Or the amount of energy required to produce a large gas turbine. Which, between the refining and advanced metallurgy and the casting and machining of such a large piece of metal, is a lot.

Compared to gas generators? Probably. And unlike gas there's no ongoing cost.

This matters less in Alaska than nearly any other state, given their ranked choice system.

Personally, after having watched Rs put up fake Dem candidates in my state and pull the same games with candidate names in other states, it's hard to get too upset about this. Either make it illegal, make a bilateral pact of de-escalation and stop doing it, or quit whining.

The people that got fucked over by Wedgewood were the party-preferred candidates. Wedgewood artificially inflated the polling of progressive candidates that were running against the party to a degree.

On top of that it's not election fraud, though it is potentially some kind of fraud if they were involved in betting markets.

It has improved significantly since the early days of 3.0. Not back to 1.1.1 levels of performance, but enough that it's probably not a dealbreaker for most people.

Still a shame that it went backwards.

I don't think it's necessarily that difficult to monetize, they just ignored a lot of the needs of enterprise users (rootless, not punching holes in the firewall, not fighting with systemd, private registries) for long enough that other projects (e.g. Podman, Quay) filled the void.

You have a point but it's just hyperbole in the other direction. Yes, Rust is only a small fraction of the code in use every day, but it has nonetheless achieved deep penetration into critical infrastructure.

Cloudflare's network routing code is predominantly Rust. Massive parts of AWS and Azure are Rust (including crown jewels like S3 and Lambda). Multiple car manufacturers have shipping Rust code in their production cars for years, albeit yes it's a slow process intoroducing it into regulated industries. Airbus and Boeing are putting up job openings for Rust development. As mentioned critical pieces of Windows and Android are now written in Rust. If you use Discord - that's Rust. If you use Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, that's Rust. I could go on.

When like 40% of internet traffic and 75% of end user devices are using Rust in some capacity, to say that it's "not production" is just ignorant, arrogant nonsense.

I've never seen an LLM write unsafe Rust unless I explicitly asked it to, or the thing I asked it to do fundamentally required it.

Well, that will certainly be an issue for nuclear power capacity in the future.

It's just a Lotus body, though I agree that Lotus cars are pretty

Why does Russia whitewash Stalin in 2024/5/6?

They're not that far apart anymore. Wild is still faster on average but they trade blows occasionally. Both are well ahead of the next best.

It's unlikely that many people are using Rust without using Option<T> or Result<T, U> a fair bit. Idiomatic Rust fundamentally uses a lot of generics. And a basic for loop expands into quite a lot of intermediate representation due to Iterator.
