>Outside of DuckDB, PostgreSQL's core and ClickHouse, most of, if not all, the most impactful projects in the database world are now written in Rust.

This just isn't true. There are lots of important databases that are not written in rust. Many are written in other memory safe languages, like H2 and Cassandra are written in Java, cockroachdb in Go. Others like BigQuery, MSSQL, and Oracle are written in C++.

The initial premise is wildly overstated, so is the headline.

Then use AI for maintenance. It's AI all the way down. AI is taking over. AI is going to win and there's no stopping it. You're going to be left behind forever if you don't use AI right now. In fact, you may be too far behind already to start.

Did I do that right? ;)

Anyway, AI maintenance can be a time saver if the maintenance is easy. Like upgrading a dependency and all you really need to do is fix imports on five hundred files and modify a method or two. That would have been time consuming, but it's not hard. I think the OP has hit a good point though. Writing code is the fun part, not the bottleneck. The pain is the maintenance, so let's apply the AI there and keep having the fun to ourselves.

Yeah, no that's not how it works with email. You have to build reputation for weeks or receivers throttle you.

Thank you for bolstering my argument.

>Friday’s episode at Denver’s airport came one day after a Delta Airline employee died on Thursday night at Orlando’s international airport when a vehicle struck a jet bridge next to an airplane with passengers onboard, as the local news outlet WESH reported.

>Meanwhile, on 3 May, a United Airlines plane arriving in Newark, New Jersey, from Venice, Italy, clipped a delivery truck and a light pole, which in turn struck a Jeep. Only the delivery truck driver was injured, but the plane was damaged extensively and the NTSB classified the case as an accident while also opening an investigation.

From the article. "Rare" occurrences... three times a week. In the meantime, Japan runs an airport for 30 years and never even loses one piece of luggage. The US is not on the same level as Japan. Any insistence otherwise is just cope.

Completely normal. Happens all the time. My plane was delayed this week because of an unruly passenger on the plane before mine at the gate. My plane had to be diverted into another state while they sorted him out. The day after I landed, I was walking to get something to eat, and there was a bum fight at the road entrance of a Target. They had a disagreement about who could panhandle there. On the way home, some guy climbed the fence and got on the runway. They don't know who he is though, he was sucked through the engine of a plane.

Anyone who says this stuff isn't normal in America doesn't get out much apparently. Living in the US is nuts.

This means Linux is getting better faster than alternatives :) With many eyes, all bugs are shallow, and now there are nearly infinite AEyes looking at the source code. In a year, Linux will be the most bulletproof operating system ever.

You're missing a whole lot of points here.

1) They aren't legal adults.

2) Protecting the Boomers again, who had it better than their parents and their children. Why protect the future when we can coddle the past instead.

3) Absurdly, most of HN will die on the "government ID required to vote" hill, but this is just fine now...

Okay, but you're telling me kids that don't have a government ID can't have phones now, right?

The creeping is advanced by the blue/red team mentality too. MAGA won't care about this because their guy is in charge. If he were not, there would be conspiracy theories about how this is all a plan to get Trump and his supporters. For now team blue complains until their guy is in charge, like how Biden insisted everyone needed to show vaccine papers to participate in society and they were silent. Few can see that the two teams are different sides of the same coin.

>until I was in the hospital last year

So much for HIPAA huh?

Aren't you guys glad there are no programmers gatekeeping programming with their "morals" and "etiquette"? Any marketer with an LLM can update the programming tool now. AI really levels the playing field and it's time for pesky programmers to get off their high horse, don't you think? :)

>What should matter is intent, the human that gives the orders.

If you are instructed by your professor to write an application, do you own the copyright or the professor?

Suddenly, you think you own the copyright again. In fact, in every case, you think you own the copyright. Because of your feelings. That's a common opinion here on HN too. You don't have this opinion by any logical stance. Nor by any legal doctrine.

The fact is: Copyright law applies to human authors. AI is not a human.

In other news, 40% of your LLM's training data is reddit posts. Derive from that what you will.

>We can't determine who is talking about those pesky Epstein files and shut them up!

Yeah, it's toxic behavior, I'm sure of it.

It's permissive license, which means it's dead Jim. Everyone using it will maintain their own forks privately. I work on contract with a once popular permissively licensed project. Every company has their own fork of the thing. All of them. They apply their one off patches and never worry about "the community" or whatever. Lots of little good ideas in areas they focus on, but nobody has the whole enchilada anymore.

Elon Musk built his whole identity around electric cars to save the world from fossil fuels, and now he's powering data centers with natural gas like everyone else. Lots of tech bros are like this out there.

10 years ago: We need to save the environment from CO2 global warming!

now: Broooo, you need to use AI or you're getting left behind!

>powered by natural gas

I love how AI made all the tech bros flip on 40 years of calling CO2 "pollution."

AI scrapers have ruined everything.

A government backdoor was found and abused by criminals? No one could have predicted this! :)

AI slop strikes again.

>The agent itself enumerates the safety rules it was given and admits to violating every one. This is not me speculating about agent failure modes. This is the agent on the record, in writing.

Yeah, sorry. Computers can't be held responsible and I'm sure your software license has a zero liability clause. Have fun explaining how it's not your fault to your customers.

But still hiring almost 1000 h1b

>This is due to one important caveat: to ensure reproducibility, the pacman keys have to be stripped from the image, meaning that pacman is not usable out of the box in this image.

>Users will need to (re)generate the pacman keyring (by running `pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux`) before being able to update the system and install packages via pacman.

Interestingly, this approach is how archlinuxarm has been distributed all along. https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/generic

>But putting that aside, if a citizen supports banning cigarettes for people born after a certain date, but not alcohol, that certainly seems hypocritical to me.

Why does everyone on HN seem to have a hate boner for alcohol? The main problem there is car culture, not the alcohol.

In any case, the hypocritical part is where the UK, like many US states, has legalized marijuana for medical use and is well on its way to legalizing it for recreational use. Pipe tobacco at least smelled good. Cigarettes, not so much. But marijuana smells like a mix of stale cigarettes and body odor. AND the second hand smoke isn't just harmful, it can make you high along with the dirty smelling marijuana smoker. At least with nicotine, it sharpens your concentration. THC on the other hand makes you a lazy Cheeto eating couch potato with no future.
