Someone on LinkedIn pointed out that #OpenAI doesn’t use an LLM for their support chat, but has instead opted to use some extremely limited decision tree. Which is both understandable, telling, and fucking hilarious.

Big tech now arguing that the platforms they’ve built can’t be held accountable for e.g. racism, as racism has been around for all of human history. Well yes, you know what else has? Nipples. Interesting how easy those were to ban, but racism? “Content moderation is just so hard!”

Get the fuck out of here.

If you don’t want advertisements in your physical mailbox in Sweden, all you have to do is put a sticker or sign on it saying “No ads, please”. People carrying mail are obliged to respect that. As simple as that.

And you know, that’s how it should work on the internet too.

Call me old fashioned, but a pair of well placed googly eyes is still one of my favorite acts of vandalism. Used here to improve local real estate ads.

I’m still seeing people argue that #OpenAI is a responsible actor on the basis that they asked to be regulated. No, they didn’t. They wanted the market to be regulated, which would make it much harder for new actors to enter, and more or less impossible for #OpenSource. It was not an example of them being driven by ethics, but rather the opposite.

> The Go monorepo is the largest codebase at Uber, comprising 90 million lines of code (and growing)

Come again? The #Kubernetes project is 4 MLOC, the #Linux Kernel is 17.5 MLOC. How on earth is a fucking taxi app 22.5 times the size of Kubernetes?

While not having heroes is generally a good advice, there are some reasonable exceptions to any rule. Today is Raoul Wallenberg’s day.

Raoul was a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from a certain death in Auschwitz. How? By issuing fake “protective passports” and renting buildings to hide people. These buildings, he claimed, were extraterritorial, and protected by diplomatic immunity. Amazingly, it worked.

The price he paid was his own life.

Unpopular #boomer #developer opinion: #GitHub actions “jobs” should only ever run the same #Make (insert your build system here) tasks or scripts that you run on your own machine. Using actions from the “marketplace” that do anything more than to fetch dependencies means you can’t easily reproduce what happens in those actions. And there is nothing* as repugnant in this field as pushing fake commits to GH in order to debug a failing action.

Rather than deciding on a scripting language that only some in the organization understands and enjoys — like #Python — consider a more inclusive option, like #Bash, which no one understands or enjoys.

Just published! #OpenPolicyAgent 2023, year in review. It’s always such a joy looking back at everything that happened in our community in the past year. And for a project the size of #OPA, it’s a lot.

Thanks @charlieegan3, @ritazh and @jpreese for co-authoring the blog with me.

Check it out!

This is beatiful! Tesla in Sweden no longer getting license plates delivered for new cars sold as those are shipped by mail, and the postal workers aren't having it — essentially making new Teslas illegal to drive.

A surprisingly common mistake people do when contributing to #OpenSource projects is to forget the (often required) sign-off on their commit, and then close the PR only to open a new one where the sign-off is included. This isn’t needed! Next time, just:

git commit --amend --signoff
git push --force

And your signoff will be added to the commit in your PR.

AI shilling taken to the next level on LinkedIn right now. AI generated article getting tons of AI generated fake "engagement" from employees who are either AIs too or humans without any sense of integrity, accepting to paste AI created answers as comments to their employers AI generated post. And all that within ~5 minutes.

This is fine 🫠
