@KetDarkDragon I think this comes from another effect made by the same developer, which uses some unspecified AI trained on pixel art to generate *palettes.* Even in that case, I *seriously* doubt that AI was trained off user-uploaded data.
English

@KetDarkDragon There have been rumors that the HEISEI-VHS web app scrapes the images uploaded to it and uses them to train AI--as far as I can tell, these rumors are all *completely false.*

People asked and I delivered. I'm excited to announce a web-based version of ntsc-rs: web.ntsc.rs

@taviso @UK_Daniel_Card @InsiderPhD @nfinf5 I'm getting concerned about this slowly-coalescing group of developers who've built themselves an echo chamber and convinced themselves they're god's gift to software, with a very specific culture-war slant. Not good to see projects like FFmpeg fall into that crowd.

I am actually very empathetic to the devs here, Google has the best security team money can buy, sets them loose on really important, but still hobby, projects and provides no help to actually fix the issues and instead gives them a deadline that they probably can’t meet
FFmpeg@FFmpeg
Here's an example of Google's AI reporting security vulnerabilities in this codec: issuetracker.google.com/issues/4401831… We take security very seriously but at the same time is it really fair that trillion dollar corporations run AI to find security issues on people's hobby code? Then expect volunteers to fix.

After every post we make about handwritten we are told the compiler can do a better job. Here's a great example (from HN user ack_complete) showing numerous compilers making a mess of a simple saturated add (a single paddusb on x86):

@SnoozeButtonBen @opinonhaver If AI is this good at poetic meter, I'd be very impressed

Watching the BC leaders debate. @Dave_Eby says we should look at the great things First Nations are doing at the south end of the Burrard St Bridge. Well, I see it almost every day and as an architect said to me today, it's their way of saying "it's payback time". It's awful.

@jakobrxw I'm not interested in selling or licensing ntsc-rs, sorry.
English

@valadaptiv3 I'm interested in possibly purchasing it from you or getting the rights to sell it on my website tinytapes.ca would love to talk about a potential offer! thanks :D

@cullophid @rachelnabors One would think so, but the consistency indicates otherwise

@ngriffin_uk @Cloudflare Not sure if this bit was added to the article after your tweet, but:
> Contrary to what is stated on the polyfill.io website, Cloudflare has never recommended the polyfill.io service or authorized their use of Cloudflare’s name on their website.
English

@Cloudflare Couldn’t you make the internet safer by just shutting down the domain though?
They’re saying that cloudflare is securing their service, but you don’t seem to agree?

@meijer_s @WakabayashiEnzo Ah, you see, all you need to do is add the array.prototype.map package that has been helpfully published on npm
English

@WakabayashiEnzo That doesn't match with best practice 2.

Best practice 2; avoid all loops.

@meijer_s @TArch64 I believe Node 22 finally supports require()ing ESM modules from CJS ones, albeit under a flag (joyeecheung.github.io/blog/2024/03/1…); probably should've landed a lot earlier.
English

@TArch64 Yes, esm only is painful. That's why we have to ship both formats till cjs is phased out. It sucks, yes. But cjs only is not an option.

we have a list of modules with alternative, lighter packages here if you want to save some bytes github.com/es-tooling/mod…

@marcysutton Wait, ESLint? I got the sense from the original discussion that this was about using old versions of Node as a proxy for older browsers, and ensuring that things like axobject-query could run in said older browsers. Can you elaborate?
English

@kibertoad @passle_ @43081j It's actually just a fork of the original "through" package that seems identical other than the dependencies he snuck in. Could just switch back to that.
English

@_jessicasachs @dmitriid @ljharb Please reach out to as many people as possible who have handed maintainership to him. They're an important voice--one that has gone unheard even on their own repositories considering the pace of many of the changes. I worry that many of them were not fully informed.
