How do you rate procyon vs these?

... until you realize that the LLM-generated code doesn't even compile, or you need a PhD to write all the prompts needed to have a prototype instead of the real thing.

it doesnt have to be traditional chat interface style.

why doens't someone train an LLM on predicting source code given a sequence of input machine code tokens? that is so obvious. why does nobody do it?

Not worth the effort

youre probably right... for the public market, anyway. blackhat state actors would probably not mind having something like that. but they'd never talk about it in public.

or maybe its not even neccesary, and doing something akin to fuzzing syscalls 'but smartly' probably yields more results.

Tibet? Never existed?

Meh.

Goodbye first amendment. What's next? Revoking citizenship?

The Brits already started doing that one a while back. It'll arrive here eventually

Don't give them any more bad ideas.

That has already been discussed early this summer.

Indeed that was the point of my joke, it isn’t just an hypothetical situation but a quite real scenario that will probably tried in court against Mamdani in the following months.

Too many requests. I suspect this article will bump up the monthly hosting bill.

I just wonder how widespread fraud is without any form of ID. A fake utility bill is just a few clicks away on my PC.

Govt surveillance? I'm much more worried by the ever increasing number of cameras in the streets rather than something similar to having a passport to prove who you really are.

I have used my company LLM thingy. Able to summarize and document code leveraging remarks and general code behavior just because LLM just ingested the full python docs.

About generating things well... it just copypastes the same snippets you could find on stackoverflow, including bugs - if the task you throw at it has already been answered.

For complete and complex code... well it spews out the same useless advice you could get from a drunk non expert person while sitting at the bar.

Issue is... LLMs are too big to fail, everyone just poured billions in this huge statistics bean counter, and... someone has to justify those expenses at board meetings.

The archive does what now?

Nice, if only you could count on having it installed on your fleet, and your fleet is 100pct Linux, no AIX, no HPUX, no SOLARIS, no SUSE on IBM Power....

Been there, tried to, got a huge slap in the face.

Been there, done that. I am so glad I don’t have to deal with all that insanity anymore. In the build farm I was responsible for, I was always happy to work on the Linux and BSD boxes. AIX and HPUX made me want to throw things. At least the Itanium junk acted like a normal server, just a painfully slow one.

I will never voluntarily run a bunch of non-Linux/BSD servers again.

I honestly don't get why there are still a bunch of non-Linux/BSD servers, at least if the goal is to do UNIX-y stuff.

I haven't touched AIX or HPUX in probably a decade and I thought they were a weird idea back then: proprietary UNIX? Is it still 1993?

At the time (10 years ago) I worked for a company with enormous customers who had all kinds of different deployment targets. I bet that list is a lot shorter today.

I hope so, for their sake. shudder
