j_maffe··on Asking Gemini 3 to generate Brainfuck code results in an infinite loop
Why would anyone feel compelled to use AI to write such a short blog post? Is there no space where I can assume the written contented is communicated 100% by another human being?

Please add a /s we can't afford sarcasm in this climate anymore
j_maffe··on Beginning January 2026, all ACM publications will be made open access
I can tell you for a fact that points 2 and 3 usually do not hold simply because publishing fees are directly correlated with the "prestige" perception of the journal.
j_maffe··on Israel used Palantir technologies in pager attack in Lebanon
Yes! Like the 18,000 children as well!
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Well it looks like they derive some pleasure out of it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/20/israelis-cheer...
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Hoping people see this comment when they think Israel are anything other than a war-mongering nation.
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
They made peace with Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon by invading their lands (and attempting to annex them!) and then US forced their hands to make peace. Please mention the context of this great "peace" Israel has made. Israel's neighbors don't hate it solely because of antisemitism.
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Well since their land got invaded, houses stolen and demolished, burial grounds defiled, poisened with chemical weapons, ethnically dispelled, and crammed onto a piece of land the size of a city , I'd get why they'd still be pissed at the current state of affairs. This did not start on October 7th.
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
No, it's to futher divide up the palestinians. Netenyahu himself has said so.
j_maffe··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
This is just some combination of a strawman and ad hominum. I'm sure you can come up with a better argument than that.

Source? Can't find anything stating this
j_maffe··on Israel used Palantir technologies in pager attack in Lebanon
> This is one of the most sophisticated attacks to avoid civilian casualty. 127 civilians Lebanese civilians killed since the ceasefire by the party you claim is avoiding civilian casualties, btw. very careful bunch

Tell that to the dead civillians
j_maffe··on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image
It's not about the possibility, it's about probability. People are posting more fake images and videos than ever before. More is categorically different.
j_maffe··on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image
Exactly. More is different.
j_maffe··on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps in Europe
Nothing. It's a monopoly in a market that is heavily network dependent. Without interoperability, it's infeasible for a new option to become viable. Though I'm sure you know this already and just believe that monopolies are alright for consumers.
j_maffe··on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps in Europe
They can and they have. It's the lock-in Meta is imposing that's preventing new options to succeed in the market.
j_maffe··on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps in Europe
Yes which is fine given that you get to choose what you send to which app.
j_maffe··on OpenAI researcher announced GPT-5 math breakthrough that never happened
Ah... The classic "If we don't do it, someone else will"

Tell that to the thousands of 18 year olds who'll be captured by this predatory service and get AI psychosis

j_maffe··on Julia 1.12 highlights
That was fixed in 1.9. Indeed it makes a huge difference now that you can quickly run for the first time.
j_maffe··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
that's not data.
j_maffe··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
No because GDPR is better implemented and there are clear and reasonable guidelines to follow. This is just clueless policy makers fucking around.
j_maffe··on Failing to Understand the Exponential, Again
Yes that's logistic growth basically
j_maffe··on Failing to Understand the Exponential, Again
It's interesting that he brings up the example of "exponential" growth in the case of COVID infections even though it was actually logistic growth[1] that saturates once resources get exhausted. What makes AI different?

j_maffe··on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say
Why don't you think it's good evidence? Did you even read the report?
j_maffe··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Yes but it hides the comment for most users. This is of course besides the flagging abuse which outright delists websites.
j_maffe··on Samsung taking market share from Apple in U.S. as foldable phones gain momentum
Wait until Apple comes out with a folding phone, they'll say it was the plan all along lol
j_maffe··on Google to obey South Korean order to blur satellite images on maps
