The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.

It went from “We promise to never sell your data” to “Firefox is secure!” Just as they were adding AI.

Yes, I know about that one. That is code made specifically to reproduce a bug in the compiler. Unless you do it on purpose, there’s no way you’d get hit by it. If it were, they would have fixed it, it’s been known for several years.

I would love to see a study about people that follow C++ best practices. Put a bunch of C++ devs and tell them to write some programs. Then see how many of those programs would be valid according to rust’s borrow checker.

Whatever % of people that “fail” this test, is much higher than the 0% of people that would do so using rusts’ compiler.

Of course, programs that don’t pass the borrow checker can be totally memory safe, but that would need to be analyzed on a case by case basis.

I’ve only seen it once. And it was made specifically to trigger a compiler bug. It barely looked like rust code.

Now tell me how someone will introduce such a bug by accident. Winning the lottery 10000 times in a row with the same number isn’t impossible either. But we are engineers, not pure math pedantics. 0.000000000000001% probability for something that happens with less frequency than once per second is impossible.

Easy. Do some specific incantation that barely looks like it follows rust syntax that is specifically made to exploit a bug in the rust compiler.

This comment was surprisingly easy to read. Definitely easier than if it were for the “th” sound

The problem with that is that reviewing takes time. Valuable maintainer time.

Curl faced this issue. Hundreds of AI slop “security vulnerabilities” were submitted to curl. Since they are security vulnerabilities, they can’t just ignore them, they had to read every one of them, only to find out they weren’t real. Wasting a bunch of time.

Most of the slop was basically people typing into chatgpt “find me a security vulnerability of a project that has a bounty for finding one” and just copy-pasting whatever it said in a bug report.

With simple MRs at least you can just ignore the AI ones an priorize the human ones if you don’t have enough time. But that will just lead to AI slop not being marked as such in order to skip the low-prio AI queue.

I hope they are prepare for the AI slop DDoS. Curl wasn’t, and they didn’t even state they would welcome AI contributions.

Pokemon uranium is playable on PC, I don’t think it works in consoles. Played it long time ago so I don’t remember how good it is though.

I don’t know how easy it would be to find though since Nintendo shut it down.

The difference between treason and a revolution is which side wins at the end.

Just make sure you’re enough people doing it.

I don’t think anyone denies that whatever happens after you no longer pass your genes around has no evolutionary effect.

Whether helping your offspring is evolutionarily helpful or not might be debatable (I don’t see how it would not be helpful though)

Even in beings that not form societies it has an impact. Example:

You reproduce, then instantly die. Now your offspring have more available resources around them, since you no longer consume them

Or, your reproduce and you become much stronger, but not aggressive towards non-predators. Now predators are less likely to be near you, and your offspring are probably near you. Therefore, they probably benefit from having less predators around.

You can spend millions on building power lines over oceans and such. Or you could just spend that money on building your own power production. Might be more expensive (or not), but you get to control the production.

When 2 people that know a language want to talk shit about someone else that doesn’t know the language, the first thing they’ll do is speak that language.

It’s not an unreasonable fear at all.

Depending on context it might be stupid or make sense.

At my company, which has 100% Spanish employees, we can talk among ourselves in Spanish. However, in things “for the record” such as jira tickets, git commit messages, documentation pages, they have to be in English.

It makes no god damn sense. Nobody is going to read Jira ticket #6738 in 40 years when we are a multinational. It’s a ticket about fixing a typo in page 567 of the documentation. 100% of employees speak spanish, and some have dogshit English.

Sha256 is a hashing algorithm. Not a public/private key algorithm.

Swords had phrases written on them too. This has been happening since forever.

“in 20 years” doesn’t get as much hype as “in 3 months”

Maybe if they said “in 3 months” instead we would’ve actually have had it in 20 years. Seeing how much ai attracts money with these obviously unbelievable promises.

From the makers of “fusion energy in 20 years”, “full self driving next year” and “AI will take your job in 3 months” cones “all code will be AI in 6 months”.

Trust me, it’s for real this time. The new healthcare system is 2 weeks away.

EDIT: how could I forget “graphene is going to come out of the lab soon and we’ll have transparent flexible screens that consume 0 electricity” and “researches find new battery technology that has twice the capacity as lithium”

Historically speaking, that will just make the next leader give many powers to the military in order to “bring peace” so whatever happened to the last one doesn’t happen to him.

In these situations, governments treat things like “Whatsapp” or “telegram” as social media.

They don’t ban social media so tech corps don’t fuck their population. They ban social media so their population can’t organize against them.
