It took some coaching to get it to use the terse style I prefer, but here’s what 3.5 came up with in a conversation where I first asked about Rust’s support for regular expressions: use regex::Regex; fn strip_suffix_digits(s: &

I’ll admit to using the words framework and library interchangeably when referring to React in my day to day, but what distinguishes React from frameworks to me is the fact it doesn’t tie itself to a particular rendering context, i.e. it is

I’m aghast that using a general purpose AI for general purposes is treated as a malicious act and censured as such. “No! Not those tokens!!”
