What? Tensorflow, one of the 2 main frameworks for doing AI work is a google project. Google has domain specific processors to accelerate AI workloads - tensor processor. Google Brain. Id argue they have been making the biggest effort out of all the large tech conglomerates. They just haven't made an effort to turn their developments into consumer facing products, instead of milking the ad-cow even more.

Early alpha/beta rust docs mentioned Haskell all the time as a point of comparison, but I don't recall them ever mentioning OCaml.

Also, Rust's idiomatic type system usage is way closer to Haskell's than it is to OCaml's (with typeclasses, no polymorphic variants, no module functorization, etc.)

I don’t think it will be swarm since there are size limits for drones to carry useful payload. The US is working on drones that would accompany fighters and provide extra ammo. They would also be useful for simple jobs like loitering and dropping smart bombs that US strategic bombers did a lot in Afghanistan.

I doubt pilots will be dogfighting or doing bombing runs because those aren’t done any more.
Really disagree on this one.

It's true lots of software were unreliable back in the day. But:
- Crashes sometimes != Slow, bloated, and unreliable. I'd rather have something simple and responsive that crashes every now and then, than something that is aggravating to use all the time.
- With the massive increase in hardware performance, there's just no excuse at all for slow unresponsive software now, especially from the big vendors. The reasons are not even usually technical; the bloat is from ads and tracking and more

> I'd rather have a search take a second or two longer if it is able to handle synonyms and different word forms.

I'm not sure people are complaining abut search being slow. Most complaints about search is that is lower quality than it used to be.

> VS Code is so much better than Visual Studio from around 2000.

VSCode and Visual Studio are two completely different products, one is a code editor, and the other is a full blown IDE. There were very good editors back in the day. And VSCode has started showing signs of a decrease in quality.

There is no language in that link that limits the risks to long term exposure. If you follow the OSHA link on that page, you'll see that the ERPG-3 is 20000 ppm; that's the level at which some people will start facing lethal complications after an hour of exposure.

If you're gonna argue that there are no consequences to acute exposure, you gonna have to provide some sources.
> Honest businesses don't make their prices with regards to how much "spare cash" their client might have.

Yes they do. This is indeed how supply and demand works, companies price what the market is willing to pay, it's just that in this case, the market is a clientele of 1.

Wouldn't be if it weren't for all that big gummint.
I imagine they'll shrink a bit and look a little different than what we have now. I'm curious what percentage of most fighters space today are human support system versus payload capacity, fuel storage, maneuverability surfaces, engines, control systems, sensors, etc. And I also wonder what percentage of the costs per hour come from the pilot in the seat versus the maintenance of the aircraft and other operating costs.

Carrying enough fuel to go some far distances and back takes up space. Missiles and bombs aren't always small. If you're carrying a lot of payload/fuel weight, you're going to need to have enough surface to generate enough lift, etc. If we're planning on these birds to run similar-ish kinds of activities, I don't know they'll be that radically different. But maybe the missions will be radically different.

> A jet fighter can very much be considered disposable

A jet fighter still usually costs a few million to acquire, before the cost of the pilot even come into the picture. Once again, if they're gonna be built to handle the same mission profiles, I don't know the acquisition cost is going to be radically different. Probably a bit cheaper, but what costs more the seat or the engine? The stick or the hydraulics that actually actuate the wings? I wonder what the real savings are to take the seat and life support out of the plane. Like if you made something like the F-35, but no seat and no life support and no fancy targeting helmet, what's the per-unit cost? Something tells me still probably a few million. It'll be a lot cheaper to lose one in the end not having a human in the seat, don't get me wrong, and I imagine there would be less hesitation to deploy them in riskier deployments since there's no human in the seat, but I don't know I'd use the term disposable to talk about a few million dollar piece of hardware.
> there is no reason for replace C with Rust.

If you have some reason to choose C today, I'm not sure Rust is a contender to stand in as a replacement. They are vastly different languages. That doesn't mean there is rejection that C's memory model is unsafe, just that there isn't a "better C" recognized to choose from.
> But I can basically demonstrate other language features that are not working with closures, such as generics -- you just can't have generic closures in the same way as you have generic functions, even in a synchronous code.

Generics and closures work just fine:

use std::ops::Add;

fn adder<T: Copy + Add<Output=T> + 'static>(x: T) -> impl Fn(T) -> Box<dyn Fn(T) -> T> {
move |y| Box::new(move |z| y + x + z)
}

fn main() {
let add23 = adder(2)(3);
assert_eq!(10, add23(5));
assert_eq!(13, add23(8));
}

You keep making sensationalist generalizations. It's trivial to demonstrate that closures and generics work together just fine, as I've done above. Are there subtleties and complexities and other things that can make certain cases or areas tricky? Absolutely. But that's not the same as "not working."
To what site were you expecting to see a link? Isn't the better complaint here that there simply isn't any good public content on this subject and that all the official docs are behind paywalls or NDAs?

FWIW: I just tried "mazda 5 wiring diagram", and indeed there's nothing good there. But... I think that's because there's nothing good there. I suspect if I really want that document I'm going to have to buy it.

I mean, everyone in a technical field deals with this. There's stuff out there, but it's going to be on some rando adware site with questionable licenses. Datasheets for old ICs. Repair documentation for consumer electronic devices. Even regulatorily required stuff like MSDS sheets for older products tends to not be available in public places.

But the search engine can't fix that for you.

