Maybe a bit more expensive than you thought?
It is high time to regard events such as this as gross management negligence and to start holding the screw-ups personally responsible. Otherwise things will just continue to get worse.
It is even worse: The training data they got in their massive criminal piracy campaign _ages_ and becomes less and less valuable. Nobody is coming out of this as a winner, except for some of the scammers pushing the hype.
Genuine, important progress is being made
Nope. But they are making a determined effort to manipulate people into thinking that.
Good luck with that. DCs of this type are far too specialized for that to happen.
That one is not a surprise: The efficiency gains claimed are entirely fictional. What LLM-type AI is doing is to destroy value. And hence no boom.
The analyses of the whole mess and why it is a mess are getting better. Hopefully the inevitable collapse and return to sanity (with a few major players rightfully dead and soon to be forgotten) is not too far ahead.
I do not think this mess can be fixed. When it gets this badly screwed up, the participants in the disaster do not have what it takes.
In any case an abject failure of a whole community. One that does not look like it can be fixed. The whole thing should be reclassified as "amateurs only" and any professional use made illegal.
Clownstroke has software management practices? Do you have any evidence for that?
They and many others. Obviously they get ignored and the same drastically stupid mistakes get made time and again.
There are good reasons to touch raw pointers in some cases. The actual thing is to be very careful when you do it and really understand what you are doing and what risks you are taking. Most "coders" cannot do that. And hence the mess we currently have. It is entirely a skill and education issue, not a language issue. It is also a management issue in that the wrong people get hired. Add normal engineering liability (like all _other_ engineering field have) and the problem will go away. But so will quite a few major players and hence that desperately needed step gets delayed and delayed.
I can add contracts manually. I have done so in some critical applications with excellent success. But most coders do not even know what a "contract" is.
You are mistaken. The problem is that that "top developer" does not mean "competent and careful developer that knows what they are doing" to most of the industry and even more so to MicroShit. It means "can produce code that works fast, does what the boss wants and who cares about safety and security".
Programmers are poorly trained about memory safety and dynamic resource allocation. In my opinion, languages like Rust exist to put ignorant programmers in straight jackets for their own good. Java tried to do the same thing with "managed" code. The real solution is to cultivate less ignorant programming programmers.
The problem with your comment is that the most destructive exploits were introduced by well trained programmers who knew what they're doing.
I disagree. This is just something you are hallucinating.
The real solution is to cultivate less ignorant programming programmers.
No, this is utopian solution. The real solution is to have programming tools that can allow average programmer to produce safe compiled code.
That will never work. It would require AGI and that is not even on the very distant horizon. In fact, there are good arguments that it may well be impossible to create. The reality is that bad coders (the vast majority) just screw up the program logic if they are prevented from making lower-level errors.
