  • Open on hachyderm.io

This profile is my 'fresh start' after Twitter/X.

Long time open source person and like others here I'm more naturally at home on social media like the Fediverse which is the meeting of open source technical values and the internet as it was at some mythical point in time 30 years ago!

Lover of books specifically fantastical books!

The biology of plants has always fascinated me, I'm such a scientist too. So happy when hiking!

Cape Town, South Africa

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk also as a developer, it might be hypocritical to say absolutely no to AI. There are some use cases that are compelling such as the way it can explain code to me or how can assist me with languages that I know but I am not good at yet for example rust. For these use cases I would want to use some AI. And I imagine this is true of other developers. Even Debian developers. And that would be responsible use AI, right? This would not be creating slop necessarily. I can understand that they also some cases where LLMs either by design, or due to insufficient oversight introduce security vulnerabilities into software and these I am concerned about. So, umm... How to get the balance right? An outright ban for me is too much. But if it is allowed in limited and restricted circumstances only, wouldn't you say yes to that?

@brian_greenberg@infosec.exchange I agree and almost boosted this post. The only concerning thing for me is that paragraph where each line starts with an emoji. Which is a sign that this post itself had some generative AI in its creation?

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz a well written article. The leading graph though... It's a standard deviation, but of what? The article makes the point that it is from actual experimental measurements. Could the math not be amplifying or distorting the signal here?

@Wen And isn’t it Ionic? Don’t you think? A little too Corinthian... And yeah, I really do think... It’s like ten thousand columns when all you need is a roof It’s a fluted shaft, that’s the ultimate proof It’s the good advice that Caesar didn't take Who would’ve thought? It figures! Edit: with apologies to Alannis Morisette and anyone here I may have confused

It's not even vibe plumbing. It's now become vibe camouflage.

Hats off to Paco Hope
@paco@infosec.exchange for the vibe plumbing and for https://mandatoryrollercoaster.com/ for the vibe construction where it all started.

@rbreich unfortunately this is exclusively an American perspective. Apple also gave Xi full access to iCloud backups in China for example.

@elly your post has sent me down a real rabbit hole today....! Thank you for reminding me of my Ubuntu Phone days. If you had to pick best hardware for postmarket, what device would it be, still rabbitting along looking for the answer to that and reading out of date things.

@cinnamon@mk.absturztau.be @codinghorror@infosec.exchange what an interesting study, and it perhaps indicates how to handle this kind of discussion. Although, I don't really want to behave like an extremist even if I'm being contrarian, and not sure if this is something I could earnestly pull off as a real human being. Perhaps easier done as an ad campaign.

@adhdeanasl@beige.party In the game of Go, atari is when a stone or group of stones is left with only one liberty. Which means, I guess that you've got stones
