Mesa is working to update our contributor guide. Can you guess why?
Did you guess AI?
Because if you did, you'd be right. I don't want to put anyone on blast here so please don't go digging to find the motivating MR and harass the contributor or anything like that.
But the situation was exactly what you might think. Someone ran ChatGPT on the code and asked it for suggestions on making it more performant. They applied a bunch of the changes against their local branch, tested it, and found that it gave maybe a 0.5-1.0% perf boost in some titles.
That's totally fine. I don't care what tools you use to find a bottleneck. I'll happily take more FPS, no matter who found the issue or how. If some AI assistant helps you find things no one else has found and lets us make drivers faster, great!
But that's not what happened.
What happened next is that they then tried to make it the Mesa project maintainers' job to sort through the shit ChatGPT spit out and decide what's useful and what's not and why the changes helped and whether or not they were correct. The contributor had no no idea and, more importantly, they had no desire to actually learn about the Mesa code-base or the hardware in question. They just wanted to run ChatGPT and send its suggestions towards upstream.
This is not useful. This is not contributing. It's just burning maintainer time sorting through AI hallucinations. We have enough mediocre code to review that comes from actual humans who are actually trying to learn about Mesa and help out. We don't need to add AI shit to the merge request pile. If you don't understand the patch well enough to be able to describe what it does and why it makes things faster, don't submit it.
So now we're making it really clear: If you submit the merge request, you're responsible for the code change as if you typed it yourself. You don't get to claim ignorance and "because the AI said so". It's your responsibility to do due diligence to make sure it's correct and to accurately describe the change in the commit message.
Some things shouldn't have to be explicitly written down but here we are... 😩

@SnoopJ ok so like yeah on some level it's a trick question because wars are devastating tragedies and framing any outcome as "winning" shits on the memory of everyone who died, but I was thinking in fairly superficial terms along the lines of if a mugger pulls a gun on someone, did the mugger come away from the incident having accomplished any of their goals going into the incident at all?

@andre123
Un po' di protezione la dà ancora, anche per le ultime varianti, però dipende da persona a persona quanto questa si sia "diluita" nel tempo.
Io per sicurezza preferisco fare un richiamino ogni anno: alla mia veneranda età non sarà certo una punturina a farmi paura. @AlexPed, correggimi se sbaglio.

@aeva tricky to define "war" in that window (and in the Cold War) but I assume it's very bad because winning a "war" means it's over and you can't do any more profiteering so
-
I wonder what the USA's win/loss ratio is since the cold war, because I'm under the impression it's not great. Or at least, I just figure if we actually won any wars in the last few decades surely I would have heard about it. I say this without any sarcasm though: the 24 hour burger king deployment thing does make me feel irrationally proud of my country.

When should children have their #measles #vaccines?
From January 2026, the UK will offer the second dose of measles vaccine at the age of 18 months instead of at the age of three or four. The first dose will continue to be given at 12 months.
The move is inspired by research showing better vaccine uptake when the second dose of measles vaccine is offered earlier. France takes a similar approach, but there are a variety of schedules across Europe.
