<p>The MOS 6509 has bank switching hardware built into the CPU, instead of being on an external MMU chip such as the MOS 8722.<p>What makes the CBM-II's 6509 fundamentally different from the C128's 8502+8722 combo? And what makes either fundamentally different from the segmentation scheme of the 8086/8088?</p>

<p>> The 6502 can't actually address more than that.<p>Unless you use bank switching, which historically a lot of 6502 machines did use (e.g. Apple III/IIe/IIc, BBC Master 128, Commodore 128, Commodore CBM-II, etc)</p>

<p>> Developers work with certificates a bit too seldom to aquire proficiency with conversions. Being able to use PEM directly will ease a lot of pain.<p>While I certainly welcome this in the JDK, in practice it hasn't been a huge issue since a lot of people just use Bouncycastle to get that support.</p>

<p>In the Australian system, your employer has to pay 12% of your pay into a pension ("superannuation") fund of your choice. Taxpayers still pay for pensions for those whose individual pension accounts have run out – but, in coming decades, that taxpayer expenditure is projected to shrink. [0]<p>Maybe the US should look at copying it? Well, Trump has expressed interest in doing so. [1] But, Australia has had something like this since the 1990s, so even if the US adopted the Australian model tomorrow, it would take a few decades for it to really make an impact.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.thesenior.com.au/story/9346972/age-pension-spending-to-shrink-as-super-balances-surge/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesenior.com.au/story/9346972/age-pension-spend...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.ncpers.org/blog/what-trumps-interest-in-australias-superannuation-system-could-mean-for-retirement-plans" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncpers.org/blog/what-trumps-interest-in-australi...</a></p>

<p>I think there is a quantifiable measure-create a test dataset containing questions and human expert-written answers; give the questions to an AI to get corresponding AI-generated answers; then ask humans to guess which answer was human-written and which was AI-generated; now you can measure how much better than chance the humans perform at AI output detection, which gives you a quantifiable measure of the human-likeness of the AI responses.</p>

<p>Never seen that tool before, but it has an obvious bug: paste in markdown-formatted text with `-` bullet points, and it told me a sign of AI writing was: `Repeated sentence openers · 3 sentences opening “-”`<p>Now, the text I pasted in so happened to really be AI-generated, but I don't think using markdown bulleted lists is a reliable sign of AI-generation.</p>

<p>The next generation of models, it will be far less obvious what is AI-generated and what is human-written.<p>The vendors have an obvious motivation to make their writing less off-putting, and I don't think there is any hard architectural limit preventing them from doing so, it is just a matter of prioritising it and investing the necessary engineering resources.</p>

<p>> Anything isn't explicitly conditioned by external sources will be sampled from model's knowledge space,<p>If you are using multiple models – especially models from multiple vendors – then you aren't dealing with a single "model's knowledge space".</p>

<p>> In your code, this makes the model subtly devolve into certain patterns and stereotypes that aren't best practices, it's just a randomly frozen trajectory that is extremely hard to change zero-shot, without running a second pass.<p>But in practice, who uses models “zero-shot”? It is standard for coding agents to review their own code even before returning to the user — so a zero-shot agent invocation isn’t a zero-shot model invocation. And then many users will get a different run of the agent to review the change a(frequently even a different model being invoked by a different harness-e.g. I personally mix Claude, Copilot and Cursor)<p>> This is the reason everybody does the same thing.<p>If you have a human-in-the-loop reviewing the agent output, different humans will have different opinions on what the agent should have done instead, and they’ll tell the agent to redo its output in different ways. And then they tire of  repeating themselves, and it becomes guidelines in AGENTS.md.<p>Additionally, a coding agent asked to add a feature to a large code base will frequently check for the code base’s existing design and coding patterns, and so will end up producing very different code than it would have given a blank slate.</p>

<p>I think the simplest solution here may be to have a “brainstorm tool” which selects random words out of a dictionary (not using an LLM, using procedural code) and then ask the AI to “seek inspiration” from its output.</p>

<p>A lot of places already subscribe to both. Indeed, in large enterprises it isn’t uncommon to simultaneously subscribe to Copilot, Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, AWS Bedrock, Gemini, etc — you might subscribe to different ones for different teams/projects/employees/etc, but often the approval by legal/IT/etc is generic not scoped to whoever is using it right now<p>If you are charged based on usage, you can “soft switch” between them really quickly.</p>
