Is it really?? I've known so many tall dudes then, eesh.

It's surprisingly complicated when it comes to SK. Lloydminster and I think one other city are not, they follow AB

Can someone explain to me how www.gnu.org/philosophy/w... is incompatible with the idea that training LLMs on copyrighted free software is fine as long as the output isn't copyrightable?

LRS: I pointed out the MLAT issue with Proton for Wired back in 2015 www.wired.com/2015/10/mr-r...

I presume there is already a bunch of machinery in place from the reproducible builds project; the question would be, how difficult would it be to adapt to this tech, and what project structure would provide for independent verification without individuals needing to do it themselves?

יעדע יאר לכבוד פורים וואלט געבאקט איין פון מיין מיט-סטודענטן המן-טאשן פאר דעם גאנצן יידיש-קלאס. ס'איז אזוי זיס און זי מאך די ב ע ס ט ע המן-טאשן אין דער וועלט (מאמע, דו טארסט נישט עס לייענען)

The answer with a group of that size is Always "dim sum"

(And, I'd also argue, code has a mystique that other engineering deliverables don't. No one romanticizes design docs or roadmaps or documentation. So in another sense, this phrases pushes back on the "code is supreme" mindset that many developers share, which often leads to exclusionary behaviour)

This is why your staff and principal level engineers are spending at most a fraction of their time coding and spend far more time mentoring people on improving their coding skills than writing things directly themselves. Because in *mastery of the profession*, coding is not the hard part

I agree but I also think that statement is taken out of context. "Coding isn't the hard part" isn't something you say to someone who doesn't know how to code. It's a recognition that among a group of skilled software engineers, the most limited skills tend to be design and communication, not coding

iNaturalist-facilitated rediscovery of Monarda mexicana (Lamiaceae) in high-elevation habitats of Durango, Mexico | Phytotaxa

the "lost" species Monarda mexicana is still out there! Known from just 2 historical collections (most recent from the 1950s). Imagine my joy in stumbling on a picture of it on @inaturalist.bsky.social !!! We've now documented the first known modern populations and revived the species name:

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Them: but they keep saying "that's the most honest thing I've said"
Me: they sure do that, don't they. The most statistically likely answer. I guess people love hearing it :)

Was talking to a person earlier today who complained than an LLM "lied" to them.

Me: LLMs can't lie.
Them: what?! but—
Me: LLMs can't tell the truth, so how can they lie? The code doesn't know the difference

They can be fun to talk to and people form real emotional attachments to them! But they certainly don't think

LLMs are talking pet rocks and you can't convince me otherwise
