Also, Rust is more complex to use than C, so a small program is much better in C. And a large program is probably better in either C++ or Python(with a lot of library calls).

I don't like Rust, so I'm probably not being fair to it, but I struggle to identify a good use case. (Personally, I'd rather use Forth than Rust.)

Note however "will be", not "is". It's not there yet.
Then you have the problem of getting the right standards.

There's probably an end to this somewhere, but I doubt that it will be in perfection.

No one who owns fine art ever needs to sell it. No one who owns vintage cars ever needs to sell them etc.pp.. Of course, you don't need to sell your bitcoins. As long as they are non-distinguishable from random bit patterns, they don't affect anything. But as soon as you selling bitcoins affects the real world, the real world notices and keeps putting up rules, may they be physical realities or legal requirements.

If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt ... up to you, I wear a real jacket and a scarf.

Ugh...had to get on ChatGPT and find out what the fuck 12C was in F.

Ok, so about 54F...roughly. That's cool...I guess depends a bit on how high your humidity is. In the New Orleans area, it can be 54F and very humid...if the wind is coming in off the lake it can be quite chilly....but if lower humidity, more into winter months,...that's not too cold...I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.

Last week it was high-90's and low 100's along the central coast (Santa Cruz & Monterey). It cooled down at night, but I also don't have A/C because I almost never need it, maybe for 3-5 days every 3-4 years it would be appreciated.

You can't get a couple window units to have AC when you need it?

You can put them up and take them down pretty readily......better than baking/roasting on those days when you really don't need to.

How long ago did this happen? The summary didn't list the date of the submission of the "testimony", but thing like this tend to take time to process, so I'm guessing that it happened well over a year ago. This make his claimed "honest mistake" due to ignorance believable. But it also negates your point.

That said, they won't be able to stop hallucinations without breaking the AI models. That's a mistake that people make all the time. What they need to do is prioritize having the AI determine how certain it's statements are, and including that in the statement...but people won't like that kind of answer.

Some place between sometimes and often - I'm not here to argue that - researchers are the first to discover.

But it's also almost meaningless to just go, "I'm such an amazing realist, the worst case happens every time."

That's not really being realist. That's just you not knowing actual things, and having an emotion.
