@DziadekMick@mstdn.social @benno@eigenmagic.net @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange well, in France entrées are starters, as the name tells... What strange story lead USA to use entree for main course ?

@soatok@furry.engineer shit, i missed that. What a beautiful democracy where you only need to spend enough money to ask enough time to finally get the result you want

@RuthMalan@mastodon.social WELL AS I SAID, and as experienced right now, even "frontier" model like opus-5 doesn't have the least f**ing idea of a mental model of the software. You really have to spell it out things that are just obviously (in)consistent. It is very hard working and extremelly capable to follow codes, even between system borders, but it doesn't have any notion of coherence. It's just data and code.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @foone@digipres.club Recent I is on that post and doesn't like it

@RuthMalan@mastodon.social you can still learn interesting things : we use llm to explore code in mob programming. The llm do the heavy greping, the knowledgeable people explain why it is so, sometimes (ok, every time) we find inconsistencies. Also "agent" are not pure llm anymore. The llm is more like a query engine in natural language that relies on deterministic tools (compilers, etc) to do things. So for our Scala/rust/elm functional programing stack, the guards are ok. It still needs heavy guidance for design, but the mechanical chores are ok. It doesn't change anything on all other aspects (energy, training, monopoly building, bubble, etc etc). And for the mental model of the code, perhaps we will get there. We are not. Even with its memories and skills and etc, the agent needs to be checked on all like of code.

@Viss @lfzz there's several very interesting points in that article : of course the hype about mythos was over-the-top,actually it wasn't much better than cheap, specialized weighted models - and that's the important part for me, because automated models do help expert teams be much more efficient, so we are walking into a world where discovering vulnerabilities is much cheaper, with an asymmetry in cost (you need to be successful in finding a good vuln only once) And that create a massive incentive to a whole new classe of people, like spam in the age of cheap emails and hard counter measures, or scam, or cryptolocker/cryptomoney as a good way to monetize vuln, or etc

@shemjm@social.vivaldi.net @DGI@graeber.social Aye. Its use at industrial scale in triangular trade is concomitant with the shift between renaissance and industrial age, the development of European colonialism and modern capitalism, and I think it's what you referred too in your post about "a few hundred years". But yes, if that's all, it's what I mean by "at first" : before we have a clear understanding about the externalities and long term impact, what wd aspire to be as humans, and the whole point of : it's not because something seems good for a moment that it was - all things considered -, and should be apply to all futur cases.

@shemjm@social.vivaldi.net @DGI@graeber.social i suspect you want to say that before capitalism, life was rubbish. If it's not that, sorry for misunderstanding, perhaps you could use that misunderstanding to wonder why people misunderstood you. So : even if you consider that European imperialism and capitalism helped fastened the transition from level 1 to level 4 of country demographic transition, you can understand that : something helping at some point doesn't mean it's the best solution, or even that it can be a bad option in other context. For example, we ignored at first the horror of slavery because having free manpower was cheap and easy and externalities didn't impacted privileged ones; we abused burning oil because almost free storable and movable power was cheap and easy (oh, a pattern) and then we were forced to considered the externalities (climate impact, etc)even in that context, there's huge differences between how capitalism is done. For ex, given a capital of underground oil, USA chose to privatise it and enrich a few, building a cast of privileged people fashioning laws to help them and bind others, while Norway chose to make it benefits its whole population, giving free medical care and affordable housing and other perks to its citizenin any cases, you must be careful when you judge past civilizations through the eyes of European colons. We rediscovere now (or stop to ignore) that cultures and practiced that looked inefficient and not modern by European colons standards were actually extremely well adapted and innovative for the context, or didn't understood private property in the same way but where sustainable and assured well being of its populations. If there's a thing that capitalism is not, it is symbiose with it's environment. At best, it's parasitic. we could also discuss how capitalism forced to put a price on "one hour of labour", and how it completely changed the relationship of people to time, and forced what is "correctly using time" upon everyone; - and how efficiency and automation applied at other things than cores (which is liberating) is often just a reason to force people do more with less time, and that capitalism come back to using at most (not at best), until rupture, resources, including humans. We can go on and on, I didn't even started to talk about emancipation and universalism

@0xabad1dea you very well pass what a good translation needs to be. My reference in that domain is Patrick Couton https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Couton He has a really awesome talent to find the correct French image, the correct french similar sounding location, the correct slang. Exactly what you explain with your color and stars etc. It's just amazing. And so Pratchett will remain one of the English author I prefer to read in my own mother tongue 🤷 #classicalchinese #translation #localization #philosophy

@OllieBranch @puppygirlhornypost2 @ari yes, it has the correct vibes.

