Of course comparing open source and AI is like comparing apples and oranges, but the question makes a lot of sense. Just the first thing that comes to mind: open source is about transparency whereas LLMs are opaque by…

That's really interesting, but i'm wondering if this is as rational as it looks. > we are going to be kinda of obsolete in what defined us, as a profession: the ability to write code Is it a fact, really? I don't think…
With all those fantastic claims defining "the future", it feels more like PR hunt for venture capital in those start-ups than a serious article.
The second video shows the head of the CNIL (~ the "regulator") mostly repeating platitudes about various topics, but nothing about age restriction for social networks. Did i miss anything?

Posts inviting language/frameworks flame wars are clickbaits... and i fell for it, again.
Fantastique ! Let's create "Piaf" to see la vie en rose, the French à la https://codewithrockstar.com/.

Filling forms is a terribly artificial activity in essence. They are also very culturally biased, but that fits well with the material the NNs have been trained with. So, surely those IQ-related tests might be…
Surely "intelligence" is a broad field... i might not be so that great at it, but i hope that's ok. "[LLMs] reason using the same type of associative abstract thinking as humans do": do you have a reference for this…
"AI" is too much of a broad umbrella term of competing ideas, from symbolic logic (FOL, expert systems) to statistical operations (NNs). It's clear today that the latter has won the race, but ignoring this history…
I think it's about showing that different models are possible for people who do care and are willing to reflect and change the way they operate. The big majority goes with the comfort of the mainstream, almost by…
Signal is doing a great job fighting for its survival as a public platform. It's obvious that "chat-control" cannot be effective in its official purpose: there are already and will be many ways to evade surveillance…
That could be true in a perfect world, where people and systems executing the surveillance are perfectly capable, respectful, honest and accountable, forever. But in a perfect world surveillance is not necessary anyway:…
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_European_Union, "legal acts include regulations, which are automatically enforceable in all member states": any move by national parliaments would be overruled.…
I'm happily using podman only. Lightweight, secure by design, sweet integration with systemd as an orchestrator: a perfect middle ground when the complexity of k8s isn't needed. Sadly "docker" is just a synonym for…
Security is always a cat and mouse game, solutions already exist and more will come soon anyway. It's just technology after all. The problem now is not for the mice, it's a matter of defending basic human rights.
In short: everything and everyone is suspect and need to approved by technocratic superior authorities and zealot private organizations. Yesterday China, USA, Russia, UK, India etc and today the EU aligning with North…
I learned that the core of science and engineering is the ability to understand and control the systems that we build. This obviously involves complex tools, that need to be mastered too. Modern AI seems to be able to…
Can you please elaborate? What docker compose offers that a quadlet based deployment cannot match?
I'm happily using quadlets as a lightweight container orchestration tool for few months now and i also think it deserves more attention. RH is doing a great integration job pushing the systemd ecosystem. As many…
