  • "What's your use case"

    Jump

  • The most useful use case for me is querying a knowledge base in NotebookLM. I work on CPU emulation and it does a very good job of extracting the relevant information from thousands of pages of dry technical specs and preparing the requirements for implementing a particular feature.

    The Deep Research mode of Gemini is pretty good at generating some briefing notes (with links) and can do that in the background once you kick it off.

  • GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing

    Jump

  • On the potentially bright side maybe this will make people think harder about which model to use for which task. You don't need to feed your entire code base into Opus when a Gemini Flash sub-agent can do a perfectly fine job running grep and compiling a summary for the main agent.

  • Even Debian has popcon as an opt in. I can see why collecting data about hardware and package choices is useful to Ubuntu. I didn't think they collected any personally identifying information.

  • It will be fun watching those users who first make the jump to the new project.

  • Export to the grid, for every kWh I export during the day I can afford two kWh overnight.

  • The zero-days are numbered | The Mozilla Blog - Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation [of Mythos Preview]

    Jump

  • If it's finding valid vulnerabilities then it's just another tool like static analysis, fuzzers and sanitizers. There definitely seems to be a difference in quality compared to earlier generations that were behind the sloppy avalanch of reports.

  • Funny 😂

  • Agentic Coding is About to Fracture Open Source

    Jump

  • I think the article is over complicating things. I work in a project which is heavily forked for a variety of reasons. While it's academically interesting to look at the reasons for those downstream forks we have no interest in going to the considerable effort of tracking them all.

    If you can take a project and use an LLM to enable your niche use case then more power to you. FLOSS was never about ensuring all patches flow upstream.

  • Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement

    Jump

  • They don't have to be. They know what they asked the LLM to do. They know how much they adapted the output. You usually have to work to get the models to spit out significant chunks of memorised text.

  • Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement

    Jump

  • No, that's why the author asserts that with their signed-of-by. It's what I do if I use any LLM content as the basis of my patches.

    Jump

  • If the 2-10% is just boilerplate syscall number defines or trivial MIN/MAX macros then it's just the common way to do things.

  • Is there a fast way to tell what episode of a series a video file is?

    Jump

  • If you are using MakeMKV when ripping you can override the filename template. So I name them for example "Show s01e04+" based on the disc I'm ripping. Then once encoded it's relatively quick to rename the files with the full episode number. I personally use dired in Emacs because a macro makes short work of the renaming but I'm sure other solutions are possible.

  • Sony killing features for antenna, set-top box users of Bravia smart TVs in May

  • My Bravia experience improved markedly when I replaced Sony's default home screen with the Projecivity Launcher.

    Jump

  • Where are you seeing the 2-10% figure?

    In my experience code generation is most affected by the local context (i.e. the codebase you are working on). On top of that a lot of code is purely mechanical - code generally has to have a degree of novelty to be protected by copyright.
