jruohonen··on Meta latest to tell world its AI agent wandered out of test pen
From the related BBC article:

"Some commentators have questioned the timing of disclosures about the incidents as tech firms wrestle for dominance in AI development."

And, if marketing, is it good marketing?

jruohonen··on China's tech advances are causing chaos from Silicon Valley to the White House
I wonder how banning open source would work? RSA t-shirts?
jruohonen··on How to Spot AI Writing
Indeed. For instance:

https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/H...

But---as you may know---not all languages and national typographic conventions even have em dashes; instead, en dashes are used -- for instance like this -- in-between sentences, etc.

jruohonen··on AI labels to be compulsory on authentic-looking content under EU rules
For once, sounds like almost everyone agrees.

jruohonen··on LinkedIn Introduces a 'Seems Like AI Slop' Button
Please provide that also elsewhere (like, say, science), thanks.
jruohonen··on Another Wave of Malicious AUR Packages, Package Adoptions Halted
So, I wonder, is there anything anyone actually needs from AUR risk-wise?
jruohonen··on Hooray for the Sockets Interface
> How so?

Standards as well as all manual pages and other documentation say that getaddrinfo() should be called via a loop by clients. And results show that almost all clients indeed do that. Therefore, on the server-side, you can do round-robin DNS, randomization (as suggested by the post linked), fall-backs, CDN things, and many other things.

jruohonen··on Hooray for the Sockets Interface
> This is a severe limitation.

Rather, it is a feature.

jruohonen··on Now is the time to give LLMs access to the ACM digital library
So much misinformation in this thread.

jruohonen··on Internet is no longer accessible?
> Cloudflare

Recently I noticed that many have broken their RSS feeds too by putting the feeds behind this CDN too.

jruohonen··on Three Theses on the Literacy Crisis
> getting the grade that gets you the paper that gets you the job that gets you the money is the point, for them.

But then there still is a lever, I suppose, including for reading.

jruohonen··on The Hideous Duty of Isaiah Berlin [pdf]
Thanks! For me, I found it interesting because several of Aalto's buildings were today selected as UNESCO's heritage sites, and I have mixed feelings about his work (at least some of it).
jruohonen··on Art Can and Should Be Measured
> ... how that could end up.

But, well, that scene in Clockwork Orange was art.

jruohonen··on Ban on broadcasting: EU Court clarifies that it also applies to free websites
Even though I haven't read the actual ruling, speculatively, it seems like a dangerous precedent. For instance, search engines and LLM-powered search might now be liable too, including with respect to training data. Science too, maybe.
jruohonen··on Purging George Orwell's books misses what drives the political right
I suppose he saw also this coming. Ref.:

jruohonen··on Show HN: Beautiful QR Codes
Nice idea! Simple but no one has done it previously, so that counts. (As per some posts, I stand corrected, but still, I believe no one has done it as an implementation.)

jruohonen··on Woodruff: You shouldn't trust trusted publishing
Good discussion, for and against.

Now, finally, maybe I'd join, but, on a second thought, no thanks, still.
