A good primer on the main architecture traits of transformer models.

More an experiment than something I'd recommend for real. Still it shows there's a gap we need to close in the licenses available. Let's hope the OSI and the FSF will do strong moves toward closing this gap.

There's a path to get people (children included) to get into technology with enough of the veneer of convenience to make sure it is a learning experience... While keeping it pleasurable.

Indeed the trend wasn't new. It's "just" the icing on the cake from the enclosure point of view.

Cold and harsh look at how the C++ standard library evolves. There's indeed a problem in the fact that nothing gets removed ever.

Some of the examples lean on macro trickery. Still this gives a good example of the flexibility you get with the trait system.

Things which matter take time. The calls to productivity and technology pushing us toward faster response on everything is killing what makes our humanity.

Good primer on systemd timers. Indeed it's really one of the nice systemd features.

Mind those traps when dealing with such a database. There are locks you don't necessarily expect.

Indeed, if the rsync maintainer can't handle a coding assistant properly... who can?

Good summary of how the terms evolved. They are more tied to each other than most people think.

There was an era of hybrid techniques in video games before it mostly went full real-time 3D. It gave interesting results, here is an example.

Good point, disabling asserts in production is not the best default position to have.

When Amnesty International feels like it has to publish a 44 pages briefing pointing out what's wrong with your approach and business... it'd be nice to pay attention.

Indeed, teams reach out to Yocto by default a bit too much. It's good to have an idea on when you really needed and when you can go for simpler options.

Good point indeed, need to review my own feed next time I get the chance.

Good point, the booing on Eric Schimidt's commencement speech is likely not just about him talking about AI at some point. You see, the man has very heavy baggage... He's one of the architects of the current dystopia but won't acknowledge it.

Very interesting take. This gives very valid ground on why tech communities should reject AI based contributions. Not doing so will indeed hinder the commons communities rely on to exist and improve. This is a path to prevent getting better at inclusivity and diversity (which is really needed).

The writing isn't perfect, but it covers quite a few important topics in Rust. Seems to be a nice resource even though it's still work in progress.

This is clearly the Ouroboros moment in our industry. People pushing for such restructuring and layoffs are drinking the kool-aid and will ultimately be responsible for killing what put them there in the first place.
