a lot of people dont realise the MS military is still using claude, the only good, clean models are the open source, open weight ones

US military reportedly used Claude in Iran strikes despite Trump’s ban

Trump calls Anthropic a ‘Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about’

@mgaudet Qn: I'd like to apply but I don't live in Canada, is this job limited to NA only?

Thinking about programmers losing their coding skills because of their reliance on AI tools made me wonder if there was some other industry where heavy automation led to concerns over loss of skills. And yes, there is: airplane pilots.

They train manual flight maneuvers regularly to preserve pilot skills, because when the automation fails is precisely when you need a skilled operator.

Check out VRHI, a great Vulkan RHI inspired by bgfx, based off NvRHI built by an ex-Khronos member

@zeux I was interested enough to go look it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Breault

A look at how I used shape vectors to achieve sharp, high-quality ASCII rendering.

@pervognsen Got it, I think I overreacted at the original tweet. quote "It's way more respectable not to care about memory safety at all, e.g. most gamedevs."

more like, being realistic/pragmatic rather than following dogma/religion

@pervognsen Just putting things in perspective, Google paid out $11.8 mil in 2024 due to people finding exploits in various software, e.g. Android, Chrome etc

and as an industry we just kind of write it off and think, meh, is a bit weird to me.

@pervognsen I hate the C++ consultants, but I think memory safety's still important(not in the c++ consultant way, to be clear), considering you can get arbitrary code execution exploited from playing the older CoD multiplayers(I think due to a buffer overrun). I really think the default of leaving software security always on the onus of the programmer not f**king up is an insane default
