In the Age of AI coding, this lovely cool demos are no longer interesting anymore. I use to appreciate them by the craftsmanship and hacking aptitude they required, but now AI took away that joy of watch this for me.

I kind feel this might be good. Bot writen comments and AI media that can no longer be distinguish from real, will make us human leave the social networks, which helped to separate Us humans. Going back to the real world were you can trully believe on what you see, and enjoy the tone, look and scent of of our fellows humans beings.

To not destroy the article author and apreciate his effort to prove something, that might be useful in a extreme case of optimization with a limited ammount of data and NO NEED to update/write the files. Just a read cache only.

If you need to ever update a single byte in your data, please USE A PROPER DATABASE, databases does a lot of fancy thing to ensure you are not going to corrupt/broke your data on disk among other safety things.

So far, each release of a new model is quite better than the last one, yes, but non of them lived up to the hype.

Thats a feature not an annoyance. We need to keep Rust like it is to preserve its core value delivey: Robust software quality in exchange for development & compile time/pain, in other words: "the pain is moved from production to development" you can not have joy in both at the same time.

Not sure if Rust should be promoted to build games, i prefer it being pushed to build mission critical software.

Not good comparision between artistic products vs hard requirement software product.

- If your movie is running out of time, you slash scenes, production etc.

- If your bussines software dev is running out of time and does not meet the minimun requirement, you can NOT slash it. Specially if it mission critical.
