Im in a similar position to you. My manager loves rust, so Im fortunate... Weve been developing new tools in rust. Some greybeards actively oppose it though. Im not asking for rewrites but at least new stuff should be written with more mode

Yes! Ive been working mostly in rust recently for robotics projects. The amount of time our industry wastes on C++isms is ridiculous where rust just works. Unfortunately theres an old guard that refuses to let up and invest in rust. Tbh the

I'm a sponsored maintainer of some other open source project (under a different handle). In my experience, companies rarely sponsor for altruistic purposes. You need to be working on some project that brings value to the company. Where

Hmm wonder how this compares to stuff like FastSAM and MobileSAM. Is SAM quantized better or are those knock of architectures more performant.

I'm Indian and I dont think "Europe" enslaved India. Britain did. But Britain is not Europe. France and portugal had some small colonies but none of the other european powers were too successful. India has had a long history

I'd argue that theres a lot of factors at play. Personally, my parents belong to said diaspora and I spent a long time in China. Ive asked myself the same question. First of all India started out a lot poorer than China post independen

The country I live in is very small and has no natural resources. We rely on having oil shipped to us. From our point of view replacing oil with hydrogen would be an improvement. Due to various geopolitical and geographic issues relying on

This. All these tech companies have reached saturation, but at the same time they are profitable. I guess investors want upward returns because they expect more money than they put in.

Anecdotally I've had terrible experience with Razer. I felt like their laptop was a time bomb. About 3 weeks after the warranty expired the screen died (their warranty was also only for one year). When I went to their HQ to ask for rep

One of the use cases I have for google is just as a sort of fuzzy grep. This is often useful for finding solutions to obscure bug reports on open source projects. Similarly, I often use google to search for things like flights, reviews, bus
