From what little experience I have with rust, the ideology of the language is rather different from c, so while the full set of use cases across all those supported OSes is largely analogous, the implementation has little potential for copypasta, especially where those subtle differences exist.

Comment Re:Never seen a Chinese film (Score 1) 98

There's a lot of stuff that's "historical", mostly about their heroes and their various wars.

In the old days the films had two persistent characteristics - they were very linear (you would not have an exterior and interior shot without also being shown the actor going through the door) and everything in them was very much black and white, no nuance. I guess the party didn't want much of a thinking stimulus. Also, they were fantastically over-exaggerated, all heroes jump-flying, laying down thousand and so on, like the Matrix fights, but with terrible costumes, garish make-ups and weird costumes and on visible wires.

I've seen one or two "modern" Chinese films and they are basically the same, but the "AI" lets them do it with a lot less effort.

So One can easily understand why it is so popular with their "directors" - when your "creativity" isn't in the plot and acting, but the effects, then you love the toolkit. But that's hardly uniquely Chinese thing, you're seeing a lot of it in Hollywood a lot as well.

What have you done since then to overthrow IRGC since that's living rent-free in your head? No more than anyone else, that is absolutely nothing.

And what does 9/11 have to do with IRGC? That was your Saudi Arabian buddies, the good towelheads.

Not to mention that the people who danced on 9/11 were the future teabaggers, today's MAGAts, who rejoiced that the "liberals in New York got it" and saw the classy act of their Saudi friends as a chance to justify their desire to "take the oil" of Iraq.

Y'all magats are small annoying parasites hanging on to the body of a stupid vulture, the repugnican party, hasbara bro. But it is feeding you poison, not fresh blood :))))

It does work, people are getting more stupid, enormous resources are misallocated in a terribly inefficient manner, money and power are concentrated, etc. and it is a process that is basically irreversible.

That it produces mountains of shit as an outcome is a feature, not a bug.

Most people hit by the "AI revolution" that I know have degraded rapidly by the daily reliance on their best friend.

And it will get a lot worse. But on the positive side, the AI is ready, once I asked it something like "mmhhh ggghhh rrhhhrmmhhr?"

It immediately replied, "what would you like, a greasy burger, an energy drink or a cool tune to rave to, give me one number and I'll tell you how to get one".

We'll be getting there fairly soon.
