    Java Star
AI Thread Summary
To move a 2D star in a JFrame while properly erasing its previous position, two main techniques are suggested. First, before updating the star's position, repaint the area with the background color to effectively erase the old star. Second, implementing "double buffering" can help manage the rendering process, reducing flicker and improving the visual quality of the animation. These methods will ensure smooth movement of the star within the frame.

2. Alternatively, you could implement "double buffering".
 
Ah.., I see it now, thanks for your suggestions ..lol..

This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
