From my fairly quick reading, their premise seems to be "we can no longer trust /unknown/ developers who use AI to understand and maintain the code they submit", rather than a simple attack on those who use AI. This seem

The rust conversion was a byte-for-byte replica of the original's bytecode, was it not? Thereby it was easily possible to validate the quality of the AI-based work. The same would obviously not be possible for patches. I don't bel

So the US won the cold war and eventually decided to emulate their defeated opponent. It's quite a character arch.

OpenAI etc, are, however advertising them like they are magical oracles, on the verge of lifting humanity to next phrase of civilisation. The idea the majority of users know what nondeterministic even means it's a massive, massive ask

Most of the time you don't need redundancy. You need regular backups for exceptional circumstances. And k8s gives you more complexity, and more problems through more moving parts, to give you the possibility of using a feature you&#x27

Isn't this the same for maven, python, ruby projects too? I don't see this as a web only problem

It frames themselves as under attack, which thereby gives themselves moral justification to attack, and when those attacked attack back they fulfill their justification, and the circle of violence and death perpetuates.

People from a nation think and write alike because they share a common canon of literature and stories. It's just a pity AI was trained on mindless, garbage business-speak, and now that's our globalised common literature. And now

France has distanced itself from Israel recently; Israel is refusing to buy more French military equipment

Israel recently refused to buy more French military equipment, and France's relations with Israel is at a low; I'm wondering it was the reason the French vessel was allowed through.

Because, like Venezuala, they were selling their oil to China, which would allow China to attack Taiwan and take the US's supply of advanced semi-conductors for its weapons and military dominance

Ah, there are so many jokes like that which still make me smile. I'm grateful Red Dwarf and his books were part of my childhood.

The point is that /anyone/ is being compared to a dog, that the whole relationship is being compared as such. It's demeaning and is pretty much a slight, ironically enough (albeit directed towards the manager in this occasion

Well, to many it seemed that an obvious cause-and-effect fact that should have come from empathy and introspection--that workers are just like you and I don't like being slighted--and didn't need to be written about. Yet when of t

Have we got to the point where we need an article telling us that slighting people doesn't help their motivation? Perhaps the answer is yes when we also compare a worker's motivation to a dog's motivation seemingly without ir

No, I was looking for a French one. I'll persist with this for a while and then switch if things don't get better. Thanks

Using a French server has been a pain. Their level of customer service is much worse than that in the US sadly

So how do the maintainers and contributers know when a Discussion details a bug ready to be worked on? Seems like, as with issues, they'll still be sorting though them and looking for the most active ones? Edit: after reading the contr

"[A] direct attack on a democracy’s ability to form consensus" is a wonderfully precise term. Splitting democratic nations through fearmongering targeted at everyone's online profile is an incredible weapon.

Making people something for software rather than helping them interact healthily with real people in their surroundings feels irresponsible at this point in time, given all the damage social media, short form videos, and the rest have done

Well, that was stellar work. It's a little sad that such threats could work with a smaller less resourced company. Still, adguard dns got on to my radar because of this.

I think even with locals you're still mentally dealing with a few items on the stack in each word usually. But, yes, locals do help you from passing around items from word to word: you see the usage of the local far easier than you see

One simpler explanation: in forth you are forced to keep the stack, and modifications to the stack, in your short term memory, albeit only really three numbers in most cases. Whereas with C et al you simply look down the page at the variabl

If something happens to Taiwan, the USA will have given a huge military advantage to its biggest adversary. It's going to take decades for the USA to catch up with Taiwan, and once China has its grip on the fabs they'll only furth

Russia is a dictatorship at war with Ukraine and the West by their own statements and actions. The idea they are leveraging tech companies for this purpose is ludicrous.

If this could be scaled up then I wonder what would happen to worldwide wealth. It's amusing that the biggest, I assume, store of gold, Switzerland, would have the tool to make it hypothetically worthless. The stuff of sci-fi novels.
