<p>I really hope one of these approaches gets bundled with the official (or gcc) toolchain one day. C++ is widespread enough that it should be supported directly like C and not require downloading yet another deptree from crates.io.</p>

<p>And I'm going to reply with this (from <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33417786" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33417786</a>):<p>> Terrorists cause far more physical harm than all of crypto will ever do. Do we ban Signal and Telegram repos so that we can "protect the people"?<p>This is a stupid summary with glaring false statements. It should be rightly ridiculed and rejected.</p>

<p>A lot of claims and no supporting research. My position is clear: You need to give clear evidence that X causes harmful Y before we can discuss banning X. We don't ban X because you and I find it deplorable.<p>>> Conduct research and draw conclusions. Don't speculate.</p>

<p>> The modern thinking is that it supports and encourages a behavior that can lead to actual violence.<p>Hasn't this nonsense been thoroughly debunked by multiple studies at this point? I would assume evidence and "modern thinking" supports the exact opposite of what you claim, unless by modern thinking you mean the same thinking that tries to hide research they don't like.<p>Video games do not cause violence. End of story.</p>

<p>>> We want to crush any chance of CP. If folks use it for that entire generative AI space will go radioactive and yes there are some things that can be done to make it much much harder for folks to abuse and we are working with THORN and others right now to make it a reality.<p>I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!<p>Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP,  every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.<p>The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.<p>The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.</p>

<p>I chose to use Firefox because I wanted to regain control over my browsing experience. I did not choose it because I wanted this crap.<p>- Arbitrary Add-ons on Firefox for Android when?<p>- Dev tools on Android when?<p>Note that I switched to using a Chromium-based browser on Android because it actually cared enough to supports both these things.<p>Mozilla, listen to your existing users (what few remain of them).
