Too many articles are written comparing LLMs to high-level languages. Sure, if you squint enough, both has to do with computers. But that comparison misses everything that is important about LLMs. High-level languages are about higher abstr

The comment you replied to said "significant portion of" and I believe it is clear which portion that refers to: the culture around c, linux, vim and bash, not things like nodejs, java and (semi-open-source) elasticsearch which ar

Just to clarify: Most AI companies don't own their hardware, with a select few exceptions. That's why a handful of hyperscaler stock has rallied recently on letters of intent on large orders from AI companies. Which technically is

He says a lot of things. We also need to vote for separatist parties across Europe for that to happen. Not at all clear why, unless someone confused nirvara and apartheid.

The weird thing is that the AI companies themselves are hiring like there's no tomorrow, doing talent aquisitions etc. Why would you do that if the purpose of your product is to reduce necessary workforce? Why isn't that the first

That is not an accurate description. Debian, and indeed most projects, do not control the download servers you use. This is why security is end-to-end where packages are signed at creation and verified at installation, the actual files can

Sure you can. "No you can't look" is the key. All those blocks which hasn't moved in many years? They're all ours. Pinky promise.

The replied to comment seemed skeptical to treat musical notation as text. But any reasonable definition of "text" should include musical notation. Otherwise it would be hard to include other types of obvious text, including compl

It is, and other software handling untrusted data should also treat it as adversarial. For example, your package tool should probably not output raw package metadata to the terminal.

These are not vulnerabilities in the "remote exploit" sense. They should be taken seriously, you should be careful not to run local software on untrusted data, and GPG should probably do more to protect users from shooting themsel

Another important reason to move to online applications is that you can change the terms of the deal at any time. This may sound more nefarious than it needs to be, it just means you do not have to commit fully to your licensing terms befor
