Tbh it's probably a good idea to have a bunch of different e-mail accounts, at least for all of the professional, personal and other personal things.

There's horror stories of automated systems suspending people's Google accounts and suddenly they can't access their photos and other important data.

Like if you use a password manager and all of the passwords are random, might as well go a step further and at least have separate e-mail accounts for groups of activities.

Depends on the team and which of the actual features you use! As someone who introduced GitLab CI to my org as well, but runs most of my private stuff on Gitea + WoodpeckerCI, based on what I've seen there are A LOT of workflows that don't need that much out of GitLab, especially when you can move a lot of complexity into your CI solution alongside some light patches to the forge if necessary. Hell, I've seen people who haven't migrated off of SVN do okay (though personally I wouldn't punish myself like that).

If Alpine prides themselves on focusing so much on security, they probably shouldn’t use GitLab - the attack surface is too great and it’s never going to be easy to keep safe and up to date fully, unless you have FTEs whose main job is just maintaining it.

Just get the source code of Forgejo, audit it thoroughly and run an instance of that.

I guess that’s just the old “Build One To Throw Away” in a modern light, where prototyping more freely is now actually feasible. I think if you apply the good engineering ideas of the past decades to AI, the results can be really good!

Except I’d also add a lot of testing to the prototype, to bring up as many edge cases as possible.

> realize that you need to have your own social media

How could that be made to happen? Should EU somehow move to federated (let’s say per country) instances of Mastodon or something? Or one big platform? How would regular folks get used to it? And how could those initiatives be prevented from falling into irrelevance when network effects are at play?

I agree with the idea, it’s just that there’s the usual hurdles there aren’t necessarily good answers for that I know of.

Don’t forget about Junie either! I guess they’re throwing everything at the wall and hoping some of it sticks.

That said, I bet that’s how eventually we’ll end up with actually good ADEs (and a bunch of dead projects), by taking what works and changing or discarding what doesn’t - for example GitKraken Kepler has a really nice ticketing system integration but also the older versions I’ve tried had vibe slopped UI.

If nothing else, competition should push everyone who is capable to keep up to do better. It is kind of a bummer sometimes, though - I also wanted their Fleet to succeed, but that was before Zed became really good.

> If they kept their own trusted data sources instead of stealing from anyone and everything, then poisoned data wouldn't be an issue.

If they didn't, they'd be unable to compete with their competition and also we'd get worse models that can't reason about many domains or do that much due to limited training data/generalization. I don't think we can put the cat back in the bag or mandate only non-problematic training codebases without shooting ourselves in the foot.

Now, if those AI orgs were mandated to properly compensate everyone whose data they've mined, to track which neurons get invoked and to pay accordingly based on what was used to train them... ehh, that's about as unrealistic as stopping. Kind of a bad situation all around, unless you abandon the idea of any sort of copyright.

> Its made-up numbers have also ended up in an academic paper and in a bank's investment research.

It's an excellent way of showing how unreliable the information you find online is (and it will only get worse in the future), but willfully creating misinformation and made up shit and offering it as fact feels hostile to humanity.

Surely nobody got hurt as a consequence of those "facts", but bad decisions with real world impact could be made regardless. It feels like the behavior should be shunned in a general case (the same way I'd shun those numerous spam sites that pollute search results and very much would prefer they not be allowed to exist), even if in this case the intent was good.

Problem is, you can't really do anything about it, other than figuring out a way to take down hostile sites and keep them from popping up, so it's even worse than fraud or even just bad research in academia.

> Complete comprehension is absolutely necessary.

I feel like an increasing amount of orgs out there have long abandoned this thinking.

Porkbun was very pleasant to use, would definitely recommend them!

I wanted something in the EU, so I went with INWX - their UI is quite unintuitive/bad in my eyes though. I guess Hostinger/IONOS/Gandi/... would also be pretty popular for anyone like me.
