In the discussions our project are having about how to approach LLM use in the community there has been a lot of consensus in the human taking ownership. Ultimately it's the human who has to direct the tool and if they have little interest other than blindly hitting accept then we're not interested in the contribution.

The policy itself is pretty sound and puts the emphasis on human ownership of the code while explicitly forbidding it for communication, commit messages and assets. It's trying to encourage disclosure and doesn't force any maintainer to take the code.

A lot of the drama seems to be around the code of conduct changes which seem to be a result of some very acrimonious debates within the community.

I suspect it's because it's legally harder to argue the Gaza incursion is in service of land expansion rather than "self defence". Have settlers started moving into Gaza?

I think lying to your GP is a bad path to take. The clinical pathways exist for a reason.

I'd love to know what these techniques are because as far as I can tell it's just to lie like it's going out of fashion and insist everything is "fake news". How do you inoculate against that?

The scary thing is the true believers think it's all a stitch up. When you hear them talk about how Farage would never do anything wrong they sound just like the MAGA folk in the States.

If you have ever read the "thought" process on some of the reasoning models you can catch them going into loops of circular reasoning just slowly burning tokens. I'm not even sure this isn't by design.

Watching #emacsconf today I was introduced to this open source project to act as an agent between #llm's and editors.

Has anyone played with this? Any experience in how one would sandbox an agent so it doesn't do anything outside the project directory?

This is depressing. I have relatives who are adopters and it seems this sort of behaviour of social workers is endemic in the system. The support is not there and when things break down they attack the parents to bully them into continuing at risk to themselves and their other kids.

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

Because OpenVPN is fiddly to set up and modern Wireguard setups seem to scale well enough.

Perhaps the biggest libvirt related piece of work here has been to reworking of the QMP API docs to make them easier to navigate. QMP is how libvirt probes for functionality as well as handling things like introspection of the machines and dealing with things like hotplug.

Post Office paid £600m to continue using Horizon despite its broken state. Hopefully this should be a wake up call to government about how it goes about large software projects.

In my opinion anything written for government should come with a full license for the source code (preferably open source) so they have the ability to change suppliers if there are any issues.

The kernel on GitHub is just a mirror - the primary source is on kernel.org

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

I just want to buy home automation gadgets that don't need a bloody cloud account to work.

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.

Don't be too hard on Collin. Looking back on the threads it's fairly clear he's been the victim of a social engineering attack on an overworked maintainer. People were pressuring him to hand over maintainership while expressing disappointment at the slow pace of development. The off-list contact by Jia must have seemed like a helpful enthusiastic solution to a burnt out developer.
