SO real question, I thought I had learned a number of GNU sub proojects had draft moritoriums on LLM-generated code, of significant copyrightable size; until there was a finalized GNU policy?

BUT many projects that had adopted an interim policy were also GCC adjacent.

AND with all the hoopla about GCC finalizing it's policy; im wondering if if maybe I was mistaken? AND that many GCC-adjacent projects were just planning on following GCC's lead there?

OR is there still a GNU-wide policy pending?

OR is the GCC's policy effectively GNU wide?

Anyone know?

"If you make that policy for your project, honest people will stay away, but the dishonest people will remain. Therefore you shouldn't have that policy."

Yeah, I dunno. I don't think people should shape the policies of their projects for the convenience of the dishonest.

Renee has a favorite knife but it's hard to distinguish from the others when stored in the knife rack. I decided to put a nice red end on the handle using dip rubber, aka liquid electrical tape. It's often used to put a grippy rubber overcoat on a tool handle, but works well for smaller things too, like the knob of a violin bow so it's not got sharp corners.

The problem is that the stuff is in a tube and always separates, like peanut butter in a jar, so I did what any normal person would do.

AMD announces 4gb 'gaming' GPU

the entire tech media is panning AMD and NVIDIA for only putting 8GB on many of their cards, so AMD of course did the worst thing possible.

I must not take the bait.

Reaction is the mind-killer.

I will face the rage bait.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the rage bait has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

If I'm having an ADHD flare up I should try designing out that ADHD simulator I've been meaning to make so that when my meds finally get sorted I can actually make it.

Right now it feels like there is a layer of treacle/fuzz that sits between most things I want to do but doesn't sit in front of more impulsive actions. (Think, le doomscrolling and to a lesser extent some of the stuff I do with Strudel). Getting anything done either means invoking the anxiety/willpower/deadlines or tricking the impulsive part of the brain that doing the boring thing is worth it.

I kinda imagine it to be a visual novel where invoking choices has an energy cost that varies on the kind of choice and you have to balance making the right choices with all of the sodding energy costs. Meanwhile everyone around you is like "why can't you do basic tasks?????" because they're not having to deal with cost/choice balances.

I was wondering about using UI fuckery to simulate ADHD (e.g. making it literally harder to control the more impulsive choices) but that might be more frustrating than fun.

Anyway you are free to steal my idea (but not put it through an LLM) as the timeline for getting this thing made is basically "lol I have ADHD".

You can tell who has privilege by who gets to claim "good faith."

The oppressed never receive the benefit of the doubt. They're always political actors pushing an agenda, a radical change, a threat to tradition, even when the request is a simple "stop hurting me."
