I don’t think Rust needs this; Rust has done great for the last decade with the coherence rules it has. I am glad to not have to worry about this, and to not have to worry about any of the downstream problems (like linker errors) that coherence structurally eliminates.

> you're arguing semantics here

Yes, semantics — what do things mean, exactly? — is the subject of the discussion here and is actually quite important in general.

It’s odd that the article identifies Apple’s hardware as a limitation for AI. I don’t think this is the case. If anything it’s the opposite, and makes Apple’s lack of execution more mysterious.

I was running Stable Diffusion on my iPhone two years ago. You can get quite good open weights models running on-device today. What’s going on over there?

The example you are discussing starts with the following user query:

<example> <user>how should recent semiconductor export restrictions affect our investment strategy in tech companies? make a report</user> <response>

Finding out where the user works is in response to an under specified query (what is “our”?) and checking for internal analysis is a prerequisite to analyzing “our investment strategy”. It’s not like they’re telling Claude to randomly look through users’ documents, come on.

> We don’t know who placed the trades. We don’t know what they knew.

Actually, “we”, collectively, do know, because the SEC maintains an “XKEYSCORE for equities” called CAT.

If there was interest, the government could know exactly who placed these trades. But the call (options) are coming from inside the house.

When the government is acting badly, yeah

This is a bad solution because now method resolution is suddenly unpredictable and can change out from under you based on changes to remote crates

Rust just doesn’t really have linker errors.

After 8 years of programming ~exclusively in Rust it’s easy for me to take this for granted by forgetting that linker errors even exist — until I am rudely reminded by occasional issues with C/C++ code that ends up in the dep tree.

This property is downstream of the orphan rules, and given the benefit I wouldn’t give them up.

This article lists international money transfers as a non-useful application of blockchains. USDT on Tron alone is now settling 1.25T$ (1/3 of Visa’s annual settlement volume).

Clearly some people do find them useful.

That seems like a them problem?

If you don’t live in the EU why are you concerned about the application of European law? Why would it apply to you?
