AI is some sort of technology, whoever develops this technology better wins something supposedly. Governments have nothing to do with this, technology doesn't belong to the governments.

we are talking about different things. You are talking about class division, all of this, I am talking about a person who does not have to work and yet he does it because he wants to, yes, but personally for him there is nothing to be gained except more headache, it is not about earning more, it is about doing something with yourself.

I am saying that doing something is an important part of living, doing something useful, where you feel useful, this is what this example shows.

Certainly, if you worked as an office cleaner most of your life, probably you will not be missing that work if you were able to get a pension and stop working, but I think you will still be missing the entire aspect of being useful in a wider sense of the word.

I think what makes us people is desire to be useful, doesn't matter how much money you make. I think people who do not have that desire are actually less than developed people.

Which dependencies are you even talking about? And which ones aren't compete? Be specific. With rare exception, rust binaries are statically compiled, and when there's any dynamic linking involved, it's almost always into a c library. Nobody, anywhere, ever dynamically links rust code into other rust code, so there's no way you're going to have a rust dependency that needs another rust dependency. You know why that is? Because rust doesn't have a stable ABI. So you'll have to excuse me if I call bullshit.

And one other question, have you never heard of pip? Poetry?

You guys always have a hate boner for rust and always come up with the dumbest reasons for it that aren't even true.

His surname is one transposition away from "AI Mode".

My point is that a guy with all the money still chooses to do it, shows that people lose themselves when they have nothing to do that involves more than just enjoyment.

I think American schools should probably teach something. It seems fairly evident that they are not even doing that at present.

Just shows that there is no amount of money that replaces some sort of meaning in one's life. Bezos will treat any business correctly, obviously he will be looking for maximum efficiency, which is not easy to do when you are a billionaire, after all, any issues that can be sold by throwing money at it he can really solve this way, which may be the wrong approach for a new business that needs to become useful by standing on its own 2 legs.

But it is just interesting to observe, a guy with all the money and access, he still wants to spend time working rather than enjoying yet another sunny day on one of his yachts.

I think it's more likely the detractors are being fanatical. Fluffernutter is hilariously so, he called the cloudflare developers inept because they rewrote their network stack in rust. Seriously. This is a guy who, not long before that, was telling me how he writes code four times faster than me (which I seriously doubt) and proceeds to talk about the way he writes code, which introduced potential semantic errors, then talks about how he relies on his code crashing at runtime to know when there's a bug in it. THAT is what being inept looks like.

Few people, even here, understand why rust will help you write better code before even looking at the memory safety aspect. It mostly comes down to the enum system and pattern matching ensuring you've covered all of your bases. Can it crash? Sure, but you, the developer, explicitly told it to.

Nice bunch of extreme lies you have there. Not any surprise.

Here is the first one: In actual reality, the industrial value of gold is not far from its market price. Typically about 50% of it. Do you really think it would get used in industrial applications if it was 100x more expensive than the value using it provides?

That comment is so dumb and disconnected, you are clearly just trying dishonest manipulation.

Well, maybe eventually it may make sense.

Obviously, Microsoft is prioritizing profits over everything, as usual.

I live in an all-electric house.

I bought heatpumps within the first 2 years of buying it. Heating with resistive electric is expensive and inefficient (technically it's about 100% efficient... which is awful compared to a heatpump which can be MORE efficient... because it uses the tiny amount o of heat already present in the air outside your house, even in sub-zero temperatures).

My electricity bill is one-third of what it was when I moved in, purely because of heatpumps. By comparison, I have also moved all my home IT to half a dozen individual Raspberry Pi's which, collectively, run at about ~100W... less than it costs to run my laptop, let alone a server.

Most people are trying to reduce their base load and reduce their heating costs, not increase them.

Can it put the fecking taskbar icons back where they were? And let me drag it around the screen? And bring back the start menu? And finally move everything into either control panel or Settings (but not both)? And actually let me choose to NOT update if I so wish? And making things an OFF BY DEFAULT OPTION first, and never removing an option, just switching it off for those who don't want it? And letting me theme Office again so I can make it look like Office 2000? And ....

Because I absolutely hate AI with every fibre of my being, but if lets me do those things, I might well consider supporting it.
