Great news everyone! I finally talk about AI hype. Someone finally mentioned LLMs one time too many, and the reckoning is upon us:

going to throw out an order-of-magnitude estimation of a new committer making their first PR on @ParslProject costing the project around $1000 - which we could regard as an initial investment in that person making future contributions, but 52% of our first time committers have not made a subsequent commit...

When people say that learning Rust is hard, they often mention lifetimes. However, even after seven years of writing Rust, 95% of my code, probably more, doesn’t have any lifetime annotations! It is one of the areas of the language that I definite…
We've all been having a good laugh about sparkling autocarrot suggesting that people include glue in the cheese on pizza, and that we should all eat rocks.
But at the same time, you can buy mushroom identification books in Amazon that are "written" using sparkling autocarrot.
Actual printed books. On how to tell very similar poisonous and non poisonous mushrooms apart. Something that is really hard for skilled humans in some cases.
Who has liability when people start dying?
