It does not matter, you (rust devs) won't use anything else either way and other people just don't care

But it can't, we see models get larger and larger and larger models perform better. made such huge improvements, because it makes more text for the language model to process. Cavemanising (lossy compression) the output does it to the input as well.

I think good, less thinking for you, more thinking you will do

I'd have mined the copied libraries with something that makes it possible to later change terms and extract fees, as it'd be expected that nobody reads the terms for such service

I'll never touch any git wrapper, because they've lied to me before and I can use git already. Everything that was there to be sped up has already been made into zsh functions.

Nvidia can also say no, they won't have choice but yield or not have AI at all

Maybe, but will they have to fight with borrow checker for doing some other than (the very OOP) DOM components? They'll obviously use both for a long time in the future, so more functional places can get Rust, while more OOP places can benefit from C++

Do you seriously think LLMs will not just spam unsafe blocks in it like they do with any task ever?

You do want a browser with RCE, but you want it to keep the it sandboxed. The hard part is executing the code safely

I have my doubts it'll ever be "finished". Servo gives strong vibes of a project that will avoid performance hacks, because they're not nice/state of the art code. I have no evidence, it's just the energy I've picked up from it

None at all, the generated AST and bytecode are stated to be identical

There is a flock of people yelling around that they'd contribute if it was Rust, but won't touch C++

He got his serenity and at the same time ladybird browser started getting somewhere, so he separated it out and went full on with it. From what I know, he was working on browsers before at Apple, so it was like he got ready to return

I hope it does not -> because we don't more browser crossbreeding

Last time I checked, Zig was breaking it's stdlib, so it's not an alternative imo

They've been stuck with swift adoption for a long time, abandoning that was the reasonable decision. That only leaves Rust as the second language to C++

Because they're not servo and servo is still in the race. Merging those projects is against making an independent browser(s)

Afaik, (extremely simplifying) refineries split crude oil into fractions; we burn lighter hydrocarbons as fuel, make plastics out of the middle/heavy parts and what's left in the pot are some heavy, dirty remains that we figured make good roads instead of being thrown out.

We've already hit the point that electric cars are cheaper to operate, yet photovoltaic prices keep falling. Even equipment like electric excavators is now a thing. Batteries keep improving. It'll compound to smaller and smaller fuel, thus oil needs, so there will be less refining, thus less asphalt.

The assumption wasn't that that there will be no oil extraction, it was that there might be a future without tons of almost free road material. But I have zero expertise in oil macroeconomics, the question might've been stupid, I don't know that, haha
