Antithesis's fuzzer ascends NetHack in a median under two minutes and finds that typing ;|: pins a CPU core at 100%

@ChrisPirillo Maybe they should try on the current version of NetHack.
Guarani Kaiowá Indigenous people claim to have received spoiled food in food baskets distributed by the Mato Grosso do Sul state government in the Pirajuí Indigenous Territory, in the municipality of Paranhos.
“People can’t eat it; it’s only good for the dogs and chickens. This is inhumane,” said an indigenous leader.
The communities produce rice, cassava, corn, beans, and other foods, but the size of the area—about 2,000 hectares—is insufficient to ensure food security for 2,400 indigenous people.
Shortly after the second round of the presidential election, Indigenous people in Mato Grosso do Sul reported incidents of being run over by vehicles, threats to poison their water, and the burning down of a home belonging to a 90-year-old leader.

Everyone hates AI, but do you even know how a coding agent actually works? It's hilarious:
LLMs mess up indentation, constantly mix tabs and spaces, get line endings wrong, hallucinate diff line numbers and produce completely broken patches. So the harness throws increasingly desperate fuzzy matching at the problem and blindly tries to apply whatever sticks.
This is software engineering now. Apparently.
@fribbledom
First, the premise isn't factually right. Not *everyone* hates AI.
Second, you got to change the LLMs and harness, or at least manage context and instruction.
Vibe Coding ≠ Spec-Driven Development ≠ AI-assisted coding
#Israel needs a permanent state of war to ensure its egemony on the Middle East.
And #Netanayhu needs a permanent state of war in order to stay in power and out of jail.
Neither of them has any legitimacy to exist without war.
"But think about the artists!" is a favorite refrain of so-called "intellectual property" enthusiasts (aka corporations.) Hear from one #DefectiveByDesign (DBD) guest writer and musician about how #DRM totally cramped his style: https://u.fsf.org/1rx #EndDRM #Music

Introducing FediDB Software Comparison, Lemmy vs Mbin vs Piefed
We shipped a pretty cool feature to FediDB that allows anyone to edit and answer questions about software projects, like a wiki, and use that data to power a new software comparison feature.
some people seemingly believe in some sort of fairytale logic where if someone has bad morals it also means they have bad taste and like bad things.
listen, bad people like good art, and more than that, bad people make art that you may sometimes enjoy before realising who made it. pretending otherwise makes you out of touch with reality, but also, you're genuinely helping that person repair their image.
🧵
The argument that all coding agents need is the right deterministic constraints - enforced by compilers, type checkers, unit tests, provers etc - to replace the need for judgement built on experience forgets one very salient fact:
We've had those things for decades, and they didn't.

I feel sad when I see the transportation secretary. He's so clearly in over his head and isn't even wise enough to realize it.
As a TV star he knows how to be on time, smile for the cameras and look ready to go but that is about it.
He tried to do a little reality TV show when he started ... since that's what he knows. It's really tragic. Like watching a man charged with carving a marble statue go at the stone with plastic spoon.
I guess that's what people do when they are overwhelmed?
The president repairs a golf course, gets lost in the details of building. That's what he knows how to do.
The transportation secretary does TV appearances and makes a show. That's what he knows.
Men in over their heads.
@jwz what a doofus.
@europlus Doofus is getting paid. And he is not getting paid enough to question his marching orders. The actual doofus is Capitalism.

Call for Mbin contributors
Call for Mbin contributors
Crossposted from https://fedia.io/m/updates@kbin.melroy.org/t/4475005
As you all might know it, Mbin is a rather small project with a small team. In fact the current size of the team is 1.5 developers (0.5 for the ones which only have partially time). While our active devs do what they can in their free time, this leads to slow feature and security updates, sometimes slow support and increasing stress for the remaining devs.
That's why I ask everyone who likes this project, has time of their own to donate and knows how to program with PHP (or is willing to learn it) to consider helping this project move forward.
You can start with simpler features and submit them as PRs or even just help review existing PRs if full commitment to maintaining the codebase is currently too much. We are aware that parts of our codebase contains more spagett than some Italian restaurants, but we will help every newcomer to find their way through the sources.
Every bit of support helps, as it also shows that we have a passionate userbase which does not want Mbin to wither away.Well ... as I'm not very good at writing motivational texts, just comment anything which comes to mind for this issue 😁 If you have ideas how to improve the chances that this post reach the right people, I would also love to hear it.
At the same time I want to bring up another topic, as transparency is important for any public project.
Some of our devs use AI assistants for generating code for PRs and also to assist with PR reviews. Simply because without it, they would not have time to continue contributing to Mbin (which would bring our devs down to 1, making it impossible to merge new PRs). On thing here is important to know: I will not call it slop nor vibe-coding, as they are a competent developer capable of understanding and managing the outputs of the agents. Still, I am very aware of the issues of AI and the general opinion on it in the Fediverse. That is why I would like to know your constructive opinions on this matter.
Also, I guarantee you that every PR is reviewed by at least one human pair of eyes.
@TheBreadmonkey we'll still have little pot-bellied pigs floating around as space pets though, right?
