I’m on an 11 Pro. The site works fine. The issue is the audio. It somehow continues playing after the page is closed and after the application I’m using is closed. It took a phone reboot to stop playing.
I’m not claiming that there’s malicious activity on the part of the site. I just wonder if there is something anomalous about how it plays audio.
> Rust may have a tremendous success in the future, because it's much easier to write it with AI (ignoring for a moment whether that's really a good thing).
It’s interesting that Rust could become the most deployed but the least written (by humans) programming language if the dreams of AI bros come true.
If AI gets good enough to competently translate other languages to Rust then there is no point writing in Rust (a language with a steep learning curve and is high friction in use), you can just write in a low friction language like C, C++, Odin, Zig, … etc. and have AI translate it to Rust catching all the memory bugs in the process.
If your objective is just to hack something together quickly to test an idea, and doesn't care if the application segfault 6 hours later (eg. a prototype game engine), C++ is definitely the superior choice to Rust.
Rust is like the instructor demanding that you build your house up to the national code, down to the choice of nail for your floor board. Your house will be perfect, but building it is extremely difficult and high-friction. In many cases this is unnecessary.
I can get cross platform rust up and building and running with 5 minutes. It’s probably half a day at least for c++ and a more significant maintenance burden.
Also, I think the “quick to prototype” only is beneficial if you know c++ and don’t know rust. I know both and I can say that Rust is much faster to prototype in precisely because
a) tests are trivial to add meaning it’s trivial to add test coverage vs in c++ you have to integrate gtest and bother to set that up which no one does
B) many initial startup bugs are prevented. It’s not segfault after 6 hours but spend hours getting it to work correctly after it compiles vs it runs mostly correctly from the first build.
Even if Rust is slower to write (which is only true if you don’t know Rust and don’t have AI) it’s still overall faster to develop in. I can’t recall if MS or Google have written up their experience on that side or focused only on impact to vulnerabilities.
You can hack things together pretty effectively in rust if you put your mind to it (so many things that bog people down in rust are due to focusing too hard on premature optimization of either performance or correctness), and the easier to use tooling really helps with that kind of thing. I use Rust for small one-off projects frequently just because it's easier to work with.
> translate it to Rust catching all the memory bugs in the process
That's not possible. If it were, you'd just fix the memory bugs directly in the original language.
Your best bet is to have a translation littered with unsafe blocks, so you still have to do the work of nailing down the specifics to make them safe. There's no magic "unsafe language" -> "safe Rust" pipeline, even with GenAI.
I imagine it could, eventually, if not now. The Bun translation used Anthropic's best model, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still contained a large number of unsafe blocks. Maybe if they left the agent running for longer, using Miri for verification?
Maybe try Odin. Based on what I have read, it’s basically C capability-wise with better ergonomics - a simple language; no objects and limited compile time shenanigans.
Don't think it has worked though. People in generally don't seem to give a shit. Everyone is worried about day to day stuff - the price and availability of housing (getting kind of stupid now), inflation, job security, trouble with neighbors, ... etc.
Personally, the only good thing about Singapore is its relatively good governance - which covers a lot but it's not perfect; e.g. housing.
For me, remove that and its just an island in the Pacific.
If I'm supposed to be feeling some sort of patriotic zeal, it hasn't happened yet. But maybe that's because I'm a bitter old man living in a rented one room flat who is now really feeling the apparent temperature of 32C at 09:45pm.
He bought into those companies willingly and on his terms though. Twitter he was force to buy. Now he is flailing around for some kind of exit strategy from his 1 billion a year interest payments.
Also today's Musk isn't the same as yesteryear's Musk. Back then people still gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowing him to hype things to the moon. Today he is disliked by a hell of a lot of people making everything he touches toxic to those people.
I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars.
A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among the rest is reduced as well.
Question is if the US should be that police. I think the majority outside will say no; maybe they cannot do anything about it at the moment, but long term they might band more together.
> SE Asian ethnic Chinese names: Harry Lee Kuan Yew, (English name) (Surname) (Given name). Hated the name Harry and got it removed, though many Chinese are referred to by an English name.
Really? Your parents named you the exact same name as a famous politician?
Edit: Really? Downvote me for the OP’s bad English?
The famous Singaporean politician Lee Kuan Yew to whom you refer was given the English name Harry by his parents. The poster you're quoting isn't themselves claiming to be LKY.
There's no pronoun for that sentence, so it's left undefined who it's talking about. It doesn't mean the poster. It also doesn't really matter, if one former Singaporean politician dropped their "first name" then it's being used as an example that others may too.
It means that LKY himself stopped using the name Harry, for whatever reason. His (LKY) Wikipedia article states when, but not why - it cites his autobiography so that may be a useful source if you are interested to learn more.
The poster you're replying to is not claiming to be four different people or even any one of them, and your challenge does not contribute anything. In the case of Lee Kuan Yew, he did indeed drop Harry from his name, with varying stated reasons.
The fragment "Hated the name Harry and got it removed" probably means "[He] hated the name Harry and got it removed", not "[I] hated the name Harry and got it removed". The grammar is acceptable in many contexts.
I think people’s GoogleFu has also gotten worse. A lot of examples on this page of bad google results have natural language queries.
Google is a traditional search engine. Traditional search engines run on keywords. You enter the keywords you want on the webpage and press “search”. Didn’t find what you were looking for? Add more keywords to make it more specific. Things you don’t want polluting the search results? Exclude a keyword by adding a “-“ in front of it to remove those specific results. Rinse and repeat until you find what you need or give up.
> Videos are too light on solid information and are too hard to use as references.
Depends on the video.
I rarely use videos for how-to though. The written word is more convenient as it allows me to skim it and it’s easier to skip ahead. Video is good for demonstrating things where motion information is useful though.
