Is this basically trying to do something similar to Zed's https://delta.dev/, but from Slack instead of an IDE?

It's pretty long, but looking through it the text seems pretty streamlined. I think there's just a lot of changes.

Reversing the test order is also pretty effective: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-reverse/

I imagine Codeberg's LLM ban might make it a poor fit for many Cursor users.

That doesn't seem to be true: https://www.cio.com/article/201905/women-in-tech-statistics-...

>Women leave the tech industry at 45% higher rates than men, and 50% of women leave the tech industry by age 35 compared to only 20% for other industries, according to Accenture.

If I understand correctly, for speed of deployment they're building a less-efficient simple-cycle plant (instead of the typical combined-cycle). Even though it's larger, the efficiency is worse than a typical natural gas plant.

Cities shouldn't fund the software they rely on?

Chrome uses libexpat for XML parsing, not XSLT.

It does mention it though?

> Many robotic applications need to operate without network latency or internet connectivity. Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 is built specifically to handle these constraints — it is our most-efficient vision-language-action model (VLA) optimized to run locally on robotic devices.

New comment by neuronexmachina in "How is the Bun rewrite in Rust going?"

> If that is really what they are concerned with, they probably could have just had Claude Code rewrite Claude Code in rust

Rewriting a runtime with well-defined interfaces and behavior is quite different from rewriting a user-facing application under active development by a decent chunk of their organization.

This reminds me of the episode of the old anime series Cowboy Bebop where the crew explore an abandoned museum in a buried city searching for a Betamax player: https://cowboybebop.fandom.com/wiki/Speak_Like_A_Child

Do you have an example of the "doomsday marketing" you're referring to?

That may have been the case for the initial iteration a few months ago, but is it still true?

Just to be clear, what you're referring to is the current US standard for whether a work is copywritable, not whether training on data and "regurgitating existing ideas" is fair-use. The latter is what the GP comment was about:

> There needs to be a royalty payment based on if the AI regurgitates existing ideas. That is probably the correct way to legislate this. If anything a human does can instantly be copied by an LLM, and then sent to all its subscribers, things need to change
