<p>I like this article already because it took me to the goals of Rust for 2026. We use the language in our team, but we haven't needed to go very deep to do the stuff we need. Yet, I really enjoy witnessing the development of a language from ground up with so much community feedback.<p>I somehow miss noticing that in C++ and I have no idea how it is working in other domains.<p>My only gripe is that a lot of it is feeling a bit kick-starter-y, with each of the goals needing specific funding. Is that the best model we've found so far?</p>

<p>I've never understood how their Brave Credits were supposed to work, but I liked the idea that someone wanted to try out a different model to ads how we know them for about a century.<p>Ads made magazines, newspaper, news, radio, tv and now internet terrible to be with and I'm honestly curious what can be done to improve the situation.</p>

<p>I'll be honest that it was *long ago* that I made that attempt. Plus with the new AI denoise, it seemed even harder to move away from it.<p>But, if there's a battle-tested, mature UI, I'm up for giving it a shot. I have done no video editing, so no clue how my experience with DaVinci Resolve is going to go. I might give Darktable another go while I'm at it. Just tend to have a bad gut feeling about it.<p>Some people love tinkering. I do that as my job, so I don't often have the urge to do it when I just want to get shit done.</p>

<p>I'm in a similar camp where I'm stucking to windows for that one software: lightroom classic (or CC  as they call it). I'm happy to pay for a legitimate replacement that lets me go Linux native on a laptop. I'm fine even paying for the Adobe Cancellation tax from the money I save not buying Windows.<p>On that note, is this supported on Linux?</p>

<p>When I see someone just throwing a lot of numbers and graphs at me, I see that there are in to win an argument, and not propose an idea.<p>Of late, I've come across a lot of ideas from Rory Sutherland and my conclusion from listening to his ideas is that there are some people, who're obsessed with numbers, because to them it's a way to find certainty and win arguments. He calls them "Finance People" (him being a Marketing one). Here's an example<p>"Finance people don’t really want to make the company money over time. They just thrive on certainty and predictability. They try to make the world resemble their fantasy of perfect certainty, perfect quantification, perfect measurement.<p>Here’s the problem. A cost is really quantifiable and really visible. And if you cut a cost, it delivers predictable gains almost instantaneously."<p>>  Choosing to spend three weeks on a feature that serves 2% of users is a €60,000 decision.<p>I'd really want to hire the Oracle of a PM/ Analyst that can give me that 2% accurately even 75% of the time, and promise nothing non-linear can come from an exercise.</p>

<p>You don't know something is slow until you encounter a use case where the speed becomes noticeable. Then you see the slowness across the board. If you can notice that a command hasn't completed and you are able to fully process a thought about it, it's slow(er than your mind, ergo slow!).<p>Usually, a perceptive user/technical mind is able to tweak their usage of the tools around their limitations, but if you can find a tool that doesn't have those limitations, it feels far more superior.<p>The only place where ripgrep hasn't seeped into my workflow for example, is after the pipe and that's just out of (bad?) habit. So much so, sometimes I'll do this foolishly rg "<term>" | grep <second filter>; then proceed to do a metaphoric facepalm on my mind. Let's see if jg can make me go jg  <term> | jq <transformation> :)</p>

<p>I was actually wondering why haven't the computational geometry and shape optimization people found these structures so far.

<p>Well, claude at least was successful in getting me to pay. It became utterly annoying that I would hit the limit just with a couple of follow ups to my long running discussion and made me wait for a few hours.<p>So it worked, but I didn't happily pay. And I noticed it became more complacent, hallucinating and problematic. I might consider trying out ChatGPTs newer models again. Coding and technical projects didn't feel like its stronghold. Maybe things have changed.</p>

<p>I find the atrophy and zoning out or context switching problematic, because it takes a few seconds/ minutes in "thinking" and then BAM! I have 500 lines of all sorts of buggy and problematic code to review and get a sycophantic, not-enough-mature entity to correct.<p>At some point, I find myself needing to disconnect out of overwhelm and frustration. Faster responses isn't necessarily better. I want more observability in the development process so that I can be a party to it. I really have felt that I need to orchestrate multiple agents working in tandem, playing sort of a bad-cop, good-cop and a maybe a third trying to moderate that discussion and get a fourth to effectively incorporate a human in the mix. But that's too much to integrate in my day job.</p>
