Their European presence is regulated through Ireland now https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/arid-41435437.html It’s hard to see the platform lasting long in the EU if Musk keeps on his current path.
I didn’t get to read the article yet - but loading it is crashing Firefox and Safari on my IPhone - haven’t seen that happen in a while!
It is easy to jump back and forward between this social media platform and the issue tracker. What do you think is incentivising the pitchforks you are complaining about - where do you think they want the angry mob to…
Turning issue trackers into Emoji riddled social media platforms will do that alright.
I don’t understand the proposed reality they (we) should live in. They are trying to advocate for software that doesn’t hurt its users in a sea of enshittifaction. They should stop because corporations produce powerful…
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the roadmap mentioning switching from GPT4 Turbo to 4-o and hoping for better math performance feels like they are betting on a significant near term reliability improvement in…
This ‘everyone is using it so I need to also’ logic is funny to me, given the idea of the F in FOSS is to use network effects to spread the idea of software freedom. Using and thus endorsing a proprietary platform with…
It’s still baffling to me how many FOSS projects still use that platform, they’ve done very well keeping the ‘Microsoft’ prefix out of people’s sight. Codeberg does seem to be gaining some momentum with FOSS projects…
GPL software needn’t have anything to do with GNU - having alternative projects is healthy for many reasons. I just think that trying to make a permissive drop-in replacement for software that emphasises the very…
It’s a shame to see all this effort going toward replacing core GPL licensed utilities with permissive ones. It seems like a particularly common thing in the Rust community. It feels disrespectful of the intentions of…
I wouldn’t sweat it - that phrase is used all the time in Ireland, which the author would know if they’d bothered asking some Irish people. There is even a well know Paddy Wagon bus tour company with a giant Leprechaun…
When working in a research lab we used to have people boast that their analysis was so big it ‘brought down the cluster’ - which outed them pretty quickly to the people who knew what they were doing.
Hey if H from Steps can pull it off…
Did you miss the bit where they are being marketed as ‘intelligence’ - non-techies gobble this stuff up.
You are trying to suggest that Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t have a detailed knowledge and control over core Meta features, nor knowledge of the societal damage they can do?
Indeed - well, thank you for the piece. Just like the Google Search one it’s clear that plenty of work has gone into digging through corporate docs and giving them some much needed daylight!
Years ago so many ‘machine learning’ startups failed because their predictions were 90% accurate but 99.99% was needed for businesses to pay for them. These old scars seem to be missing in LLM mania - why will…
You are assuming all stakeholders want the mid level people gone. We already have the technology to automate most of this stuff - bullshit jobs exist for a different reason.
When you fly into some countries you have to fill out a form confirming that you haven’t committed genocide. A lot of people laugh at it without thinking about why the affirmation is there. This is about setting a…
The old ‘You made this?…I made this’ meme comes to mind https://a.pinatafarm.com/440x959/e59eef9670/you-made-thisi-m...
I always find this ‘left behind’ thing funny - as if whipping out a credit card for an ai tool is a skill only gained by early adopters.
Me neither in Sid - I guess they installed the listchanges package some time and forgot.
I guess you missed the bits on Mastodon where the package maintainer simply didn’t bother reaching out to the upstream whatsoever because he was ‘too busy’ and would only do so over a particular IRC setup. That’s not…
You are right - I don't have the details on Amazon's agreements with FOSS projects - have you made them public? All I have to go by are AWS's huge profits and the continuing struggles of FOSS projects involved with AWS…
Who is this ‘we’ - you are speaking about people who want the good bits of redis but not the responsibility of helping it sustain a business model built on open source? Your enabling of AWS’s corporate FOSS-washing…
