@cwebber Once you break the barrier to letting the models approve reviews of model code and merge without human oversight, it seems difficult to find another red line that will hold, to say nothing of reversing the trend. That is, until a catastrophe makes that decision for you.
@rysiek Thanks for sharing the gospel of Black excellence. Their long list of contributions to making the world a better place is inspiring. For instance, can you imagine a world without hip hop, jazz, blues, and soul music?! There are so many things to explore, celebrate, and be grateful for.🙌🏻
I keep reading about Black history, so I'll definitely share more articles and links soon.🙂
@gyrusinczky looking forward to that!

As small Russian units slip into Mykolaivka street by street, exhausted Ukrainian defenders, foreign-trained deserters, and terrified civilians brace for a possible assault on Sloviansk, backed by new, vastly more destructive North Korean missiles.

11 years ago, in August 2015, I began my fight to obtain the all documentation on Julian #Assange and #WikiLeaks.
11 years later, I’m still fighting in a Washington, D.C., court: FOUR governments have denied me access, at least 2 (UK and Sweden) destroyed thousands of key docs
A dla kontekstu, proszę uprzejmie, profesor Bralczyk o tym raporcie, bez żadnego hejtu, po prostu okiem językoznawcy:
https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/poprosilismy-jezykoznawce-aby-przetlumaczyl-raport-o-polsce-na-jezyk-polski-nie-udalo-sie-7320814268741760a
Bądźmy poważni. Ktoś podjął decyzję o użyciu wyciskarki tekstu, ktoś potem wziął te upławy lingwistyczne i zdecydował "jest okej, puszczamy publicznie".
Ten ktoś ponosi odpowiedzialność za to, co zostało opublikowane.
Już nawet nie wchodzę w temat tego, czy ten "raport" został sfinansowany z publicznych pieniędzy. Ktoś dał temu swoją twarz!
A co do hejtu, to jestem niestety przekonany, że ogromna jego część jest po prostu mizoginiczna i obrzydliwa.
Nie chcę umniejszać tego problemu.
Bardzo tu profesor Mróz-Gorgoń współczuję, i chciałbym, by nie było taryfy ulgowej dla tego typu zachowań.
Idę o zakład, że skala reakcji nie byłaby taka sama, gdyby za projekt odpowiadał akurat jakiś pan profesor, a nie pani profesor. I to jest dodatkowy poziom dramatu w tej i tak już gównianej sytuacji.
thank you Meta!
Yes I missed this line:
> Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.
Now would be a STELLAR time if you wanted to introduce vibe-obscured malware into the Linux kernel. (I forget where I read the research on it, but LLMs have been shown to be pretty good at this, inserting intentional vulnerabilities in ways that are hard to detect, embedded in other patches.)

#Quakers reaffirm commitment to trans inclusion and refuse to make any changes to toilet provision in the wake of EHRC Code of Practice
https://www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/quakers-reaffirm-commitment-to-trans-inclusion-in-the-wake-of-ehrc-code-of-practice?
"The policy also states that Quakers will not require trans, non-binary or intersex people to disclose or prove their status in circumstances where such evidence is not demanded of others.
Under the arrangements confirmed by trustees, toilet facilities labelled with a 'female' sign remain available to cisgender women, trans women, and others for whom those facilities best align with their lived experience.
Similarly, facilities labelled with a 'male' sign remain available to cisgender men, trans men, and others for whom those facilities best align with their lived experience."

In case you were wondering how the linux kernel is doing: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260818212923.2725202-1-kuba@kernel.org/
> This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.
> We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations.
That's right, "Thank you Meta!", this kernel maintainer enthusiastically exclaims. Presumably, for subsidizing their slop machines trained on pirated books with money from online fraud. Which eliminates "some" hallucinations. An incredible achievement, I'm sure.
