I see. I don't know almost anything about symbolicregression.jl but it sounds like a good use case for Rust if it's intended to be used for important/mission critical applications. Sounds like there is a lot of opportunity fo

I am someone who has written a lot of Rust, enough C++ to know better, and is loosely familiar with Julia. I think its awesome people are becoming aware of the benefits of writing Rust. In the same breath, this is missing probably the bigge

Its a cute idea but, why does a GC language need this? For shared mutable references across threads I get it for some data race conditions? Can it handle that with awareness of smart pointers, etc? Honestly, I'd write Rust. Or write Ju

For a short time maybe, but that kind of activity might look like something interesting enough for someone to target you and remove all privacy from your entire existence.

Sounds super optimistic. Despite some efforts to mitigate climate change. Industrialists are hell-bent on removing regulations and consuming more power than ever. Cooling things is expensive and the laws of thermodynamics don't care ab

We need more poor, unemployed, disenfranchised people to get better at detecting threats at scale.

That would be part of the medium term plan. Have to hang on as long as I can for now though.

Think I'm starting to see why so many people immigrate to Europe. European labor laws and lifestyles are so reasonable. No wonder American life expectancy is so bad.

Not going to happen. All the US agencies and military branches stand to gain a ton in surveillance capabilities with GenAI technologies. More capable text condensation models, the ability to "befriend" and track hundreds of thousa

Let me try to be more clear, I don't half ass. I just take a 10 minute walk when I get stressed. I take 10 minutes to think through something without touching my keyboard even though the keyboard monitor is monitoring. Once I'm pa

There are tons of companies that don't even produce things anymore, all they do is buy and sell other companies as a "portfolio". Really weird to think about! Let me advise against sabotage. There's a saying about seekin

I see what you mean, but I disagree that this is an innate trait in human beings. I believe it is sometimes socialized, poor understanding of zero-sum games, etc. Often-times its just garden variety psychopathy, narcissism, and other dark p

Yea but your immediate manager can easily set a person up for complete failure and broadcast only the failings. I've seen it happen to different people on many occasions. Basically the old "balance these 12 things 1 of them, the 1

I do agree with you. People need to band up with one another and work this out together. In the mean time though, most people are already in a situation where its far too late unless they can shake their situation and start new somewhere el

Hi definitely not a G Man. Personally, idiots are fine as long as they listen to their team-mates when it matters. Maybe that means they aren't idiots... Anyway, adversarial bosses and extremely poorly managed projects are the issue fo

I don't have all the answers. I don't even know your situation. For me, I am still in tech. Like everyone else, my family needs the money. Once in a while I do something that satisfies me personally as well as the company I work f

Such a good way of describing it. Thanks for this, and the comment above it.

I've burnt out. It was horrible. I am doing much better now! The trick is to not care enough about your job to get hurt but not care so little that you could short-term be hurt. In many places if you get hurt/burnt out on the job

Worryingly sounds like "Let the fake news and propaganda proliferate for profit."

Looks pretty nice. The default style has some perks over plotters. Not throwing shade, it just looks nice. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for chiming in. If there was a way to embed R plots without a lot of pain or CPU cycles server-side that would be fabulous. I would love to see an example of that. Plotters is pretty decent, I've used and abused it in a few proj

How are you liking Leptos? I've been on the fence of trying Leptos vs Dioxus for a new project. They both seem great, but when I look for things like "charts" or "plots" or other components I don't see much sup

Imagine if models were trained for this purpose using OS-INT and reinforcement learning instead of repurposing a general model and using generic prompts from a somewhat safe guarded LLM? That's where we're headed. Bad actors payin

It takes an incredible human to do something like this. Pure art. Not enough of that in the programming world.

Well, I don't use makefiles to deploy software with Rust. I also have never used lex or yacc, but I bet there are similar tools in the ecosystem, or wrappers for those. That would obviate what I will offer below. Often a new language i

That is correct.

The entire user experience is so much nicer that even if Rust was slightly worse I would prefer it. I don't miss header files, makefiles, not having a package manager, maintaining all the crazy code people wrote themselves as pet proje

I would like to also point out that rust is boring as hell. Lots of otherwise ordinary people write super simple non-fancy programs using it too :)

I strongly prefer actual implementations and adore the way this was written. Maybe its all of the "to get this to run in O(N) time we will leave the trick for the reader to discover" I've bumped into. Or the classic "use
