Saying that 30% of all your code is generated “by software” (not “by AI”, but “by software”) is what you’d say if you knew perfectly well you can’t write and maintain a production OS with LLMs, but you have a financial motivation to inflate the number to ride a hype wave and eyeballed how much of your committed code is machine-generated by templates techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/micr…

EDIT: it seems this reporting omitted the rather load-bearing phrase "in some of our projects" from his exact words:

> I’d say maybe 20 to 30 percent of the code that is inside of our repos today in some of our projects are probably all written by software.

Now, can I believe that "some" projects at Microsoft are 30% AI-generated? Yes, because they have a lot of projects at a lot of different levels of needs-to-workness.

Next in Penpot Desktop: one more step towards a seamless offline experience. With a click of a magic wand, you will be able to set up a local @penpot instance.

It requires Docker and will launch as an experimental feature.

"Currently, in our bank account, we have £2100 (around $2800). It's not even enough to pay the rent for one month," explains Joseph Redon, head of the Japanese Game Preservation Society. He's describing the end of the non-profit organisation he set up in 2011 with the aim of properly safeguarding Japanese gaming history before it is lost forever.

"I'm paying 25% of the rent," reveals Redon. "Meaning we are already virtually out of business. We have monthly supporters but are losing between £260 and £420 every month. So when you do the maths, we are completely out of cash in September. And a non-profit organization cannot be out of cash. We're then out of business. What we really need is to bring in at least £750 every month. It's not that much if it's 400 people giving £2 a month. Some people might give more, so we need 300 people to become supporters so that we can stay afloat. Otherwise, we shut the laboratory and won't have a place to do preservation or archiving."

So it begins... Bambu Lab's latest X1C firmware no longer works with OrcaSlicer. See: github.com/bambulab/BambuStudi…

Best solution for current X1C owners: don't upgrade your firmware.

Please remove anti-debugging code in BBL network plugin · Issue #6726 · bambulab/BambuStudio

Since 1.10.2 the BBL network plugin ships with debugger detecting code that will terminate the application when a debugger is attached. This makes it impossible to run the slicer from Visual Studio...

Trotz Überschrift ist der Kommentar deutschlandfunk.de/kommentar-z… vom #DLF (leider nur auf seltsamen social media unterwegs) zur elektronischen Patientenakte auf weiten Strecken gut und ausgewogen.

"Privacy on Trial: Meta’s DOJ Battle vs. Purism’s User-Centric Philosophy"

Meta claims it’s not a monopoly.

The FTC disagrees.

At the center of the case: Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp—moves the FTC argues were calculated to "neutralize competitive threats" and consolidate power across the digital landscape.

For those who reject Surveillance Capitalism—where your data is the product—Purism offers a bold alternative.

"Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI."

It can't be 30% by plain math. Just replacing 30% of existing code with new code takes (many) years, and then we include all produced code. If they ONLY used AI to write all code for the last few years, and they wrote it at a high pace, it could *perhaps* be done.

We all know that AI can't write code that good. But sure "up to 30%" could also mean "2%".

Of all *new* code perhaps? Still feels high.
