Youre right in it needing to be rebooted, and thats sort of what im getting at. The technical side (the idea of how models work) is fine. Problem is big companies fed it with stolen content. And instead of optimising its performance they instead decided to burn even more of our environment.

I wholeheartedly agree that is evil.

But assume an entirely “untrained LLM” - its fed with truly proven open source, willingly contributed information, which then runs locally? I think thats ok.

Double checking the output - thats absolutely correct. I work in software development. I have dabbled with ai code tools. I would not let them ever touch my projects directly. Using one as a sounding board was slightly helpful. but knowing the cost and impact of these models currently, its not worth it.

Use gallons of water, and a dozen trees to feed the plagiarism machine to do my job for me? Never ever. fuck that.

Just edited my reply for context. Hopefully it explains at least my personal view.

LLMs provided by billionaire techbros? Burn that shit to the ground.

The scientific idea and application of ai when its helpful and relevant I dont see a problem.

The difference being no vibe coded ai generated bullshit ends up in the kernel. The use of this technology elsewhere can be completely fine, if its treated correctly.

But Im totally on your side with “openai llm vibe coded slop should never ever land in the kernel”. And I trust linus on that. given his history with regular 100% human maintainers, he wouldnt let that garbage slide.

“ai” as a term has become synonymous with openai, anthropic, gemini. theyre just LLM products sold by companies. They should never be near real critical production systems. But the wider scientific/technology side could be applied ethically - without using those LLM products

Additionally - im not shilling for proton here!! Im in their ecosystem and havent had problems BUT if I was to start again, Id consider other options too.

Nothing wrong with proton per se. But for example, Mulvads approach (ie RAM disk only storage) sounds more positive

Im not trying to say one way or the other, or take anyone’s side here.

just putting into context “ai generated code in the linux kernel” isnt whats currently happening.

unless you have evidence otherwise.

edit - KDEs response maybe clarifies “ai” to me in this discussion.

We agree and we agree with many of your objections. AI has become a synonym of tech irresponsibility, greed and exploitation, like crypto was before it. The difference is AI existed before the current craze and pursued legitimate goals. That is still happening in some areas of AI research and ignoring all uses of AI would be throwing the baby out with the bath water.

LLM providers like OpenAI are scum. But the general technology around “ai” isnt as bad as that

FDroid I cannot comment on. And I dont bother with desktop mail clients. So maybe our personal use cases dont match up

Did you read Linus’ response on the mailing list? From that linked article

https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wj3fQVEcAqy82JnrX2KKi4NjnEGGSH2Pf_ztnLCcveWkQ@mail.gmail.com/

Given his sole control over what gets merged, thats all that matters.

also note hes discussing ai as a tool for reviewing patches. nothing about ai actually writing code.

make of that what you will

not having linux support

I have proton VPN installed on my linux box? Unless im misunderstanding you. Their mail service I use via web though

Where have you seen LLM generated code being merged into the kernel?

aka time is relative

just curious, why move away from tailscale?

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Thanks! I think id seen similar in italy and estonia over the years

What do you mean “make a bios”? A BIOS initialises hardware - whether its x86 x64 or ARM is irrelevant. The machine would need a bios to boot

 
 

I had this dish in Denver. The bar tended to sell mexican food, but I am not sure if this is specifically a mexican dish.

The actual meal itself (onion, coconut etc) I am not looking for specifically. I haven’t been able to find a recipe where crispy rice in general is made in a cast iron pan.

The bottom and sides were crispy, and the middle was very creamy rice. Does anyone have a recipe or suggestions?

 
 
 

In the unauthorised version shown on Tencent Video, Durden is still shot and killed, but the final scene of the buildings exploding is replaced with a black screen and words that say the police discovered the plan, stopped it, and sent the Narrator to an asylum.

 

I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is "uniquely" american - IE, you can't really find it outside of the country.

UK stores do tend to have a "USA section" which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn't find in other countries.

As an example - Wendy's as far as I've seen, isn't local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a "unique american food", to me.

I'm also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).

Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?

Immediate edit - turns out Wendy's is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!

Thanks for all the suggestions!!

 

I am traveling from the UK to USA for a few months, my first stop being New York City for a few weeks over Christmas and New Years.

Generally speaking, what is the weather like? What would be appropriate clothing? I think it snows often, so I was assuming some waterproof shoes / boots would be sensible at least.

 

Hope this is ok to ask here - apologies if not.

tldr - my car has tire pressure senors, oil monitor sensor etc all controlled via in the car display system. If I had this changed with a non-oem aftermarket display, do I need to specifically look for one that supports vehicle status sensors? Or is it a matter of just connecting it all and the display will have that information? And will the built in controls still function?

additional context -

I have a Mini Cooper S 2020 F55 with what I believe is a BIS entertainment/in car system. I want to change it out for one that has carplay. When I look online, read any forums, they’re all discussing how to swap the BIS with an OEM mini headunit etc (NBT/EVO whatever). Replacing them looks incredibly expensive - nearing £1000 for everything.

I want to retain all existing functionality - the vehicle status like oil and tire sensors etc.

I have looked at the wireless carplay interrupt units which can add carplay without replacing the display/head unit however it doesn’t seem there is one available specifically for the BIS unit.

Does anyone have any experience or advice? Thanks!

 

Currently in filters and blocks, all the “Add instance/community/user” are at the bottom of the list. I have a large filter list requiring a lot of scrolling to reach the bottom.

Would it be possible to have this at the top instead?

Alternatively, when selecting a community to block (vis the menu) is there a way to block the whole instance that community is hosted on? Primary use to block instances that are non-english.

House Republican investigators accused President Joe Biden of engaging in “impeachable conduct” as part of a long-awaited report. It’s unlikely to change a reality the party has faced for months: They don’t have the votes to impeach him.

The 291-page report released Monday by the Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees comes roughly eight months after Republicans formalized their impeachment inquiry against the president. Their sweeping investigations, largely focused on the business deals of Biden’s family members, have gone on even longer, informally starting around the time they first took the House majority in January 2023.

Republicans on the committees are accusing Biden of two offenses they argue meet the bar for impeachable conduct: abuse of power and obstruction. They’re the same charges that House Democrats cited in the 2019 impeachment against then-President Donald Trump — an inquiry frequently mentioned in the House GOP report.

“The Constitution’s remedy for a President’s flagrant abuse of office is clear: impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal by the Senate,” the committees write in the report, adding they are releasing the report to the House “for its evaluation and consideration of appropriate next steps.”
