That’s true, but this has never been a problem for me looking through large codebases and doing code reviews, in other languages I was constantly annoyed by not being being able to shadow

I really like in Rust how you can reinit a variable with a different type e.g. “let rect: Rect<f32> = rect.into();”

It’s just so damn useful and I’m not sure what the downside is, it sucks when you have to keep coming up with different names so you can keep around an identifier that you don’t need anymore.

Nah that editor is much better if you're just using Python, but vscode imo is better for polyglots, the experience and keybinds stay the same across languages once you work out `tasks.json` and `launch.json`

vscode is an incredible piece of software, better than all the paid options in my opinion, the amount of features they pump out month to month is outstanding, just a bit slow due to electron. I never understood why they put so much effort into a free product that I run from Linux and Mac, but I'm happily paying the copilot subscription so it all makes sense now.

My company runs everything on AWS lambda, I’ve worked on Lambda with Go, Python and Typescript before this, Rust is by far the best experience I’ve had. Async works great, it’s definitely a lot harder to figure out the ecosystem than something like Go, but there’s nothing missing that I know of?

The point is though as OP said, all the pieces are in place, it only takes one crazy person or government to give something like this access to actually act out the things it’s saying it wants to do. Define self awareness/sentience however you want, before Microsoft lobotomised Bing it output that it was going to act out revenge, someone with enough hardware can train a model the same way, with some additional training for how to exploit social and security vulnerabilities. I think it’ll have to happen first before it’s taken seriously, hopefully the first incident doesn’t do too much damage.

It’s the fastest gaming chip now, but not sure a 0.5% to 1.5% improvement over the standard 13900K warrants an “insanely fast” tag

Oh yeah, can fix that though with:

mkdir -p ~/cargo/target

export CARGO_TARGET_DIR="~/cargo/target"

I have Asahi Linux installed on mine, it works great including the GPU, I’m mainly developing for ARM64 AWS Lambdas now as well so it’s nice having the same arch. Some things are still missing like webcam, microphone and speakers, but the headphone Jack works and Bluetooth is OK just a bit choppy, incredible project.

Still, how much they pay their developers a year? Would be over $150k I imagine, drop him $10k which he deserves and a sincere apology and we never would have seen this article, this would definitely cause a larger loss for them.

I still really like Python for scripts and small programs, but I’m always going to use Rust now for CLI’s or anything larger, I get the problem you have with it, but the trade off is worth it for me being able refactor quickly and with confidence as the program grows.

It’s funny when someone is parroting the doom and gloom they hear from mainstream media, and you point out something like how world hunger and poverty is at an all time low, the standard of living has never been higher etc. most of the time they’ll just continue justifying their position, its only engineers that I’ve heard say “oh yeah..”

I hopped jobs to go from using Go to Rust, I was sad and bored, now I'm happy and energized. Always going to be things you dislike for sure, but life's to short to be using a language that's making you miserable.
