No, I'm saying that you're conflating current LLMs with future ones. The 2018 date was an indication that Musk wasn't referring to any specific already-existing LLM, since there we…

Most users of coding agents do want the agent to edit their code, and don't want to have to click something before every edit. If you want something different, that's why it's a se…

Leaving aside any questions of Musk's credibility, he was not referring to any existing LLM, as should be evident from the 2018 date in the URL.

Announcement post is https://claude.com/blog/auto-mode-default-in-claude-code , link should probably point there instead of the tweet.

Nobody is claiming that any currently-existing LLM is more dangerous than nuclear weapons.

Well, yeah, I would not expect indexing (on the standard library types) to be usable within a no-panic function, because panicking on out-of-range inputs is what those operations d…

Pretend for a moment, then, that I've never worked in a unionized industry and everything I know about unions is from the media environment that you say is untrustworthy. I think i…

Was it this one? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRPiprOaC3Hs...

Cloudflare OS does have the important risk-mitigating feature that you can fork it if the vendor becomes hostile to your interests. You can't really do that with managed services l…

It's actually quite straightforward to write a TryFrom impl that returns Err if the conversion fails (i.e., if the input floating-point value is infinite, NaN, or out of range of t…

How do you know?

Nitpick: Rust doesn't panic in this situation, it saturates (i.e., returns the largest possible value for the given integer type). Among other reasons, because a lot of existing pr…

You really think the big American labs are distilling each other? That surprises me.

Out of curiosity, is there some reason it would be harder than I'm imagining? It seems like a fairly straightforward type-system feature. (I.e., it would be a lot of work, but only…

I had read that post, but IIUC it doesn't address the kind of backcompat issues that I meant to be referring to (the ones that would apply even if there was only ever going to be o…

My sense of sentiment in the project right now is that people want to keep the invariant that assignment (to an ordinary memory location) is always just a memcpy and never calls ar…

The people working on this are aware that it poses backcompat problems that don't have obvious solutions. They are looking into non-obvious solutions. https://lcnr.de/blog/2025/11/…

We already have a Vec whose size can't change, it is called Box . So Vec doesn't need to support !Move types.

This is not currently a project goal. As with many things in the Rust project, it could be, if someone wanted to step up and dedicate the required engineering resources.

How do native exceptions work in Delphi?

They recognize that there's going to have to be some kind of compatibility or migration story for existing APIs based on Pin, but have decided to punt that question to next year. F…

I think this one might be at greater risk than usual of being dropped, because it's explicitly mutually exclusive with another accepted project goal (pin ergonomics): https://githu…

AGPL software is in practice always gratis, because anyone who has a copy can post it on the internet where anyone can download it. The monetization benefit of AGPL is that it make…

I think the problem is that, once you get good enough to reliably spot AI output at a given level of obviousness, seeing more of it stops being fun and starts being just depressing…

And why not? Is there any particular reason people will still need to care about this a year later?
