As explained in The Rust Programming Language book, Rust doesn't indeed prevent memory leaks (although it makes them difficult to achieve). What the language prevents (unless you use unsafe code) are memory errors like accessing dangling pointers, double free, etc. It also prevents data races, but not memory leaks.
Wonder what will happen when the AI bubble bursts and they find many users and mods are not there anymore.
So they start using it to make reports and reply emails. Then they make it participate en business strategy and take risky financial decision. And that's the real threat.
Now every tech company wants to put it everywhere, but a time will come in which we will be removing it from almost every product.
... (checks notes) let's make things even worse.
Linux user here. And yeah, I know I am in the minority, but on Linux the driver issue is just the opposite. The amdgpu driver runs just great, with perfect stability and great performance, while the nvidia drivers have great performance but cause all kind of problems...
Also I want my games to be mine.
We should call it "Derivative AI" instead of "Generative AI". It is a like a washing machine. You put everything inside, it gets blended and the dirty copyright gets cleaned.
Yeah, I know Excel is vastly superior to LibreOffice Calc, but on this specific topic, LibreOffice Calc has always supported Python integration (via PyUno). It was already supported by Apache OpenOffice before the fork, so how can this be patented with so much prior art?
Thanks a lot for sending many devs to Godot and increasing its fundrising!
Humble games were producers/distributors (and maybe also developers?) of games, and are a different group from Humble Bundle.
One of my favorite games of past years (SIGNALIS) was in fact distributed by Humble Games.
Should children stop learning how to add because there are calculators?
Of course, the 17.65% price increase for the GamePass Ultimate will for sure translate to a proportional raise for Microsoft employees Â_Â
In Spain, Passport is translated as "Pasaporte", so many people have started calling this "El Pajaporte", that could be translated like "Wankport". In english "Wankport" does not sound very funny, but "Pajaporte" sounds almost like "Pasaporte" ^_^U
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies. FORTRAN is for wimp engineers who wear white socks.
