It proves that at least some of the bugs exist, not that you need “new thing” to find them or that they even used “new thing” to find them.

There was a story the other day about others finding the same bugs with qwen.

No they complain about ipv4 because they’re worried about layers of cgnat introducing latency which for gaming is bad.

Xbox live has had it for years because ipv6 means no nat and lower latency. It’s been there since at least the 360.

I don’t know why you’re downvoting, it’s a fair question based on the above comments.

Wait what, they took donations to pay a team to build a mail client and had them build an AI thing instead? Or have I got that wrong.

AI is certainly getting a lot of milage as an excuse for doing bad things.

Wanna sack a load of staff? - AI

Wanna cut your consumer products division? - AI

Wanna take away the source? - AI

Getting the requirements right was always the hard part. Hence agile.

Then don't use it in those environments. Agile is not a silver bullet, nothing is.

Yeah, astonishingly wrong in just about every way (except race). If anything, I think I'm less worried than before.

Phone snatching has been a problem, but it seems like the police have got on top of it of late.

> Flight from London is happening.

That’s more to do with cost of living. Rents and house prices are insane.

I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve never seen any knife crime.

It’s all got a bit ridiculous. You can seemingly lie as much as you like on video sharing sites with zero comeback.

The zero copy that zero copied unencrypted blocks onto encrypted file systems was genius. It’s almost like they don’t test.

If you can’t buy a fast one, then it’s slow.

It might not be slow forever, but it’s slow now. I’d love to see an open ISA that is fast. But I don’t understand why the industry decided to start over with RISC-V when the compilers and toolchains and chips already existed in power land.

Seems fair, as long as they also DMCA all the infringing code people have used Claude to generate.
