does not have:

  • new and delete (perhaps discouraged in modern C++)
  • function overloading
  • inheritance (replaced by composition or traits)
  • friend classes (replaced by modules)
  • exceptions (replaced by Result values)
  • 6 different kinds of first-class constructors (hallelujah)
  • templates (replaced by constrained parametric polymorphism)
  • variable mutability by default

Rust does OOP very differently and leans harder into functional paradigms.

Yea I genuinely hope we get to the point where I don't have write code. Let me describe the architecture and algorithms with my voice in English. I'd much rather spend my time solving abstract problems than typing syntax. If I have to essentially "teach" the AI what I want by dropping down the ladder of abstraction sometimes, that's OK.
