In computational biology / biotechnology, LLMs are being trained on biological sequences and can then be used to generate new genes or genetic variants. These genes can be placed into bacteria who are then fed with e.g. sugar to make them produce various valuable molecules from renewable resources instead of from crude oil using conventional chemistry. There is also work on enabling plastic biodegradation this way.

Does KeePassXC's blog post on how they use GenAI give you a different perspective? To me, that way of using it is perfectly reasonable.

I'm with you, as a maintainer of some small FOSS projects with very limited time, a lot of these complaints seem entitled and uninformed views by people that don't contribute any code of their own.

I'm sad that the internet doesn't seem to make a difference between fully vibecoded low effort low quality projects, and experienced developers using GenAI in a very restricted, carefully reviewed way. Even further, some only use it as an additional code review method. If overburdened maintainers use it to get a leg up on delivering features while keeping the quality level up, that should be celebrated and not punished.

Since OP will want to do a lot of character based operations for the hangman game, she could also consider using Vec<char> as an internal representation everywhere and only converting into String for display purposes.

If you are into custom ROMs, you probably don't want to get a recent OnePlus phone

LOS can also be a good way to get updates way longer than what the phone's manufacturer will provide them for.

No, it uses the WebView that comes with the operating system to minimize memory usage.

Ah, missed the line in the article about secondary tariffs. Thanks for pointing it out to me. A 100% tariff on China and India until they stop importing Russian oil would indeed be very disruptive

What I'm missing from the articles is putting the potential consequences of the threatened tariffs into context. In 2024, Russian imports into the USA were 3.27 billion USD, whereas the GDP of the Russian economy in 2024 was 2.17 trillion. Even if there is fakery in the reported GDP, exports to the USA are likely less than 1% of the Russian economy
