Fortunately, Codeberg is not free software. It's a service provider providing a service. They themselves can be as non-neutral and non-free as they like. The software beneath it all remains free. Seriously, just host your own Forgejo i

The fun thing about communities is they can allow or disallow whoever they want, and if you don't like their decisions you can find a community more closely aligned with you. Codeberg is a service.

No one's guaranteed to third-party hosting or communities. The software is there. Host it. If no third-party or community wants to take you in, then I suppose you're going to have to start one for like-minded people. If there aren

I thought "don't like it, fork it" was the open source credo? You don't have to trust them as stewards. Fork and maintain it yourself then.

Is this the same Anthropic speaking as the one that's constantly terrified their newest thing is too dangerous and might destroy humanity (now available for $20/month or pay-as-you-go usage credits)?

Weird how every new model seems hyped up as the most dangerous yet and the one that will destroy society as we know it. They are also a commercial product.

Just 5 more years and $500 billion more, bro. We're still so early.

Your second paragraph appears to be 3 different instances of saying "X does not necessarily point to productivity gains... but in the case of AI, X definitely means productivity" without really saying why that is true or why other

> The way I see it, AI is going to change the world radically. It could be for the worse, the better, or a mix of both, but in my mind there's no doubt. Worthless statement. Wow, you suspect something can make things better, worse,

> In every of these threads there's a bunch of snarky comments, either acting like this class of attack is exclusive to npm, or that nothing has been done about it. I don't think that's fair. I mean it keeps happening lmao

Plus the dozens of other means of changing a website's styling from the user's side. Does anything wrap up the AI craze more succinctly than boldly calling AI the perfect use case for an already-solved problem?

Right? Yeah, everything's decoupled and "flexible", but if your stack is dependent on half a dozen different third parties uninterested or uninvested in your project, you gotta watch like a hawk for when those services decide

I was assured last week that things like this are fine and we should be responsible adults by settling for "good enough" when it comes to self-driving cars. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48226864

Yeah, nothing to suggest that here. We went from some commits every so often (because rsync was basically finished software) with a handful of issues a month, to "a bajillion Claude commits then a release" with a pile of issues wi

> using chips for AI is bad. Chips should be used for good things like playing video games This is correct. Playing Final Fantasy XIV has done exponentially more good, and provided more value, than anything LLMs have ever produced. Thank

I may have to break the news to you that the LMGTFY was also rude. Both LMGTFY and AI copypastes are rude and dismissive answers that are intended to make the person asking the question feel stupid and bad. It only provides value in making

I thought the LLM promise was that people could do things easily because conversation is the most intuitive input there is. If we still have to "figure out how to get it out", what if we put that educational effort into... I don&#

Famously honest and on-the-level company Meta, who we can parrot the word of uncritically and unquestioningly.

And also: AI is basically the only thing anyone is talking about. Yeah, Uber existed and it's known about and was advertised and such. It has not overwhelmed every topic ever like the current LLM mandate has been. People are getting si

Indeed. I've heard a lot of words about how trivially easy vibe coding makes building software, and how just about anyone can build something in no time at all anymore. Even stuff about how people will vibe code one-off private softwar
