Mechanical code review by something like sonar qube is much cheaper. Use that for low bar quality gate and AI after.
AI code review is startlingly effective. Continually finding things me and my colleagues never would. Well the decent models do. Maybe not so much the cheap ones.
My gut reaction to this is that there is something seriously wrong if special clauses are required. Why should open source get special treatment, to me that just highlights that the law is utterly ridiculous.
Technically opensource stays the same. The special treatment is for closed source OSes that get an additional legal protection for their datamining. We should not be passing laws that legalize the datamining of people.
One of the problems with the original law is that it failed to distinguish between open source projects and closed source products. If anything this amendment should make the law less objectionable, not more.
I've been really struggling to get AI to write good quality c# code, or to be precise, what I see as good quality.
I'm in two minds on if it matters or not.
On one hand I think, I want to be proud of it, I want to be able to explain it, if it breaks I want to be able to figure out why.
On the other hand, AI can do all of that with badly written code, so who cares.
Edit: however, it still feels like an amazing power tool, but it has taken me months to figure out how to use it.
I have the opposite experience of everyone else I follow online, I find it terrible at green field and great at brownfield. Green field it makes horrible choices as it has nothing to follow.
I'm in no way a very good programmer, or very smart, but the code I saw most of my co-workers writing was about the same quality as AI, not very good.
I mean, you don't have to update if you think that's the most likely vector (I don't disagree, at least for managers that have no online components, not even an update check). I'd recommend reading the changelogs though to see if they upgraded encryption parameters or did other fixes that you should want. You could wait a while applying them, and/or spot check if the diff makes sense
Unless you want sync or other online functionality, you're almost certainly better off with an ancient version of some trusted password manager than with a custom implementation. And if you do, I'd still not necessarily recommend it, but then imo it depends on your experience/knowledge level (regardless of whether you use an LLM)
I've never heard of the one you mention so I can't say anything positive or negative about it. The page looks ancient enough that I... not immediately trust it blindly, but it speaks for it. They either care about stability (not jumping on the latest fashion trends) ...or it's abandoned and the last release might or might not be flawless :p
Nothing in particular. In my head all that needs to happen is some form of update (dependency, core project or the Android version on my phone) and sneaks in something that reads the unencrypted file and sends it over the internet somewhere.
I wish android and windows had flat seal, as far as I can remember that can prevent all network access for a given app.
The quality of the posts in Reddit grew worse and worse. To the point that I stopped visiting it frequently and my use of hacker news grew and grew. Exactly the same thing is happening to hacker news. I guess as it's reverting to the mean.
There's still reasonable civil debate here. But recently I was surprised to be called a fascist for pointing out the Nazis were national socialists. The poster included comments like "don't engage with this person he's obviously x y and z." I'm starting to see this kind of nonsense more and more on hacker news.
I haven't played Cyberpunk, I loved the original Deus ex. I think cyberpunk would probably too much for me to try and play these days, due to no free time. Is it open world, so unlike Deus ex single contained levels?
