My point is that the coding LLMs are another point on the reliability / ease of use spectrum. We already mostly moved to another point with HLL compilers from machine language. This is another leap where the transform is unreliable but

Yes Assembly is deterministic (barring severe hardware bugs). But that's the point. People are no longer writing Assembly.

A program touches a system file. Is it due to its own logic, or is it your editor saving a file?

I think you're confusing Corsair with Crucial/Micron.

A DMCA takedown is targeted at the host and is a pre-lawsuit thing ("we claim X and if you take it down now your host is safe" via the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions). If they escalate to lawsuits then not sure it's significantl

If only they were better at border control, maybe they wouldn't all get killed off.

It's painting border enforcement as somehow immoral. There is no sin in trying to be better at it than those before.

This kind of flawed thinking again. Like the natives didn't fight and lose wars against the manifest destiny types.

But it's got a separate entity providing paid support?

Surely that's "on" FreeBSD not "by" FreeBSD?

Micron is killing its Crucial consumer brand, not supplies to consumer brands who use its chips. Hynix never had a consumer brand for RAM I don't think?

That's just an example. It does have defaults: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.net.... (search for "If this method is not invoked")

You just said majority without any numbers in the original post. I think you'll agree that the calculus would be quite different for 60% vs 85% of effort being from a single company.

> This means that even though Red Hat, at this stage in it's development, has a majority of contribution, the project itself can never be taken over by a single entity. If it's one company with the majority of contributions the

If the goal is to stay away from US or European influence then the Russians would be a better bet.

Most likely to be a router, configured to fail over.

Also any app-specific bindings would I guess require some hooking (input interception / injection) at the software level.

Now there's an interesting challenge. A ROM that does a VM breakout and runs a command on the host.

by lmz 7mo ago
Yeah it's great if that's what you want to do. Whether it makes sense for any rando to do that is another question.

> Model rewrites remove much of specific human dimension Great. Isn't that part of being anonymous if one so desires? This would have decent potential to avoid stylometry deanonymization, no?

Maybe we'd see "coding gyms" like how white collar workers have gyms for the physical exercise they're not getting from their work.

Sure. And "lawful access" intercept capabilities are also required of telcos.

I guess it depends on the kind of "Linux" you want. Corporate IT will probably roll out RHEL or similar to the desktops, take away your root access, and install a virus scanner too.

The case being discussed here is LibreOffice. Yes in general that is also true, but non paying users don't contribute anything. If they paid at least there's an expectation of fixes. Or at least the money can be used to hire a sep

I'm sure if the "stinky users" have a support contract then someone will be happy to look at any kind of report and try to triage or reproduce. Otherwise the least they can do is figure out Bugzilla signup.
