Most of the people on Slashdot have been screaming that the emperor has no clothes for a while now

rsilvergun has been screaming even louder about how AI as we have it now it's already the end of the world, and that society isn't "ready" for it until he says it is.

Funny coincidence, two hours ago I just finished two cavern dives in the very cenote complex in Playa del Carmen TFS alluded to. Some of the best diving I've done yet (comes really close to diving with tiger and bull sharks.) Currently on my second margarita while having a rest Doing another two cavern dives tomorrow.

And the mere possibility of that happening is why progressives are in favor of the IRS being allowed to ignore the constitution. rsilvergun will go wee wee wee all the way home if he doesn't get his EBT while drinkypoo, a feeder, complains that rsilvergun's right to maintain obesity has been violated.

At that age it's probably better to learn to read first. Besides, Florida isn't even the 10th state to mandate cursive after the federal government eliminated it as a requirement in 2010. Among the earliest states to require it after that is the very state that you believe can do no wrong.

Comment Re: C/C++ code covers more complex legacy code (Score 1) 33

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.

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.

Why is everybody talking about the USA?

You do realize you're on an American website, that primarily focuses on American topics, right?

If that bothers you so much, you can always go back to reddit.com/r/russia to speak with your comrades. Don't forget to stop by r/americabad on the way.

The USA does not matter one bit in the transition to EV. It is completely irrelevant.

Except the whole part about Tesla still being the top selling EV in most of the first world. In fact, the first and second best selling EVs in your neighboring Europe are the Tesla model y and model 3, respectively. That's even after they started grumbling about Elon.

https://citaevcharger.co.uk/bl...

The USA has decoupled themselves from the global automotive markets.

No, that's just you. Nobody but Russians are buying a Moskvitch, which is a total shit car by the way. Besides, you and Europe alike have disconnected yourselves from technological development in the rest of the world. Shit, even your friends in China make you guys look outdated.

As a European once said: America innovates, China imitates, Europe regulates. Meanwhile, you Russians go to Ukraine to die.

Nope, that's all you. The only thing I'll give him is that he was very charismatic. He couldn't have gotten where he did if he wasn't. For everything else, he pretty much always did the wrong thing. And I'm not only talking about morality, rather he kept making the absolute wrong strategic decisions. Declaring war on Russia? Stupid. Throwing away an entire brigade in Stalingrad? Really stupid. Joining a war against America? Fatal mistake.

There's practically nothing I have in common with him. But you on the other hand, you'd have loved listening to his rants against capitalism. He also loved putting swastikas on things he hated, just like you.

It's a good thing that none of what you said applies to me. I can say, with complete certainty, that your stance on it doesn't come from anything rational. You're really just as delusional as the "Muskrats" you're referring to. The "side" you're on holds no relevance. Any time Elon succeeds at anything, at all, your brain responds much the same as if you were physically slapped in the face. That's exactly why you feel so threatened by him, that's why he seems to dangerous to you, and it's all because of your ego.

Let that sink in.
