this is the question of the hour. Imagine using this LLM proxy to license-strip major parts of leaked Windows source code to produce code for WINE.

On top of all of this, there are the attempts at binary decompilation using LLMs and other new tools that have been discussed on this site recently.

Why are all of these attempts at controlling the web coinciding at the same time now? I don't think it is a coincidence that this is happening at the same time that the younger generation wakes up to our greatest ally.

Because there's only one internet and it's becoming a problem for every country at the same time because it's the same problem.

compared to what other projects?

Mine was more a generic argument against the "ban all AI" stance that I've recently seen pop up more often.

At the moment, there isn't another project (that I know of) like PostmarketOS filling the same niche. If a new project were to appear, and were using LLMs, it'd likely progress faster.

Regardless, I've had success with LLMs and while I understand the maintainers' concern, if used properly they're a powerful tool to quickly iterate on huge amounts of information. They could be used to automate reviews of the spam of low-quality PRs, for instance (if they were to materialize).

But having read their policy page, their stance is more on ethical grounds, not moral: https://docs.postmarketos.org/policies-and-processes/develop... . So while I still stand by my argument in the general case, here it's not applicable, and while I see their ethical concerns, one project boycotting a tool doesn't really fix the systemic issues they mention.

I'm not sure it would progress faster for this project

Because these are the major types of problems that pmOS solves?

I don't think you understand what the job entails, if you think these are the best tools

just tell em to wear their disintegration-proof vest

that doesnt seem like super great returns

I think it’s the framing. ‘Bet’ makes us think about doubling up.

This guy made a very calculated low risk wager for pretty great near-term rewards. He outperformed most hedge funds over the same period.

If he had gone all in on ‘black’ twice at a Vegas roulette wheel it’d be a more impressive total, but that’s gambling.

~40% in a few months is epic

if you think of it like a bond it’s pretty fantastic. coupon rate 3.5% and you got it at a giant discount to par even though it’s actually (according to this guy’s beliefs which proved correct) nearly certain to be repaid.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

now?

the autoscroll is killing me. I can't really read the "what happened" blurb at the end. I guess my phone is too narrow

Same on desktop, it's broken by design on all devices.

It is indeed awful.
