STOP DOING GNUPG ASCII was never supposed to be armored Decades of mouse jiggling and yet no real world use found for generating person-bound long-lived keys Want to establish trust? We have a tool …

If we live in a simulation, doesn't that mean that bare metal servers are actually VMs?

> "Just as GitHub was founded on Git, today we are re-founded on Copilot." Look, I respect the heck out of the technical implementation of LLMs, but let's be honest: statistically they produce average code at best and misunderstood/invalid code most often. They re-implement old bugs and obfuscate programmer intent and anyone who is leaning on them for more than a pair assist is making software harder for the rest of us. #AI #Git #GitHub #Copilot #GenerativeAI #LLM #ChatGPT 🔗 https://github.blog/2023-11-08-universe-2023-copilot-transforms-github-into-the-ai-powered-developer-platform/

i mean look, this coding ai business can't be that hard to get right, just train it on well-commented code that has no bugs

In England, "booster shot" is spelled "borchestershire shot."

Whilst I like the idea of the ‘2 pizza team’ as originated by Amazon, at some point we are going to need more than just me on this.

As exhausting as it can be, I feel like many open source software maintainers could make a reasonable dent into the net hatred put into this world by choosing to quietly ignore the issues they think are stupid rather than trying to publicly humiliate the people who file them

Just got your text from last night: you need to cut the red wire first to stop the countdown.

Most folks don’t seem to realize how gravely under-resourced and under-funded the #PHP project is. For a technology that powers 77% of the web and has very little corporate backing, it's a wonder the project makes any headway at all. At times, it almost feels like the industry is doing this on purpose to choke out the language.

In light of the GitHub Universe announcements where they announce they are “re-founded on Copilot” allow me to re-present my blog post: https://blog.edwardloveall.com/lets-make-sure-github-doesnt-become-the-only-option

Whenever faced with excess meetings or unnecessary bureaucracy, I remember the contractor's mantra: > It all bills the same.

Until there is a definitive adjudication of the copyright status of LLM training data, it is *deeply irresponsible* to use Github Copilot for open source. I will refuse contributions created with it on any project I'm involved with, as well as permanently ban any user caught sneaking in Copilot-generated code in defiance of this rule. I would strongly encourage all maintainers to take this stand as well. License headaches are already bad enough without secret poison pills being injected.

The year I worked at Google was the Year Of Social, and everyone's OKRs involved integrating with Google+ somehow, and if you did that you got a large bonus. Anyway getting strong vibes like that when GitHub's new font family's landing page starts randomly talking about Copilot half-way. Update: The above has been described as a cheap dunk, and to be fair the CoPilot output having different font thing is fine. But. I guess I should expand with some context about my year at Google—

Oh nah, GitHub is doing too much

“Instead of talking about hard skills and soft skills, let’s actually call them what they are. One set of skills is technical skills, skills for dealing with technology and technical problems And one set of skills is human skills, things for dealing with humans.” 🎥 @kball https://youtube.com/shorts/mNHX-QlHAlg

When I repeatedly am asked “Why accessibility though? What’s the business case?” I get cranky (but I’m working on that). It’s the law. Why do I have to argue a business case for anyone to *checks notes* not break the law?? Yes there is a whole ‘nother aspect where it shouldn’t have had to become a law in the first place but FFS.
