At least for now the source code is the contract with the machine, to know what you really expect it to do. But I agree that more "freeform" languages (e.g. JS) could be less useful in an LLM world.

60kWh may be enough for occasional short trips.

Kneejerk patriotic reaction ?

On an Airbus yes, engines won't stop if the thrust lever isn't on "idle". Not so much on a Boeing.

Whatever. Simply come to a decent EU country and see how much it costs you for a bad cold or a cancer. Then compare that to the same event in the US.

Are there some people here in HN believing in AGI "soonish" ?

Who cares if your social media toy has bugs in production ? These are several tons metal things going fast amongst humans, with high-energy batteries that like to explode. This can't have bugs in production.

I remember running Linux on it A4000 shortly after that. What a pain, but also what a reward that was !

> Income inequality is a good thing That's your opinion. I fail to see how the differences were have today make sense and could be good for the society.

> Could AI have done all that? Not yet. You wouldn't believe it with your naked eyes. I have seen solve some subtle problems.

That's theoretically right, but all concrete examples I've seen so far use some generic UI framework that don't work well.

I always found non-native apps too out-of-place. Please use Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android.

I'd say it works fine when you consider your dev team as cattle, not pets. It's the kubernetes of engineering management. So you don't really care who does what or if your team likes what they do, or if someone has articulate

This thing is written in Rust. I wanted to use it on an embedded system in Rust (Embassy) using a CAN transport but unfortunately there's neither a no_std version nor a CAN plugin. Otherwise it looks good.

Not even that, even rich people have better life expectancy elsewhere.

So this very serious (obviously very fatal) bug is a decade old and has never been fixed ? That's incredible. Boeing is incredible.

I don't agree with you. Yes syntax is often awful but no it doesn't work that well. It's a minefield of Undefined Behavior.
