«Stoolap - High-performance embedded SQL database in Rust»
Have any of you tried it before and what is your experience with it? Can it be used in the same way as SQLite? I ask because the open source project is relatively new, i.e. are there certain arguments to (not) use it productively?

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/115883445350346364
I think the technology could be used responsibly for narrow use cases (e.g. writing code is a narrow use case), with the very important caveat that the training data needs to be properly licensed and authors properly compensated (unless they licensed stuff free for commercial use); as well as companies offering it being transparent and honest about what LLMs actually do.
Anyway, even if that’s the case (and that’s a big if and certainly not the case today) I have serious doubts concerning the long-term financial sustainability of companies like idk Anthropic.

Performance-wise, Safari on iOS apparently doesn’t seem to like the over-engineered CSS custom property calculations for fluid type and all the other stuff in my little style mixer. 🙈
But hey, my personal site is my playground, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d like to see all these institutions get out ahead of this. ICE •will• provoke direct confrontations at schools. The question is not whether but who: who is confronting them? Who is on the line? How prepared are they? How have they prepared?
There •will• inevitably be some kind of active defense — and if that defense comes ad hoc, in a panic, in a moment of crisis, we will all be the worse for it.
