i'm really proud of this policy. it's not perfect, but i think it's close to the best that was possible given all the constraints. i'm excited that this will make things easier for mods and reviewers, and hopeful that it will spark change in Rust's governance. blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/...

rust-lang/rust is adopting an LLM policy | Inside Rust Blog

If someone asks me why I like Rust so much, it's because in addition to it's performance, - no null or undefined - compile time error checking And I'm using it for things like: - web backend - TUI/GUI apps - lambda functions - embedded development - robotics And that's why I'm bullish on it 😂

Less than 30 minutes into Onshape (1st time user) and I already got the basic shape of my chassis done. Just need to cater for a few more holes for charging the robot's battery, the power switch and maybe the other ports on the Raspberry Pi. Onshape is pretty easy to get into! #robotics

Alright so I'm currently building my own simple mobile robot to learn and I'm currently at the stage of building the chassis. Turns out just using a plastic box isn't that ideal. Looks like I'll be jumping into learning how to design a 3D CAD body and printing it lol Wish me luck folks 😂

So right now I'm actually building a simple mobile robot for the 1st time. I'm using Raspberry Pi as the main computer paired with various Arduino Uno's with a few sensors. My question: has anyone used Arduino Uno's and compared them with something like ESP32-S3? Which do you feel is better?

I use A.I I don't use it the way you think I do. I don't use it to code. I prefer to build the things I build in a deterministic way (A.K.A by myself). I use A.I as a component for use-cases that make sense (e.g conversational/interactional services via LLMs). Yes we do exist 😆

I can't believe I have to do this but this is your daily reminder that algorithms have existed decades before the so-called "A.I" that many A.I hype bros claim run Threads behind-the-scenes. Not all algorithms are A.I but A.I do certainly run on them. Hope that helps.

So I just tried ask both Gemini and Claude regarding some Rust questions. Both just gave me code with functions that don't exist at all. Could you not do that and just give me the link to the crate's documentation? Doing it myself is much faster 😂 #rustlang
