I noticed that all mediocre developers who revealed that LLM can do basic tasks and even basic apps without a human in the loop, tend to choose Rust language for their “genius projects.”

Why Rust, fer crissake?! It has literally zero application areas where it’s the best choice from scratch. Even Haskell is better for every new project, if one decides to use language they barely understand. Let alone Lean4.

I’d love to hear opinions on the matter.

I love how Baldur uses AI despite denying using AI to sell any BS claiming AI is rotten.

This particular article demonstrates zero understanding of China markets, let alone it does not pass any test for being written by a human.

Hating AI really becomes a profitable business. It adds to the hype, but who cares, right?

Serious question: if you willingly use public transport, do you believe you’re immune to or sufficiently protected from walk-de-skilling, pedestrian decline, and what’s commonly known as “legs’ stillness”?

I wonder what will happen with Anthropic models when they go bankrupt.

OpenAI’s models are to silently become Microsoft’s property. Google is unsinkable for now. Anthropic is to blow up in months, at best.

I cannot even imagine what an enormous peremptory arrogance one should have to call Torvalds, FOSS maintainers, myself after all—the people who fuck users.

On the other hand, that’s a typical feedback we receive from the philistines, so nothing new here. Smile and nod, smile and nod.

Если экосистема вашего языка привинчена сбоку малокомпетентными в защищенной разработке людьми, быть беде.

Естественно, страдают JS и Python, в которых адекватно поддерживаемой экосистемы нет в принципе, всё на коленках джунов вытатуировано.

Supply Chain Attack — проблема безразличия авторов языка к экосистеме. Уж на что я гошечку не выношу на дух, но гугл — не совсем дебилы, поэтому начали с экосистемы (еще бы не забыли про AST — и языком можно было б пользоваться).

Effective now, I begin all conversations with computer science evangelists like this, “We are unlikely to have a fruitful discussion. The thing is, you’re an evangelist, and I’m a professional.”

What’s your favorite dinosaur?

I woke up and grabbed a cup and pulled some coffee there like a pup. After a nap I need a lap of coffee and cigarettes and some rap.
I went to a balcony and there I sat and all of a sudden I spotted my cat. She was sleepy and somewhat creepy meowing sweepy and hissing shippy.
I let her lay I know she may today because it’s a #caturday .

Caption this.
