I’m not really interested in YouTuber drama, Gnome has always been a butt of the joke because it’s been built on accessibility principles but now it’s also associated with being anti-LLM so that probably brings in new haters too.

(I acknowledge that I see your comment. I only block Lemmy.world, on top of whatever Piefed.social is blocking.)

From what I can tell by checking now, there’s been some conspiracy theories around removal of Sonny Piers from Gnome Foundation Board of Directors but the current state of this drama is that Sonny Piers has taken down his blog.

My code was scraped according to this website but let’s not kid ourselves that any kind of opt-out will prevent this. Any corpo knows that you can outsource all of your shady dealings to a couple of layers of third party vendors and pretend you didn’t know any better. It’s safe to assume that if you use an LLM that you didn’t train yourself you’re violating copyleft of some GPL project.

I’m seriously behind times because I’m reading RHEL switched to XFS as a default in 2013 and SUSE did that even earlier :o

I don’t even need an LLM to be confidently wrong, sorry.

Why would you use XFS for those partitions in the first place? It’s not what it was designed for or used in real life and that’s likely reason this wasn’t discovered before. What I’m getting from a lot of those AI-assisted security findings is that they’re not concerned with a real vector of attack before making big claims in the media. You’ll probably be able to vandalise things with this exploit but „root privileges” is pushing it.

Those root privileges being able to edit a root-owned file if it’s in a directory that allows writes by all users. How common is that?

Saeed Abbasi, the head of Qualys’ Threat Research Unit, says the discovery emerged from a research initiative between Qualys and Anthropic, in which researchers integrated the AI model Claude Mythos Preview into their manual audit workflow.

Ah, an ad.

Not being able to visualise images has no bearing on whether you can conceptualise surrounding space (positions, distances) or you wouldn’t be able to function at all. While aphantasia is not a medically recognised condition and therefore not exactly well studied there’s a lot to suggest it partially overlaps with autism. This in turn would explain tendency for bottom-up thinking - your brain has to systemise everything to understand it. At least that’s my intuition as someone with both.

Not sure about you but my blinking is not synced to display refresh rate, I do it every couple of seconds on my own. BFI is used to improved motion clarity, not latency.

I’m in like 3 AI design forums for some reason but whenever I want to start measuring productivity gains I’m ignored so try that for the least amount of effort required.

Both personality traits and political views in this study were self reported. Intuition seems right but that’s not a great way to measure it.

Last I checked it’s true that you can get framerate in the area of or even exceeding that of Windows. What’s rarely mentioned however is that frame pacing can suck (119 frames in 1 second then 1 frame in 1 second averages to 60 frames per second to give an over exaggerated example) and will contribute to stuttery feel despite adequate framerates.

I support very few open source projects because ultimately charity is not a sustainable way of financing things. It makes me feel like it’s up to me, an individual, to carry the weight of the world and ultimately too depressing. Fostering open source should be handled by governments, same as other stuff that’s done due to common interest, like schools and hospitals.

I’ve seen it enough times to see a pattern. This post is riddled with tech bro language, there’s no denying it. More of it is coming with everything that entails.

Thankfully there’s still openrsync. I didn’t even realise I was already using it so I’m not invested into arguing further. To all vanilla rsync users, Godspeed.

Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person. I can make my own judgments based on what someone said and how they said it.

You can look at the tone of the whole post to understand where the author is mentally. You can also make an educated guess about who will want to work on a project that’s being coded with LLMs. If I’m wrong remind me and I’ll own it. But I don’t think I am.

Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.

I think some people are stochastic parrots and some are not. I think most of our true understanding of things comes from escaping our limitations. Why so many people want to become a stochastic parrot is beyond me though.

Now to the future, because we’re not done yet by a long shot. The security reports keep rolling in. I’m working on a bunch of CVEs right now. Luckily I’ve been joined by some other very good developers with great systems development skills and security knowledge. Some of these people came to my attention partly because of all the rage happening at the moment, so I get some rage storm clouds have silver linings. Watch out for some credits for some great new rsync developers in the next release.

The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.

Title makes it sound like a done deal but so far there’s a promise that there will be a plan in a few months.

The shift to Linux is happening and every French government ministry is required to put its migration plan in place by the fall of 2026, including considering complementary software such as antivirus, collaborative tools, and so on.

Please don’t mix chilli peppers with anti-inflammatory drugs, they wreck your guts as it is lol.

It also matches preference of general public so one would say that algorithm works as expected?

PS3s had native Sony-sanctioned Linux support at the time - it was marketing for computational prowess of Cell processor. Funnily enough removing it as an anti-piracy measure was what prompted community to jailbreak PS3. Steam Machine doesn’t offer anything nearly as attractive, it’s just a PC and inference requires way more VRAM than it offers (8GB which is pretty awful for modern games too).
