The difference is that at least Google is actively deploying Rust-based Linux code in Android already. And the big Linux foundation members have more influence than is publically known.

I'd bet there is a concerted effort to quickly flag negative posts about Tesla / Musk, since it always happens very quickly on these stories.

There's a reason most CEOs and billionaires try to stay out of the spotlight and try to influence things behind the scenes instead. We'll see how things turn out for Musk in a few years. At least Starlink, and hence Spacex, won&#x

Lets talk again after AI causes massive unemployment and social upheaval for a few decades until we find some new societal model to make things work. This is inevitable in my view. AI will replace a lot of white collar jobs relatively soon,

So each "process" is deployed as a separate binary, so presumably run as a separate process? If so, this seems somewhat problematic in terms of increased overhead. How is fast communication achieved? Some fast shared memory IPC me

These aren't mutually exclusive. It's been known for a while that competitors used OpenAI to improve their models, that's why they changed the TOS to forbid it. That doesn't mean the deep seek technical achievements are

Rust has a pretty good incremental caching compiler that makes debug builds relatively fast. Linking is often a very notable bottleneck for debug binaries and mold can make a big difference. So interest in speeding up linking for Rust is ex

Side question: is there any good model that allows for image similarity detection across a large image set, that can be incrementally augmented with new images? You'd somehow have to generate an embedding for each image, I presume.
