Computer Science/EE authors: If you publish in an IEEE publication, expect your paper to be locked u so that few people will ever see it.

From now on, due to the existence of LLM generated code, learning to read, understand, critique, debug and improve code will be as important or more important than learning how to write code. Teachers and the education system need to pivot accordingly.

Disney and Universal sue AI firm, label it 'bottomless pit of plagiarism'
By Jessica Riga

Disney and Universal file a copyright infringement lawsuit against an AI firm the Hollywood giants describe as a "bottomless pit of plagiarism".

Random #computerScience observation that is quite useful sometimes: X - Y < 0 is the same as X < Y.
Not sure if something wonky could happen with overflow to prevent that from being true, though

My quick notes on the downloadable interview discussion with @vnikolov and @kentpitman About Vassil's assertables classed toggleable assertion macro design.

Provokes lots of fascinating historical notes from Kent about what the ANSI CL and earlier standardisations were doing and had in mind.

How safe are AI companions? Experts say app developers are falling short
By Ellen Phiddian

AI-powered friends and partners can fight loneliness, but they can also supercharge isolation. So how can companion apps be made safer?

Modern Minimal Perfect Hashing: A Survey

https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06536

#HackerNews #ModernMinimalHashing #Survey #HashingAlgorithms #ComputerScience #DataStructures

On a whim, I grabbed a copy of an AP Computer Science test-prep book from a local Little Library and ~treated~ tortured myself with a few of the example multiple-choice questions.

Most were... fine, if pretty unpleasant to read, but a couple were egregiously badly phrased, and one or two seemed to be outright wrong (i.e., had no correct solution).

Take this one, for example. If I'm reading it right, not only does it fail to define some of the variables it uses, but even a lenient reading of it seems to imply it will almost immediately hit an out-of-bound index on most input data.

Why do we put high schoolers through this crap, again?

A picture of a question from a practice AP Computer Science exam, with the following text:

27. Procedure doSomething takes in 2 parameters, a list and integer, and follows the following algorithm.

1. Let min be the value at the first index of the list and max be the value at the last index of the list.

2. If max < min, then stop: target is not present in array. Return -1.

3. Compute mid as the average of max and min, rounded down (so that it is an integer).

4. If array [guess] equals target, then stop. Return guess.

5. If the guess was too low, that is, array [guess] < target, then set min = guess + 1.

6. Otherwise, the guess was too high. Set max = guess 1.

7. Go back to step 2, repeat until procedure returns -1 or guess.

Which of the following are true statements about the procedure?

I. It implements a binary search.

II. It implements a sort of list from greatest to least.

III. It only works as intended when the list is sorted.

(A) I only

(B) II only

(C) I and III only

(D) II and III only

We have @vnikolov talking about common lisp and type checking macros

+:
We do not have incredible artist @shizamura who has her fourth #scifi comic volume finished being funded or something (?) https://sarilho.net/en/ (if you speak english and not portuguese).
She promises to record something about semantics for us in the future.

Having some fun (again) with bare metal OS programming. My evening task was scanning the PCI bus, and finding the network card. The next step would be now to write a "simple" network card driver...

Oh, and this code even works on my physical Lenovo W510 notebook :-) #computerscience #baremetal
