I believe it was decided that they are copyrightable but that using them for compatibility purposes is fair use.

Rust is a thing in the real world. Both Windows and Android are shipping, today, with meaningful components written in Rust. Amazon S3 and Lambda are built on top of Rust. Apple is hiring Rust developers and they post about it on this pla

I think you're misunderstanding the situation. Kent Overstreet is the bcachefs maintainer and he's extremely pro-Rust. He has in fact talked about wanting to move bcachefs to Rust, and the userspace tools for bcachefs are already

Most industrial automation programming happens in an environment similar to LabView, if not LabView itself. DeltaV, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, etc. Most industrial facilities are absolutely full of them with text-based code being likely a sm

As noted in my original comment, a large portion of my savings / retirement IS in index funds. My individual stock investments represent such a large percentage of my account only because they've done very well, not because I dum

I bought into AMD stock when it was $10 per share, it's now $180, yes it's a bit lucky but I'm not bullshitting. It seemed quite logical to me at the time that they would do well. This was right as Intel was being savaged by

I've done well (39% annual returns) investing in 2-3 individual stocks in addition to index funds for the rest of my investments. More than that would be IMO too much to pay attention to. Admittedly my choices for stocks are a bit on

Mozilla Foundation did not acquire an ad company, and none of their dollars can be legally used to acquire and ad company. Once again, HNers fail to understand the difference between Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation, and conflate

Those commodities won't even come close to covering their spending spree. And their reserves are running dry very quickly. Likely by the end of this year.

They have low debt but little ability to borrow. Once they run out of reserves they won't be able to sustain these levels of funding.

There's also plenty of applications for local models integrated with a browser - such as language translations without needing to send the text off to google.

If you define "hypersonic weapon" as merely traveling at or beyond Mach 5, then practically every medium range ballistic missile since the V-2 qualifies. There is nothing special about a missile that can hit hypersonic speeds. Th

The economy is growing because of massive government expenditures on defense. The same thing happened with Nazi Germany. It's not sustainable. "Buoyant commodity prices" is also known as inflation. They have high inflation

This is total nonsense. Putin does not care about AI, by all accounts he doesn't even use technology much personally, he cares about being remembered as a Peter the Great figure who restored Russia to their rightful place as a superpow

Two Czechs were killed when the Russians blew up a Czech ammunition depot in 2014. That's about as open as this is. You could maybe argue it was incidental rather than intended, like the woman killed in the botched Salisbury poisoning

They did not. There was all sorts of speculation and enough circumstantial evidence to implicate either Russia or Ukraine or the US depending on what your threshold is.

The quote is regarding operations taking place in Europe, not Ukraine. This kind of thing has been happening for a long time actually. Russia blew up Czech ammunition depots in 2014 (killing two Czechs), tried to poison Bulgarian execs with

People keep saying this but it borders on conspiracy talk. The Air Force leadership has been pissed off at Boeing for well over a decade. Every project they've been given has turned into a clusterfuck even moreso than average. They
