I would propose that plenty of people are trying to use LLMs to build unique new projects, but without having been exposed to solutions to those problems, the LLMs are far less likely to succeed.

I am the only user. Sometimes it's the process that matters, and exercising your brain is important too. I get that there is a lot of existential dread around AI taking our jerbs, and excluding humans from the process of creative work, but... you can still just write code, just for the personal satisfaction.

(For non Rustaceans: "Placing a file named build.rs in the root of a package will cause Cargo to compile that script and execute it just before building the package.")

It's even more relevant to ask of the CEO/CTO/COO/etc. of the companies that are selling hard on eliminating humans from as many workflows as possible.

Ahhh crap.

These are still available today, although the chromate version seems less popular for general use due to toxicity, especially (I assume) in the case of a fire.

I have painted quite a few bits of sheet metal with a sea-foam-ish blue-green/gray paint back in the day (30 years or so ago). I don't recall the manufacturer, but it was a zinc conversion coating in nearly exactly that seafoam color, which has probably stolen at least a few years of my life expectancy. The same company sold other paints in a sickly mustard yellow, and close to fire-engine red, all with slightly different chemistries, I assume for different base metals.

The F35 also leaves Canada vulnerable to US policy, in as much as we're risking autonomy around any decision we make that isn't aligned with US interests, as long as we're dependent on their planes.

If I hired a junior dev and had to give them explicit instructions to not break the CI/lint, and they found NEW ways to break the CI/lint again that were outside of my examples, I'd hopefully be able to just let them go before their probation period expired.

Has the probation period for AI already expired? Are we stuck with it? Am I allowed to just write code anymore?

"Conspiracy believers not only consistently overestimated their performance on numeracy and perception tests"...

Compared to:

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability."

Although it's early on and these communications are often chaotic/inaccurate.

Of _course_ he wants to discourage competitors, but that is PR, not technical commentary.

Note the following advantages of RON over JSON:

  * trailing commas allowed
  * single- and multi-line comments
  * field names aren't quoted, so it's less verbose
  * optional struct names improve readability
  * enums are supported (and less verbose than their JSON representation)

If they had suggested a viable cold blooded herbivore, we might get somewhere.

For comparison, Russia had a 2.29 fatal accidents/million departures safety rating in 2021, which is terrible, worst of all operating regions. 737-maxes had a 3.08 in 2019 when they got grounded. Every other plane in North America is averaging about 0.20 right now.

Granted, the 737-max's stat is based on a fairly low number of crashes. Regardless, the odds of a fatal crash are still vanishingly low on any given trip.
