Longtime Linux Developer Steps Down From Some Roles Due To Patch Flood Caused By AI in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] 12 points 14 hours ago (1 child)

It'd b great if more people were to step up!

And I can only dream that companies setup some recurring donations to Linux and other FLOSS projects. We are all relying on these!!

Heck, not only the Internet but many technologies relied on volunteers! Most notably, ai itself, on so many levels (python ecosystem, and the training data from e.g. annas archive)

    This right here is what's wrong with US. People complaining they can't buy high tech at low prices anymore. That's how low the bar has always been.

    And it has been like that for ages, with both Democrats and Republicans taking advantage of it.

    And that's has been the American Dream everywhere, including outside their country. I had family from latin america that went there just because of this reason and in spite of the shitiest jobs they got...

    It's sad.

    People missing stomping over each other.

    Lol. I loved Obsession, and had decided not to see the Elizabeth Holmes documentary after watching the trailer because it seemed to be like a sociopath trying to be likable to cameras as a last resort... Now I really wonder if I am missing anything..

    Hunger may play a role in alcohol addiction, new study finds in c/science@lemmy.world

    In drosophila, a.k.a. fruit flies. They have a whole different relationship to alcohol, since their lives revolves around rotting fruit where yeast thrives. Drosophila eats yeast.

    They don't need you to be pro-fascism, just anti-communist in c/latestagecapitalism@lemmy.world

    Also, fascism has a lot to do with imperialism. All examples in Europe had this connection and support from the previous rulers.

    I recommend Antifa manual by Mark Bray.

    Roblox downloaded 145 GB of models from our sites (including adult content) without asking (open3dlab.com)
     

    On 15 and 16 October 2026, a crawler that said it belonged to Roblox walked through almost every project on Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase, and proceeded to download complete copies of 1,027 files from 712 projects. 145.5 GB of our creators' work, downloaded for what we assume are AI training purposes.

    Anyone else gone completely off HN these days? (programming.dev)
     

    cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/57531140

    I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now... it's really become AI-pro^[Yes, I know it's been that way for a while, but either I'm feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.

    I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.

    The contagion of fear (bcantrill.dtrace.org)
     

    [...] We should heed the wisdom of the late Carl Sagan that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: the claims from Coxon and his ilk are the most extraordinary a technologist can make, and we must demand evidence commensurate with the claims. That said, we should not expect the public to understand LLMs, critical infrastructure, bioweapons, extinction biology, etc. — that burden must lie with those making the claim. The lesson that I learned (shamefully) decades ago is that domain experts, by way of their expertise, implicitly hold the public’s trust — and we must not abuse it. It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims — and maximally so when raising the alarm.

    Open weight models reviewed (wagtail.org)
     

    Apparently Gemma 4 (by deepmind) are very energy-efficient for their capabilities.

    The post itself seems to recommend a company (neuralwatt.com) but it's unrelated to project wagtail (an open source CMS made with django) so I consider it legit, they're just vouching for this new approach that shows users their ecological footprint basically.

    (Of course, running these at a homelab is possible. hence the relevance of this info for the community)
