bEA 🔓The only thing more insecure and dangerous than C code written by developers is absolutely anything written by security professionals.

@carnage4life yeah and if they just wait a few years, they'll be able to charge OpenAI billions for the privilege too
@thatprivacyguy I presume the same would apply to newspaper websites that detect ad blocking?
@Dhmspector were you able to tell whether it was a real api key or one that was hallucinated?

@ncweaver @[email protected] so let's just wish that law comes to pass then
@[email protected] @ncweaver if you think most C/C++ programmers are working in a vacuum and deciding personally what language to use, I have news for you
@[email protected] @ncweaver as I said I am interested in using Rust. But in large organizations, you cannot just make your own decision.
This is why I am saying that marketing the alternative is more important than saying "don't do X"
@ncweaver @[email protected] I like Go! But you still have domains where the pauses are not acceptable.
I don't find this example of 24 threads meaningful at all. Using the CPU doesn't tell us much of anything regarding the efficiency of the program, only that you don't have threads waiting and doing nothing. If you spend even 1.1x cycles doing the same work, that's not minor.
We need some consensus and marketing behind a good replacement for c/c++, in the domains where they aren't easily replaced.
@ncweaver @[email protected] I think most C++ programmers are actually very open to something like Rust/Zig. But generally the alternative given is something like Java (or slower), which in many domains is not fast enough or has unacceptable/unpredictable pauses.
We are wasting enormous amounts of human time (and CO2) on embarrassingly bloated and slow tech stacks. Or we are dealing in very unsafe languages like c/c++. We really need a sensible fast and safe option to gain ground.