@dpk but we will correct the bug with AI ! We will correct the bugs with AI right ? [insert Padme/Anakin meme]

@alice @actuallyautistic @aral#ActuallyAutistic #Autism #ASD #Trans #SelfDiagnosis #SelfDX #SelfDxIsValid #Research #Codeberg Thank you so much for these resources.

@sunguramy@flipping.rocks @sundogplanets@mastodon.social#SpaceX #nasa #space #earth #science #technology Well written and insightful for me. I hope it will be heard, but I really fear that the people who should care just don't care even about facts at that point

@bagder@mastodon.social#curl FFS, let say we go beyond the immense nonsense and factually wrongness of the sentence... But wow, it's its own league of WTF and entitlement... Let's use that to advertise the good work of Hoffmann / Nagle / Zhou about the economic value of open source : https://www.hbs.edu/ris/Publication%20Files/24-038_51f8444f-502c-4139-8bf2-56eb4b65c58a.pdf And thanks for sharing, it's such a great flag to rally people around the absurdity of considering maintainers of our IT world as hobbyists (given like an insult). Cc @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems who ranted about that recently for a Linux conf (https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/112273066215358639)

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt @Quenby@cutie.city I don't remember not having ublock on Firefox mobile, so a lot of time. Iirc, it was at some point the only existing plugin (perhaps it needed to enable a dev option though)

@arborelia@computerfairi.es @clacke it's its own league of amazing, thanks for sharing 😊

@jplebreton@mastodon.social ah, great, thank you ☺️

@tef@mastodon.social and this is beautiful

@ombremad yep, tout à fait, Macron c'est une machine à diaboliser la gauche et crédibiliser et donner le pouvoir effectif à l'extrême droite. Mais oui clairement. Macron aurait appelé à un grand front contre l'extrême droite, il aurait même pu virer LFI du gouvernement et continuer tranquillou ses politiques, en faisant planer la menace d'une autre dissolution et du grand méchant RN. Je pensais qu'il ferait ça car je pensais que ce que l'histoire retiendrait de lui était plus important pour son ego que d'être la parfaite âme damnée du capitalisme. Chuis naïf. Mais c'est complètement cohérent, IBM-1940 fashion : la gauche, ils veulent gérer correctement le budget, faire payer les riches et ils ont des sales idées d'Universalisme et de Justice. Pour des fan de ploutocratie, c'est largement pire que l'extrême droite, eux ils sont juste un peu plus extrême avec les humains, ils les exploite aussi pour défouler leurs pulsions primaires sans subir de conséquences. Et Castets, c'est le double inversé de Macron: une femme, qui est brillante et a réussi à rentrer dans plusieurs grande école, qui lorsqu'on lui propose refuse la voie financière pour aller taper de l'évasion fiscale chez Tracfin, qui crois en la mission du service public et aux fonctionnaires. C'était mort. Mais quand même, quel hypocrite sans limites.

@jplebreton@mastodon.social I can't find sources about that appart the usual "DoD neither says yes or no". Would you have any links, I'm really interested about that topic.

@sarahtaber There's no way that, as a French citizen who never went the USA, I can vote for you? I'm sure you would be an amazing Commissioner of Agriculture, the kind that Really Deeply Knows The Stuff and Make Progress Happens, not just do politician shenigand.

