Which one is the best model now? Last I checked (well over a year ago) it was still whisper.

Well, the “pedophile ring” thing turned out to be mostly true with the Epstein stuff.

You know Albert the artist?

I’m just saying CO2 is not the culprit. It may very well be because of something we are doing, but it is not CO2 doing it.

It is. All the data shows it. It’s known that it functions like a greenhouse gas. It traps in heat in the atmosphere that would have normally been radiated away into space.

The part you’re missing is that heat was being trapped for a very long time, and because large heat gradients don’t just sit in one place, that heat didn’t just stay in the air. And water is a extremely good heat sink. So all that heat that’s been trapped in by CO2 has been charging up the oceans over the decades. But we’re at the tipping point now where the oceans can’t pull in anymore, so that heat is staying in the air longer and longer. And hotter air holds more moisture, which makes the air “thirstier” and starts to pull out moisture from vegetation and trees. And then you have drier and more combustible stuff, thus more and more wildfires.

Now the heat in the ocean is hitting a point where it’s radiating back out, that means a ton more moisture going into the atmosphere. And higher the humidity the more literal energy that air holds. And that means more frequent and stronger tornados, hurricanes, storms, wetter winters in some areas and colder drier in others. And so on.

Water vapour does have an impact, but it’s a condensing agent. The more of it in the atmosphere, the more it wants to condense and get out of the atmosphere. It naturally has a equalizing effect, which is why earth’s temps have been extremely stable over long periods. The rate of warming in the past 50 years cannot be explained by water vapour, there had to be an ongoing catalyst to force the temps higher and higher, otherwise the water vapour would condense faster and equalize.

The catalyst is CO2.

My main concern with A.I. use is its ability to hide incompetence.

You mean like tab-completion in modern IDEs? Shouldn’t devs know all the function calls and methods of the standard libraries of the language they’re programming in?

Sure. That’s what this is. Pointing out that a computer program can be used as a tool is definitely a parallel to privacy violations.

I’m just gonna leave this here:

All the previous warming events, which occurred over thousands of years, in the geological records were followed by mass extinction events. The current warming event is warming at rates never before seen, and has happened within 150 years; with the larger portion of the warming within the last 50 years. All of it aligning perfectly with the industrial revolution and human activity.

Do with that what you will.

Is it because of shame?

Yes, and because people might be afraid there going to be attacked for using it.

“Let us know when you are using LLMs”

But this is impossible to enforce.

“Happy” is an odd choice of words here.

An LLM is just a tool. Some iterations have some value in some circumstances. In those cases it’s fine. But look around at the comments here and you’ll see many people basically accusing Debian of selling out. If a dev sees that reaction then they may not want to disclose their own use of LLMs.

Not at all, because it’s impossible to know for sure if committed code had some form of AI generated parts, AI assisted review, prototyping, etc.

By making it mandatory you can potentially alienate good developers who may feel their work ethics would be scrutinized negatively (like in these comments).

It would have been good to have at least one major distro that was AI free

Then you’d need to use one without the Linux kernel

Well every single time an article is posted about Germany, it turns out it’s a single state and that they reverted a few years later.

You’re thinking of the story about Munich from over a decade ago. And that story is more complicated than the media does it justice for.

But to summarize Munich: they did a pilot switching to Linux. It went very well and started a full rollout. Microsoft jumped in with money under the table and promised to setup a new Microsoft HQ in Munich for switching back to Windows. New government came in and said “uh, no. We’re not ditching Linux and our very successful pilot.” So now it’s mostly a hybrid setup.

The title is misleading. It’s not “discovered”, but rather “observed for the first time”. Since black hole stars have been theorized for a while now. And they’re actually the only “accepted” explanation for the origins of super massive black holes holding galaxies together.

My university has a specific contract with MS that says our data cannot leave the campus or the country.

That contract is worth nothing due to the Cloud Act.

A good majority of European countries have switched to Linux or FOSS solutions for governments or militaries.

France’s federal police have been using Linux for over 15 years now.

he’ll just push updates without having anyone test them.

This person is a clown and shouldn’t be allowed near any production stuff.

I would bet top dollar that he pushed back on Linux because it scares him.

confirming that it is too difficult

That statement bumps with the reality that is being built.

It shouldn’t take a decade to write a conformant browser.

I agree.

A simpler specification would allow more projects to deliver compliant browsers.

Also agree.

Saying it was “started in 2019” without mentioning SerenityOS and the single person that was writing it all at the time is a bit disingenuous. It was just a single component within an entire OS that was also being written from the ground up (also entirely by one person). It was in 2022 that it was spun out into its own project because of the community interest in it.

Those are: Blink, WebKit and Gecko
