  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • What do you man by tell it to write good code?

    You mean specific prompts, which you mention afterwards, but as also hit and miss?

  • Most projects don't have enough people or external interest for that kind of process.

    It would be possible to establish some tooling like that, but standard forges don't provide that. So it'd feel cumbersome.

    And in the end you're back at having contributors, trustworthiness, and quality control. Because testing and reviewing are contributions too. You don't want just a popularity contest (I want this) nor blindly trust unknown contribute.

  • Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot

    Jump

  • The because of training claim is wrong.

    Quoting the Gentoo post:

    Mostly because of the continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories,

    It seems to be about GitHub pushing copilot usage, not them training on data. Moving away doesn't prevent training anyway. And I'm sure someone will host a mirror on hitting if they don't.

  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

  • Or maybe the bubble will pop, and we’ll have a repeat of 2008, except 100 times worse.

    The AI spending and stock is much more localized. It's not grown over more years and integrated into many financial systems. So the results may be much less severe.

  • I've always bought Western Digital. The one time I bought Seagate I eventually had data loss. Stuck to WD ever since.

  • I'm not sure feeding more misinformation to our systems and society is that good of an idea. I don't think it'd be an effective influencing strategy either.

  • Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die

    Jump

  • Additionally, patentable materials must be novel, useful, and a non-obvious inventive step. - Wikipedia

    What does the patent contain? Where is the non-obvious inventive step? Using an AI to impersonate someone doesn't strike me as novel, inventive, or surprising.

  • Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

  • From The Software Quality and Productivity Crisis Executives Won’t Address (via on Lemmy)

    Executives aren’t ignorant. They have the data. They commission the surveys. They attend the conferences where CTOs present their concerns. They know that:

    • 91% of CTOs cite technical debt as the biggest challenge
    • 75% of projects are expected to fail
    • 69% of developers lose significant time to inefficiencies
    • Only 39% of projects meet success criteria
    • The recommended 15–20% investment in technical debt management yields better long-term returns than crisis spending

    Yet they choose:

    • Not to allocate recommended budgets for technical debt management
    • Not to make quality a strategic priority despite CTOs’ and developers’ concerns
    • Not to mention these challenges in public communications to shareholders
    • To celebrate AI productivity gains whilst developers report record inefficiency
    • To focus on the next hype cycle (AI) rather than address fundamental problems

    This isn’t a failure of knowledge. It looks to me like a failure of courage and integrity. A failure of the very concept of leadership.

  • If it's only vibe coding, going by vibe, being an expert makes no difference.

    If you go for thorough reviews and corrections, supposed code generation efficiency gains are typically offset by review and correction effort.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • So, between a copper wire, a banana, and wet mud, the mid-level stuff is the banana, right?

    I'll go for that, then.

  • Fluxer is another open-source Discord alternative

    Jump

  • It always feels great seeing Mumble mentioned, especially with such a positive sentiment. I was a core dev, or am but have been mostly inactive for a long time now.

    Discord with millions in funding and a dev team - Mumble with contributors you can count on one hand obviously can't keep up. If a community wants text messaging, that's just not Mumble's target of primarily voice communication. Whether that's because of limited resources/people or a deliberate target scoping.

    My clan briefly switched from Mumble to Teamspeak for a while. I was happy to see that the majority preferred Mumble and we moved back to Mumble back then. That was still before Discord was a thing.

  • Es ist so irritierend und frustrierend, so widerlich. Auch dass das Systemcharacter hat und dieses Unternehmen nicht das einzige wo so etwas passiert. Und weder im Unternehmen noch politisch rechtlich Strafverfolgung passiert etwas dagegen.

    Bei Verträgen haben wir gesetzliche Anforderungen an Verhältnismäßigkeit beider Parteien. Wir haben diverse Schutzmechanismen gegen Ausnutzung und Betrug. Aber so etwas, das hier, läuft trotzdem unbehelligt durch?

  • What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

    Jump

  • Distancing from politics is a political act.

    Being embedded in a society formed by politics, they become beneficiary and victim to what others decide.

    I can empathize and understand why one would be apolitical. Some things need activism and political involvement, though. Investing the minimum is not that hard - if you at least know your sources. If they're aware of being a beneficiary and there's no immediate need for activism, I'm find with their political decision to be apolitical. If they ignore (glaring) issues, I may be a bit disappointed or sad.

  • I'm not sure if you expanded over broader society, but people of public institutions not making (public/visible) political remarks has good reasons: As representatives of the public institutions which are supposed to serve all citizens it's important they are seen and trusted to be neutral and serving the state, the public, everyone.

    If public servants talk one way or the other, others may lose trust.

    Obviously, right now people are losing trust, and for good reasons, for other reasons and prevalence.
