We have origin and/or "ingredient" labeling for most kinds of consumer products. It is an anomaly that software has not been required to have such disclosures. I think it's very reasonable to require AI use to be disclosed, as well as other information that may be relevant.
@mattworkman Forcing developers to write a political statement to be used against them by the hate mob they’re helping organize is abhorrent.

@cmuratori Regardless of one's opinion on AI, Isen't food different. Why you should list your dev environment and alike and what else should be submitted? dev process? number of people? ... the steel man of your arg is but IP and AI are still in TBD state and ethically it matters to me.

@Ashkan_GC @cmuratori It's not only food that has a label/disclosure indicating its origin. Lots of goods say "made in China/Sheffield/wherever" too, which some use to guide their buying decisions.
For famous/historical items that are sold, the origin (is this a forgery?) is important too.

I regret questioning the value of Swift’s checked arithmetic:
Several Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities Accidentally Posted To Public Kernel Mailing List
As high as CVSS 9.0. Whoops.

@toprakrun @migueldeicaza One of the security vulnerabilities was caused by using an integer that overflowed.
If an integer overflow occurs in Swift, it might crash the program due to an exception, but at least it won't let a hacker access your machine to steal sensitive info.

@toprakrun @migueldeicaza I think Miguel is arguing that, because of the better security, Swift's approach to checking for overflows might be a better chice than previously thought.

CPS3 cartridges with dead batteries cannot be restored. Capcom stopped supporting battery replacement and cartridge repair in 2018.

I am sorry to tell you that, yes, more than a few Japanese Arcades are using hacked BIOS to run CPS3 games.

@Lorekeeper_GGuy @bouch3ar55727 @NOTTHISWAYQQ @artur This is a legitimately interesting discussion. For most of Western history, plagiarism was the norm (even by famous people like Beethoven), and the idea of copyright is a relatively recent invention.
I don't know as much about Japanese history though.

@Lorekeeper_GGuy @bouch3ar55727 @NOTTHISWAYQQ @artur The doujin example makes them seem more lenient? I would be interested to see a history of copyright in Japan: did they have a similar idea before those in the west did or was the idea imported? What was its effect on Japanese culture when the idea was introduced?

yes, my students love retro tech
my office is filled w/retro tech & i've had random students walking by come in & spend hours talking to me about it
my systems class is based on a 16-bit simplified version of the 8086 w/a good visual debugger + a game<redacted>

@htmx_org Do you know if any of your students enjoy retro tech? I know that's a growing sentiment among youth. 😅

Cancer kills its host and dies with it.
A leveraged buyout makes the host finance its tumor, sells its organs and uses the proceeds to infect the next victim.
The corpses go into the pitch deck under “successful exits.”

@migueldeicaza Sad to see. I haven't played any BioWare games besides the Sonic RPG as a kid (I was mostly a handheld gamer) but I heard very good things about Mass Effect in the 2010s, and Dragon Age had its share of fans too.

@bizfactory_ceo @rfleury C compilers produce the same output for a given input, so are deterministic.
There can be a difference in the generated code if you use different optimisation settings, but those optimisations must adhere to the same semantics as the version of the program without optimisations.

@bizfactory_ceo @rfleury For example, if you write "int x = 3 + 3;", an optimising compiler can avoid the unnecessary addition because it knows the whole expression at compile time, leaving "int x = 6;". Same result, but an easier-to-compute path to get there.

Sometimes the healthtwit really goes PEAK DERP and you really think that it cannot be topped
But then a "Mark Berger, Bitcoin Consultant" comes along and proves you wrong

@helios_brah I have no problem with scientists defining what is "alive" for their purposes, but it was an everyday word before that, which existed in different languages for milennia.

@helios_brah It makes me feel iffy when I see the everyday meaning becoming identical with the scientific one, because the underlying philosophical questions about what "life" is haven't been solved, and I think that is pretty important!

@yukio_nakajima It must be hard for musicians like you, because most VSTs take a lot of RAM.
I know some like the SWAM violin (which don't use pre-recorded sound samples) take hardly any RAM but use a lot of CPU power. They are hard to use though.

@htmx_org I used to be bigger on gaming than I am today, but Nintendo's former presdient Satoru Iwata, during lackluster sales in the 3DS/Wii U era, opted to have his own salary cut in half rather than let employees take the fall, because it would hurt morale. I think that's admirable.
