I've been filing bugs to improve Mozilla's crash reporting infrastructure so it's easier to see at a glance if a particular crash affects only a specific CPU but also if only some microcode versions are affected.
I said it before but I'll say it again. I would have never thought that CPU bugs would have become an everyday occurrence, but here we are.
But by all means, keep pouring capitals into "artificial intelligence" while the very foundation of computing is falling apart and we can't trust a machine to execute instructions reliably.
@gabrielesvelto this is the most depressing part to me. We seem to have given up on understanding and rigour, and decided we'll just accept half baked shit. But this is, perhaps, simply the way of the world at this point.
@bhearsum it is, but in our sector there's a point past which things just don't work at all. How far is that going to be given that complexity in the systems we develop and use keeps rising and rising?
@gregtatum @bhearsum the only reason we forget about Me is Vista, but then people forgot about Vista because of 8
@gabrielesvelto @gregtatum @bhearsum Most people also forget that there was a Windows 98 before Windows 98 SE
@gregtatum I sure remember the blue screen of death I usually got before that screenshot!