@greenpeace@mastodon.social this could be right if we weren't massively supplying all our solar panels to the same provider, and happily making them smart as in "we delegate operations to some China based IP". Supply chain is complicated, and we even managed to make git spof-centralized. Time for floss firmware and interoperable, open protocole ? Then yes, we can talk about resilience. Plus the #1 arg about "strengthening the grid" really miss the way energy grid are sync, see the recent Spain blackout - partly due to failing solar farms, and bad response, and missing pilotable electricity generator and inertia buffers

@simontatham@hachyderm.io oh, so it's not just me 😅

@stevenbodzin@thepit.social @anildash@me.dm when the torment nexus cautionary tale is not implemented just by error because of greed anymore, but by design, as the thing meant to be implemented

@Viss @lfzz oh yes, there's a special socio-economic chaos that happens when something price reaches 0, and we're not here yet. We are reaching the cheap-enough-to-create-big-opportunity-cost industrialized vuln discovery age. I totally see an economic building up around that, where some well funded bad actors have the possibility to train efficient specialized light weigh models (not mythos like, which are energy and money black hole, and so not interesting for earning money), then sell their older ones to a broader classes of bad actors, these models finally reaching script-kiddies like cost, where they will be tried on so many unprepared (or old, unmaintained) software and cases than enough will succeed

@matthieu@framapiaf.org @greenpeace@mastodon.social for Spain, it's not what I read in the mostly final report. Iirc, two solar plants want if grid for unknown reason. Then there was a sequence of bad decision about cutting branches of the grid, which ultimately lead to major resonance what could be absorbed because the grid buffer ratio is very low (ie, Spain miss a lot of stabilizers like inertia rotator, which are by construct available in gaz based turbine). Then they asked France for more power to stabilize the grid which was shutting down, and everything blew up with huge unwanted signal, and France cut down the link to avoid propagation to other part of eu. For the solar panel / inverters, until you can look into them, you're not sure. Plus, it's not because things start ok that convenience and laziness doesn't make them horrible. Smart (connected) inverters provide nice online services that you don't need to manage yourself. The village of my wife just made a common, pooled solar project where inhabitants can install panels and share prod. The whole thing (witch is really nice) uses a local provider which uses turn-key China solution, SaaS plateforme for the management included.

@matthieu@framapiaf.org the solar is the trigger (it could have been something else) but also the systemic enabler : solar (and wind) don't provide inertia buffer by construction like turbines, so you have to add them to the grid explicitly, which is not done because it's extremely costly and complexe and breaks the narrative about easy, clean energy and simpler grid. (Edit : it's relevant in the context of that thread because my point was that the quoted article was misunderstanding how electricity grid behaves, and that the benefits quoted are wishful thinking, and that we have existing case of what actually happen at system level for massively solard grid : more instability, not more resilience). For China and inverter and no Internet connection: well, perhaps, but the main stream is not going there, it's going toward "smart", managed systems. You personnaly might remain secure, but it will more and more means fighting mainstream (like linux circa 2000). And if you are in a quasi monopolistic system, the provider decide (like windows for supported hardware/bios behavior). And for the global supply chain : yes of course, but the fact that our politician and decideurs can't understand supply chain risk for SaaS is more an argument for "they won't understand it for solar" than against

@yogthos@mas.to @jimray@mastodon.social this is true, but you need to train individuals to recognize and want to fight (hard) and destroy the feedback loops leading to that system state, and that goes with individual actions. At scales. The only other way I know if is getting an individual to a place of power high enough but as you said, current system is not letting that kind of individuals reaching these positions (and betting on the benevolent master mind is bordering with magical thinking)

@XRob38@piaille.fr @turb@mamot.fr 👌 #CQFD

@sarahjamielewis and magnesium for me. But don't underestimate the chain saw, it's obviously central in good mood

@puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social it looks like the second best thing to judge a person, after how the behave for real in their actions. I don't get it can even be a question, especially if we take the broad meaning of "political"

@evacide@hachyderm.io oh, a techno-fascist manifest. I wonder if Thiel is freely giving away around tokens of great power, perhaps special built phone with access to unrestricted Palantir or something. "There was no sign, nobody could have known"

@mmby@mastodon.social building a death ray looks like a good incentive, better than "something something electricity". It is said it's for AI datacenters, so it seems coherent : arming the AI overlords
