A “distillation attack” is like a concrete company calling a competitor building a factory with its concrete a “construction attack”

This article is terrible and I hate that people always bring it up whenever MUMPS is mentioned here. MUMPS is easy to read, understand and maintain when written well. These example…

MUMPS’ bad reputation is totally unearned. Most examples online (the wiki page, the awful Case of the MUMPS article) are examples of MUMPS code from the 60s-70s when storage was a …

Ahhh! Software engineering!

I could not agree more with EFF. There’s a difference between training a model and using a model. Training involves copyrighted works but fair use is not just about use of copyrigh…

Universal encryption of PHI at rest is going to be INCREDIBLY painful. Hospitals mostly have onprem, locked down mainframe IRIS systems that host data. If the IRIS data is encrypte…

Software engineering has always worked this way, just not to ICs. “The LLMs produce non-deterministic output and generate code much faster than we can read it, so we can’t seriousl…

I’m not saying this is aligned with FLOSS, FLOSS is a collaboration model. I’m saying the outcome of easier access to knowledge should be celebrated by supporters of FLOSS. License…

I don’t know if this author supports OSS but I’ll share this because HN generally is full of people with that mindset. It’s deeply ironic that if you forget about LLMs and look onl…

This is like saying that you should oppose electricity or factories if you don’t want them in your backyard.

This article would have been fine and a good send-off if the maintainers just said they were moving on to greener pastures. The discussion of the Anthropic job offer and the cult-l…

Try MUMPS, widely used but little training data online. Probably less than some esolangs
