@ell1e what dissapoints me most is the fact that the exact same issues with slopilot were found already in 2021 (the infamous fast inverse square root algorithm, ref: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/74137/who-owns-the-right-to-the-code-generated-by-github-copilot) and people just chose to ignore that. Slopilot could have stopped embarrassing itself in those 4.5 years.
Apparently, instead they declared Q_rsqrt a bad word instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/ph6irk/githib_copilot_put_q_rsqrt_on_the_indecent_words/
(I mean, that is a win for us who don't like AI, but I'm losing faith in this discipline…)

@palomakop I run Forgejo on a cheap VPS and the crawlers were there, but I decided that I don't need to have web frontend to the complete history, so I just serve 403 for browsing individual commits based on a URL pattern match and used to make the load rather low (they all tended to look into all the past revisions). Didn't even bother with Anubis, mostly because I was lazy to learn it and didn't want to wait for the challenges.
I don't know why or when, but apparently they don't scrape me anymore? It used to be a constant stream in the logs (several in a second), now I see like one request in the 5 minutes. (Thank you for making me update my mental picture of how the bot abuse goes now!)

@lewd Well, there probably is a reason Leo Express did not want them in the end. I didn't ride a Sirius yet, though, nor have I read any particularly bad reviews (nor good ones, either) – I think it is kinda known here they are not quality built and have a bit silly interior layout. And they serve a regional line now, so having a low floor was an improvement from the traditional coaches.
From what I see around myself, the reaction is mostly “huh, a cheap trainset” without any blown up expectations. Which is probably fair, businesswise.
The #HumanRights issue is a valid one, yes. And after the remote kill switches have been found in Norwegian #Yutong buses, I think more imports from #China are going to undergo some longer checks, which may (hopefully) be prohibitive for buying new trains from there. (Across Czechia there are several tenders for new trainsets that are expected to be certified by years 2029-2033 (writing from memory, might be off), which is not that long given how much time it took to certify Siriuses…)
Also, I am not aware about any upcoming contracts with #CRRC nor them competing in the recent tenders, but that might just not be publicly known.

@iris_meredith Thank you for this!
(Also it feels a bit unsettling how relatable your post is, uhhh… and I guess that might be a good thing actually?)

@stux A better alt: a video showing various weapons firing and a (probably not very accurate) estimate of how much they cost (usually hundreds of thousands of USD or over a million). Into each (video) shot there is a label added about other uses of the money, like “Universal healthcare would be too expensive”, “There isn't any money in the budget for universal pre-K”, “We are introducing a bill to cut Social Security”
Anyway, nice comentary!

@EUCommission I am happy that you are here! Though I am not sure whether posting here and rarely replying to replies counts as “community”.
(Also, I think the EC's instance has some issues with #IPv6?)

@kasperd
i stopped reading at the “anonymity” of addresses. whois databases are to my knowledge pretty much public and tacking ASN to the address does literally nothing to avoid malicious actors hiding behind VPNs, other vulnerable machines and/or random residential addresses (hello genAI scrapers in summer)

@q@glauca.space @cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social I think the recitals are still considered in the court in case of doubts. So that might mean that training on timetables is expressly allowed.

@dalias@hachyderm.io Oh this is so awesome! Thanks to this I learned that it is possible to Rickroll a Python user (i.e. anyone who launches anything that is run using Python) at very unexpected times just by placing 83 bytes into the right file in the user's home directory.
Yes, this is a horrible misfeature.

@technomancy@icosahedron.website For the record: I found #Pleroma also easy to self-host. The only bigger issue was geting recent #Elixir on #Debian, but in the end it was not too difficult.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Would probably do that too. I need to recreate the environment of my colleagues to be able to properly support them :3

@lina@vt.social @dramforever@mastodon.social why does it feel like people, even those supposed to be tech savvy, just don't care about what they are doing and how the things they do is supposed to work? it's extremely stupid for secret generation, but even for stuff like “how do i convert X to Y” i tend to get search results for webpages that do that for me (serving me ads and possibly some malware), instead of the one-liner that is actually doing the same thing…
like, i guess understanding the sheer complexity of computers is not easy, especially when self-taught (i started like 15 years ago, have some formal education in IT and still have stuff i don't understand properly). but not understanding who a secret is shared with and why it shouldn't is possibly a next level…
