Well this is useful. Noticed someone mention an indexing site for the fediverse (https://fedidb.com). I can see it auto-discovered and indexed my Mastodon server. The apps page will come in handy.

@dngrs honestly i feel like standardized markup is also a bot signal. which is unfortunate because clear standardized markup is good. but it is a bot signal.

@fesshole We've all been there.

@dngrs i've definitely been trying, for a long time actually to frame things more as "tldr" then "full details", but sometimes people react to the length regardless of the tldr. maybe i should just start querying if they want a more detailed report before submitting a more detailed report.

@futurebird I can easily see him liking it. I’m sure he sees himself as Veppers and doesnt see the character as a villain

I often pick bits of food out from between the gaps in my teeth, sometimes I realise it was from 2/3 days ago and is still there, but I still leave it in my mouth and swallow it What else are you going do with it?

filling out my kaia character sheet for D&D

@mcc plus, using markup to shape it that way

@mos_8502 okay, that's cool, i hope eventually more programs figure out how to make that happen, maybe it'll help non-flat UI and web designs become popular once again

@shawnhooper It starts

Honestly not everyone will agree, but personally I can’t see any flaw in using AI to read through your code and point out security flaws. It’s going to happen regardless of whether you initiate it. It’s not like us sys admins are going “well I’m not going to patch the dirtyfrag vulnerability because it was discovered with AI”. I’d say knowing if AI can find a vulnerability in your code, is just a requirement right now.

I'm just saying why rule out options for improvement? 🤷‍♀️ 😂

@astraluma @hikari @argv_minus_one @azonenberg

The problem with that is that you end up following each alloc with `if(!ptr){...}` which dramatically increases code complexity but also, it's often unclear what should go between the braces so you end up with thousands of potential bug sites instead of just the one.

TBH, I'm semi-convinced that the actual bug isn't really exploitable in real life and the panic is driven by AI hype.

@thanius@peertube.chuggybumba.com I use llm's to find stuff or solutions for items where I am able to verify the output immediately (or with minimal effort). Example: last week I had a problem with my network interface. I prompted a (locally running) llm for the 'nmcli' commands which I hadn't used for years because I don't work as a sysadmin. The output was usable and saved me quite some 'manual-reading time'. I was able to verify the output because my internet connection was working again :-)
It is my opinion that you should limit the scope of llm's there. If you start to blindly accept the output of llm's (which happened on a big scale with the php2shell cve this week, for example) you're just using the wrong tool for the job. Accepting the output of an llm without verification is only acceptable if an incorrect output is acceptable.
The big problem with llm's is how you can abuse this technology. From a sociological point of view, it is the 'best tool ever for the (flaws in) meritocracy': it is a perfect tool to cheat your way up to a higher social class. And this is, in my opinion, the real problem. As long as llm's help people reach a better life standard by generating fake art/articles/cv's/programs/solutions to math problems/science it will be abused on the current massive scale. I have not found a solution for this problem, but I believe we should not discuss if 'ai' is good or bad ('ai' is just a subset of 'programs'. Some are useful, some are less useful) but ask 'where is, for example, an llm useful?' and learn each other to strictly limit the scope.
To make it more clear what the scope of an llm is, I would suggest to remove the word 'intelligence' because an llm has nothing to do with intelligence whatsoever (but it is a very good marketing buzzword because a user can feel himself implicitly intelligent by using this technology). The scientists who make the great podcast 'mystery ai-hype 3000' published a nice attempt: https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/how-to-talk-about-ai-without-adding-to-the/. They replaced the word 'artificial intelligence' with 'probabilistic automation'. This sounds technically much more accurate, but obviously, any marketing team would rate this 0/10 😁

so this also included android tablets, and all dozen of us are v thankful for it 🫶🏼
