And most times as developers we don't even realize it happens! It's so conveniently hidden deep in most libraries or runtimes.

The hype is very high right now indeed. This can lead only to misguided decisions. But really it's mostly distraction from the massive ethical concerns this industry carries. It would require for policymakers to step up but I'm afraid it unfortunately won't happen or they'll come up with misguided attempts if they don't first consult with field experts.

Looks like an interesting model to build decision assistance systems and classifiers.

Goes maybe a tad too far in the opposite direction at times leading to clunky phrases. That said this effort of naming things properly is badly needed. I hope the media will seize it and report about those tools properly.

Interesting initiative. I wish it'll be popular and many people will follow it. Maybe it'll cure some of them of their AI psychosis.

So apparently the low adoption is due to the lack of trust in the systems and regulations could help? Who knew...

So many weird magic numbers to consider... Funny conversation around the one of Java class files.

This mostly fine advice. Managing requires acknowledging emotions otherwise you can't lead effectively. Don't get dragged too far into it though, you're not a therapist.

Don't be like those companies! I wish there'd be more responsible handling of such requests.

It was only a matter of time I guess. Another vehicle of the attention economy. They're trying to monetise through advertisements.

Wondering about the differences between union types and sum types? This gives a good idea about what they are.

Now this look like a very interesting and useful model you can run locally. Definitely helps for classification tasks or assisting in decision making.

There's really something brewing at AMD. They're on a roll performance wise.

Bad actors clearly want to compromise supply chains. Stay safe and keep your eyes open.

They claim fair use in public court but they know full well what they've been doing.

The article it refers to is interesting as well of course. Still it shines a crude light on the biases it has. We might have a way to fund libraries available via registries. That's a good thing... But it ignores a lot of what Free Software is about. We need solutions for more software than just a specific family of libraries.

Answering a letter with important questions. LLMs can indeed be disruptive to learning, to be handled with care.

It's about time that it got fixed... This was really a language defect.

Indeed it's a very good new type of maps in many cases. Again a good illustration that nowadays memory layout is often more important than algorithmic complexity.

This essay is fairly US centric but since other countries used the US surveillance apparatus as a blueprint for their own it's widely applicable. It's 25 years of failures and constitutional hazard, maybe it's time to finally respect the right to privacy? Or are our governments too hooked to controlling the population and hunting dissent?
