Just get corn-on-the-cob, it will self-pop after this mess.
Careful what you wish for, the plutocrats always find a way to make us plebeians bail them out.
Don got a gold bar in his knickers after hearing that.
"algorithmic funds" have been around for a long time. Letting neural nets guess rather than a hand-coded algorithm guess is not much different, conceptually. It's generally the type of investment that "high rollers" select.
Somebody forgot to validate the word-count
"AI will save Linux from Rust"
For int'l flights: Amazon Leo is launching next year. Delta is waiting.
And LEO is even easier than GEO since it doesn't have any moving parts. GEO had to rotate to keep alignment. LEO are all using phased arrays.
For existing code in the QA he said leave it be and it's better to fix.
For new code, he's recommending Rust and the advantage he talks about is that it makes the code more maintainable by people. And one thing that every AI coding talk I've seen agrees on is that what makes code more maintainable by people also helps AI and vice versa.
People and AI both have limited attention and memory. The less context necessary the easier it is to evaluate safety.
Another thing not in the summary he touches on is hardware safety. Not just software bugs but also compromised hardware which if your driver is memory safe can also prevent a buggy or adversarial piece of hardware since the hardware is effectively user input.
MBA 1: "Hmm, how can we squeeze more revenue out of this gizmo?"
MBA 2: "Short term revenue or long term?"
MBA 1: "Short term of course! It's all we do."
MBA 2: "Then stuff it with more ads!"
MBA 1: "Brilliant!
To balance out OP's selective quoting to avoid people strawman-ing his argument as a fanatic who can't balance risk:
"No, we don't want [rust] rewrites, so unless you're the maintainer and owner of that file, just do it for new stuff. Leave existing C code alone, and let's evolve forward after that."
Now, that doesn't mean he thinks Rust is magic. It's not. He cited one of the first Rust components merged into the kernel: QR code display logic used when the kernel crashes. "That logic was written in Rust. Famously, it had a memory bug. It was given a buffer and its size, and the rest of the st code never checked the buffer size... Could scribble all over memory..."

Especially when Xi goes to grab it.

Maybe I'm a bigot, but I cannot unsee this stereotype of a Swedish Chef.
