The area of Rust code that is unsafe is much, much smaller than the amount in equivalent C code, making it much more tractable to audit. I won't pretend that it's perfect, but it's not …

Can you back up that claim? In my experience, the vast majority of Rust is safe, or built on communally-audited safe abstractions over unsafe code.

You are tilting at windmills. The article exhibits the kind of English I'd expect from someone sharing a technical development in an acceptably-perfunctory style for a company blog.

Aren't you editorialising by doing so?

It's good enough for personal use, but absolutely not good enough for professional use, especially in low-light scenarios. Source: own an AVP and an iPhone 15 Pro

I was under the same impression, but the parent poster is right: the main difference between L4 and L5 is universal applicability. Waymo is L4 as it can drive without a driver, but only in certain are…

The latest iPhones can already do stereoscopic image and video capture for viewing in the Vision Pro. It works pretty well.

(For those not acquainted with the Presidents, this is referring to Truman.)

> does the output of someone who has used this tool for one thousand hours display a meaningful difference in quality to someone who just picked it up? Yes. A thousand hours confers you with a much…

Are they that limited? It's a machine that can make videos from user input: it can ostensibly be used wherever you need video, including for creative, technical and professional applications. Now…

Why? I can say that, in my personal experience, AI has allowed me to work more efficiently as a senior engineer: I can describe the behaviour I want, scan over the generated code and make any necessar…

On one hand, I somewhat agree; on the other hand, I think LLMs and similar tooling will allow juniors to punch far beyond their weight and learn and do things that they would have never have dreamed o…

The argument is that, instead of hiring a junior engineer, a senior engineer can simply produce enough output to match what the junior would have produced and then some. Of course, that means you won&…

Think about the sheer amount of data that you receive through your five senses over 570,000,000 seconds/18 years. It's a lot, lot more than 5TB.

Both the colon and Q keys can be in different places, which can really mess with your muscle memory.

Echoes , which is on Meddle, is one of my favourite tracks of all time. It's an incredible sonic journey through all kinds of territory, and I find myself rejuvenated after having listened to it…

I disagree with the parent poster (as I've replied elsewhere) but this is a boring and facile response. Do better.

This is your experience, but I'm not sure you can generalise it to most people's experience. I like cars - admire them, even - but my car was first and foremost a tool, and my relationship w…

In theory. In practice, they have failed to demonstrate a single fully functional headset to any external media, and their marketing strategy is borderline predatory ("lock in a better price for …

Delightful interview that goes into some of the mentalities involved in Wikipedia editing and the people behind it. Great read!

Super cool project! Nice work :)

Different kinds of help - the book directly teaches people how to program, the other enables new types of programs. Both useful!

Not as inscrutable as these things usually are, but I still don't really know what one would use this for. This world feels like a parallel ecosystem to traditional software, and the paths rarely…

Er, how is this relevant? The threat of AI voice cloning is largely decoupled from the medium; attestation might help in some circumstances, but it's unlikely that it would have solved the socia…

Given their username, I suspect it may actually be beyond them.
