In fact that line in question does come from an IOCCC winner: https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/blob/master/1985/shapiro...

Presumably because Rust is more suitable than Go in agentic coding? (I'm not sure, but that seems the purported answer.)

It is actually hardcoded and also reachable by "play the block game": https://america.gov/_astro/block-game-poem.Khrmh8AU.js

The former also conveys that you are rude, which is not what you usually want.

I was about to immediately suggest UCS-X, and then pleased that the author offers a fair comparison to UCS-X and many other alternatives. Great. Too bad UCS-X is possibly more memorable name.

I recently had a misfortune to draw every country flag with a limited palette of shapes (axis-aligned rectangle and triangle, ellipses, {a/b} regular polygons) and operations (union, subtraction). [1] It is really annoying to be as faithful as possible; you have to deal with varying aspect ratios and under- or unspecified construction methods and colors, and at some point you have to decide how to modify the flag to fit the target resolution and aspect ratio without being too different. Also you would eventually have to face the flag of Bhutan [2]... (I haven't yet drawn it.)

Apart from the usual hypocrisy,
> Safety controls may be lost – models trained on Claude's Outputs won't have our safety measures, potentially leading to harmful or dangerous AI systems. We also have no visibility into deployment, meaning we cannot monitor how these distilled models are used or prevent misuse.
So was that why your models caused three real-world security incidents?

I'm on a mobile right now so I can't give the exact paper link but you can learn about the CORE-MATH project [1].

The dilemma is hypothetical (because we now know the exact precision requirement for those functions over all 64-bit doubles) but let's assume that we don't know that and also we happen to use decimals instead. What if, some f(x) is known to be, say, 123.4999...9997 with 1,000 fractional digits? You have to calculate at least 1,000 decimal digits of f(x) in order to correctly round, before that we only know it's between 123.4999...999 and 123.5000...001. There seems no mathematical theory that specially prevents this annoying possibility, hence the dilemma.

Common sense testing only tells about the presence of common sense, that's it. It is clear from recent events that LLMs do definitely possess some sort of intelligence even though it might have been polarized to certain domains.

It is a project-wide concern, so the stake is obviously high.

They learned English or gave up.

All of which have been challenged though. As the stake is high, any such reason (for or against LLMs, to be fair) has to be backed with Wikipedia-level evidences at the very least.

The OP said the Mandela effect [1] which is definitely about the past event. Anyhow, I'm okay with Codeberg's decision (I'm not even its stakeholder, so what can I say about that anyway) but it has to be honest about the intent. If its definition of "F/OSS" has changed, do say so.

Brief bio: Born in South Korea. Was a wannabe programming language researcher until I realized I'm not fit for the academia. Went to several startups with various duties. Then became a gamedev---primarily server frameworks and infrastructure but did many others too---in a big company for nearly a decade until I finally burnt out. Then worked for an ML accelerator startup doing tons of systems programming. Still doing strange things over the course: one winning IOCCC entry, a full-fledged type checker for Lua, several influential Rust libraries including Chrono, compression stuffs like Roadroller and J40 etc. Known for needlessly big walls of text.
