Probably because they have thrown as much money and manpower as they possibly can at the core problem and investing more into it is diminishing returns. Building out a platform is the logical next step and there are probably 100s of revenu

I actually completely disagree with this, and IMO it works best with projects that are templated with AI development in mind. Lots of documentation and comments, working tests, etc. You want as much context as possible _right in the code_.

There's zero basis for assuming any of that. The most likely situation is a power law curve where the vast majority of users don't use it much at all and the top 10% of users account for 90% of the usage. It is very likely that y

All examples of this type come down to "the user made a mistake", but that is kind of the the entire point. It is not possible to make that mistake in rust.

Probably the issue is microphages being wiped out which allows bacteria to thrive. But you wouldn't take this _all the time_, only when you had a specific viral infection to get rid of.

I actually think the model here isn't communism, it's fascism/corporatism. They aren't nationalizing directly, they're intimidating private enterprises into compliance and cooperation.

What I described isn't really an algorithm, it's just taking the digits of a number, let's say: foo=3.14159265... Where after 5 is some continuing sequence of decimals. The series of functions is literally just: foo(0) = 3 fo

You don't. He basically defines numbers like pi and e not as numbers, but as iterative functions, which you can run to whatever level of accuracy that you want. It's sort of a silly argument, because _all_ numbers can be treated

He doesn't work with imaginary numbers, either. He treats complex numbers as matrices of rationals.

Rust doesn't crash when it gets an error unless you tell it to. You make a choice how to handle the error because you have to it or it won't compile. If you don't care about losing information when reading a file, you can u

There's also that rust does a _lot_ of compiler optimizations on map/filter/reduce and it's trivially parallelizable in many cases.

I think you should assume that your LLM context is poisoned as soon as it touches anything from the outside world, and it has to lose all permissions until a new context is generated from scratch from a clean source under the user's co

I don't think anything will stop AI companies for long. They can do spot AI agentic checks of workflows that stop working for some reason and the AI can usually figure out what the problem is and then update the workflow to get around

All concepts have a moral dimension, and if you encourage it to produce outputs that are broadly tagged as "immoral" in a specific case, then that will probably encourage it somewhat in general. This isn't a statement about
