Those "271 zero days" in Firefox turned into 3 in in the patch-notes and only one was "high" severity. There is a lot of lying in the LLM field.

Well, an LTS kernel only lives so long and that is a problem. Maybe they should so a sort-of extreme LTS that gets security patches for 20 years and then drop all the old drivers from newer kernels.

On the contrary, evidence seems to suggest that AI has long been very good at generating zero-day vulnerabilities. It has a little more trouble with identifying and avoiding them.

Thanks for delivering evidence for my claim. Also thanks for demonstrating the LLM cult members have no reasoning capability left.

As an added information, because you do not seem to habe noticed, Slashdot does not support UTF8. You probably do not understand what that means though.

You are overlooking what is used in the industrial field.

Indeed. My firewall / fileserver is on an 18 year old Phenom II 4-core with 32GB RAM and there is no need to replace it. The only thing that broke about 8 years ago was the PSU. Replaced that and it is good fore the foreseeable future.

Then you do not understand how long some industrial equipment runs. "Older kernel" is only a solution if it gets maintenance. You do want that MRI machine taking your pictures to run on a maintained kernel, do you?

Indeed. I had one and I was quite satisfied with it. No idea why they feel the need to portray it as a near-failure.

The Windows fanbois are not rational.

Are still idiots. LLMs do not change that.

There are no good code metrics. There cannot be. The only thing that works to some degree is "expert opinion".

Obviously. But to see that, the C-levels would need actual insight. Nobody with actual insight makes it to that level.

Probably. Will this work? Unlikely. But we need some poster cases of AI failing to keep somebody large alive and Meta is really no loss.

CI without local, not automatically updated repositories is pure insanity. These people are asking to get hacked via supply-chain attack. Looks like a lot of software creation is still done "cheaper than possible".

Let them freak out. It is not your problems that they use unsound practices and (mentally) lazy approaches.

Actually, the "new math" was quite useful to me. Some set theory and logic early on was very useful later in studying CS. But I am likely not very typical.
