Can you be more specific?


Water is lost in drops a year to the universe. It’s raining somewhere. The EU having a poor memory of historical weather patterns.

Yes, I think climate change is real and we need to fix it. Droughts have been recorded in history for centuries, long before climate change would have ever existed.

Let’s fix the climate, let’s also try and be rational about historical regional weather patterns.


First, Gatekeeper was introduced, but you could globally set in system preferences if unsigned software is enabled. Then this setting option was removed. What will come next? I do not know but I started to migrate off the ecosystem. Just in case.

(At least on macOS one can still disable routined. Unlnike on iOS.)


On the other hand homebrew maintainers a deprecating software that is not signed (like Allacritty and Librecad).


Common sense would be not prioritising inefficient technology to automate few things and instead invest in people?


> vehicle sizes in all other countries have also been increasing

Yes SUVs are more common in Europe now but still size is much smaller than in US.


I just wish Homebrew was not planning to remove packages because of this.

Is there workaround? Probably. But macos lost benefit of OS X's "it just works". Time to move elsewhere I guess.


Yeah, I think this is a terrible decision on Homebrew's part. Lots of people said that to the Homebrew maintainers and they refused to budge.


Or the Prince.


> AI is eroding copyright, so there may no longer be a need for the GPL. GNU should stop and rethink its stance, chuck away the GPL as the main tool to fight evil software corporations and embrace LLM as the main weapon.

Is this LLM thing freely available or is it owned and controlled by these companies? Are we going to rent the tools to fight "evil software corporations"?


There already are LLMs with open weights that are better at code than state of the art closed source models from a year ago. For now, you most people may have to rent the hardware to run those models, since it's too expensive for most people to own something that can run inference on one trillion parameters, but I wouldn't consider LLMs to be controlled by "evil software corporations" at this point.

A year ago, the "state of the art" models were total turds. So this isn't exactly good news

Not to mention the performance of local LLMs makes them utterly unusable unless you have multiple tens of thousands to invest in hardware (and that was before the recent price spike). If you're using commodity hardware, they're just awful to use.


Open models do exist. They’re nowhere near aa good as frontier models, but they’re getting better all the time.

It’s probably only a matter of time before open models are as good as Claude code is today.


With the release of GLM-5, I would say that they are pretty much almost as good. Basically 90% as good as Opus 4.6 on most tasks for 20% of inference cost, and open weights.


easy, we ask Claude to write an open-source freely-available version of Claude with equal or better capabilities.


Make no mistakes.


This comment needs another 'EDIT'.


I tested it using a local keyword, as I normally do, and it took me to a Wikipedia page I didn’t know existed. So thanks for that.


It will throw up weird and interesting results sometimes ;-)
