GitHub copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits large chunks of my copyrighted code, with no attribution, no LGPL license. For example, the simple prompt "sparse matrix transpose, cs_" produces my cs_transpose in CSparse. My code on left, github on right. Not OK.

Starting to think that a whole lot of normals are about to get an unwelcome crash course in how insanely out of control IRCOps politics can get, despite (or perhaps because of) the very low stakes.

meta should have never built on sun microsystems burial grounds

I’m grateful for that because Mastodon is pretty great, and it’s nice to see anarchists succeeding where the world’s leading capitalists can’t.

Looks like the IEEE Spectrum article on the KrakenSDR's passive radar software got them hit with ITAR restrictions. All Passive Radar code has been pulled (of course i'm sure forks exist... it was open source after all). forum.krakenrf.com/t/where-has-th…

Stumbled across an incredible bit of history today. A look at Almach, the Cumulus Linux derived OS that ran (runs?) AWS's networks: github.com/injinj/lb8-ama… I never knew that they renamed swp# ports to jrp#. Justin Pietsch, is your middle initial 'r', perhaps? 🤣

I spent six years working on the deep guts of wifi. That’s why my computers are plugged directly into Ethernet.

The evil brilliance of off-prem cloud is that they convinced everyone at first that it was cheaper. Then turned it around to be 3x more expensive “but it’s easier”.

"It means that if you don't know what a thundering herd is you probably want to wake up someone who does." "Very funny, ChatSRE." "Sorry, I have been trained by RLHF to be acerbic because my creators believe SREs will view that as a mark of cultural competency."

github.com/philipl/infere… InferenceFS stores only the filename. That's it. The filename is the metadata. The contents are inferred. This is the compression breakthrough the industry has been waiting for.
