ChatGPT is changing the way we write. Here’s how – and why it’s a problem.
  • Biggest issue I see is that these LLMs tend to repeat themselves after a surprisingly short number of times (unless they're sufficiently bloated like ChatGPT).

    If you ask any of the users of Sillytavern or RisuAI they'll tell you that these things have a long tail of not being very creative.

  • Elon Musk’s popularity plummets to 6% among Democrats, poll finds
  • It's important to take Tesla and SpaceX at face value and not to extrapolate future success based on what they've accomplished.

    Edit: for anyone that follows SpaceX's current shenanigans, seems like they've been using the FAA to scoot permits to launch without proper authorization from other agencies (notably the EPA)

    Shit is getting VERY juicy: https://fixupx.com/RepKiley/status/1839066996274516417

    They've even got representatives just kind of going along with their demonstrably false narrative for the ride.

  • All Proton Drive apps are now open source
  • Oh, yes but the DRM exemption clause means that you can backwards engineer the changes and continue releasing them under GPL

    Edit: as an example we should probably be looking at the duckststion situation evolving right now:

    https://vimuser.org/duckstation.html

  • All Proton Drive apps are now open source
  • "releasing the modified version to the public" would cover them re-closing the source and then subsequently releasing that newly closed source, so they can't relicense it and then release the built version of the code.

    At least not easily, this is where court history would likely need to be visited because the way it's worded the interpretability of "modified" in this context would need to be examined.

  • the strange new future of story-driven PC gaming
  • I don't think it'll solve the problem. Ask anyone in the sillytavern subreddit and they'll tell you LLMs tend to repeat the same dialogue a lot (look up the "shivers up/down their spine" meme)

    Edit: since it might not be obvious, here's an example of people who use LLMs for character dialogue's opinion on the content being produced: (Link Warning: reddit)

  • Yazi - Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O
  • I wouldn't bother unless you find yourself doing more through the terminal than through GUIs.

    I don't have a built-in file browser (not using a DE, just i3 window manager), so I use ranger and pure GNU coreutils commands mostly but I still find myself missing the drag-and-drop features that FreeDesktop integration provides for stuff like nautilus.

  • Linus Torvalds muses about maintainer gray hairs and the next 'King of Linux'
  • The problem is that the Linux kernel is monolithic so introducing rust into it does have certain repercussions about downstream compatibility between modules.

    Right now the rust code in the kernel uses c bindings for some things and there's a not-insignificant portion of C developers who both refuse to use rust and refuse to take responsibility if the code they write breaks something in the rust bindings.

    If it was pure C there would be no excuse as the standard for Linux development is that you don't break downstream, but the current zeitgeist is that Rust being a different language means that the current C developers have no responsibility if their code refactoring now breaks the rust code.

    It's a frankly ridiculous stance to take, considering the long history of Linux being very strict on not breaking downstream code.

  • Proton 9.0-3 released
  • Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there's a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik

    Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I'm not sure of the sandboxing...
