I started lemdro.id. Pretty cool domain name, right?

  • sure - but the unpaid volunteer building your free and open source software wants to go faster so they can spend less of their valuable time on it.

    In-general, if you feel this way, lead by example. Fork or contribute but don't just complain

  • So do I. You can structure and use the tools responsibly.

    Two things I really like using LLMs for right now:

    1). Search complex codebases for summaries of "how does this work". Especially if you are working outside of a project you normally work in, but your code still utilizes it and you want to understand some behavior (or at least know where to look).

    2.) PR reviews. I've been building a custom skill for awhile now that does a great second pass on PRs. I do my initial review, then sic the LLM on it. It often turns up small things I overlooked that are worth addressing.

    Currently, I use LLMs in more of a read-only manner, but I have had success in giving them well-structured easier tickets, if your project has good guidelines and you use the planning mode. You need to have an understanding of where you are working to even utilize these.

    I know it's an unpopular take, because the hive mind wants LLMs to fail SO bad here, but I think there is a usecase for these long-term for B2B software dev.

    That said, I generally disagree with the shoving LLMs into things. There are a lot of wasteful examples where companies replace a perfectly good deterministic thing with a token generator and then it gets worse.

  • yes - God forbid people try to use tools to enable them to get things done faster. If folks worked in software they'd see that LLMs will not be going away there. Folks need to understand that FOSS is not an exception here. They're welcome to fork and maintain things thanklessly themselves if they dislike it.

  • yes you are right and everyone else is a little uneducated for thinking this could actually be a fire risk

  • you are absolutely right. there is value to these in software engineering and the people who don't realize that and learn how and when to apply them will be left behind

  • Open Source in the age of license laundering

    Jump

  • The irony here is if you host your open source project somewhere where it isn't being scraped by LLMs your legal case might be weaker.

    What an interesting idea

  • [Update] Recent outage

    Jump

  • hey I appreciate it! I've never had a donation link and I've refused thus far to add one. I can afford it so I'm happy just to run it as-is.

    At one point I wanted to set up an OpenCollective, but it's quite a lot of work actually.

    I may post a donation link eventually, but for now no worries!

  • Yeah, fair. Where fiber can be run fiber should be run.

    Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn't happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.

    I mean damn, at least Starlink is providing a service

  • Not like these ones. I'm almost tired of having this discussion y'all are blinded by hatred.

    First full flow staged combustion engine, dramatically lower launch prices than competitors (cheaper for the government and has enabled more interesting things to go to space), dramatically more access (SpaceX flies multiple times a week!), booster recovery & rocket reuse.

    And again I know everyone really is blinded by their seething rage but starship is going to change the whole landscape again.

    You can hate the man as much as you want, I'm not saying I don't. But you discredit yourself by not knowing what SpaceX is actually doing.

    I mean, we still wouldn't have US access to space without SpaceX (Boeing fiasco...).

  • SpaceX has developed laundry list of new technology to enable Starlink and other endeavors. It's silly to discount that as worthless.

  • it's such a game changer when you're actually using it. night and day, completely different experience.

    also, GEO is in many regards more at risk for Kessler syndrome because stuff up there doesn't deorbit
