> I think avoiding a skynet situation is super easy

Please enlighten us, cause there are folks making that their life mission and they aren’t all that optimistic.

A myriad possible ways. Objective-wise from accidental paperclip-type misalignment (“I killed everyone to eradicate disease”) to intentional self-preservation (“I eradicated humans so they wouldn’t get in my way”). The means are even easier, for one it just could hack into nuclear arsenals. It would be over before we could figure out how it did so.

If you’re a programmer interested in music, do check out Strudel, at least the examples at https://strudel.cc/examples. If you like those (I love them, so much art in a few lines of code), the docs _will_ get you started. Enjoy!

I guess loaded derogatory terms are somehow worse than otherwise worse-sounding terms. Think about it in the context of e.g. the n-word. “A piece of shit”, while sounding very bad: 1. is generic, can be applied to anything thus has no discrimination component, and 2. ends there. It has no history, no reference to previous usage, etc.

To me clearly a result—and maybe a prime example—of the anthropomorphising of LLMs. It comes off as (slightly) derogatory, and that plus this fact likely triggers something akin to a racism response in some.

I guess providers will look to (further?) exploit this for marketing/strategic purposes so we should be very aware of such an important bias.

Kinda playing devil’s advocate here but: if AI is a multiplier it makes (now more) sense to get rid of net negatives

That’s how the ‘sync’ flow works (recreating venv, through the lockfile), here discussing specifically updates.

If that new theory turns out to be somewhat right, there'll be something humbling about ancient greeks stories of Zeus sending Hephaestus bolts from ~'heaven/the cosmos' being closer to it than our modern explanations all along

Not out-of-the-box afaik, but we use https://ast-grep.github.io (on a pre-commit hook) for such cases, which bridges the linter gaps nicely.

Tried Podman about a month ago; UI was kinda meh, 'compose' was beyond unusable... then tried Colima (+ lazydocker, a lightweight, beautiful TUI providing the little overview I need) and haven't looked back for a single second.

:/ ok, fair I guess, difficult to argue on _expectations_, but you, me and the next (informed) guy know this is a scam by any stretch of the imagination. I really would like to save even a single person those $200.
