In December 2024, the BBC carried out research into the accuracy of four prominent AI assistants that can search the internet – OpenAI’s ChatGPT; Microsoft’s Copilot; Google’s Gemini; and Perplexity. We did this by reviewing responses from the AI assistants to 100 questions about the news, asking AI assistants to use BBC News sources where possible.

The answers produced by the AI assistants contained significant inaccuracies and distorted content from the BBC. In particular: …

51 % significant issues, 19 % factual errors, 13 % altered or invalid quote citations

The article isn't very concrete on what the substance of this Anyway System is.

The FAQ answered my question though, and it seems mostly about dynamic management of PCs as execution nodes.

I assume that means I could run the model on one of those PCs as well, despite the article claiming you can use as few as four PCs? Or does this system somehow distribute a single model prompt process into multiple execution pipelines?

Did you remove your earlier post from two or three days ago? https://programming.dev/post/43579392

I posted a comment there, but looks like what I was asking about is no longer part of the post or repo readme this time around.

While trying to determine whether this is that I noticed you wrote “566 pages of theory” but then 573-page manuscript. I assume it became more pages, or are they different things?

Without understanding how it’s built, how do I know if there’s duplication, dead code, or poor patterns? I used to obsess over this. Now I’m less worried that a human needs to read the code, because I’m genuinely not sure that they do.

What you do need: simple entry points, explicit code with fewer abstractions, minimal coupling, and linear control flow.

Seems to be the common simple standard software works well fallacy.

By “can replace developers”, what do they mean? They don't clarify, only talk about their three success projects.

We've seen studies of the issues and risks, and discrepancy between user perception and more factual gains. And this post certainly seems like they're not experienced in or thinking of development and maintenance that goes beyond simple standard integration software. Which doesn't make it too surprising they're not concerned about security for those simpler projects either.

A comment late in the thread says none of the LLMs even use the PR-suggested llms.txt.

I've been using GNU Cash for many years.

The UI is kinda bad, way too complex, and the banking API integration is cumbersome and lacking.

That's all negatives, and it sounds pretty bad, but it's still my banking app.

Modern websites no longer fit the document-centric model HTML was created for. A typical news homepage mixes headlines, images, teasers, and interactive elements in ways the original spec never anticipated. The New York Times even present teasers without headlines at all. This diversity shows how little shared foundation there is for developers today – and why HTML needs a broader, more coordinated evolution beyond isolated improvements.

Aren't such cases already covered? I don't see the issue or alternative.

🎨 Theming dark-mode compatible

😵 quite the white border it has there

scrolling is also quite limited to only the content area

if the software developer had experience with AI

Did these developers not have experience with AI?

and were to start on a new project, without any existing context

I'm not sure focusing on one aspect to scope a reasonable and doable study automatically makes it “really low effort”.

If they were to test a range of project types, it'd have to be a much bigger study.

Before starting tasks, developers forecast that allowing AI will reduce completion time by 24%. After completing the study, developers estimate that allowing AI reduced completion time by 20%. Surprisingly, we find that allowing AI actually increases completion time by 19%--AI tooling slowed developers down.

The gap and miss is insane.

 

Users are not allowed to create Issues directly in this repository - we ask that you create a Discussion first.

Unlike some other projects, Ghostty does not use the issue tracker for discussion or feature requests. Instead, we use GitHub discussions for that. Once a discussion reaches a point where a well-understood, actionable item is identified, it is moved to the issue tracker. This pattern makes it easier for maintainers or contributors to find issues to work on since every issue is ready to be worked on.

This approach is based on years of experience maintaining open source projects and observing that 80-90% of what users think are bugs are either misunderstandings, environmental problems, or configuration errors by the users themselves. For what's left, the majority are often feature requests (unimplemented features) and not bugs (malfunctioning features). Of the features requests, almost all are underspecified and require more guidance by a maintainer to be worked on.

Any Discussion which clearly identifies a problem in Ghostty and can be confirmed or reproduced will be converted to an Issue by a maintainer, so as a user finding a valid problem you don't do any extra work anyway. Thank you.

