The amount of ~skepticism~ hate is astounding here!! People don’t even acknowledge that it’s written in RUST!!!!

I’ve recently been looking into some tools that provide quick or painless help like pop up snippets with descriptions and cheat sheets, got any recommendations?

None of this is an issue, the real issue is webpages not working in safari due to large part of the web being made exclusively for chromium.

Interesting, I wouldn’t think it matters that much though. If the phrase eating dogfood is unappetising to some when why not use the champagne analogy.

I doubt this is about the asterisks at this point. It’s about Rust, rewriting working tools in Rust and showing that Rust is the way and the only way.

Must’ve been hard not to name it rusdo because Rust has to come first (before any logic).

Exactly, too many times have i heard from some snob not to rub them, who later had to pull a splinter out of their finger.

As shown by Altman, not really.

Exactly, paying for quality content should be normalised. Even a trivial amount - 10-50c. And the reality is that it is unheard of.

Awesome it’s hosted on codeberg too

There is a growing view of “healthy” approach to AI: Llm-assisted coding instead of vibing, using it for grammar and better language instead of letting it write the whole paper, starting off and getting a template instead of end to end AI.

Having AI write the homework/report/paper is considered plagiarism. It’s really easy to profs to check it because people who do it usually don’t even bother reading their own slop. It’s obvious nonsense and they can’t answer a basic question about their own work.

With coding it’s obviously harder, but the same works - asking “what does this part of code do” is very effective.

With the last part the real problem is lazy profs. Most don’t want to be bothered with ever talking to students, checking assignments, tutoring. If they could some of them would only do final exams.

One seems to be completely empty and the remaining two seem to just be ideas for pro-ai and anti-ai respectively?

What’s so different about it besides the invite-only model?

Speedtest has always seemed incredibly sketchy to me, i don’t know if others share this sentiment. https://fast.com completed the test faster than speedtest loads the site

Great post. I even wouldn’t mind more details, especially about datadog, or as others pointed out, the kind of contradiction with aws support.
