Piotr Esden-TempskiDiscussing AI/LLM stuff with some friends made me realize something. I do like computers and programming. I like the process of understanding how they work and how to make them do what I want them to do. The LLM stuff makes that process worse and more frustrating. People that use them make collaboration less fun. This is another reason why I hate that stuff, even if it worked 100% perfectly (which it does not) I would not want to use it.

I am once again asking for help tracking down ProSonus MusicBytes, volumes I and II. These sampler CDs only partially exist online (in other CD-ROMs searchable using DiscMaster), as MIDI files and downsampled mono 22kHz wave files. Full CD audio quality versions of the tunes are missing.
endrift 🏳️⚧️I remember people being angry at @torvalds when he said "fuck Nvidia" (I myself was frustrated at the time!), but it really has aged like a fine wine. He was absolutely right and it remains true to this day. They've made some concessions specifically to the kernel at this point (though honestly not that many; mostly they moved a bunch of functionality to an opaque firmware blob instead of software), but even beyond the Linux ecosystem they continue to be bigger and bigger megalomaniacs with a thirst for control. https://youtu.be/Q4SWxWIOVBM
Linus Torvalds: "So Nvidia, F*ck you!"
ARGVMI~1.PIFAs far as I know, there's nothing stopping the same thing from happening to Cargo or Maven.
Well, other than the possibility that Rust and Java devs are more vigilant, I suppose.

"No way to prevent this" say users of only package manager where this regularly happens
abadideamore and more projects are adding an AGENTS.md that explicitly tells agents to stop, drop, and roll off a cliff, so if you see an AGENTS.md, remember to check what it specifically says before concluding it's there because the project is pro-AI
(and people who have done this have reported that writing the fuck-off message in that polite insipid tone LLMs use works better at getting them to actually stop: https://unstable.systems/@AmyZenunim/116672510693285709 )