 

On January 1, 2026, GitHub will reduce the price of GitHub-hosted runners by up to 39% depending on the machine type used. The free usage minute quotas will remain the same.

On March 1, 2026, GitHub will introduce a new $0.002 per minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage. Any usage subject to this charge will count toward the minutes included in your plan, as explained in our GitHub Actions billing documentation.

Runner usage in public repositories will remain free. There will be no changes in price structure for GitHub Enterprise Server customers.

We are increasing our investment into our self-hosted experience to ensure that we can provide autoscaling for scenarios beyond just Linux containers.

Historically, self-hosted runner customers were able to leverage much of GitHub Actions’ infrastructure and services at no cost.

 

This talk focuses on that evil little term “UX/UI,” which is responsible for so much confusion and tension in open-source projects. Not only does it unnecessarily pit programmers against designers, but it also limits our vision of what we could be doing.

In this talk, Scott Jenson gives examples of how focusing on UX -- instead of UI -- frees us to think bigger. This is especially true for the desktop, where the user experience has so much potential to grow well beyond its current interaction models. The desktop UX is certainly not dead, and this talk suggests some future directions we could take.

Scott Jenson has been a leader in UX design and strategic planning for over 35 years. He was the first member of Apple’s Human Interface group in the late '80s, and has since held key roles at several major tech companies. He served as Director of Product Design for Symbian in London, managed Mobile UX design at Google, and was Creative Director at frog design in San Francisco. He returned to Google to do UX research for Android and is now a UX strategist in the open-source community for Mastodon and Home Assistant.

They present a bit of history, terminology, and current and alternative approaches to human interfaces.

 

about the new and interesting changes and additions in .NET networking space. This time, we are writing about HTTP improvements, new web sockets APIs, security changes and many distinct additions in networking primitives.

 

It is with great pleasure that we announce the new Jenkins Bug Bounty Program! The European Commission (EC OSPO) has partnered with YesWeHack to launch bug bounty programs for several open source projects. The Jenkins project was selected as a valuable asset for public administration across the European Union.

  • Initial scope: Jenkins Core and its main components, and four plugins related to security
  • Reward: Up to €5,000 for valid critical findings!
  • Platform: Jenkins Bug Bounty Program on YesWeHack
  • Funding: European Commission
 

Let’s walk through why that history powers Visual Studio and why changing a shortcut like Ctrl+W is such a challenge.

This is about them changing keyboard shortcuts [defaults], not the user changing their keyboard shortcuts.

This walked you through the process we followed to map Ctrl+W to close the current tab in Visual Studio 2026. For C# profile users, we held off on this change to avoid disrupting existing workflows, especially given potential conflicts with sequenced shortcuts. If you’re using the C# profile and want Ctrl+W to close tabs, you can easily set it up yourself in the keybinding settings.

 

AI models have a knowledge cutoff and do not have access to your personal or company data by default.

While context engineering is a broader topic, this post will focus on enabling access to high-quality data through data ingestion pipelines.

… we’re excited to announce the preview release of data ingestion building blocks for .NET.

… how these building blocks empower the .NET ecosystem to build composable data ingestion pipelines for their AI applications.

 

Over the past week, we've identified and tracked an unprecedented 23 extensions which copy other popular extensions, update after publishing with malware, manipulate download counts, and use KNOWN attack signatures which have been in use for months. Many of these relate to Glassworm malware, but there could be mulitple campaigns at work also.

 

When Zork arrived, it didn’t just ask players to win; it asked them to imagine. There were no graphics, no joystick, and no soundtrack, only words on a screen and the player’s curiosity. Yet those words built worlds more vivid than most games of their time. What made that possible wasn’t just clever writing, it was clever engineering.

Beneath that world of words was something quietly revolutionary: the Z-Machine, a custom-built engine. Z-Machine is a specification of a virtual machine, and now there are many Z-Machine interpreters that we used today that are software implementations of that VM. …
