Of course comparing open source and AI is like comparing apples and oranges, but the question makes a lot of sense. Just the first thing that comes to mind: open source is about tr…

> It was always naive to think 3.5% of the population could force the other 96.5% This makes 100%, right. But how many actually care and act, what are the dynamics? Regarding the e…

That's really interesting, but i'm wondering if this is as rational as it looks. > we are going to be kinda of obsolete in what defined us, as a profession: the ability to write co…

With all those fantastic claims defining "the future", it feels more like PR hunt for venture capital in those start-ups than a serious article.

The second video shows the head of the CNIL (~ the "regulator") mostly repeating platitudes about various topics, but nothing about age restriction for social networks. Did i miss …

> It seems to me that Claude's error here (which is not unique to it) is self-sycophancy. The model is too eager to convince itself it did a good job. It seems this applies to the …

Filling forms is a terribly artificial activity in essence. They are also very culturally biased, but that fits well with the material the NNs have been trained with. So, surely th…

Surely "intelligence" is a broad field... i might not be so that great at it, but i hope that's ok. "[LLMs] reason using the same type of associative abstract thinking as humans do…

"AI" is too much of a broad umbrella term of competing ideas, from symbolic logic (FOL, expert systems) to statistical operations (NNs). It's clear today that the latter has won th…

I think it's about showing that different models are possible for people who do care and are willing to reflect and change the way they operate. The big majority goes with the comf…

I'm happily using podman only. Lightweight, secure by design, sweet integration with systemd as an orchestrator: a perfect middle ground when the complexity of k8s isn't needed. Sa…

I'm happily using quadlets as a lightweight container orchestration tool for few months now and i also think it deserves more attention. RH is doing a great integration job pushing…
