LLMs are surprisingly good at reducing crash samples. I've had success with "this project crashes my static analysis tool with the following command, try to shrink the repro whilst preserving the crash. Commit each smaller version to a branch".

I've released difftastic 0.68! A smaller update, but still worth upgrading: * Improved Bash, C, Go, Lua, Nix, Perl, Python, Rust, Scala, Swift and YAML parsing. * Minor display and git compatibility fixes.

USB-A connectors seem absolutely massive when the majority of my connectors are USB-C. With hindsight, maybe the original USB standard could have been smaller. USB 1 came out in 1996, way before the modern smartphone, so I assume it was more focused on desktop devices.
