@hopeless and then there's model collapse. This is something you need to be aware if using LLM-based tools: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y

Coding models can produce good results because they've been trained on high-quality human produced data, because there were no LLM outputs in public FOSS code. But now that code is being filled with LLM outputs, which will cause the models to inevitably degrade. This is a fact, it's not my opinion, it's how these models work.

@masukomi
Thanks!

Bon soyons sérieux parlons tatouage
Je voudrais me faire tatouer circe inspirée du tableau ci dessous de John Waterhouse mais je ne vois aucun.e tatoueu.r.s.e sur #lille qui saurait faire ça. Une idée d'un génie de l'aiguille ? (le boost booste les ventilateurs)

@promovicz it's no coincidence that source routing of individual datagrams through the mixnet is precisely analogous to application-level control of hardware-level guarantees for transactional i/o semantics

#WritersCoffeeClub May 26: In what ways does your work defy expectation?

My work defies the expectations of how plots are supposed to work. My stories usually do not have a 'central conflict' but instead follow a central growth arc.

I got one kind of humorous review about how the story feels like its unfinished, and it obviously isn't because it ends at the end of the character growth arc, but the conflict wasn't over and it just felt like...

Yeah, no, I ended it exactly where I meant to and thank you for recognizing that even if it felt weird to you.

@hdv vibes only is the perfect description of my speaking style right now 🤣

@JeffBishop @NVAccess I feel like they should accept them as long as the addon developer has taken the time and significant effort to test things to make sure things work as they should and don't break any other features both in core and from other addons.

California moves to exempt Linux (and most other open-source OSes) from its upcoming age-verification law after backlash over forcing operating systems to collect users' ages -- amendment proposed by the same lawmaker who wrote the original law

@hopeless the quality of the models cannot be separated from their economic costs. Is it excellent if it costs you several thousand dollars per month? Because that's the real cost: https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1ti3xn0/holy_fuck_how_much_money_was_copilot_losing/

Local models are no match for the ones that are being used for coding, and they still need to be trained. How are you going to keep a local model up to date if you don't have access to a datacenter and billions to burn? It cannot be done locally.

Met wetgeving, samenwerkingen en het stimuleren van innovatie en talent bouwen we aan een sterker digitaal ecosysteem in Europa. Daarbij draait het om twee dingen. Veiligheid: zoveel mogelijk controle over onze data en zorg voor onze digitale infrastructuur. En aanbod, zodat we voor onze digitale diensten ook Europese partijen kunnen kiezen. Mooi dat de verbinding tussen beleid en wetenschap sterker wordt. We hebben elkaar nodig: de techneuten, de beleidsmakers en de mensen in het land.

Where regular human beings would say annoying things like “that’s not possible within that timeline” or “we don’t have the resources to do it,” AI will say “of course, right away!” and burn as many tokens as possible. When it makes mistakes, it’ll apologize — as it should because it failed you — but then promise to do better next time, all while costing so much less, at least in theory, than a regular, stinky human being.

It’ll create a PRD (product requirements document) of a theoretical software project with the confidence and vigor that you need to take it immediately to a software engineer and say “build this immediately,” and when the software engineer tells you a bunch of bullshit about it not being possible, it’ll spit out several convincing-sounding responses. Fuck, why even bother talking to that engineer at all? Claude Code can mock up a prototype that you can then shove in their fucking face before you fire them for not using AI to do it themselves.

Ed Zitron's vitriol (Zitriol? - ed.), while warranted, is distracting when he's reporting on the intricate finances of the AI bubble, but when he's tearing into matters of human relationships like this, it feels much more honed and relevant.

iOS 26.6 Beta 1 is out.

Vanavond was ik weer even terug op het oude nest, bij de @universiteitleiden voor de Nacht van de Digitale Veiligheid. Een avond die in het teken staat van de digitale dreigingen die onze samenleving steeds nadrukkelijker beïnvloeden, zoals geopolitieke afhankelijkheid, datalekken en cybercrises. Digitale veiligheid gaat over ons allemaal. Mijn boodschap was daarom: om onze digitale veiligheid en soevereiniteit te verzekeren, moéten we samen aan de slag.

Has anyone remarked yet that vibe coding is the literal antithesis of pair programming, which recognized that trading •more• programmers for less shit code was more efficient? 🤔

Loved my public speaking course a decade back. Not sure I remember all of it. 😅
