49 points, 4 hours, but only on page three. This is a highly relevant log of the destructive nature of "AI", which consumes human time and has no clue what is going on in the code base. "AI" is like a five year old who h

"they all know each other" Stop right there. In this industry, a clique of people who all know each other attest each other superhuman abilities? Unheard of! Shouldn't "AI" write itself by now and make them redundan

In the past decade, security researchers have been sounding the alarm about the dangers of memory safety flaws. "Memory unsafety is a scourge plaguing our industry," said security researcher Alex Gaynor back in 2017. That guy fi

They are still pushing the "AI dominance over China" argument to clueless politicians. The anti regulation clause sneaked into the "Big Beautiful Bill" ($5 trillion new debt) facilitates consumer exploitation and has no

Liuson told managers that AI "should be part of your holistic reflections on an individual's performance and impact." Running MSFT like an Asian sweat shop will sink it long term, but perhaps that is the goal.

I'm sure that Misanthropic sponsored studies are entirely unbiased and accurate. This is either marketing or virtue signaling or both.

What is the benefit of nuclear sharing for European countries? The sites where the nukes are stored will attract Russian strikes and you don't have the launch codes. It seems like the worst of all worlds to me. After a limited nuclear

Indeed, we don't charge humans for breathing, but we do attempt to discourage CO2 emissions for machines. These are completely different things on a completely different scale. Misanthropic has convinced this particular judge, but ther

It is interesting to read the pro-AI rant in the comments on the linked commit. The person who is threatening to use "AI" anyway has almost no contributions either in qemu or on GitHub in general. This is the target group for cod

Maybe that is because the article is chaotic (like any "AI" article) and does not really address the false positive issue in a well.presented manner? Or even at all? Below people are reading the tea leaves to get any clue.

I have the feeling that with Alsup always the larger and more recent company wins. Google won vs. Oracle, now this. So what is he going to do about the initial copyright infringement? Will the perpetrators get the Aaron Schwartz treatment?
