Who would use it? What would the selling point be for users? It being in rust is, by itself not one; nobody cares what language is being used. And while the number of bugs would drop, the kernel is already fairly stable for its users.
They'd need to have some other, positive reason to go through the pain and uncertainty of switching.

To be fair though, nobody decided to stop listening to jazz because academics started writing papers about it. Academics would be thrilled if their work would ever have such an impact.

Yes and no. You'd have a conference on, say, neuronal plasticity in the hippocampus, and in a given year it would perhaps highlight the role in long term memory formation, but that would be mostly about who were invited speakers that year. The range of papers would be the same every year.

Not really themes within the subject matter (it may have a "theme-like" slogan); but for smaller conferences especially, the subject is so narrowly set already that it may effectively work as a mandatory theme.

People have even done the opposite and made them work as GMs, with so-so success.

I've got to the point where I have to get up half the time even if I've gone just before going to bed.
It helps me a lot to basically plan for it, and expect it. Make it a short break from sleep, alone with my thoughts, enjoying the dead quiet of night.

Isn't that just the case for all your personal data? Any app can read your Word and Excel files and so on as well. That's the security model for PCs, that data isn't sandboxed between apps for a single user.
We do sandbox critical data (cf. password managers). But is a chat transcript really any more critical than, say, a spreadsheet containing your personal economy, or unpublished fanfic, or whatever other personal data you keep unencrypted?

Exactly.

To be fair, here in Japan I run into quite a lot of academics who can just barely read English papers in their field. Writing their own is simply beyond them.
Big name faculty and wealthy institutes often have a translation or editing desk that will help you. But many grad students and postdocs, especially at budget constrained places, have no recourse.
For all their faults, LLMs do produce better copy than google translate, or asking your sisters friend's foreign boyfriend.

Enda jag inte är överens med honom är att det är värt att see henne live. Vi såg konserten i Tokyo och det var absolut värt det.
En live föreställning som är välgjord och ärligt menat är alltid värd att se, nästan oavsett innehållet. En inspelning är inte samma sak.

What does Kenta think he is? Does that factor in to other definitions?

Or you can go to an Ikea store and they have a wall near the service center full of bins with all their fasteners, nuts and bolts and so on, and you can just roll up and pick a few of the ones you're missing.

The first one feels like a portrait where the subject looks right at you. The second they're looking away.
For a first headline picture I think the first works better. Use the second somewhere in the article itself?
