"In other words, corporate leadership is starting from the premise that AI has (or will) radically change the business, and they're working backwards from that premise to find the evidence to support this article of faith."

Hello, it is me again (again (again)). I am just some British geek with a daft sense of humour. I'm here for news, memes, and cats. Mostly cats.

This is not my main account. I'm just a strange (not so) little explorer hanging out here from time to time.

I like #SciFi #Reading #Anime #code and a bunch of other stuff.

#Introduction

«Fehlanreize — GitHub Copilot generiert blockierte Schadcodes:
Eine Studie zeigt, dass GitHub Copilot blockierte, gefährliche Anfragen umsetzt, wenn diese in normale Programmierschritte aufgeteilt werden.»

Ich bin der Meinung, dies wird uns noch einige schwerwiegende Fehler geben die sicherlich auch ausgenutzt werden. Der Einsatz von KI sollte man (immer noch) nicht blind vertrauen.

«Ladybird-Browser stoppt öffentliche Code-Beiträge:
Wegen KI-generierter Beiträge schließt das Open-Source-Projekt Ladybird seine öffentlichen Pull-Requests, um die Sicherheit des Browsers zu garantieren.»

Da sehen wir wie KI das Gegenteil von sicherer Produktion ist, wenn es blind als unstrukturiertes Pull-Request eingesetzt wird.

Delegation mit Nebenwirkungen: Zunehmende Abhängigkeit von #KI-Werkzeugen führt nachweislich zu einem Abbau professioneller Fähigkeiten.

Eine Studie mit 52 Softwareentwicklern gelangte zum Ergebnis, dass der Einsatz von #AI-Tools zum signifikanten Kenntnisrückgang beim #Debugging führt, also bei genau jenen Fähigkeiten, die benötigt werden, um Fehler in KI-generiertem #Code überhaupt erst zu erkennen und zu korrigieren - und das ist essenziell für die #Cybersicherheit:

Just got 2k lines of #AI generated #code dumped in my #code by a coworker.

It needed a single computation added and the framework was already there. Mayyyybe 30 lines of code?

This project was already threatening to go off the rails with an extremely short horizon demo and zero architecture info from the non-#software "leads"

The only reason I haven't already walked is that this project replaces the (very solid, but aging and not-well-supported) version I'm maintaining.

Oh look, there's also a test script! From the AI! The AI that is designed to be convincing says that the AI that is designed to be convincing is a doing a great job!

Thank you again, for the steady development Vivaldi for the user and definitely not for some shady invasive corporate greed. 😉

#Code reviews seem to be the biggest bottleneck in software development right now.

Open source package ecosystems are victims of their own success. There's a long tail of iffy packages that nobody has reviewed, and nobody wants to.

For the top projects, maintenance is tough. Stakes are high. Reviews are hard. Contributions are meh quality (even before LLMs). It's not just code, but a people problem too. GitHub's primitive workflow wastes everyone's time.

Something's gonna break.

I wish PHP 9.0 had a feature called "Flag".

No more bitwise operators, just fluent flag declaration. I'll prefer that rather than adding numbers and then wondering what is "8 | 16".

«Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'
Projects like @godotengine are being swamped by contributors who may not even understand the code they're submitting.»

The AI will still create security issues in general. Open-source software suffers from this because they are automatically exploited via AI.

#28 No libraries, no canvas, only HTML elements.

There are many elements but because I was late with this prompt I already saw buttons and checkboxes, so I picked the slider and experimented.

And yes, I'm curious what I could do with sliders in the future - beside a slide puzzle. ;)

How Close Can a PWA Get to a Native App? Closer Than You Think

EDIT: this problem was fixed using trim() on the variable.

Need a little help with SQLITE3 and PHP.

When I use the following code:
$statement = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM programme WHERE progchanname = :progchanname');

$statement->bindValue(':progchanname', $channel);

$res = $statement->execute();

Nothing is returned.
But if I substitute the variable $channel with 'HGTV' I get results.

Why is the variable not being accepted?

Code is Poetry.
But this poem was written in 2005,
on a napkin,
in PHP 4,
and every line must still rhyme with Internet Explorer 6.

PHP people,

I'm trying to convert some python that I wrote many years ago to #PHP. The code takes a word (string) and converts it into IPA(International Phonetic Alphabet) based on an alphabet character=>IPA dictionary (array).

In Python every string is an array, but in PHP it's not.

How do I iterate over a string not just seeking for individual characters but also for groups of characters? For instance the word 'light' I'd want to seek for 'igh', which would be converted to 'aɪ'

TIA
