Probably because T1 was kind of 'meh' both when it released and after the test of time.

It didn't subvert expectations like T2 did. It didn't have the depth that T2 did. It didn't have the effects or art direction that T2 did.

Honestly it's surprising that T1 was able to make a name for itself at all given that there were so many other generic action-horror films with the same shitty concepts that were released at the same time.

>>107531267
Very first Linus Tech Tips video I watched was him making a water cooled system that connected to a radiator outside his house. He didn't like that the existing cooling solutions dumped heat into the room the computer is in. He used copper plumbing, which was the worst possible choice since copper conducts heat, dumping most of it into the room he was trying to stop from heating up. This was before I knew he intentionally does stupid things to get attention so I raged at his moronic solution. The basic idea might have been fine if he used insulated PVC instead of copper but the attention and clicks must flow.

it came up during one of our rust vs c discussions
>>
>>107534870
> like the lack of clear specification
i heard it has one now, but honestly i don't care so much, rust is already pretty well defined in the books and rfc's etc.
> however is cargo and the recursive dependencies
so what made npm so bad is that packages are not immutable and also jeeted.
you'll not find anything that uses "is_odd" unironically in rust and unlike node, you can't just change a deps's past, it's immutable.
though i agree, that applies for everything, if you use dependencies you need to trust them.

though, you don't have to use a ton of dependencies if any, you have to weigh the pros and cons i guess.
> where they post packages they reviewed themselves
makes sense.

in former company we'd write every line of the code, and we'd specify them in cargo.toml with git path, using cargo doesn't mean you have to use deps from crates.io.

> youre not gonna say amazon is paranoid, right?

>>107534984
>>107534956
no worries.
there is no risk in using cargo if you only use it to download repositories you control.

but yea, the supply chain risk is universal and not specific to rust, i'd not be surprised if they did it with other lang that were in critical pieces of their infra.

and anyway, nothing stops you to use rust like C, or even use rust with nothing but C libraries you manually downloaded.
>>
>>107534994
>>107534984
>>107534956
also, if you code in C and use libs, you'll typically use dynamic linking against things from your package manager.

idk if i'd trust more a binary package manager than crates where you build from source and the code is audited by the comunity to some extent.
>>
>>107534994
>>107535002
on my end the trust issue boils down to the culture, personal bias, and hostile deign

lets start with the last one:
hostile deign in that importing code 30 libs without realizing it is way easier in rust than it is in c
my personal bias is that i only use the glibc in most of my code, most of the stuff i do is numbercrunching-related so i dont have the need for anything
and i expect most of c code is similar in being economical in imported libs.
i could use sdl 2 if i'd need a gui, i have all the sound related packages installed but this is something like 6 packages total?
and culture, when one programs in c theyre paranoid when rust users culture seems to be "if it compiles it means its correct"
its bias, feelings etc,
but what is trust then if not a bias, a feeling?

Why do people act like this isn't extraordinary technology?

I see people calling AI a glorified search engine, but it's clearly far more than that. The ability to focus on what a user specifically wants, and infer points of confusion on the user's end before clarifying them in detail is nothing short of incredible. It can produce in minutes what would normally takes hours, if not days of manual searching from the user.

Much gets made of AI replacing artists, but if you ask me, the real job it replaces is the educator. Teaching standards are already dropping to unprecedented levels, and now human teachers are completely and utterly outclassed by a far superior source of information; one capable of immediately aggregating data and providing the sources to go with it. I've been doing some research for a software project I'm making, and the free version of ChatGPT has helped me more in a handful of hours than months worth of classroom attendance just by providing focused, explanation-backed information.

What do you mean? Are you trying to argue that transformer-based AI systems are not just next token prediction machines with probabilities?
>>
>>107534481
Retard. Given a transformer and its state, you can predict the NEXT token, but not the 10th token after that. Although this is only a possibility, it could be that there's no way to predict the output of transformer, other than actually running it.
The most general computer, the turing machine also works that way. The next action of a machine is deterministic but there's no way to predict its output, you have to wait for it to finish.

>Why do people act like this isn't extraordinary technology?
Because it's really not. It's machine learning trained mostly on Reddit and Wikipedia, and sometimes actually good forums and websites.
Everything "good" about ChatGPT comes from good training data, it scraped (stole) from a good resource and presented it to you, so you're happy with it.
You probably could have found the source yourself, but having this "AI" find it for you and present it was more satisfying.

The moment you ask something that people don't usually ask or talk about it fails just like a google search that funnels you into the results it "thinks" you want.
Add to that the tendency to hallucinate, glaze you, and try to give you an answer even if it's not what you want instead of just saying "I can't".
Every time when it actually matters it will waste your time or make the problem worse.

My brother was asking about a problem on his home server and the AI actually told him to run rm -rf /, I've had similar experiences.
One time I was having an issue where Windows would beep three times after loading, I knew that I had somehow enabled sticky keys or one of the other accessibility options, but wanted to test AI's capabilities.
As you can guess in 99.99% of search queries about beeps from a computer it's going to be a BIOS post code, even if you explicitly say after boot or after logon, both Google search and ChatGPT would funnel you into the most common answer to your query.
I was looking for manga/manhwa recommendations with specific plot themes and it just scraped lists it found online so most of the recommendations didn't even fit the criteria, when I tried forcing it to find exact matches it started hallucinating titles because it simply couldn't find what I was asking.

These boomers blame everyone but themselves: the committee, the designers, and the implementers. Klaus Iglberger insists the language isn't the problem, we "just" need to teach the users better. Obviously, with more teaching, the safety problems and complexity problems will go away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN0U4P4qmRY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjO76ygwGdA

He has such inane suggestions as removing all "raw" or plain for loops in favor of std::algorithm functions and ranges. These approaches are absolute ass for writing, reading, maintaining, and debugging. Trivial examples are easily noted as being absurdly longer, and they scale horrifically with complexity (not that they look a whole lot better in Rust). This is first and foremost an issue with the semantics and syntax of the language. Secondly, these approaches still don't help with lifetime issues. Klaus, and so many others in this space, are obsessed with blaming raw pointers. Raw pointers are a single symptom of the issue - and frankly, it's not a good argument for them either. He has no valid advice for dealing with older libraries which you must use which use raw pointers and other unsafe constructs (let alone POSIX APIs). I can only believe that based on Klaus's suggestions that he just wants to sell more books and training sessions.

If you watch these conference videos from people like Klaus, Jon Kalb, and Bjarne, it becomes painfully obvious that they either have their heads buried in the sand, or that they live in an alternate reality. Who the fuck thinks that it's not a language problem that competent use requires hundreds to thousands of hours of training? This isn't even getting into all the retarded fuck-ups of formal syntax and bad library designs that they love to hand-wave away, or the fact that implementations can't keep up with the half-baked designs that have been added since C++20.
