If things were to otherwise stay the same, then it would. They won't. Some descendant of "vibe coding" will become the dominant mode within 20 years. Probably a *lot* sooner. Next year wouldn't really surprise me.
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.
Then you have the problem of getting the right specs.
Then you have the problem of getting the right problem.
There's probably an end to this somewhere, but I doubt that it will be in perfection.
Nobody can write safe code. People, can, however, test the code they write, and if there is a comprehensive test suite, fix it so that it works safely. Debugging is mandatory!
Considerably more difficult than you imagine. Between them, they have almost 70 command-line options or flags. Taking into account that many of those behave differently depending on the presence or absence of other flags, there's a couple hundred different code paths. Then you need to handle directories, files, sparse files, sym- and hard-links, on and across different filesystems, not to mention the various file-like things scattered around (pipes, streams, etc.)
It's not rocket science, but neither is it trivial.
agencies can't be trusted to oversee themselves.
We knew that. But now we have proof.
Will anything happen because of that? Nah, I don't think so. A few token gestures maybe. A friendly mail to everyone saying to write better reasons, followed up by an informal mail that tells them to ignore the previous one.
This isn't a mistake. It's intentional. The more arbitrary and uncontrolled the police can act, the more it is feared, the more it is a tool for oppression and not a part of civil society, the more likely the cops will stand on the side of the powerful when there are protests or uprisings against the increasing oppression and economic divide.
It sounds as if he was referred to the bar association evaluation committee. IIUC those are he folks that can do the disbarment. A court can only say "you can't be a lawyer before us anymore", but he'd still be fine in a different court.
No. Not "is generally", but rather "must be". If the software can decide to ignore it, it's not a kill switch. (OTOH, computers today don't tend to come with kill switches. Those would prevent remote wake-up commands from working.)
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.
OTOH, this sounds like one of the reasons I prefer debs from the standard repository over things hosted on other sites. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's safer than lots of project specific repositories. (And it's one of the reasons I try to avoid Javascript, Go, and Rust.)
You're assuming they can't connect to a nearby open wifi net. Some reports have them doing that, though I don't know how valid those reports were.
Maybe not, but some are considering, e.g., salt water. Of course that's for "cloud brightening". And irrigation is already causing some areas to experience excessive salt in the agricultural land.
Lots of things in medicine and biology were discovered long before there was and plausible reason. And how many people understand, e.g., alcohol. Often even when you do understand part of it, you don't understand all.
What this needs is a large double-blind experiment. Worry about the explanations later. (And EXPECT the first ones to be wrong.)
Let me know when all this heart rate monitoring can do loss-of-pulse detection and call emergency services if I have a heart attack.
I can't tell whether that's a joke, but the Google Pixel 3 smart watch has "recently" (June, 2025) received FDA clearance for "loss of pulse" feature. Seems like there would be a lot of false positives if the watch is either too tight or not tight enough, but maybe not.
Not a joke. I'm aware of that feature, and that's why I said it. No idea about false positives.
No, it does not. Maybe you're thinking of Pixel Watch?
If this is timesharing, give me my share right now.
