When Firefox has an internal adblock like Brave, I will come back.

There are projects like this: urlx, curlio.

Today is Jun 15. So, I wonder if somebody + AI can rewrite curl in Rust in 1.5 months. I think it's possible if that person knows all curl features. However, does that person even exist?

What are they used for? Its CPU's PassMark scores an average of 4,246. A quick check on AMZN: https://www.amazon.com/KAMRUI-Mini-PC-i3-10110U-Bluetooth/dp... uses AMD Ryzen 4300U (scores 7364), 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, supports 3 4k (maybe 30HZ) monitors at the same time. That mini pc cost $289.

That $350 price tag is good for that configuration. Not sure how fast the USB-c ports are. It should have an HDMI 2.0/2.1 port. Mini PC's with the N150 CPU support 2 4k@60Hz monitors.

I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with my question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot.

If this happens to me, it's a sign that they don't want to talk to me and I'm going to be let go.

Nobody cracks open a programming book anymore Not true for me. I still read the "Learning Rust in a month of lunches" although I ask AI to write Rust code all the times.

It's not surprising that an LLM would produce different specs for the same work on different runs This is what I don't understand: AI is a computer program with its own data. If we give the same input to that computer program every time, why does it produce different outputs every time? Or does the input include LLM data + our prompt + some random data that computer program picks from its Internet search?

The thing that impresses me most is that the author knows everything (from the high level architecture to the small details) of "multi-Paxos consensus engine" (I have no idea what it is, but it must be very complicated) and can write everything out for AI to read (or did he/she use an app to convert speech to text)?

So, the complaint is that Linux (Fedora + KDE Plasma) is unstable after a week of usage and daily update? I'm not sure about Fedora as I'm using Arch (also with KDE Plasma on wayland). Everything is very stable for me. I `paru -Syu` whenever I remember or when VS Code shows at the lower corner that there's a new version.

I'm using wezterm in KDE Plamas in Wayland.

Has anybody done like this with Rust (e.g. https://github.com/LiveGray/100-Days-Of-Rust)?

Before reading that post, I would use sqlite/duckdb for everything related to data. After reading that post, I will use sqlite/duckdb + Rust for everything related to data :-)

But the energy prices (electricity and gas) don't go down :-( Then "renewables generate more power than natural gas" is not very meaningful.

But ... when you use the WAL mode, you have 3 files :-)

the free tier will initially provide 50GB of monthly data Is it per machine or profile or ip address or something else? I switch from Firefox to Brave a few months ago because the markdown in aistudio.google.com is not displayed correctly in Firefox. I wonder if anybody has the same issue or that issue can be fixed.

No need of colored functions because that Java green thread returns a Future<Value> not Value like colored functions

Not sure if there's anybody like me. I use AI for only 2 purposes: to replace Google Search to learn something and to generate images. I wonder where there are not many models that do only 1 thing and do it well. For example, there's this one https://huggingface.co/Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14... for Rust coding. I haven't used it yet, so don't know how it's compared to the free models that Kilo Code provides.

I agree. IMO, Scala can be written in Li Haoyi's way and it's a pleasure to work with. However, the FP and Effect Scala people are too loud and too smart that if I write Scala in Li Haoyi's way, I feel like I'm too stupid. I like Rust because of no GC, no VM and memory safe. If Rust has features that a Joe java programmer like me can't understand, I guess it'll be like Scala.

I wonder how big 1300, 1400, ..., 2200 Elo chess engines are.

You can search for "travel router" on youtube, buy a router like in the videos and done. However, a lot of cruise ships forbid travel routers, so you might need to buy a router which you can take the antenna out (keep the router in one luggage, the antenna in another luggage :-) ). I never did that though.

Not sure if anybody gives you the answer to "what is tailscale?". So, this is my answer (hopefully it's correct and simple enough to understand).

Tailscale allows devices that can access the Internet (no matter how they access the Internet) to see each other.

To do that, you create a tailscale network for yourself, then connect your devices to that network, then your devices can see each other. Other devices that are connecting to the Internet but not to our tailscale network won't see your devices.

AI might explain it better :-) Don't know why I wanted to explain it.

You couldn't get the rue-lang.org domain? There are rust-lang.org, scala-lang.org, so rue-lang.org sounds better than .dev.

I'd love to see how Rue solves/avoids the problems that Rust's borrow checker tries to solves. You should put it on the 1st page, I think.

I wonder what the advantage of passing it around is when it makes the argument list longer. The only advantage that I can see is that it emphasizes that this function does something with cache.

It's exceedingly rare to see any sort of global mutable state I know a bit of Rust, so you don't need to explain in details. How to use a local cache or db connection pool in Rust (both of them, IMO, are the right use case of global mutable state)?

I wonder why nowhere talked about who Jia Tan was. In my understanding, a few people already talked to that person. Now, does Jia Tan really vanish?

I agree. Screen sharing in Teams used to work in Firefox but not in the current version (144). It works in Chrome though.

There's at least 1 thing that Zig is better than Rust is that Zig compiler for Windows can be downloaded, unzipped then used without admin right. Rust needs msvc, which cannot be installed without admin right. It is said that Rust on Windows can use cygwin but I cannot make it work even with AI help.

Is it true that a message from a queue will disappear after it is consumed successfully? If yes, at this moment, how do you make kafka topics work as queues?

Is Google guava really needed? I would like it to be taken out.
