"Just works" is not a mentality imposed by Microsoft, and has nothing to do with loss of control. It's simply (a consequence of) the idea that things which can be automated, should be. It is about good defaults, not lack of options.

It's not an article about LLMs not using dialects. In fact, they have learned said dialects and will use them if asked.

What they did was, ask the LLM to suggest adjectives associated with sentences - and it would associate more aggressive or negative adjectives with African dialect.

Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

All (racial) bias in AI models is actually a reflection of the training data, not of the modelling.

In September the NixOS constitutional assembly should finish their work, and the community will be able to elect governance. I'm guessing that's when the drama will start getting resolved.

In the meantime, there are multiple maintainers that have left because of the drama - which is more troublesome than the board members leaving - but nixpkgs has a LOT of maintainers, and there are new ones joining all the time. It's still healthy and won't implode so quickly.

15 hours for what period of time? The article mentions they'd refill in two days...

I like the idea, but I really hate that they've hardcoded the provider.

I'm somewhat skeptical. What if LetsEncrypt decided to misbehave tomorrow? Would the browsers have the guts to shut it down and break all sites using it?

It seems to me like a MITM hacker can just redirect all requests to a Blockchain node towards their malicious node.

Actually, that's not quite as clear.

The conventional wisdom used to be, (normal) porn makes people more likely to commit sexual abuse (in general). Then scientists decided to look into that. Slowly, over time, they've become more and more convinced that (regular) porn availability in fact reduces sexual assault.

I don't see an obvious reason why it should be different in case of CP, now that it can be generated.

How do you declaratively apply the configuration? Is that a feature of Kvaesitso?

AI that can auto generate all those command line arguments I keep forgetting? Sure.

Closed source terminal that requires account? No way.

What social contract? When sites regularly have a robots.txt that says "only Google may crawl", and are effectively helping enforce a monolopy, that's not a social contract I'd ever agree to.

 

This is a meta-question about the community - but seeing how many posts here are made by L4sBot, I think it's important to know how it chooses the articles to post.

I've tried to find information about it, but I couldn't find much.
