The current nightly preview to run rust file as scripts.

alias cargo-script='cargo +nightly -Zscript -q' is my new friend.

Technical debt ? It's not anymore if the dependency is vendored in the crate itself.

Jon Gjengset make great tools. The idea of Noria is to compute reads in advance when update occurs. It leads to faster reads.

At a high level, Noria takes a set of parameterized SQL queries (think prepared statements), and produces a data-flow program that maintains materialized views for the output of those queries.

A software system's structure is essentially a formalized bet on change patterns you anticipate having to deal with in the future.

AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power. Projects that claim to “democratize” AI routinely conflate “democratization” with “commodification”.

Ce n’est pas libre, puisqu’on ne contrôle pas du tout la façon dont ce logiciel a été entraîné et qu’il est matériellement impossible (sauf à avoir les capacités de stockage et de calcul d’OpenAI) à reproduire soi-même.

The AI prioritize safety above all.

Humans tend to make mistakes at the edges of our knowledge, our mistakes tend to clump around the same things, we make more of them when bored or tired, and so on. We have as a result developed controls and systems of checks and balances to help reduce the frequency and limit the harm of our mistakes.

The mistakes of AI models (particularly Large Language Models) happen seemingly randomly and aren’t limited to particular topics or areas of knowledge. Models may unpredictably appear to lack common sense.

Having to read a TODO-list is a pull-based productivity: if you don't pull, you miss.

Anirudh Oppiliappan uses the phone's Reminders app. A push-based approach.

• know your audience

• follow the tag on StackOverflow
• Micro-optimizations can matter

Another possible reason for building a custom desktop computer in the future might be to use alternative components in place of those used by PC manufacturers to intentionally hobble their PC's. The fact that computers are becoming more locked down and less general-purpose should not be a secret.

I had 3 personal laptops during my entire lifetime. It is enough:

• one before college
• one during college
• one nearly after college

On the other hand, games are not really possible on them.

If these are true, this is huge. We already had assumptions. Time will tell.

Rust is associated to software engineering. The post confirms rust concepts.

In all cases, it takes time for the worst or the best.

My wife is on Instagram. She just did this.
She heard there was weird stuff happening. She searched “#Republican” and “#Democrat”.

An electric car have a lifespan of 18.4 years, compared with 18.7 for petrol cars and 16.8 years for diesels.

For the recent electric car technology, not bad!

On the contrary I have some expectations.

I exist only at the moment.

I exist for a better future.

If I die tomorrow, I wouldn't mind at all.

I could have don more without dying.

If life is fleeting and fragile, why do we exhaust ourselves with ambition?

Good point. I didn't thought about it.

If I succeed at things, I don't feel happiness. If I fail at things, I don't feel sadness. Because I know that there is no difference between them, just like life and death.

I feel satisfaction when I succeed at something.
