on Microsoft Patches a Record 974 Security Flaws in Biggest Update Ever in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
- Given known empirical numbers of bugs per per one thousand lines of code (which is between a few and about 25) … and the size of Microsoft products, how many bugs do they probably have in total?
Is this the number for human written code only or does it include boilerplate/ generated code too?

Why not both? There are lots of people named Jesus. It’s not that unlikely.

The cutting robot wears a plaque with an inscription like Slicer 9000. I would think.
They are separate entities. But they’re still a team!

I feel the pizza making robots. That’s the pizza cutting robot’s job. Focus on your strengths, delegate where needed. Don’t you agree?

The job is making the pizza. Why should they cut it?

Jetzt bin ich aber doch überrascht.
Next they find out that meta also didn’t care about all the other users, when they rolled out the addictive mechanisms. That they needed to please the gods of revenue… I mean… shareholders.

Thank you. That article gave me some insights.
- AI firms fear AI generated content and train their models with books from before. The fact that AI waters down the source data quality, because AI generated data becomes part of the source data. It’s worrying, let’s see where it leads and how the AI effects can be mitigated.
- Lawsuits seem to be an issue for anthropic and a driver for the scanning program too. Because illegal copies are problematic.
- The books are destructively scanned and disposed afterwards.
- In rare cases a 18th century book might be lost. But the ordered books seem to include anything and nothing. The term rare book seems to refer to the fact that a small amount of copies have been printed and only a few copies are available for sale (and the larger part is stored in libraries).
- Booksellers are both worried and happy at the same time.

Without details it feels, like a fear, uncertainty, doubt strategy just for the clicks, to me. I’m missing crucial information for an informed decision. The article is not suitable for much more than igniting anger.
LLM and AI companies rise a lot of valid criticism, besides its undeniable pros. I don’t like a witch hunt just because it is AI and someone tells me to be angry. I need more facts before I go fetch my pitchfork.
I.e. I dont get why they destroy the books. Google Books did fine without unbinding/ destroying books. It would help to know what kind of books are processed. And what their process is.
I don’t have information if the OCRed data is made available to the public. Which would be nice, since the article talks about data that is not yet digitally available.

Are we talking about 14th century handcrafted masterpieces or 2000s university textbooks? Do they destroy cultural heritage items or dusty low value sold-by-weight books?
I need to know if I have to feel angry and agitated or indifferent.
No, it won’t.
