My first thought is, does this mean that along with the burnout I'm feeling with talking to my own agents I now need to try and consume and understand my teammates conversations with agents? Why is this better than a good pr description that distills completed work and explains why it was required ?

Yes, but compared to seeing 3k lines of code in a PR with no history with vibes in the description, what is better? This definitely "feels" like something worth exploring.

And end up with 3k lines of code + conversation history?

Software Engineers avoid coding more than any other type of people I have ever met. It's clearly not better but much easier for the Engineers who just want the results without knowing anything about the solution.

At least traditionally, software engineers avoided everything except coding for a long time, but now i guess that's changed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

Their software is so poor that it caused probably the biggest miscarriage of justice in history. Well that and Fujitsu staff colluding with post office executives to put innocent people in prison rather than admit there was a problem


The 'Fujitsu' that made the shitty software was a British consulting company that was acquired by Fujitsu [1] to farm public contracts. This is made by the Japanese parent company.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Computers_Limite...


It's seriously underselling ICL to call it a consulting company, though by the time of the Fujitsu acquisition that might be accurate.

Not trying to be obnoxious, but it's still Fujitsu.

In a very specific legal sense, it isn't, we are talking about two entirely separate legal entities (and ultimately groups of people) which have a relation of ownership, not directorship.

It is ultimately Fujitsu responsibility.

You're right, but the scandal is so upsetting that I personally cannot ever look at Fujitsu the same way even. Also, I think you're neglecting that a large part of why it became so bad was that Fujitsu claimed there was no issue with their software. Even if it were built by a company they acquired, the response to the developing situation was something that the parent company should have stepped in to oversee.

I'm surprised at the downvotes for this, does anyone think I'm misrepresenting the facts? I genuinely don't think I am.

I wouldn't trust that this CPU can do maths properly.

Does mister work with kv260 boards "out of the box" or is the official mister target a de10 nano? (I love my mister, assembled oneba few years ago). I don't follow the project closely due to zero free time these days

You have to base your build around either the DE10-Nano or one of the clone boards from QMTech. If I were getting into MiSTer I would skip faffing around with dev board builds and just get a SuperStation One, and I say this as someone who has two MiSTer builds based on DE-10 boards. In my case I'm using a MiniITX motherboard that the DE-10 plugs into called the IronClad Plus. The SuperStation one is apparently awesome. Great IO options, reference quality analog video, and nice industrial design.

The latter. Official MiSTer targets the DE10 nano.

I can't find the quote in the article (and for anyone wondering which song "shook ones", which is an amazing track).

Heading: "OAI-HF Incident"

First sentence: "This incident has Dario shook, there ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks."


Thanks. First time searching with my browser return no hits for shook no idea why

Part 2 is most known, but Part one is a banger too

They will not get as safe as cars. They are inherently dangerous, it's like taking a car and removing every safety feature. Removing doors, windows and belts. There's a reason that there is a legal requirement in many countries to wear a helmet.

I spent some time in Vietnam back in 2005, after getting a few lifts on the the back of mopeds in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, I decided to look up some road traffic accident stats for those cities: I never took another lift like that again.


And northern Ireland

Please no. Africa has suffered enough.

And why is it on hacker news.


Reminds me of trying to download printer drivers or manual from Epson.

Actually motherboard manufacturers are just as bad.

Some god awful user hostile interface. Never just a direct link.


I just had a horrifying flashback to the Creative Labs driver download page... some wizard-style abomination three levels deep, nothing just a simple link.

Still, the archive was complete and you'd end up getting what you went there for, so still infinitely better than the average experience today.


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.


It’s about to get so much worse before we get any kind of meaningful change for the better. Buckle up


Empty cynicism adds no value.


Why shouldn't open source get special treatment? Public laws should recognize and incentivize public goods.


If it's good that an OS isn't doing age verification, why are there even age verification laws?


Who gets to decide which operating systems have provided a public good? What criteria? I want the law to apply equally.


Me. If I develop an OS and release it for free public use, I've provided a public good.


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.
