One solution to this problem is to buy from a vendor that installs Linux for you (e.g. System76). Much like with Apple, they can sell you a fully functional computer that way.

The problem I have with this take is that I'm very skeptical that guiding several junior developers would be more productive than just doing the work myself. With real junior developers you get the benefit of helping develop them into

I would think you could only patent a particular usage of it.

Yeah, the problem with the term "AI" is that it's far too general to be useful. I've seen people argue that the goalposts keep moving with respect to whether or not something is considered AI, but that's because you

No, const semantics are defined by the language definition.
217.
by wtetzner 9mo ago
Sure, but my point is that the semantics between C++ and Rust are different, and are therefore not an exact match as the article stated.

For one thing, you don't need to run them in a browser.

> members of a const struct are also const. Yes, but if your struct contains references, the constness doesn't apply to what those references point to. In Rust it does.

I don't think C# and Python are particularly close to natural language. I also don't think making a language read more like English really makes it more readable. If that was true people wouldn't struggle with reading legales

> C++ has a perfect match for Rust’s mutability: const and non-const. Rust has inherited mutability, while I believe const in C++ is shallow. I don't think it's a perfect match.

Where in the process of "ask question" -> "closed as duplicate" are you interacting with another human?

What's the point of AI on a site like that? Wouldn't you just ask an LLM directly if you were fine with AI answers?

> Conversely, we ignored brilliant people simply because they couldn't articulate their complex ideas effectively. I don't see how AI helps here. If you can't articulate your idea, then 1) how clear is that idea in your he

And what is the point of AI generated posts when everyone has access to LLMs themselves? They can also generate whatever text they want.

by wtetzner 9mo ago
I don't think this analogy really works. A power tool would be a programming language with a better set of abstractions, or a good library that solves a hard problem. AI is like delegating to a junior programmer that never learns or ge

They were uploading these for free. The end result of the videos being taken down is that they are now even more inaccessible to that 4% than they were before. Making things more accessible is a worthy goal, but the world is imperfect and m

This was free content. The end result is that the content was made inaccessible to everyone, adding zero benefit to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Maybe some of them. There are plenty of old projects that still build and run fine.

Sounds like a conflict of interest

I'm curious about what you'd want simplified. Remove traits? What other things are there to even simplify if you're going to keep the borrow checker?

Wouldn't a C in Harvard mean "average for a Harvard student"?

"Person" in legalese means something specific. It's not the same as the dictionary definition.

Bit that is more like standardizing on a language, not a syntax across languages. I also don't think syntax is even a problem worth worrying about. It takes very little time to become accustomed to a new syntax. It's the semantics

Unless it was a browser level permission, like asking to access the user's location.

Ideally opt-in would be explicit, but a browser toggle could bypass even showing the opt-in button if the Do-Not-Track header is sent.

Have these already been adopted in neovim by default? It seems like I already have this behavior without needing any plugins.
