You may have answered your own question. Perhaps centralization is the point as we move closer to the “extinguish” phase of open source as we have known it.
The hubris of mutating spiritual texts as a marketing gimmick is contemptible.

Maybe “generic and meaningless” is a better descriptor.
This is gross.
I can’t tell if people just don’t understand how ChatGPT works or if there is another reason they are eager to dehumanize themselves and the rest of us along with them.
Thanks. I learned something. Even if passwords are a weak form of security, they add an extra Ayer that would make it much more difficult for an attacker. They don’t have to be the only layer of security, and would still be good as an extra layer on top of hardware keys and/or OS keychains. Very interesting.
Who would have thought? Eating sand is bad for you…
I had been about to devote some time to learning Go, but definitely won’t be after these latest developments.
This video about how to wash off poison ivy changed my life. The key is that urushiol acts a lot like invisible motor oil in terms of how it sticks to your skin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyoDRHpQK0

You can add the Fira ligatures to any font with Ligaturizer. Personally I use it with CMU Typewriter.
AI can experience the same rabbit-hole effect as your idiot cousin who has watched too many of the algorithmically suggested videos on Youtube and now believes that aliens conspired with a time travelling Elvis to kill Hitler using a bullet made of Yeti teeth. And they only went online looking for TellyTubbies videos.
LOL Thank you, I needed a good laugh!
When I looked into this a little bit, I found Copilot for Business states they do not record any of the info you send them. Though obviously you are still sending out code to a third party. I could not find any info about their policies for “normal” Copilot which I assume means they are recording all the code sent to it and using our code to further train the model.
I suppose this is nit picking, however that is not in the style of a Psalm.
Hey, at least they referenced the (hopefully appropriate) JIRA ticket!
As Chomsky points out, the AIs understand syntax not semantics. Code is all (or almost all) syntax whereas human language has both syntax and meaning. Meaning is not something ChatGPT understands.
I found Dahl’s approach to packages with Deno very interesting. It decouples package management from the runtime’s tool chain. So a package manager isn’t needed. (Instead a proxy can be used as a cache similar to how an artifact registry would work.)
It’s easy. Just try to go twice as far, then you’ll be there after the first iteration.
Or keep halving until you reach the Planck length. This length cannot be divided into smaller lengths, so you can just walk the remaining finite distance.
And preventing the triggered and willful spread of disinformation about our elections and public health is not a safety issue??

It's really not that hard.
If you have a lot of breaking changes, you probably shouldn't be at 1.x.x. If you need to deprecate something, add the extra features alongside and remove the deprecated features in the next major release. If you need to add something to code that is >= 1.x.x and you think it will need breaking changes, you should mark the feature as experimental in the documentation until it has stabilized. Semver works great for humans and robots if you put a smidgeon of planning and consideration into the process!
The manner in which international drug prohibition began and the manners in which it is sustained are not equivalent. To say public opinion is the most important aspect is reductive.
It's not a cop out. There are many parties which share blame: the Public for its fearful ignorance and fear, the prisons for profiteering and massive media and lobbying influence, law enforcement for enforcing the "lex malla" of drug policy with violence, various government organizations of various nationalities (including to a large degree the US) for using hard drugs as a tool to manipulate political, social, and economic situations, assassinations, cartels and gangs that sell drugs to fund human trafficking and murder, the list goes on…
There's a lot of blame to go around. The prisons share a whole lot of it.
While your conclusion is true, for-profit prison systems are a clear conflict of interest and certainly influence media and lobbying. Law enforcement has spread its fair share of misinformation and unnecessary violence, as well.
