Glad it applies worldwide /s

Slop can't be copyrighted, great. We don't want slop.

There is no settled legal status on the output of AI systems and it's certainly something that does need clarification going forward. The law may treat asking an LLM to regurgitate it's training data vs following instructions in a local context differently. Human engineers are allowed to use "retained knowledge" from their experiences even if they can't bring their notebooks from previous careers. LLMs are just better at it.

It looks like the issue submitter is trolling a number of projects on their personal anti-AI crusade. I would take it more seriously if they had reviewed any of the PRs and identified issues with them.

Yes AI slop is an issue (especially for maintainers) but it can still be a useful tool. If the maintainers want to use AI on their own code it should be their choice. Most forks fail because the righteous feeling of finally getting your own way on a repo you control usually falls away as you realise the people actually doing the work didn't follow you.

There was someone who wrote up a bootstrapping guide for technology assuming an apocalypse sent us back to sticks and stones. I think that guide went much further back on the level of lithography you could meaningfully get to while restarting tech.

I am curious what size features this guy can create in his lab.

Mostly. Some countries built a bunch of storage so they could import LNG from Qatar. The grid is greening slowly and I suspect now we are coming out of winter gas demand will start to drop again.

The chain of trust will depend on the hardware. I would expect on a Steam Deck it would be Valve all the way. If it was Ubuntu it would be Microsoft then Canonical. I doubt any random distro would be acceptable to the games wanting to enforce anti cheat.

You want to be sure if the integrity of the binaries that are running. That needs a chain of trust from firmware to user space.

Kernel access isn't needed if they use signed boot and can verify everything running is what it should be.

Ah yes, found the drop down. Thanks.

Weird, opening in Pipe Pipe it seems to be some sort of Arabic. I wonder if I'm getting some weird auto-dub?

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Has this been dubbed into a different language?

I don't think it's the worst fear. At least they choose the Greens over Reform.

Watching #emacsconf today I was introduced to this open source project to act as an agent between #llm's and editors.

Has anyone played with this? Any experience in how one would sandbox an agent so it doesn't do anything outside the project directory?

 

This is depressing. I have relatives who are adopters and it seems this sort of behaviour of social workers is endemic in the system. The support is not there and when things break down they attack the parents to bully them into continuing at risk to themselves and their other kids.

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

 

Perhaps the biggest libvirt related piece of work here has been to reworking of the QMP API docs to make them easier to navigate. QMP is how libvirt probes for functionality as well as handling things like introspection of the machines and dealing with things like hotplug.

 

Post Office paid £600m to continue using Horizon despite its broken state. Hopefully this should be a wake up call to government about how it goes about large software projects.

In my opinion anything written for government should come with a full license for the source code (preferably open source) so they have the ability to change suppliers if there are any issues.

 

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

 

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

 

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

 

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.
