I've been reading and reading about DeVault for more than a decade now. If I can point to one person on the internet and definitively say that their today's version is better than a decade ago, it would be him. (Yes, I can say tha

Hallucination is all an LLM does. That is their nature, to hallucinate. We just happen to find some of these hallucinations useful. Let's not pretend that hallucination is a byproduct. The usefulness is the byproduct. That is what surp

As the other comment said, LLMs are not an abstraction. An abstraction is a deterministic, pure function, than when given A always returns B. This allows the consumer to rely on the abstraction. This reliance frees up the consumer from havi

simply staying on stable channel makes this a non-problem :) Besides, Nix is even better for such breakages. If GCC breaks you packages, the system does not build and never gets into broken state, all the while old system remains available

Hetzner charges extra for IPv4 address, as I believe most of them do. I know because I went through the same crap.

The morons who want to replace developers with these so called tools already feel like developers need babysitting. Partly because they suck at giving requirements or sticking to them or both. It will be fun to see them finding out the devs

LLMs did not destroy copyright. They inky destroyed copyright for the little guy. As I understand it, neither of the FAMANG have put their main codebase in training dataset. If I train an LLM on the leaked sources I'll get sued right d

Yes. I always licensed my projects under GPL variants. That contract was broken by LLM vendors. So now I'm taking my toys and going home. All my new projects are hosted on Sourcehut. I trust Drew when he says they are not letting LLM b

KDE has been lighter than GNOME for a few years now.. Their continuous iteration and polishing approach instead of break-the-world-and-remould-it-in-our-image approach from Gnome also shows up in any real-world use.

'forcing' anybody to do anything means they don't like doing it, usually because it causes them more work or headache or discomfort. You know, the exact opposite of what AI providers are claiming it does.
