They were not. The rule now is that they have to go into a special bag that cannot be opened while school is in session. Before they could be left in a backpack and snuck out or used between classes.

The legislature (of states and the federal government) routinely passes laws explicitly giving the head of state the power to make decisions like this without passing a law. The most recent one in Oregon about schooling was SB 141.

+1, PageRank was taken from academia. They even cited it in their original work. Funny how the origins of these things get forgotten.

The article is full of PR-speak. What is really going on in this law?

Because it was the "hackers" (Musk) that created this situation, and the "hackers" (DOGE staffers) that participated.

This is a bit of a straw man. The harms of AI in OSS are not from people needing accessibility tooling.

> These use cases are like blaming MySQL for storing the lat/long of the school. A storage layer versus a decision making system? What a ridiculous comparison.

This is all a temporary problem. PFA will roll out to everyone, income thresholds can be (and are) renegotiated, and as someone who has a large PFA tax burden, I'm happy to pay for it even if my kids will age out before I get the benef

Oregon has some decent things going for it. Multnomah county is rolling out Preschool for All and it's wildly popular. I know lots of people who were going to move, but stayed in Oregon just because they got into the early lottery for

> How would you prove to the black box ZKP that you are the phone owner? My point was that your described flow was just shifting the burden of identity verification from one service to another. I think the ZKP solution has the benefit of

How would you prove to the government in step 2 that you are the person whose age they're certifying? This also seems like a lot of effort to maintain uptime and security of a service like this as scale, when errors would potentially k

Google is rolling out ZKP for age verification with state-issued digital IDs. See https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/zero-knowledge-proofs-... for context

It's a waste of your effort to apply rational argument to the actions of a group that are in it for a shakedown.

> Google doesn't have that same pressure. I doubt it. Gemini is heavily used internally for coding with integrations across Google's developer tooling. gemini-cli is not meaningfully different from claude code.

This is my favorite part of this story. Do you want remote code execution? Because [fixing things that aren't broken] is how you get remote code execution.

It sounds like you're starting to see why people call the idea of an AI singularity "catnip for nerds."

OK, but that is distinctly NOT what clang does... incremental compilation with clang is handled at the build system level. I can't speak for rustc, but I do know that it typically ends up going through llvm, which, contrary to the auth

Can you elaborate on the implied claim that you've never built a project that you spent more than two months thinking about? I could maybe see this being true of an undergraduate student, but not a professional programmer.

I took a peak at "Compiler Education Deserves a Revolution" and thought, wtf is this talking about? It claims clang is NOT "a pipeline that runs each pass of the compiler over your entire code before shuffling its output alon

When I read "KiB" I say "kib" and it's fine. Similar for GiB, TiB, PiB. "I bought a two tib SSD." "I just want to serve five pibs."

You are speaking in the abstract. Did you read this paper? I suspect you did not.

They counted multiple hallucinations in a single paper toward the 100, and explicitly call out one paper with 13 incorrect citations that are claimed (reasonably, IMO) to be hallucinated.

I'm not blaming anything on anything, because I did not (nor did the authors) confirm the cause of any of these errors. > I don't share your view that hallucinated citations are less damaging in background section. Who exactly

by j2kun 9mo ago
Read the article. The author uses the word "fabricate" repeatedly to describe the situation where the wrong authors are in the citation.

I actually believe it was an AI hallucination, but I agree with you that it seems the problem is far more concentrated to a few select papers (e.g., one paper made up more than 10% of the detected errors).
