@danirabbit I’m convinced that I should be donating to @elementary - link is https://elementary.io/get-involved#funding if anyone wants to join me
@ElenLeFoll skipping straight to William like Windows skipped to “10”

@jonocarroll great post - I've also got on my todo list to look at mage.ai - https://www.mage.ai - since the coding blocks support #rstats and I got them to support renv::use() back in the day for packages needed by the block

@Lightfighter some curves might show a slight Nixon or Bush wiggle but yep yep (shakes head vigorously)

@sonjdol what technology? Spark clusters with a data modeling layer feeding models and a low/no-code app building capability? Palantir software is not all that and a bag of chips. And there were so many educated women in that app and data pipeline development business.

@_elena I thought journa.host was the main journalist server - worth looking through the profiles for both!

@ScottishGreens oh, I really wish we would have moved to Scotland years ago when we attempted to leave America for Europe. I’d be a Scottish Green voter by now…

@baldur@toot.cafe I explored this same issue with edgePython a while ago

@inthehands this just makes me love the fediverse even more - played great on standard web client (hachyderm.io). That said, if we are talking 5/4 music then XTC's English Roundabout is more my jam. I'd have to change the lyrics to something more "long long ago in a distant galaxy" appropriate.

@djnavarro@fosstodon.org This is awesome - I'm currently using {checkmate}which is mentioned in the "three other packages for this but a girl only has so many rhymes in her" category.

@dan@discuss.systems This is kind of content I expect from the Fediverse - and I *LOVE* it - thank you!

@danirabbit pretty soon they won’t let you adjust the date forward on your computer in order to beat the age range verification
Replacing #aiSafety with #gunSafety in sentences makes me realize more and more that the problem is human behavior and just ... safety.
If the AI-generated code is so great, why do I not have a version of R that supports 64-bit integers!!!
Read the @404mediaco@mastodon.social article and then watched the FOSDEM video as well. Literally came here to say "AI generated code is public domain" and the side comment is that "AI generated code is not CVE-free" (well, it might be for a short period of time...)
The next (April) #BioTech #Minnesota Networking event in the #TwinCities is set for Mon April 13th (6-8pm) at Lake Monster Brewing (where it all started!)

@thatdnaguy@genomic.social nope - 32 bit integers and 64 bit decimals (which then only have so many bits of precision)

@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social the “ai agent” cannot own the copyright on the code it produces so that might be one reason not to add anything to the author list - that said any code produced needs to be identified as you might have to check if it was copied from any training code (and the license requirements of that code). pyOpenSci and rOpenSci just wrote up new policies on this.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social who regulates this? Can they force this to stop or take them down?
