I don't think I said that? All I wanted to say was that it was very much in character for him and that I'm not surprised.

@kinnison
He's never been much into the philosophical side of open source. For him, all that matters is that the code works.

Here too: he doesn't care how the code came to be, as long as the person submits it vouches for the quality.

He will tell at you in typical Linus fashion if you get it wrong and don't review the LLM output, of course.

@ariadne
OIC. Well I don't have the skills for that.

Also my first computer was a boring x86 P1, so there is that.

@ariadne
And it still works?

The first one I bought like that has given the ghost ages ago...

Belgian law allows you to do what is called a "wilsverklaring" (declaration of desire) where you can say while you're still sound of mind that you want to be euthanized under certain given circumstances.

It requires that you nominate a person to make the final decision, and you still have to go through all the other (nontrivial) legal requirements, but it is possible and I know people who have done it.

@suihkulokki I don't know what to say except "Oh yes absolutely very much so couldn't agree more you couldn't be more right" etc.

Jira's "rovo" AI agent has very strong clippy vibes.

It feels to me more like they figure out where the best possible location would be for the cable to be plugged in without effort, and then make a standard that allows for anything but that location.

@hyc
By definition, yes. Flak stands for 'FLuchAbwehrKanone', which is German for 'air defence cannon'... 🤷

@dysfun
I find LLMs might be considered a meta programming tool: you tell it what to do, it does that and nothing more. If there are gaps in your prompt, it will not intelligently fill them up or ask you for clarification, like an intern might; instead it will find the absolute worst thing to do and it will do that. Confidently.

Don't treat it like an intern, treat it like a compiler with a bad case of nasal daemons.

I chose tech bro in part because of the Alpine connection.

Yes, I know that's not what tech bro means, but it was the closest to how I perceive you: someone who is actively known for working on technology.

You should have added 'open source celeb' to the list, would have been much better then 😂

@liw
<evil grin> use an LLM to interpret the CI definition and ask it to generate an overengineered stub that simulates your CI environment and then call that every time?

(yes I've seen people do that 🤷)

Cache machine 🤔

I know it's just a typo but my brain now can't stop thinking about what a cache machine would be 😂

Genuinely one of the best reads I've had in a long while.

Thanks for that!

@foone
That's right there with Bobby Tables.

K9 and Thunderbird have merged. They appear to be the same except for branding.

I have had K9 on my phone forever. It went through a massive UI redesign during the merge, but I keep getting updates and that does not seem to change.