While this is a major misstep in my opinion, I think there is a major imbalance in reputable media in the world. We need more non-Western sources of media that are respected. People are realizing, as in this case, that Western countries have skeletons in their cupboards too, and will stop respecting Western media establishments. Imagine China sanctioning the US for treating black people with impunity.
Services. Inevitably some of the queries involve recommending a service, and when you have two equal substitute services in a market, both will pay a certain price to be recommended over the other.
I feel like first movers advantage is a myth.

I don't think there's any question that there is an advantage to being a first mover. What I think is a mistake is thinking that it's an absolute advantage, and/or not recognizing that it's also true that there are advantages to to not being the first mover. I mean, there's a reason why the "fast follower strategy"[1] exists as well.

I think in reality though, all of this is over-simplifying things. There are a LOT of variables in the equation for "does this product succeed or not" where "being first to market" is just one of those variables.

Ah, what's old is new again!

truthiness: a truthful or seemingly truthful quality that is claimed for something not because of supporting facts or evidence, but because of a feeling that it is true or a desire for it to be true.
This needs to be emphasized. The internet wasn't wildly different when Rust was introduced, but it was a different time. Communities devoted to technical things (like programming languages) were harder to find, and generally felt smaller. On a cultural level, Me-Too and Trump did a lot to bring what OP labeled "obligatory LGBTQ nonsense" to the forefront. Before that, LGBTQ people did face a more casually open sense of hostility on a regular basis.

There is a direct line between fostering an environment that is open to all sorts of marginalized groups, the people joining that environment being more inclined to help out with the core project, and the core project successfully growing a large user base.
It is new. Landmines can be reasonably clearly demarcated. Torpedoes can only be fired at certain things. AI-powered aircraft have the potential to be flying over civilian populations, or at least near enough to hit them with a missile.

And with landmines - they're hideous and we shouldn't want more things like them anyway.
There's really only been 2 technological advances in weaponry that could possibly be an existential threat to humanity (nukes being the other, and existential threat to humanity is perhaps an exaggeration there). I don't think these require the same approach as non-world-destroying weapons where "speak softly and carry a big stick" can work.

Existential threats require real diplomacy. Not just, oh let's give the weapons to the "good guys".

The only way to stop this is for technologists to decide that we don't want this thing to exist. Virologists are trying the same approach with gain-of-function research, and it has mostly worked. Yes, it requires sanctions, and politics, and some people will attempt to circumvent laws and safeguards in thirst for power. Those people must be stopped.
Part of the game is learning how to figure out what the fuck you're supposed to do.

I remember a long, long time ago firing up Access. I quickly closed it and continued to use Excel as a database. As it was only for personal use this wasn't an issue.
> video games won't need voice actors any more and way more fleshed out dialogue

I respectfully disagree. One only has to look at Mass Effect's voice acting for male and female Shepard. It's (almost) exactly the same dialog lines, both performed by humans, but Jennifer Hale just kills it. The voice alone made a lot of players think of Femshep as the canon (despite the male model being present in the box art and most PR media).

I do agree in that we might need less voice actors - but mostly for non-key NPCs. Humans will still play a role.

On that same note, it would not surprise me if non-key NPC's dialog was not written by a human any more, but by a machine. A human "writer" could be replaced by a "chatgpt prompt engineer". But again that will only apply to secondary NPCs.
> To be clear, the contention is "Most heavy industries go bankrupt because union members are constantly stealing supplies from the company."

I didn't read it like that, and I'm surprised anyone can read it this way.

It seems to me the contention is that someone who steals from a company does other things too that lower the overall productivity of the company. One bad apple and all that. The supporting evidence was that once those people were fired, the company starting performing well.

At least that's how I understand the OP's argument.

Of course! What I meant was that in some cases composition is a more flexible approach to representing a complex (business) model than inheritance, from object oriented programming.

Rust has a nice (IMO, ergonomic) way of representing composition through a language feature called "algebraic data types", although it's sometimes called "discriminated unions" or "sum types".

Sum types combined with "pattern matching" is a particularly powerful combination that can make code very easy to write and read, IMO. But not always, so don't take it as an absolute truth. This is one of many articles that explain sum types in Haskell: https://medium.com/@willkurt/why-sum-types-matter-in-haskell...

Statically-typed languages that borrow from functional concepts like Rust, Haskell, F#, Elm and others usually support that. C# has been debating adding support for it (https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/113), but its community hasn't reached consensus yet. Dynamically-typed languages like Elixir don't benefit the same way from this without sacrificing the flexibility of the language, but in this case they're considering alternative approaches like set-theoretic types: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2022/10/05/my-future-with-elixi....

> Burning a product because it would have otherwise needed to be recovered and transported under pressure

I don't think that's correct. It was leaking. No recovery was feasible. The options at hand were "let it leak" or "burn it", and burning it was the right choice.

Now, maybe you don't believe that. And of course I believe it on faith. But real chemical engineers are making these decisions, not yahoos on HN. And the fact that you perceive a "breakdown in trust" of those engineers doesn't make them wrong. If you want them to be wrong you need to provide evidence yourself.
If that's the case, then yeah fair enough. If someone doesn't want your opinion they shouldn't ask for it.
Confirmation bias is huge. If you're looking for something, you will generally find more of it.

"...the outcome is what you see before you; back page/hardly any coverage a week after the incident. Nothing on the front pages a week after the incident. Barely a blurb."

If they're there, whatever work they're doing is not making it onto front pages. The alternative explanation (subtext from the description above) is more likely - most major news outlets have not sent a journalist to cover this, neither are they covering EPA updates. If they were, why is their work not receiving daily updates on the news outlet front pages?
