made you look
And it’s also not like the hardware is improving much either, we’ve effectively hit the wall performance wise with processors and RAM.
That’s literally what all these datacenters are for, we can’t scale the individual computer performance up, so instead we build more and more of them.
Apple used Pascal up until the System 7 era anyway, C was just one of many choices of the time.
If we didn’t have C, we’d probably have eliminated things like buffer overflows and out of bounds memory accesses decades ago.
The LLMs are wicked fast at reviewing code
That’s because it’s not actually reviewing the code, rather just producing text that statistically looks like review comments.
So it does look vaguely useful, e.g. if code has null checks, review comments usually won’t ask for them to be added, but it’s never actually reviewing, or understanding, or reasoning, or anything else people claim.
It’s like an actor playing a doctor in a TV show, they’re not actually diagnosing patients, they’re just following a script that looks like it.
Also shows how flawed and politically compromised the Jedi were at the time.
For all it’s (many) flaws, I enjoyed it overall, didn’t think it needed a second season though so no big loss IMO.
“Prompting” isn’t a skill, that’s just asking for what you want. Same way as asking a barista for a drink doesn’t require the same level of skill as making it.
But in general yes that’s how arguments and decision-making works, for any law. These things aren’t mathematical proofs interpreted by computers, they’re people you convince of your point.
Ehh, it seems pretty targeted to me, it’s defined to only apply to automatic apps or services, e.g. it specifically exempts manually created images.
Bans X from allowing grok to make naked pictures of celebrities but doesn’t apply to people using photoshop to do the same.
A box shaped computer? so pedestrian, mine is a hyperbolic paraboloid.
What defines “mostly”? What defines “tolerated”?
A dictionary probably.
People say that but it wasn’t a deal breaker for the United Nations.
Defeatism just benefits them. We don’t need it.
It’s not defeatism btw, it’s opposition to the idea that people should have a say if their content is used to train an LLM.
Preparing for a new fundraising round then?
Does systemd print much once it’s fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.
Yeah any decision would be on a case by case basis, which is normally something you’d want to avoid.
I’ve seen a couple of Linux devs talk about how they just give a prompt to claude and walk away leaving it alone to spit out the code, none of which can be licensed as GPL. But good luck working out what specific lines of what specific patches of theirs used an LLM vs. were re-written or such.
Secure boot does have a revocation mechanism (It’s literally how this issue has been mitigated) though.
You can not only load in allowed signatures, you can also load in disallowed ones so even properly signed binaries will get rejected.
Starlink the worlds fastest growing ISP, while having an enormous profit margin is the bread and butter.
Starlink has only had one profitable year ($70m total), and that’s only if you exclude the cost of rocket launches and only count selling end user hardware and subscriptions.
.env files are wild to me, environment variables have never been a good way to pass data to applications, let alone secret data.
So the solution people came up with was to store them in plain text next to the binary, and then have a loader apply them before running the main app.
From other articles I’ve seen (Here’s an example) it was telemetry and cross referencing the IPs used.
VPNs might help hide from passive identification, but they don’t help when you connect to the same service on your normal and private connections alternatively. The computer equivalent of using both your real name and an alias with the same person, they’ll know who you are.
Could be using Edge (Account syncing), or using Bing while signed in (Considering they were signing into private accounts while on the VPN, seems possible)
Funnily enough, I was just reading a post from a dev complaining about the review bot and how it makes developing patches harder.
Previously review comments were from somebody who had experience with the code or subsystem in question, who understood how the whole thing worked. The LLM bot has none of that and will spit out nonsensical comments that the developer now needs to try to understand and verify, so they still have to ping other developers to see if the LLM output makes sense.
