There's a stark difference between de jure and de facto here. Executive orders will brazen, tyrannical effects and are often reined in late or never.

A length could refer to lots of different units - elements, pages, sectors, blocks, N-aligned bytes, kbytes, characters, etc. Always good to qualify your identifiers with units IMO (or types that reflect units).

You need to annotate your program with indications of what variable tracks the size of the allocation. So, sure, but first work on the packages in the distro. Note that corresponding checks for C++ library containers can be enabled without

Maybe they're greedy or maybe they see the long game is that their architecture licensing business is in serious jeopardy from RISCV. So, if you can't beat em, join em. Maybe they'll eventually make their own RV core designs

Any way you slice it: LLMs provide real utility today, right now. Even yesterday, before Opus/Codex were updated. So the money was not all for naught. It seems very plausible given the progress made so far that this new industry wil

Would it be any more comforting from a privacy standpoint to have the models capable of doing this running on the device itself instead of the cloud?

The fact that you used the term "enforcement" here makes me presume you are thinking of criminal consequences. But the grandparent comment talks about civil liability. Certainly if there were injuries at this intersection and the

By the time they release something that outperforms Opus 4.5, Opus 5.2 will have been released which will probably be the new state-of-the-art. But these open weight models are tremendously valuable contributions regardless.

The agent who opened fire [1] clearly put other agents' lives in danger. To say nothing of shooting a just-disarmed man in the back while he was being handily subdued by several agents. It always seemed laughable to me when people on

> compiler may emit function calls to stubs for the intrinsic. I guess the compiler itself might not know how those calls get resolved but the linker or cargo or some other mechanism might decide to include a library that provides stubs.

Does Rust provide architecture-specific intrinsics like C/C++ toolchains usually do? That's a popular way to do SIMD.
