The article says they could have asked an AI themselves, but that is missing that I may have an agentic context with exactly the right information to answer the question well, which they do not have. For example because I worked on something closely related. Such an agent output is very useful, and taking the time to rewrite that to a short personal answer is not always worth it.

Who cares if a piece of open source has American maintainers? The point is not to avoid touching anything American. It is control and sovereignty.

Do you think it would fundamentally be a mistake to thread data along with error type through the error return path, or is it just that it costs too much say from a calling convention perspective or some other technical reason? Is it related to ownership?

My feeling is that I consistently find on-point solutions for my Linux problems with a quick search. However if my Windows install gets in trouble my search will yield some DISM.exe invocation which doesn't help at all. A bit anecdotal, but this is my experience. I've always been able to fix my Linux installs.

Let’s not underestimate the scale of the search which led to us though, even though you may be right in principle. In addition to deep time on earth, we may well be just part of a tiny fraction of a universe-wide and mostly fruitless search.

XWayland is compartmentalized, and should not make life harder for anyone else in the Wayland world (except the ones spending time maintaining it). And Zink gives us a clean OpenGL implementation on top of Vulkan (so not contributing to complexity in the base stack). I'm fine with a long tail of software requiring XWayland+Zink, and I don't think of them as polluting my system.

Since it's trained on a vast a mount of code (probably all publicly accessible Go code and more), it's seen a vast amount of different bespoke APIs for doing all kinds of things. I'm sure some of that will leak into the output from time to time. And to some extent can generalize, so it may just invent APIs.

If it was first, it could have self-improved more, to the point that it has the capacity to prevent competition, while the competition does not have the capacity to defend itself against superior AGI. This all is so hypothetical and frankly far from what we're seeing in the market now. Funny how we're all discussing dystopian scifi scenarios now.

Cut for the foreseeable future AFAIK. They may return to it when ready

Why would the function's dependencies need recompilation? I guess the dependees may require it, if they inlined it, or if the signature changed.

That's the theory. However, isn't likely that as things like the new Nova Nvidia driver is written in Rust, the things that depend on Rust are suddenly so important, that shipping with it disabled is unrealistic, even without a policy change. (I don't think this is bad)

Calling some of those leftist is quite a condemnation of the right.

The question is who is suppressed.

And start treating the alliances as vital part of the whole, and stop betraying the fragile trust they are built on. Use Korean industry until the industry at home can catch up.

Maybe idealism is dead and even the youth have been corrupted these days.
