Even if “AI” worked (it doesn’t), there’s many reasons why you shouldn’t use it:
1. It’s destroying Internet sites that you love as you use chat bots instead of actually going to sources of information—this will cause them to be less active and eventually shut down.
2. Pollution and water use from server farms cause immediate harm; often—just like other heavy industry—these are built in underprivileged communities and harming poor people. Without any benefits as the big tech companies get tax breaks and don’t pay for power, while workers aren’t from the community but commute in.
3. The basic underlying models of any LLM rely on stolen data, even when specific extra data is obtained legally. Chatbots can’t learn to speak English just by reading open source code.
4. You’re fueling a speculation bubble that is costing many people their jobs—because the illusion of “efficiency” is kept up by firing people and counting that as profit.
5. Whenever you use the great cheat machine in the cloud you’re robbing yourself from doing real research, writing or coding—literally atrophying your brain and making you stupider.
It’s a grift, through and through.

Yay, I finally figured out how to build HTML documentation of my custom :nixos: #NixOS options. 🥳
Some thoughts:
- It still contains *all* normal NixOS options (it's a 13MB HTML file...)
- I don't see a way to filter for only my custom options - be it just by regex for example
- It's the documentation of *possible* options, doesn't include the actually chosen val…

Planets similar in size are often dissimilar in interior: #planets with similar radii, we show that their masses and interior structures are often disparate, indicating that even within the same system, similarity in radii is not necessarily a good proxy for similarity in composition or the physical nature of the planets."

LLM4Hint: Leveraging Large Language Models for Hint Recommendation in Offline Query Optimization
Query optimization is essential for efficient SQL query execution in DBMS, and remains attractive over time due to the growth of data volumes and advances in hardware. Existing traditional optimizers struggle with the cumbersome hand-tuning required for complex workloads, and the learning-based methods face limitations in ensuring generalization. With the great success of Large Language Model (LLM) across diverse downstream tasks, this paper explores how LLMs can be incorporated to enhance the …

rsyslog project ponders changing from tabs to spaces for C code.
"AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot and other code generators are heavily optimized for space-indented code. They often struggle to produce correct, tab-indented code, which limits our ability to use these tools effectively."
