Nope. Take a look at gitea update frequency.

Running an up to date self hosted Gitea server takes like 5 minutes a week.

Why is this needed? As far as I recall, mouse works just fine in VMWare in all 3.x NT versions.

The point seems obvious: a trillion dollar company is able to buy a lot of opinion makers.

BTW, here we are: LOC metric everyone made fun of has suddenly became commit count metric.

Features? Bugfixes? What? Look how many commits we've got!

Such LLM defensive positions seems fun to me for some reason.

Well we're quite close with them as they're also highly intellectually developed mammals. There's a very good chance that intelligence develops in a same direction for all mammals (proof to this is how wekk we and dogs understand each other).

Since we are very evolutionary closely related to dogs, it makes sense to assume that our brains function in a similar way.

This is why dogs understand us so well. We are in many ways the same.

It's nowhere near "destroy a few buildings and EVERYTHING will be disabled" at the moment.

I can easily imagine, say, Russia destroying a few datacenters not with nuclear missiles, but with some relatively trivial local ground-based FPV attack or whatever.

And voila. No cargo moved, no code changes or fixes, no medical diagnosis made,etc. A whole country is disabled.

You're more than welcome to wake up in a country that is 100% dependent (in all spheres of life and economy!) on a few monopolies. I'm not sure that thing will be a country anymore.

BTW, when (not if, but when) a war happens, they will become very nice targets to render this exact country completely disabled.

It is even worse than feudalism. Their “utopia” doesn’t need an economy nor does it need a population. Feudalism indeed relied on its population and on its primitive economy.

Imagine a country where no one can drive, and all transportation relies on a few AI monopolies.

If you don’t pay them, you can walk by feet. If they ban you, you can walk by feet. If their infrastructure is damaged, no one and nothing will be able to move.

Undefined behavior is something that you will avoid - of course, only if you know the language pretty well.

I did not say that C is a low level language. You must have a very weak understanding on this topic.

Yes. If you understand C code well, you have a very good understanding of what will actually happen when the binary is executed.

To some mailing list and to some maintainers. As I recall it was also a separate report for tar. But it’s been 7 years already..

It happened over course of generations, while a huge lot of jobs were created in the cities and/or in the industrial centers (also mostly in cities). In the postindustrial stage, a lot of jobs were created in the service areas. Nothing like that is happening now at all. No jobs are created in any field whatsoever; they are only being destroyed.
