@adrian oh but they don’t need the tech talent pipeline anymore, remember? they have AI and armies of vibe coders now

If you've ever struggled with trait/typeclass compiler errors, or if you're interested in better user interfaces for compiler diagnostics, check out our upcoming PLDI paper: "An Interactive Debugger for Rust Trait Errors"

Rust famously has good error messages. But we found that with the right interface, people become ~3x faster at identifying the root cause of a trait error. See our blog post, including a live demo in your browser:

The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;

- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)

- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days

- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity

And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.
