Just looked at an issue in Codeberg that happened to be a duplicate of a bug filed 14y earlier on Debbugs, which itself was a duplicate of an older bug filed on Savannah. (You can tell it’s a critical bug.)

It’s already tempting notably for smallish projects to resort to genAI:

But I think a race to the bottom has started in #FreeSoftware, with this rationale: if “we” don’t use genAI in our project, then we will lose to the competition, whether free slopware or proprietary.

Anyone knows of a good farming 101 tutorial?

Send SIGHUG, not SIGKILL.

We went from copyright law being shaped by Disney demanding ever-increasing terms, to copyright law being effectively “optional” with OpenAI & co. lobbying so LLM output is not considered a derivative work of its inputs.

A 180° turn.

The law is still shaped by the powerful, but they now have different interests.

@csantosb@sigmoid.social added two new publications on #ReproducibleResearch on the #Guix publication page 👇
https://guix.gnu.org/en/publications/

① A just-published paper showing container image generation for materials science;
② A 2024 survey on #reproducibility in #HPC.
