"After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of large language models on Wikipedia, on March 20 volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia.

The new policy, which was accepted in an overwhelming 40 to 2 vote among editors, allows editors to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, which can be incorporated into the article or rewritten after human review if the LLM doesn’t generate entirely new content on its own."

Here is the material I used for my presentation at #dpc26 today:

If you're an English native speaker, do you ever use the word "minute" as a verb¹ to mean taking notes at a meeting?

A — I do
B — I would use the word, but that context normally doesn't come up in my life
C — I would not, because that meaning is archaic

(Boosts appreciated.)

¹ Emphasis on "as a verb". An example sentence would be to say "could you join us to minute the conversation?"

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

To keep #OpenStreetMap.org up and running while we're being deluged by scrapers, we've blocked 320,000+ primarily residential IPv4 addresses in the last 24 hours (+ 100,000 IPv6) involved in scraping.

If you need OSM data, please don't scrape the website - use the official downloads at https://planet.openstreetmap.org
