Oh, very sad news, big fan of his work, underappreciated maybe. Here’s one of my favourites:

Oh and I was randomly just thinking of this tune the other day:

I’ll stop there because obviously I can’t post everything.

Again, you’re telling me what I already know, because you’re still assuming. I can make the point that same prompts don’t produce the same output without explaining about random seeds.

It seems a more likely that the candidates were cutting and pasting a standard response, either way my point was to question the integrity of the article, which seems itself to be AI slop anyway.

You can give an LLM the same seed and it will spit out the same word-for-word response. That’s how they work. It’s just a bunch of math.

You’re assuming that because I missed out that detail I must be ignorant of it, that’s not very charitable, I could well have been ignorant of it but you could have made your otherwise useful clarification without telling me I was wrong.

The article said they were the “exact same”.

Where was I wrong? I said nothing that contradicts the detail you added.

Nope, there are a lot of AI tells in the article.

Something is wrong here, LLMs won’t spit out the same word-for-word response for the same prompt that’s not how they work.

“All but” has always confused me as a phrase even as a native English speaker. You would think it means it isn’t surrounded at all, i.e. “all but:” = “the last thing it would be is:”, but apparently not.

ReactOS collaborates with projects like Wine; you would arguably not have Proton without it (or at least not as useful). The process of building ReactOS itself is useful to the FOSS ecosystem perhaps more than the finished “product”.

It would have been nice if OP had included that key piece of information in the title given that we’re not even on programming.dev

Who is “we” here? This would be something that would be up to an individual instance surely?

Is this any different from doing Ctrl+I for page info and selecting the Media tab (which is what I currently do for this)?

Yep things have certainly changed since then, I remember when it was common advice to new Linux users to generally avoid laptops.

So not “global population decline”?

It was last year, and “already” was a response to the presumption that the privacy community didn’t know about it.

Actually the “privacy community” is already pretty on top of this, see:

For me, whether it was officially retracted or not there are plenty of options that don’t come with the potential fascist endorsement so I’ll just go with one of them instead.

They’re a political group by definition, even if you don’t believe the rationale it’s their prerogative, if they left former Twitter purely because it didn’t align with their values that wouldn’t be a contradiction in and of itself because their whole reason for existing is taking a political stand.

I’ve been using FreeTube for years, it does break from time to time but never for very long, and it’s a much nicer experience all round.
