  • We Asked 100+ AI Models to Write Code. The Results: AI-generated Code That Works, But Isn’t Safe

  • Yes, i find it difficult to believe that they mess up a dozen line algo that is in their training set in a prominant place with no complicating factors. Despite what a lot of people here think, LLMs do have value for coding. Even if the companies selling them make ridiculous claims about what they can do.

  • GOG NSFW Giveaway

    Jump

  • Presumably the devs have to agree to it. I dont think gog cn just decide "were going to give away this game we dont own for free"

  • Russia to spend $1.1 trillion preparing for 'upcoming large-scale war,' Ukraine's intel chief says

    Jump

  • I mean, they already are, just for recruitment to the army rather than factories. There's plenty of stories of people being rounded up by police, put on trumped up charges and being given the option of jail and abuse there or signing up to go to the front line.

  • GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship

    Jump

  • Thats pretty funny given the current "save the children" censorship in the uk that is going on.

  • I find that very difficult to believe. If for no other reason that there is an implementation in the wiki page for Levenshtein distance (and wiki is known to be very prominant in the training sets used for foundational models), and that trying it just now and it gave a perfectly functional implementation.

  • ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results

    Jump

  • Yep, and when you click a button that liteally says "make this discoverable on search engines" which is off by defualt, its the later.

  • Everything the right - and the left – are getting wrong about the Online Safety Act

    Jump

  • I wouldnt be so confident in that. The wikimedia foundation are already in legal proceedings arguing against the act being drawn so widely that they would be included with the likes of instagram and twitter as a large scale social media company just due to their talk pages.

  • 4.2% pay rise for police officers across England and Wales

    Jump

  • Eh, public services have been getting pay increases across the board to make up for the ridiculous tory freezes on wages for a decade. for example, just two months ago there was a 4% increase for teachers and doctors in england, is that also Keir bribing teachers to get them on side?

  • Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery

    Jump

  • It would be nice to see a price/GWh of this (along with running costs, it says they save 1 Million per GWh, how much were the running costs before!?), but any improvement in battery tech is definitely a good thing.

  • American vehicles are huge. Now Trump is pressuring Europe and Asia to allow the U.S. to export cars that don't meet local safety standards

    Jump

  • "AI helped me make this graph" Could just mean they got AI to write some matplotlib to plot real data. Though it is pretty slapdash to just state that with no further explaination.

  • Russia to spend $1.1 trillion preparing for 'upcoming large-scale war,' Ukraine's intel chief says

    Jump

  • How long they can do it for is a significant open question, the Russian economy is already showing serious warning signs and most of the forcasts that I've seen show 2026 as the year where things start to become very bad for them. It's not an all or nothing thing either, its not that it is about to implode and all of a sudden Russia cant do anything, but that the economy degrades to the point where it becomes difficult for them to maintain funnelling sufficient resources into their invasion.

  • Russia to spend $1.1 trillion preparing for 'upcoming large-scale war,' Ukraine's intel chief says

    Jump

  • Russia has an "official" central bank interest rate of 20% with parts of the real economy seizing up due to the country's resources being funneled into creating vehicles that last for a few months before being blown up in their invasion.

    Large countries have a lot of levers they can pull to keep their economies going when they really need to, but they are damaging in the long run and get more damaging the longer they rely on them. Russia doesnt have some magical property of being extra resilient based on slavic tolerance of suffering.

  • This how the Governor of Oregon wants to finance her transportation plan

  • I disagree, the climate isnt affected less if a poorer person emits a kilo of co2 than if musk does. It is regressive but it is essential to motivate people to move away from fossil fuels. The solution is to make up for it progressive measures elsewhere (e.g. tilting income and capital taxes to have a heavier burden on the rich).
