RE: https://ehlo.exim.org/@bernardq/116851178355484115 Reports we believe are LLM generated will either be rejected outright or if thought to be plausible will be credited to the unnamed and uncredited authors whose works were ingested as the training corpus. power move

walked into a charity shop… … and had to walk out again, giggling

i finally dared to look at the threatening AWS emails, and paid… all $5 of it. and then closed the account.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca tired, exhausted, still unemployed and applying to a giant luxury hotel with horrific employee attrition, because it's just a job, as opposed to wading thru LinkedIn and trying to find an IT job that isn't with or for AI.

Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as Python, YAML, and shell scripting. remember, YAML Ain't Markup Language, it's a scripting language.

@swelljoe@mas.to @icing@chaos.social eh… either way, it used to be every time a new developer looked at a corner of a code base that hasn't been touched in 10, 20, 30 years we get, at the very least a bug fix a refactoring and at least one new person who's now familiar with that code… ⬅️ and the loss of this is perhaps the most frustrating part

i should fork creative commons and expand on this

@cwebber are you even be allowed to call yourself trans if your aren't?

@clickhere@mastodon.ie the state of… infrastructure on this island makes me sad, so so sad

@clickhere@mastodon.ie i lived in (depending on how you count) four different countries in Europe, and the infrastructure here feels markedly worse than in the one i fled from war from

@vickyrampin@digipres.club yes but it's got nothing on the scale that LLM crawlers are operating on or the scale on which LLM bots are contributing (absolute garbage) back to open source projects or Wikipedia twelve people ripped CDs from the library, this week alone! vs: a swarm of bees flew the distance from the earth to the sun to fill this jar of honey now imagine this swarm having scan books and rip CDs from your library, but when they come back to return them, they also leave new books and new CDs, most of them with valid looking barcodes and NFC tags, none of which are in the system because they were created that afternoon and of course this isn't just happening at your library, but at every library and some of the branches, some over eager new employee decided to start adding these new books and CDs to the system and soon your library is more the scale at which these things are happening is incomprehensible to humans, and the computer systems we built are crumbling under the load, but the human systems that we built are failing at the same time as well

@mjd you speak like somebody who's never chucked a computer out a window

@speaktrap@mastodon.com.pl @hailey@hails.org somebody should submit a patch with https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/makefiles/#makefile-naming-revepoch but also, there's https://www.freshports.org/net/openrsync/

@peter my first coding job, i was still at school back then, was to help a team of physicists in Spain fix up their PHP application that was doing… I don't really remember what any more, but the way it did those things was quite memorable: It was the most convoluted spaghetti code I've ever seen. legit never seen anything this bad ever, and i had to extend it, while ensuring it doesn't break I don't remember if i succeeded, only that it was scarring. i don't think anyone could have succeed… really not looking forward to this being the new normal

@xinicit@beige.party literally the reason why I don't have an onlyfans

@ln @uint8_t @rmi a masterpiece, thank you

@f4grx@chaos.social @foone@digipres.club i am a trans parent I'm also bisexual and also invisible, i guess

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems @nedbat@hachyderm.io I'm very glad I'm not the only non-human…

@jonny@neuromatch.social @aaribaud@piaille.fr now "reading the thing" is for wizards, who's brains then are drained to feed the machine.

@halla@kde.social damn that was good makes me wanna give Ulysses a try

@stdevel@chaos.social kennst du schon @stsp@bsd.network ?

@hola_soy_milk@hola-soy-milk.online this used to happen to me so often (thinking about Christopher Walken)

@samir@mastodon.functional.computer @chewie@mammut.gogreenit.net or that two extremely conservative American institutions (Visa and Mastercard) control whether sex workers and queer artists can get paid

@icing@chaos.social (tech) journalism at its best

@db@social.lol TIL, thanks to your website: there's a Web Speech API holy cow that's… sensible. who in the w3c made a sensible API??

@icing@chaos.social i only got like ten… i'm somewhat surprised it's just that, but i guess my last commit has been over ten years, so it makes sense

@markwyner@mas.to hard to say. there's things i will change, for sure, but the contrast is… interesting to say the least i should upload their CV to my website to be able to share and talk about it properly.

@markwyner@mas.to I was recently referred to an agency that does this kind of thing, and I got my CV and cover letter back yesterday and it's so bizarre to read this CV with the same experience as me who seems to confident in their competence

@uint8_t @rmi yes! great! now do one for rust

@uint8_t @rmi you know what to do: https://marshdeer.github.io/xkcd2501-generator/

@f4grx@chaos.social @foone@digipres.club it was meant in jest, but apparently not very well executed.

@bobmagicii but your code is still publicly available? if so it can be scraped by robots…

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe why?

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st i wonder if this is one of these language barrier things like doctors say flu and mean the really bad thing and scientists say theory and mean the thing that their entire work rests on and normal people hear them and don't take them serious

@lauren gonna be really interesting to see what the different downstreams choose to do…

@janneke@todon.nl @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @jordan@sometimes.social as always, when we talk about the FSF, my first thought is: "what's the FSFE's stance on this?"

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe and what's traceback look like?

@aphyr@woof.group I've been thinking that open source is over, for me, because I was burnt out, now I'm back (to not being completely burnt out) and i think it needs to be over with for everybody: https://cathode.church/@meena/116456414299504464

@dianea@lgbtqia.space @quixoticgeek@social.v.st the last interview i had was thanks to a direct contact in the department who recommended me for the job. even then i had to apply thru the usual channels, and was, naturally, rejected thru them. it was only thanks to being in contact with the person who recommended me that i actually got to the interviews (and was then rejected thru those channels, too) that was in mid December. nothing since.

@civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr I feel like this is a different process that the pass phrase passing between decrypting two disks during boot process that i use, but my laptop is too far away to verify

@arclight@oldbytes.space same: https://cathode.church/@meena/116456414299504464

@nedbat@hachyderm.io wonder if it's firefox that's broken in this case, or if the developer only tested this in Chrom(ium|e)

@cadey@pony.social nice

@ChuckMcManis@chaos.social we can sue people right now already if we want legal open source stuff, enforced by licenses, I want to be able to successfully sue corporations (without bleeding myself financially to death)

@dch machine learning is actually well suited to that kinda of task. what i mean is: somebody clueless with access to too much money letting an LLM loose on architecture and chip design
