Been getting into PHP project dev lately with lots of fixes going in, but none of that would be possible without feedback & pr reviews from other core devs.
Thank you for your often thankless work

EU never fails to demonstrate "democracy" in action:

Somehow (314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions), translates to motion passing...
A few times now had a run-away testsuite consume all memory, in part due to the fact on CLI, php runs without a memory limit by default.
@sebastian@phpc.social Any thoughts about adding default limit (even a large on 1G) to phpunit by default?
Genuinely enjoyed the article, a rare piece that covers both sides as opposed to picking one extreme.
One section I think is a bit more nuanced is around energy, AI (datacenters) do use lots of power, but they are not dissimilar to a factory using widgets, which brings value. Solution seems like a way to focus on scaling power generation as opposed to imposing limits.

@misty@digipres.club Yes, it is 100% risk, but the same risk exist with any in-the-cloud service no matter the geography.
Gov't overreach, or corporate decision/malfeasance can remove/restrict access.

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech Every tech cycle comes with its own hype cycle, which lately is mega amplified by social media.
Doesn't help there are absolutely massive amounts of money involved & at stake, so there is a real financial incentive to keep it going.
That being said, I personally find LLM a helpful tool for development and it is of great use to me. But that's ultimately my perspective & use-case.

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech As I said, there is lots of money involved, so there are people with financial incentive to promote/perpetuate the hype.
LLM/AIs are a tool, like most tools it is a tool with real uses and real limitations, ability to extract utility from it often depends on the operator.
To dismiss the tool's utility outright, is at minimum short sighted.

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech That was a general statement.
That being said to me last 3 paragraphs in your original post seemed to indirectly imply that (at least that's how it read to me). Perhaps in-part, because there was no acknowledgment of the utility potential anywhere...

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech You are not obligated do no anything, but that goes both ways, I choose to engage with what I want.
You choose to present a one-sided argument, it certainly has a degree of merit which I acknowledged. But it is one-side of the coin, I am pointing out there is another.

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech Once you post something publicly is no longer is "your space" it becomes public discourse.
You stated and I quote "That's why there's the constant claims about what AI models can supposedly do, that are debunked two days later"
You made a general, blanket statement, implying lack of utility. Where in-fact there are multiple examples of claims that are true and plenty that are not. So it is a mix...
When suggesting reflection, it helps to look in the mirror 1st ;-)

@mpe@hcommons.social The interesting bit they fine is actually for the storage of books they acquired illicitly, not actually the use of books for training, that part was confirmed as fair-use.

@Daojoan@mastodon.social Nothing wrong with "infinite content", reducing the barrier for people exercise their creativity, which imho is a great thing.
Yeah, a lot of might not be great, but there without a doubt will be many great things too.
And people DO talk a lot about their dreams.

@ramsey@phpc.social I have some home cooked guards that work fairly well so far 🤞 , but I heard good things about https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/destructive_command_guard
Might help

@sebastian@phpc.social Fair enough, thanks. It is a fairly painful error of sorts, but your point taken.
