Just buy three for the same price as one expensive model :D

I have mine hooked up to smart outlets and particulate meter to automate them. I just wish I could control the speed.

Most of the VC money invested into the crypto space is into evm projects.

By volume of real world usage, the standard is the Solana virtual machine though.

My friend just had an ASRock board cook his AMD CPU. Apparently a very common problem.

Mine is that fossil fuels exist on all planets that intelligent life evolves on, and all species extinct themselves once they discover how to use them.

Can LLMs understand ascii drawings? Or produce them?

I’m trying to figure out a way to organize thoughts with charts in a way that provides useful context to an LLM and also that an LLM could theoretically generate.

I wonder how tokenizing ASCII would work - although you could try ocr?

No one cares more about rust than Gophers.

Usually it's the other way around...

> the list of concepts you have to learn at once is basically as long for Python, the quintessential "beginner" language

IMO, Python is great. But deploying Python is more work than learning Rust, oh and the tooling is something that requires continual education: I hear UV is what all the serious python teams are using now. Better learn it or be left behind!

Meanwhile, vanilla Rust has everything you need. I'm glad I understood sunk cost fallacy and got out of Python after many months of coming up to speed with it.

I just watched an experienced programmer on twitch struggle for an hour trying to install a Python-written program using UV! The churn is real, and distributing python programs is still a mess.

that's very unfair towards the both uv (uv is great) and the absolutely atrocious state of Python tooling until basically 2025 (slow and brittle, if it was even installed - hello, debian derivatives). uv is the cargo of Python we've been waiting for and it is expected you won't need to learn anything else for a long time.

It’s because steam is 100% an aberration in our modern world. The closest comparison is, maybe, Costco?

And we who are dependent on steam know how bad things would be if steam wasn’t this unicorn. Gaben is the rare feudal lord whose people show up to battle out because they know it’s good for them. All he had to do was not abuse his monopoly for the past 25 years, as the meme goes.

The “do nothing and win” strategy has served Valve well. The fact is every publisher wants their own launcher on start-up running all the time collecting data, updating all the time, throwing popups at the user.

The user on the other hand doesn’t want 8 different bloated game launchers slowing startup, siphoning bandwidth, constantly updating, using a bunch of memory, and each using 1-2% of CPU at idle doing who knows what.

I have Ubisoft Connect launching because one game (Trackmania). And it is most annoying piece of software on my computer. Popping up sometimes even in middle of gameplay... And it can not even correctly close itself, but instead threw an error...

These clients really have zero respect for users.

Writing rust and the LLM almost never gets function signatures and returns types wrong.

That just leaves the business logic to sort out. I can only imagine that IDEs will eventually pair directly with the compiler for instant feedback to fix generations.

But rust also has traits, lifetimes, async, and other type flavors that multiples complexity and causes issues. It also an in progress language… im about to add a “don’t use once cell.. it’s part of std now “ to my system prompt. So it’s not all sunshine, and I’m deeply curious how a pure vibe coded rust app would turn out.

Gemini has been doing a fantastic job for me for Rust

And llamacpp has a gui out of the box that’s decent.
