“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C
Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.
There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy
I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.
The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.
It doesn’t surprise me that Apple pulled out of the OpenAI investment. They’ve been trying to polish these new features and finding that they’re built on sand.
Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I’m almost certain that it’s After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.
You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s
If it was plausible this would be bigger news. There’s a claim like this every couple of months and none have held up to scrutiny so far.

This is an interesting article and yet you’ve chosen to quote the most speculative unscientific part of it from the final paragraph.
“Have you tried going outside” is not a scientific cure for depression.
Note to readers: Don’t install python dependencies for random python projects of unknown provenance. PyPI is regularly being used as a vector for distributing malware. See recent news stories here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tag/pypi/
You should manually check every package listed in requirements.txt and verify that it is a trustworthy python library.
Sorry but your satire isn’t funny enough for me to continue reading when the page gets gradually darker as I scroll down so that it can show me a popup asking me to subscribe to your newsletter or whatever the fuck.
I know my real age, I have a birth certificate.
This is huge news. Great work to the contributors involved in making this happen.

So the training environment was not Touhou? So what does the training environment look like? I’d be interested to see that, and how it improved over time.
Taking a diagonal shortcut means that you understand a + b > c. That’s a far leap from being able to prove that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
the Pythagorean theorem is a purely intuitive thing everyone does regularly.
Excuse me, what?
I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:
“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”
