Intent is hard to prove if it is not published.

Yup, Windows Azure App Service is just IIS.

> When it comes to the big AI players feeding their future models I 100% just assume that they suck up any data we send them. Am I cynical?

There is a reason enterprise contracts and plans exist. And I think even on that account we're going to find out at some point that LLMs are training on that extremely useful data.

What I fail to understand: Who or how are these AI generated pull requests paid for? There is nothing to gain financially by creating all these AI generated pull requests - yet the increasingly more expensive tokens have to be paid for somehow. How is it paid for? Or are these authors using all their free GPT5.4-mini tokens from Github until hitting the rate limit, day after day? Or are they running some local AI model on their GPU like Qwen and heating the room in they work in, day after day?

How is the stability? A few years ago I could barely run The Great Green Mouse Hotel because of emulation flaws causing the CPU to do weird things and either crash apps or the Windows 98 itself, or the emulator.

That is possible, but if swapping happens due to memory pressure it can still cause slowdowns in unrelated parts of the same or other processes.

If Bambu Lab goes after Orcaslicer, then it makes sense they will get scrutinised for the AGPL violation.

> P.S. You should play a lottery/powerball ticket

Actually, they should not. That collision and winning the lottery would be even rarer.

Well it would be statistically even rarer for that UUID collision to happen and the earth to be destroyed by an asteroid.

What is the difference between this and using normal OCR and then running that output through a LLM? It seems such a bazooka way to kill a fly to me using a modelime Qwen.

Yes it is very good cinematic. Unfortunately it is far from the truth.

> Even with all the simulators and months of rigorous testing, sending up something that can (in the worst case) break the probe has to be terrifying.

I would guess that even that case is partially accounted for by a watchdog that is hardwired into the system.

It was also quite embarrassing to ship a real CPU with broken floating point math.

They are quite expensive and there is not something similar on the market (even not from house brands of Aldi, Lidl, etc).

Ouch, reminds me of hours debugging OAuth2 implementation in my Surface 1 app for Twitter because the nonce or some other checksum was not calculated correctly.
