Alright, I'll actually dive into the research again...

Oh, I see, D is garbage collected, so really it's more like Java or Python. Maybe that's what I'm remembering. Also, @safe code sounds like it's pretty limited - far more limited than non-unsafe Rust.

Basically, if a language had been Rust before Rust showed up, Rust would have been a non-event. They solved a problem that was legitimately open at the time.

Tesla gives the vibe they cut all the corners, and then smooth it over with aggressive marketing.

Hmm. I wonder if the internet's benefits to literacy are starting to dissipate too, as video-based services become really popular.

I feel like this has come up before, and D is not memory safe. It has some helper-type features, but at the end of the day it is still C-like.

TJA suggests a TLM.

I mean, you could just use a vaguely smarter filter. A tiny "L"LM might have different problems, but not this one.

Cooling by radiation is slower than convection or conduction, but it still happens. The James Webb went from room temperature to deep cryogenic in a few months, and it's big. As for moisture, things cook off into a vacuum very easily. That's the foundational to the whole concept of freeze drying, actually.

Freeze dried wood is absolutely commercially available, if pricey. I have no idea if anyone has used it for musical purposes either. There's a lot of audiophile-ish magical thinking in that space so it's possible nobody has bothered.

Edit: Although, since this is a research project, maybe not freeze drying it first was the point.

This is bad. Reminder that there's just ~2000 of them known, though, so it only takes 8 seconds for everyone else to pass their annual emissions collectively.

It's not an excuse to not care about your own impact.

Yeah, Rust is simply the big one right now. It could just as easily apply to people in the 1960's who didn't want to adopt structured programming, or a compiler at all.

Please tell me you just code golf or similar, and aren't making things for people to actually use and maintain.

I'm guessing they freeze-dried it already, so not that much.

If they didn't, it will freeze-dry itself. I have no clue what that would do to the dimensions, since it's not going to be a controlled process like it would be on Earth,

 

Since it's been a controversy on here a couple times, here's a great example of how you can demonstrate an LLM can produce something it can't have seen before.

It doesn't prove anything beyond doubt, but I think these kinds of experiments show to something like a civil law standard that they're not merely parrots.

 

This was an eye-opener for me. Less temporary foreign workers do construction than the general population? Seriously?
