I read the only redeeming quality of this movie is that Grogu is cute and that otherwise it could just be spliced together from the series. This is more a betrayal of their core fans in favor of the mythical 'more fans.' The story could have provided some substance and world building without alienating anyone. They chose to write by committee and probably AI, which is producing the expected result.

What in the Fallout??

There are other rare earth's that can't be replaced by sodium. Still, this will take a decade or more to industrialize.

Please catch and discipline the politicians doing insider trading in stock markets

I mean, I think the collective "Fuck this shit!" is part of changing things. People can change things by coming together against billionaires and saying "No." We don't have to give in to their vision of the future.

Why would I do that? I just support the U.S. ending its constant effort to destabilize and destroy every other country.

But, the U.S. is fighting both China and Russia through proxy wars and sanctions. No matter how much you insinuate that Trump is Putin's puppet it won't be true.

This is from the perspective of someone who is supportive of both China and Russia. I want the U.S. to leave them alone. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Iran. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Ukraine. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Taiwan. I want the U.S. to be involved in making the lives of U.S. citizens better.

Your TDS is off the charts(IMO, people who both despise Trump and love Trump have TDS). The US is still fighting with Russia, under the Trump administration. The only contradiction within the US is how to divide and conquer China-Russia-North Korea-Iran. Trump wants to do it by being slightly less antagonistic towards Russia, but maximum antagonistic to China. The Democrats want to do it by being maximum antagonistic to Russia and less antagonistic to China. Iran is the weakest link, so they both can get down with attacking Iran. Democrats wanted to try to slowly crumble it like they did to Syria. Trump worried Iran would be un-destroyable in a few more years, though it looks like he was actually a few years late.

My point? If you're distracted by Trump, either for or against him, you're missing the reality that your government is a giant war ship moving in a direction(WW3), with some clowns dancing on the deck that occasionally appear to fight one another. No one outside the ship cares about the politics of DEI, trans-rights, healthcare, housing, or social security for the people on the clown ship. What they care about is that it's a nuclear armed clown ship that controls all global shipping, has 180+ military bases around the world and apparently a ghost fleet of warplanes that can drop bombs anywhere and on anyone, civilian or not, without consequences.

Since Rust doesn't have a stable ABI you can't link closed-source pure Rust libraries. You have to switch over to a C API and then you lose all of the wonderful features of Rust between projects. This massively limits the size of projects you will see built with Rust.

What aspect of Rust makes it bad for security and privacy?

I love Rust. But in my experience, and maybe this has changed, it's hard to write large projects in Rust. I Rust was developed in an environment where computing power was cheap and abundant, so they could afford to compile everything for most projects. As with so many things at some point, however, "compile everything" starts to become a significant technical debt. You'll want to just utilize a black box library and some headers. This is especially true for companies that develop proprietary software. Even within the same company they don't want everyone to have access to all the code.

But, for example, KDE is 25 million lines of C++ code. The largest Rust project is Rust, at 110k lines of code, or 227 times smaller. There aren't any great Rust UI frameworks like Qt, which is 3.5M LOC.

Star Trek used to try to make sense by loosely adhering to fringe, but not disproven, theories in science. Since Paramount took over they started traversing through space mushroom networks, because warp fields weren't exciting enough. Star Trek plots always resolved with a sprinkling of Deus ex Machina, but the newer Star Trek was a core of Deus ex Machina with a sprinkling of "maybe the Deus won't show up this time." It is very tiring and I can't believe anyone watches this garbage and enjoys it.

I've tried LLM agents for coding. I find they they do an OK job at getting a small project off the ground. Afterwards they're useless for me. However, it really depends if you're writing code that's essential a copy & paste of common code on the internet or if you're writing something new. What I haven't tried is using agents only to unit test my code. That could possibly work out ok.

I've been writing software for 30 years. Honest code reviews take more mental effort than writing the code yourself, unless the changes are small and clearly and verifiably well tested. Proper design for unit testing is hard and beyond the capabilities of AI. Hence, you can't really do better than a human software engineer, yet.

Most people running Linux do not use it as a multiuser system. Most people have the root password. I don't picture dad giving their teenager a login to their Linux laptop. The teenager would have root on their own Linux laptop and could set any birthday they want.
