Of course; but it's very hypocritical to raise these feelings only when mathematicians are affected, whereas all the above professions are just told to adapt to the new way of things.

For sure though, translators don't have the same clout and social status as mathematicians do.

Whole sections of the economy are being upheaved by AI, and there is no reason to make a special case for the mathematicians anymore than for the illustrators, developers, translators, HR, etc.

Granted, I used Vivaldi rather than Chromium, but I don't expect it to have such a noticeable difference w.r.t. Chrome.

For me, as battery-efficient as Safari, but with better chrome and access to ffox extensions ecosystem.

Probably a naive question, but why not kill two birds with one stone if it can be done for a reasonable cost?

Damn, do these people really jump out of joy whenever their SO, parent, child, friend, or whoever comes back after a 10' chore?

Life is not a movie, “coming back” is a dozen-times-of-day occurrence, no one will cheer you back from the toilets.

Until the oil shocks, and until “normal” planes became faster.

I happen to know a couple older and very wealthy people, and they say that even though Concorde was a lot of fun when it was a novelty, they now prefer to have a couple more hours flight and enjoy a 777 premium cabin rather than the cramped Concorde interior.

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding: if no one but national carriers ever bought and operated Concorde or Tu-144 at scale, it's not because of some Amish-like sentiment in the flight industry, but simply because that didn't make sense money-wise.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, it's a simple application of the purse theorem: if there is money to be spent, it will be spent, regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.

_E.g._ OpenSSL, PostgreSQL, or Wayland make do with a dozen contributors and maybe a couple hundred grands per year, but because Mozilla drowns in Google money, they feel the need to spend it fast.

> CEO spending is something like 1.5% of their overall budget

That's... huge? If I donate $100 to Mozilla, it's not to give $1.5 to an already multi-millionaire CEO.

Also I'm eager to see how it will behave on Linux when they will have finished their port; I hope we will finally have a really low-energy consumption browser then.

That they decide to burn through it by paying 7 figures salaries for their C-suites, buying luxury offices at the heart of Paris and launching plethoras of feel-good initiatives left-and-right is their own choice.

> ethical porn

Define “ethical porn”? Problem with ethics is that it varies from person to person; at least lawful has the taste of varying only from country to country.

I'm afraid the author completely missed the point here. Typst is not more readable than (La)TeX because it's written in Rust, but because its DSL was so designed. It could have been implemented in PHP that the result would be exactly the same.

Same thing with the auto-unroll/SIMD arguments. AFAIK, it's LLVM that's doing the job, there is nothing theoretically preventing a {language} compiler to obtain the same results.

Where Rust shines w.r.t. other similar languages though is that its strict memory model lets developers push further memory/concurrency optimization without sacrificing safety – which she highlights in the GNU/coreutils sort comparison.
