I'm honestly disappointed that this post got so much attention with such a dubious source. The article doesn't even link to a press release, as far as I can tell.

Dammit, beat me to it!

As in "lua rock"?

It surely was the "I'm so cool you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool.

Wait, are you saying that there is legal precedent for training an LLM with open source code to generate proprietary code?

I suppose if there were backers who would issue loans instead of investing in equity, the workers could form a cooperative. I don't think that would fully eliminate the risk of them getting fired (by each other), but perhaps it would be a start?

Interesting! If you don't mind me asking, what country are you in? I'm asking because I'm an American and I don't think I've ever heard of this.

Is there any particular reason why GNUstep is getting so much attention today, or are people just posting all these things in response to each other?

And talking about Kropotkin no less!

If Lemmy's voting system is incompatible with Mastodon & Pleroma, then does that also mean that reshares and Favorites from Mastodon or Pleroma won't count as upvotes in Lemmy?

How does it compare to the_silver_searcher?

Has the "running DOOM" meme gone too far?

Programmers and lawyers: together at last!

Okay, has it started to train on horror anime? (Don't you worry, it's safe for work.)

I know, I feel so bad for him.

Ah, I was wondering which anime they were referring to with this...

I'm not sure what the NCMEC partnership is about either. I'm just going to apply to the Spotlight position.

Thanks for this. This could be really useful.

Is it just me, or is humanizing these things so much itself kind of creepy? I prefer not to call Siri "she" for that reason alone.

Well, they contracted "edge" with "internal", so I think they mean network edge?

Something that I was struggling with just today. Of all the days to update Chrome... At first I thought my redirect was broken.

This reminds me of the browser extension TrackMeNot, which just spams search engines. https://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/

"gpg: "gpg" is now installed as "gpg" and not anymore as "gpg2". If needed, the new configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2 can be used to revert this."

Aha. I was wondering if this would be deemed a mere sequel to GPG 1 forever.

I've been interested in this project since they made themselves known on HN. Seeing that they're this committed to security makes me consider the possibility that they're for real and not just another fly-by-night.

You're just inviting the "decent text editor" joke, aren't you? ;-) But yes, if all you want is text editing I'm not sure what's better than Sublime. I've hard good things about VS Code lately, though.

Personally, I still really like Sublime. The GUI makes it very easy to pick up.

Only if we accept that racism is dead. To find proof to the contrary, we need only look to popular responses to videos of unarmed black men being killed by men with guns. And that's just scratching the surface.

That Murray was attacked during an unrelated talk is uncontested. My objection is that you referred to the defenders of centuries-old superstition as unorthodox simply because the cultural tide began to turn against them in the 20th century.

Orthodoxy is not a few people (correctly) arguing that we should STOP stating that black people are inferior. Furthermore, a Nazi who happens to be against a particular war is not "peaceful but unorthodox".
