Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

The life of a French fence must be exhausting, one day it's a load of snails that like 4 restaurants worldwide even want, the next it's the crown jewels of a country that hasn't existed for 400 years, probably tomorrow it's a thousand baguette baskets carefully handmade from Aquitanian reeds

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

i dont get why nearly everyone online thinks being mistreated into oblivion will make you come out of it better and wiser, theyre like mini abusive parents
"Some people deserve to be bullied" is always wild to see because it's so deliberately childish as to make it difficult to imagine the person saying it has the moral capacity of an adult human being.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

This post is suddenly getting tons of replies and favs that are way larger than the audiences of the accounts

… are there bots anti-AI posting? That would be pretty interesting!

(One or two are followed by accounts I follow so i don’t think that’s 100% of it)
it's chilled out. a lot of people still very upset by it, but there's some talk too

I'm thinking about how it now seems clear this particular fascist moment will end, this particular movement will fall, but I'm thinking about all the forms of horrible harm that will be locked-in forever and go uncommented on. I am thinking about this because KOSA has been reintroduced in the House.

as a member of the Technology & Standards group at Woven by Toyota it's my role and responsibility to "make Rust work everywhere on the car"

yes, even the areas of high safety-criticality, up to ASIL D, like brake controllers
