Maybe they want to showcase their AI chips running compact models on their Pixel phones. It would almost certainly be a bad idea on my phone...

I don't think ollama can run locally on your phone, only as a client to your computer. This one appears to run entirely on a phone.

I haven't used it, but from the documentation, it looks like you should do this:

Many examples are listed on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetical_order#Language-specific_conventions

For French, the last accent in a given word determines the order.[14] For example, in French, the following four words would be sorted this way: cote < côte < coté < côté. The letter e is ordered as e é è ê ë (œ considered as oe), same thing for o as ô ö.

Looks like a positive outcome overall.

I asked the Linux Community to RANK 34 DISTROS, here are the results! in c/linux@programming.dev

Additionally, PopOS and Garuda were polled, but didn't appear in the final list. Based on the spreadsheet provided, PopOS should be #16 and Garuda should be #24.

Is a dereferenced reference not equal to the original variable? (programming.dev)
 

I'm going through the interactive version of The Book, and I'm confused by the results of an exercise in Ch 4.3 - Fixing Ownership Errors.

The following code does not work, and they say it's because it would result in the same heap space being deallocated twice:

fn main() {
    let s = String::from("Hello world");
    let s_ref = &s; // reference s
    let s2 = *s_ref; // dereference s_ref
    println!("{s2}");
}

But in my mind, this should be equivalent to the following compilable code, which transfers ownership of s to s2 :

fn main() {
    let s = String::from("Hello world");
    let s_ref = &s; // reference s
    let s2 = s; // move s directly
    println!("{s2}");
}

If s_ref is a reference to s, then dereferencing s_ref should return the String s, shouldn't it? Why can't s be moved to s2 with either the above code or let s2 = *&s;, which fails in the same way?
