Wow, #Graphite has come a long way:
Graphite is an open source vector #graphics #editor and #animation engine, written in #Rust which is on its way to a first beta release! Super exciting! 
When you scroll down a bit on their website, they show off some of their recently added features in a video (my facial expression during the whole duration of the video: 😮).
What a bunch of creative folks! :party_sparkles:

#LLMs are not a knowledge base!
Stop spreading misinformation!
They are statistical models that _simulate_ knowledge!
We, as a #society, really have to pay attention to the words and #language we're using.
But I guess, when talking about LLMs, details are not really important, are they!? Oh, such beautiful irony!
Here is your side project speaking to you:

"Hey everyone!
We've received some reports mentioning that the app, support site and the Web Player are slow or not working properly. This is being investigated.
Cheers."
I'm so tired of buggy #software!
"But we have no time for unit #testing!"
Say that to the folks over at zerocopy!

#Rust will end this year with a long awaited feature that will define it's future:
We will get "async fn and return-position impl Trait in trait" (#AFIT & #RPITIT).
It will be stabilized in the next #RustLang version 1.75, which will be released on 28 December, 2023.

Also I absolutely love the music.🎻 Sounds a lot like #LindseyStirling 🥰
Love it!@matze@mastodon.social Yes, that's true.
However, writing the desugared version in the trait is still compatible with using async fn in the trait impl, so the "burden" is more on lib maintainers.
Also this problem only applies when the Self type is generic.
And Send is only required, if one decides to use a multithreaded rt.
I highly recommend the following article by @notgull@hachyderm.io about smol:
Why you might actually want async in your project
@jolla So I've received the e-mail with the discount code and my personal link. Here is what I did:
Jolla phone batch #3 shows up in my cart (together with the chosen accessories) and the order was apparently complete.
What's the deal with the discount code that couldn't be applied, though?
Thank you for any clarification.
...wait, my scrollbar is so small 🤏 Oh, it's because there are so many cool new features in the release. 🙂
