  • rsyslog goes "AI first", for what reason? no one knows.

    Opening ipython greeted me with this: "Tip: IPython 9.0+ has hooks to integrate AI/LLM completions."

    I wish open source projects would stop doing this.

  • Thanks for the work you do on Newgrounds! This sentence stuck out to me

    No more worrying about lack of content or fickle UGC creators

  • I misinterpreted this reply as the guy in the post being hired as a police officer. Thank god.

  • ChatGPT o3 found a Linux Kernel vulnerability. "The future" has an 8% success rate, and a 28% chance of false positives.
  • Yet another LLM guy claiming it solved a problem when in fact it was already solved, with it being told almost exactly where and what to look for. Cold reading for use-after-frees.

  • The Wikibooks book on statistics is surprisingly decent. Hopefully it inspires the reader to acknowledge that there are a lot more things to study apart from Bayes.

  • Credulous coverage of AI slop on Wikipedia
  • So perhaps one alternative way to estimate their quality is to check the number of citations, many have more than 100 citations, which is a sign of quality

    Andrew Wakefield's 1998 paper has 457 citations on PubMed
