Research finds AI users scarily willing to "surrender" their cognition to LLMs

today in "random good news":

today's #fedora #rawhide and branched (F44) composes were both perfect (no failed artifact builds at all) and each took less than 90 minutes. that includes producing over 100 (114, for Rawhide) images.

I remember when composes failed all the time, individual images failed all the time, and composes took up to 8 hours, so this is pretty cool!

great job everybody!

the frequency at which I get asked "what's wrong?" just because I sent 😊 to indicate that I'm tired / falling asleep is ~worrying~

During his work on Trifecta Tech Foundation's compression projects, Folkert ran into some limitations of Rust itself. Can he fix it? Yes, he can. Read about several recent contributions to the Rust compiler: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/234/fixing-our-own-problems-in-the-rust-compiler

In our data compression projects, we use Rust where C is traditionally used. During the work, we've hit limitations in Rust itself and in the surrounding tooling. Over the years, we've become incr ...
