1·2 days agoYep! You got it 👍 It probably won’t, but it costs me all of a few milliseconds to a few seconds. I’m a cynic, but not a defeatist.
I should probably write a blog post about it. Basically it’s there to possibly get commercial LLMs in trouble for scraping licensed stuff. LLMs have been tricked into revealing their training data and gotten in trouble for that. There are also ongoing lawsuits due to those revelations. Maybe the most notable is the one against
Github’sMicrosoft’s CoPilot for spitting out licensed (GPL and also copyrighted from private repos) code.Whether the lawsuits will be successful or not is yet to be determined (Japan already considers nearly everything fair game for training AIs and machine learning). Whether they will have an impact if they are successful is also unknown. It just costs me a key-stroke (and the occasional response to a friendly question like yours), so I do it 🤷 Once all my hope is lost, I might stop.
From another answer. I highlighted the important part, which explains why the explicit link to the license text instead of it being implicit.
11·3 days agoDo you have another computer @bpt11@sh.itjust.works ? I’d make this my main if I didn’t have one. I’d use it as a builder for applications or host a CI server on it. Woodpecker or similar. I know codeberg is looking for CI hosts. Maybe @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com might also have some input on joining the AI horde :)
Or, seed some torrents from the internet archive or Anna’s Archive.

Edit: LGTM
I think his dude would be better er served by radicle. He can host his seed node, people can push their branches into namespaces in the bare git repositories there, they can request that those branches be merged into a branch in his namespace, they can create tickets that are all stored in the git repositories, comments on patches/merge requests/etc. are also in git, he can add trusted contributors, and so on.
People don’t have to create an account. Just a public key pair on their machine and they are off to the races.
I don’t know his email, but somebody could mail him and make him aware of radicle.

Don’t we have enough clothes on the planet to clothe every person here? What the fuck do we need to produce anymore? Buy second hand and we should be set.
Also, how is surveillance going to help? Seems like a useless expense.
Hmm, did you read the links I posted?
Sure, what meta did is fucked up, but they are being sued. Just because someone ignores the law, does that mean that we should just stop doing something?

102·4 days agoNope. I’d report and block them. Looks like spam to me.
Falsehoods US programmers believe about languages
The US-centric, anglo-saxon centric worldview strikes again 😮💨 For those us that speak multiple languages, many of these are revelations…
Also, if they are, it’s best to add examples, otherwise these are just random claims without any sources to back them up.
The interview process being broken doesn’t mean the job is broken/useless. It’s shitty IMO that Columbia university wants to take “disciplinary action” for exposing useless interviewing practices. It would’ve been better to tell Roy about ethics and say “If you want to do this kind of stuff, that’s fine, but here’s the way to do it. In fact you can continue doing this at our university and make a career out of it. Let’s talk.”
And Amazon’s reaction is also dumb (as expected). They should instead be hiring this dude to improve their interviewing practices by letting him build internal tooling to try and defeat the interviewing process. Of course they won’t do this because there is a certain prestige in getting a FAANG job. Keeping recruiting costs low but interest high with a high rejection rate is the goal for recruiting.
I’m not quite sure there’s a winner in this triangle, except those outside it: this might force companies to change their recruitment practices. My guess is that there will be a lot of resistance first and more money will be spent on “fraud detection” than actual improvements. It will be a cat and mouse game with probably the companies losing, but at least some C-suite bastard will get rich selling the fraud detection solution 🤷
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Getting people off of proprietary stuff is the first step. Whatever else is the next step.
Fuck off. Nobody really believes that, and of they do, they are clueless. Microsoft can be forced by the US government to turn over data on any client: that means on nearly any government on the planet. The EU better give up their US addiction before it gets terminal.
