You'll also need to just chop New York into two and split the city off. NYC data skews the rest of the state so hard...
(north country anectedote: we leave our doors unlocked and laptops, keys, wallets, and iphones straight up in plain view in parking lots up here in rural nowhere. people are dumb.)
The idea of having a non-crap Siri on my phone that I could interrogate directly would be amazing.
My ADHD brain would love to do this stuff:
"Hey AI, how much is my electric bill this month?" and "Okay thats high. Pay it but remind me next week to order a new AC after researching options for me."
Do you recall which libraries? Use of nightly fell of a cliff after 2018. Looking at the bottom of https://lib.rs/stats#rustc-usage, ~8% of all crates.io requests came from a nightly newer than that corresponding to 1.86. That's am upper bound, as using a nightly compiler doesn't mean that a nightly compiler was needed. The prevalence of nightly is also niche specific. If you're in embedded it is likely you need to use some nightly-only features that haven't been stabilized, but if you have an OS chances are that you don't.
> That's am upper bound, as using a nightly compiler doesn't mean that a nightly compiler was needed.
To be fair it's not even a lower bound, as using a stable compiler doesn't imply the absence of nightly only feature (as in Cargo features, the ones you can enable on crates you depend on).
For the purposes of this discussion the question is not whether or not a crate exposes optional features that require a nightly compiler, but whether or not a crate makes use of the nightly compiler mandatory, which has become extremely rare in my experience. Perhaps it's more common in some embedded use cases, but if people want to make that assertion, I would ask that they either mention which libraries they're specifically talking about or which nightly features they're specifically referring to.
I think the divide is apps vs libraries: a library that requires their dependants to set an environment variable opting out of stability guarantees is unlikely to gain adoption, but applications that do so are more common, like Firefox.

In my opinion what matters is the functionality. If it's provided by a nightly-only crate or as a nightly-only feature of an otherwise non-nightly-only crate it doesn't really matter.
But I agree that this is become more and more rare.
Finding myself in the awkward position of defending Saudi Arabia here, but this is not at all a consensus of the political analysis community.
Relying on statements by the Trump administration as proof of this makes it even more spurious.
That said, MBS has done worse and it's not impossible, but alignment with UAE is faltering more and more so it's possible even if they once favored that action by the US they no longer hold the same view.
I am not claiming Saudis want what's best for the region, only that, even if they wanted war with Iran, they likely now no longer do, or at least would like the conflict to wrap up due to the heavy costs its inflicted on the region.
UAE will see the the whole region burn if it means MBZ can keep his seat.
Sure, but the Saudi Crown prince comments seem reasonable, and don’t seem to have been denied by the Saudi’s
Regardless, my point was that people have a political axe to grind and call this “Israel’s war”.
They intentionally ignore the political realities that the Iranians have pissed off almost everyone in the region and the longstanding tension of the IRGC and the US and our new “Cold War” with China.
> They have an obligation to their investors to make money with it.
It's bit more nuanced. The company management have fiducial responsibilities to the investors but also have responsibility to the company itself and its employees. E.g. Milton Friedman's shared-holder primacy is a crap philosophy and one of the most damaging ones to actual healthy free market economies. For example, in corporate bankruptcy in the US workers get paid before shareholders.
The courts have also tended to favor the company management as long as they're acting reasonably, so I've read. IANAL, but it shouldn't be too hard to say hey this support contract for a core piece of software reduces risk for us by X, Y or helps get Z feature.
Right, in particular my belief long term is that there must be functional open source AI + Robotics that common people can own and operate.
Otherwise big corporations and/or governments will own everything and most folks will be serfs. However if you can buy a few robots and go run a homestead then there can be a counterbalance of people not beholden to the system.
A telling sign of techno-feudalism will be AI becoming heavily regulated and even illegal for common people to make or own. You know because “public safety”.
Steam and Meta Quest are both terrible at ipv6. At least from a year or so back. My home netowkr supported good ipv6 networking on two providers. Steam games would mess up constantly and Quest would take minutes to load.
Steam having issues makes sense given its been around ages. Meta Quest is all new OS and code yet they managed to bork ipv6. Super annoying.
There’s 50 US states. Many are very different.
It’d be even better if it was city based.
