> The net change in accuracy does not show whether the same individual calls succeed with and without the watermark. Why would that matter in the slightest? LLMs aren't deterministic, the same happens with a different seed, or white

An AI-assisted rewrite can make sense, if you take the time to uphold semantics and code quality, as they suggested. In practice, the first file I looked in had unsound unsafe – in the Rust sense, that a safe caller could cause UB, not that

Humans have the ability to consider things beyond their immediate incentives. Most find it difficult not to. We don't know what benefits they received from defecting anyhow

In Rust these specifically take `FnMut`, a function which can update internal/borrowed state, rather than `Fn` which can't easily. In `map` or `filter` you shouldn't rely on the iteration order so that's not often useful

I think the authors above put their opinion well: "Developers of self-driving vehicles work with a particular idea of a possible and desirable future. Members of the public may not share the assumptions on which this is based … Many r

Obviously that's not true, but moreover it's meaningless – what counts as an option?

US cities are spread out due to policies enacted only 50–60 years ago to improve connectivity by car. New policies can (and will) reshape them again in the next couple of decades. For example, building transit creates environments where peo

A 64-bit sum type can't magically combine an i64, f64, and several raw pointers, each of which carry a full 64 bits themselves. You have to change the semantics of the code. Some semantics could be expressed more easily with compiler i

realloc is frequently O(n), ie CPython can avoid copying and immediately collecting the object but still copy the bytes. It's the same as calling reserve in a loop

I for one don't care about memory safety. Rust makes it easier to compose software by expressing everything in your function/module signature. This is what OOP aimed to do, but was quite prescriptive (a datatype often isn't

The point of the crate, the readme you quoted, is > you can push to the vec even while holding references to elements that have already been pushed. Expressing this in Rust (without leaking references to a dropped container) means taki

Yes, it would get rid of these things, maybe I overstated the similarity to existing SQL deployments. Non-materialized views wouldn't be part of the schema, but you could still have stored procedures which change with migrations. A new

For most cases I mean compiled into the client, not planned at runtime. And yes, explicitly trading away access to the live latencies and data distribution (except maybe for interactive analysts) – if you want a better query you profile a

Could the same queries be 'planned', compiled down to pipelined KV operations, by the requester? I don't see that this is inherently less capable . You could even use an existing ORM – though I think you can do better when n

I don't want a query language. I want to call and profile typed functions like normal data structures, and which use (low-level/non-declarative) RPC where needed

> The data structure never moves an element once allocated Yours will reallocate every so often, invalidating element references. append_only_vec requires only `&self` to push, and can also be used concurrently. Adding these abilitie

The standard library is not versioned, so any API*/behaviour there must be maintained forever. When you put it in a separate crate, you can make better interfaces or be displaced by a better crate, while old code still compiles against

It's not because of the errors, it's clearly written by Claude. Although I doubt if they prompted it to make errors, just generated the majority and edited/wrote some parts themself. I find it rather annoying that so many s

Would they disagree, new toolchains work great with old code? And even add 95% of the features to older editions, just not new keywords or inference defaults. I think in C++ people complain about the effort to migrate --std, rather than hav

If you send someone `key xor X`, they can reply with `key xor X xor Y`, and you can recover `X xor Y` – without them having a clue what X is. Hopefully then it's not too hard to believe you can build an encryption scheme and operations

It is difficult for parents to do this today! You can either have a limited set of apps with no general internet access (fine for younger kids), or domain-list filtering which takes significant work to set up, has many false positives and n

I know, but I think the reality would change if it took 10 seconds to reliably block everything. It would also be the default if you enter an age below 16 at setup (tap a second device or scan a distinct face id to act as guardian). It shou

Are you saying parents would choose not to block it, or children would get around it? Like you say people want to block it, but currently it's very hard while allowing access to Google and other resources, or it's easy to get arou
