Oh this is really cool, I did it and I landed on the font I've been using for years now: "Fira Code".

The quote of Bjarne is a bit out of context. It was made after an hour long talk about the pitfalls and problems of contracts in c++26: https://youtu.be/tzXu5KZGMJk

This should also clarify the complexity issue.

The title is misleading. It says in one of the first sentences:

> The comments within do not represent “the Rust project’s view” but rather the views of the individuals who made them. The Rust project does not, at present, have a coherent view or position around the usage of AI tools; this document is one step towards hopefully forming one.

So calling this "Rust Project Perspectives on AI" is not quite right.

Correct. This is one internal draft by someone quoting some other people's positions but not speaking for any other positions.

Not speaking for others, but Niko's writing is IMO strongly shading the wording used to describe positions that do or don't align with his own views.

Maybe "Rust maintainers' perspectives on AI" or "Rust contributors' perspectives on AI" would be better?

I took it as meaning "perspectives of people in the Rust Project about AI."

100% agree. I am whitnessimg this on a daily basis working for a german company that develops both hard and software for indistrial machines.

Just FYI you can also run a windows docker natively in windows without using WSL or any linux component. But that's more of a niche usecase.

I haven't heard anyone talk about Windows containers in years, and that was actually a good thing. Let's just pretend they never existed.

I very much agree with that, I had the same thought a few days ago.

I feel/am way more productive using chatgpt codex and it especially helps me getting stuff done I didn't want to get started with before. But the amount of literal slop where people post about their new vim plugin that's entirely vibecoded without any in-depth thinking about the problem domain etc. is a horrible trend.

Why should it be?

All he is saying: We currently have products in a similar product category (arm based desktop computers) that are widely used and have known benchmark scores (and general reviews) and it would make sense if I publish a new cpu for the same product category ("Reaching Desktop Performance" implies that) that I'd compare it to the known alternatives.

In the end you can just run Asahi on your macbook, the OS is not that relevant here. A comparison to macbooks running Asahi Linux would be fine.

But why would an article address _their_ specific usecase?

> But why would an article address _their_ specific usecase?

amelius, if anyone had specific requirements, it was you with your "systems for in-flight entertainment".

OP asked a very reasonable question for a very generic comparison to the 800-pound gorilla in the consumer CPU world in general, and ARM CPU world in particular.

If the article can reference AMD's Zen 5 cores and Intel's Lion/Sunny Cove, they could have made at least a brief reference to M-series CPUs. As a reader and potential buyer of any of them, I find it would have been a very useful comparison.

In industry, people want to take computing parts and build products with them.

This is not possible with Apple parts.

That's what my example was about. It was only specific because I wanted to have a concrete example.

> In industry

Talk about specifics, eh? Didn't you just argue against an article addressing "_their_" specific usecase?

In a store people will ask "is this better than an Apple?".

And I'll tell you one more thing, when I was in the industry and taking computing parts to build products with them I did not form an opinion by reading internet reviews. I haven't met anyone who did.

Believe it or not Apple has no say about this

There can be quite a big difference on the reception of a product and the working conditions. I think that's nothing too out of the ordinary in a lot of cases.

It apparently used to be even much better to work here. I've been here 6 years now. There is naturally a lot of "talent" exchanged between here and Amazon, which has influenced the culture.

He probably refers to the fact that Ghostty aims to use the native window decorations etc.. So for example on Ubuntu it uses gtk, on mac the native macOS tab bar etc. Same goes for the scrollbar and search window.

I really like this a lot.

I disagree. You can't even create simple C++ inheritance examples because you don't have data inheritance. So basically classical OOP is out of the window.

That's the biggest difference to C++ and most mainstream languages, you simply can't do OOP (which in my books is a good thing) and it forces you more towards traits and composition.
