And unlike a regular Linux distro, you’ll have zero leftover systemd units or config files floating around in your FHS dirs. (You’ll have the binaries for Gnome sitting in /nix/store until you do a GC, so you can still quickly switch back if you want to.)

The seal looks like this:

Code completion is probably a gray area.

Those models generally have much smaller context windows, so the energy concern isn’t quite as extreme.

You could also reasonably make a claim that the model is legally in the clear as far as licensing, if the training data was entirely open source (non-attribution, non-share-alike, and commercial-allowed) licensed code. (A big “if”)

All of that to say: I don’t think I would label code-completion-using anti-AI devs as hypocrites. I think the general sentiment is less “what the technology does” and more “who it does it to”. Code completion, for the most part, isn’t deskilling labor, or turning experts into chatbot-wrangling accountability sinks.

Like, I don’t think the Luddites would’ve had a problem with an artisan using a knitting frame in their own home. They were too busy fighting against factories locking children inside for 18-hour shifts, getting maimed by the machines or dying trapped in a fire. It was never the technology itself, but the social order that was imposed through the technology.

Idk, given the current state of the… everything, it might be an improvement. Let em cook.

Also worth noting that you need to be on US soil in order to apply for asylum. It’s common for migrants to cross the border without permission and immediately turn themselves in, because it’s the only reliable way to initiate an asylum review.

If they are later granted asylum, would you still consider that illegal?

I hate this timeline so much

Like AI companies care about business ethics

only a tool

“The essence of technology is by no means anything technological”

Every tool contains within it a philosophy — a particular way of seeing the world.

But especially digital technologies… they give the developer the ability to embed their values into the tools. Like, is DoorDash just a tool?

Cuz health insurance and health care are both very expensive fields, and they’re in opposition to each other, so they both tend towards monopoly.

And from the consumer’s perspective:

• It’s hard to predict your health care needs
• It’s hard to comparison shop during a health emergency
• It’s hard to predict how your health care will get coded to the insurer

Not crypto. Just digital. So, centralized, subject to anti-fraud regulation, reversible transactions, etc.

Not loaned out. Explicitly marked as not-loanable. Which would be foolish in today’s market, because you’re losing out on a dividend. Except… the bank actually keeps most of the benefit from your deposit being loanable normally. This way, you get the benefit instead.

Basically, it allows depositors to compete against the banks. So they can’t take you for granted, because you actually have alternative.

14kB club: “Amateurs!!!”

https://dev.to/shadowfaxrodeo/why-your-website-should-be-under-14kb-in-size-398n

a 14kB page can load much faster than a 15kB page — maybe 612ms faster — while the difference between a 15kB and a 16kB page is trivial.

This is because of the TCP slow start algorithm. This article will cover what that is, how it works, and why you should care.
