  • My code has always been free software so I don’t object to it being in the training sets because that seems fair use according to the four freedoms.

    But what about the output of an LLM that was trained on free software, then being used in closed source, commercial software? 🙁

    inefficient CI loops retesting the whole world for a single line change. Think of savings that could be made!

    Oh yeah, I’m definitely with you there. Oh gosh.

    They probably should be up in arms! Both are bad things, simultaneously, as two things can be!









  • I remember when I used to have swap enabled. It used to be very slow, back in the days when we used swap in mechanical drives. The computer would just freeze for a second while swapping, lol.

    So I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around why swapping would not be something you want to avoid—why it would be beneficial for performance. If you can prevent the need for swapping, that’s the best outcome, surely? The only solution to which would be to have enough pure RAM installed in the system.

    But I think I get you? You mean you “want” to swap when the memory runs out?
