I'll take this opportunity to report on my Framework Laptop 13 experience. I've had it for over a year.

The case is warped in multiple places. One USB C module doesn't accept a power charge reliably. It can overheat and shutdown. If the case flexes a little the trackpad stops responding - it needs to be on a flat surface. Power brick died.

On the plus side, my partner had one and when she threw it away she gave me her parts and I was able to swap some out. That was cool.

I felt similar about the book. The premise was thrilling, but as it went on it seemed to succumb to typical genre tropes, ending didn't deliver.

RIP

Miri is so good. Thank you Ralf for dedicating yourself to this project for so long.

When I have Rust projects with subsystems that must be unsafe, I will design them around Miri testability. This mostly means writing small unit-testable units and isolating I/O as much as possible. I almost always find I have made mistakes that Miri catches.

I also clicked through a few times trying to get a clear description of what this is with no success.

This is a surprisingly wide-ranging video about robots and AI in context of Disney's theme parks.

I wanted to love this so much but my eyeballs were screaming trying to read the text over the crawling dither pattern.
