BTW, the “weapons” category is the light green stuff in the bottom right.

Imagine upending the whole desktop software ecosystem for years, to produce this result.

Excellent news.

No doubt the struggle is not over but this is something to celebrate anyway 😁

Pretty interesting LLM policy they’ve adopted.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-forge/blob/main/src/policies/llm-usage.md

It’s fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.

I’ve tried a couple of times but it seems pretty cursed.

They are using multiple accounts to try to mask it. I’m not sure but it seems like about 4 to 6 different accounts all run by the same guy.

It is a deluge. It is deceptive. No one opted in to it.

Attempts to have your cake and eat it too are always going to be pretty fraught when it’s a moral / ethical issue. If you try to compromise then no one is happy except the opportunists who see it as a chance to push for further changes in their direction.

Several weeks ago, a KDE developer started a mailing list thread asking about how we should handle the flood of AI slop merge requests. Everyone agreed it was a problem, and that we don’t want that crap.

That bit of context was certainly left out of the story when I first heard it and had I known that I would have read the proposed policy more charitably.

As an aside - this is the problem with having mailing lists and chatrooms - they are not on the web so it’s impossible to link to the original source / context and this provides an opening for people who want to stir up some shit. I use Matrix a lot less these days, for that reason.

The NoGoogleAi firefox extension solves this.

Yeah, see, one minute they’re “just loosening a policy a bit to be more reasonable” and the next they’re giving out free tokens and getting everyone hooked.

The policy change is just the start of the process - https://blog.fallible.net/it-breaks-a-village/

What happened to Bevy when they loosened their AI policy to be more ‘realistic’

No no this is a Googlebook it’s different, heheh

Seriously though, all laptops are a rip off these days.

No it’s just what happens when you automatically repost stuff from reddit - whatever psyops / culture war is going on there end up over here too.

Hegseth dismantled most of the Pentagon’s civilian harm mitigation, or CHM, units — cutting headcount across a number of teams by roughly 90% to fewer than 20 staff members, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. Centcom’s team was reduced from 10 to 1. No CHM team member reviewed the Minab site before the strike

There it is

SQL is certainly a different way of thinking, unlike any other language. I can see why it’s not for everyone.

So to answer the original question - use Redis AND MongoDB. For different things.

MongoDB is your database and Redis is the thing that stops you from needing to hit up the database all the time.

Technically, it shares a lot of characteristics with databases. You can put data in there and get data out again later, sure. But it’s optimized for short term caching of data, to reduce load on a real database, reduce network requests, that kind of thing.

In programming you can often use tools in ways they were not intended for and it’ll still work but the costs of that decision might not become apparent until much later. This is one of those. Over time you’ll start to have issues with durability guarantees, complex querying and indexing, transactions and consistency, recovery after failure, backups and restoration, data growth, operational tooling, migrations and schema evolution, concurrency, debugging and observability. None of that shows up during initial development work so you won’t notice until you’re in way too deep.

Redis is not a database. If you use it like one, it won’t be long before you regret it.

It’s a bot
