July 01, 2025 #rust #traits #patterns Serhii PotapovJuly 01, 2025 Rust's trait system is famously powerful - and famously strict about avoiding ambiguity. One such rule is that you can't have multiple blanket implementations of the same trait that could potentially apply to the same type. What Is a Blanket Implementation?

Leaks hint at Operator-like tool in ChatGPT ahead of GPT-5 launch

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-02-15 11:22:31

A few new code references in the ChatGPT web app and Android point to an Operator-like tool in GPT's chain of thoughts. As spotted by Tibor on X, the Android beta has strings like “click,” “drag,” “type,” and even “terminal feed,” which seem to suggest that ChatGPT could soon call a remote browser or sandboxed environment (Operator?). For those unaware, OpenAI already has Operator, which uses an AI agent to navigate a remote browser session and execute tasks for you. These references suggest

The White House’s favorite source of pro-Trump news is … the White House’s YouTube channel

theverge.com Tina Nguyen 2026-02-15 11:16:58

The most frequently curated content on the White House Wire, the Trump administration’s attempt to aggregate pro-Trump “real news” from across the right-wing media, doesn’t come from Truth Social, Breitbart, or even Fox News. It comes from YouTube — notably, from the White House’s own channel. The White House Wire was launched at the end of April on the official WH.gov page, around the time that the Trump comms team began ramping up its war on the mainstream journalists and outlets who covered

Tesla Stans Can’t Believe They’re About to Lose a Boatload of Money on Elon’s Robotaxi Launch

Why anyone believes the things that come out of Elon Musk’s mouth is a mystery. The vaporware king has peddled so many outlandish claims over the years that it’s difficult to keep a tally. Still, for whatever reason, he retains a small but devoted following who think his utterances are prophetic prognostications rather than the creative ideations of a sci-fi fanboy.
