I agree that Rust's enums are not as powerful as they can be. I for one would like to be able to iterate over the elements of an enum without having to derive anything.

For a simple enum like Clex you can just transmute it as shown below. Assuming we are sure that the value is a valid variant.

Rust supports an easy way to do this.
play.rust-lang.org?version=stab...

The code below just works

WGPU vs Vulkan

I am generally of the opinion that current #AI tech is nearly useless but today I came across trellis3d.github.io.

The models generated using this new paper are unreasonably good. They do lose some quality from the input image but seem good enough to make a prototype for a #game.

In my experience #AI fails to be anything more than a better autocomplete while taking significantly more time to output a suggestion.

I tried #copilot for a month but the 1-2 second pause really caused any deep thoughts to derail waiting for it to come up with a suggestion.

Apparently the Rust drop function for a Box does not get tail call optimized. Ran into a bug where dropping a large tree caused the program to crash due to stack overflow caused by the recursive drop_in_place calls.
