Doesn’t matter, that human is still the responsible party putting it there.

The whole premise here is weird anyway; unless you’re using a RAG designed to quote code, the chances that you end up in a perfectly identical environment needing exactly the same operation, AND it’s proprietary somehow, AND you’re the one working on it and wouldn’t know there was a proprietary feature (whatever that even means here) is astronomically low.

If you were writing a book with a handful of other people and you used an LLM which PERFECTLY reproduced a chapter of another book on the topic without attribution, whose fault would that be? It’s not like there are software 2 liners that are just off limits for use, so besides the fact that it would be crazy unlikely to reproduce a perfect copy of a huge block of code, the chances of you working in the Linux kernel for example, getting your commit added to the official version, and not knowing it’s proprietary by looking at it is, IMO, so unlikely it’s not an argument against culpability.

Maybe if you’re vibe coding an app from scratch on your personal GitHub or something (even then the odds of perfect recapture are stupid low), but it’s not really possible or a good argument here.

Edit: I guess the obvious exception here is if some LLM provider DID train a model to use whole pieces of code and strip attributions and licensing. In that case, I don’t see how they survive getting sued into the ground.

It’s the same as when you use any generative tool: if your name is on it, it’s your problem, tools aren’t accountable.

How do you verify that no human has given a proprietary snippet? 🤔

I think that will require you to do some passthrough for drives and hardware which may not be trivial. If you’re close to something working, stick to it. Otherwise I think that VM road is mostly pain. Caveat: I have not tried to do VM stuff in probably 10 years so it could be easier now.

You’ve got two things going on:

1. If you are trying to switch, a virtual machine is a bad way to start and it’s the hard way. What you really want is to use Rufus or something (easy Google) to make you a bootable USB and you just boot in and play around. It MAY require you to change boot order in BIOS if you plug it in and reboot and nothing happens, but that’s an easy fix
2. You want to ask for help. You only get “beat up” if it looks like you did nothing first and you are asking people to do it for you. Pretty much every place you go if you can say, “I want to do X, it doesn’t work so I tried Y and Z.” Nobody will say shit to you. Also, on Lemmy if you say you’re new, people like me and the other guy who replied will probably offer to just DM us directly (which for me you can).

While I agree with you, I feel like the more effective way to reduce risk on the road is to take the implications here all the way to their logical conclusions. Some people ARE a little slower, a little less reactive, more likely to take risks, or less capable behind the wheel.

It seems to me that the testing process to pilot a personal road missile ought to take a page from this and be more frequent and more strict.

Yes and I even volunteered to plan it. We didn’t have one until 20 years and it was nice to see how people all kind of become normal. Even the kids that were assholes were reasonable to talk to and several apologies were made.

I went to a smallish high school (a handful more than 100 per grade) and all of us were together since kindergarten. Some people flat out said they wouldn’t come and I think they missed out.

We had some teachers show up that were still in town. Some dude was like “hey dream_weasel I’m sorry I used to pick on you here’s why I did”, and some ancient crushes and gossip got revealed. It was on the whole pretty fun. I think we will do one for 25 years now.

Edit: All the “no” in this thread is wigging me out. Morbid curiosity would have made me say yes at some point.

Lady G has left the building.

I have a friend who took that road. He adopted a 13 year old from a bad situation. Said kid is now a college graduate. It seems like that is a rewarding path without as many moving parts.

As a father of two though I can tell you I have repeatedly said to my wife “I have no idea how single parents can do this.”. They do it because they don’t have a choice mostly, but you absolutely do. Make sure you’ve prepared yourself as much as possible and maybe try some extended solo kid time (2+ or better 3+ days) if you have friends with younger kids. It’s not complicated, but it’s not easy by any means.

Yep. Same. It’s not that big of a deal, and it doesn’t even matter that you can go see what I downvoted.

Does it matter if people know publicly that you downvoted something? I feel like if I’m going to downvote I don’t need to hide it, but then maybe I’ve just got a confrontational streak sometimes.

Idk sometimes I’m reading a long a deep thread and someone who was arguing in good faith starts acting like a petulant toolbag. I will give downvotes then when they are 1-0, but I always kind of worry in the back of my mind that whoever I gave a downvote to will just think it’s the other guy. Other people read deeper on threads than you would think.

I would have to say sleep injuries and slowdown of body function.

I used to be a stomach sleeper and now my arms and hands go to sleep right away. If I lay on my side and don’t have a pillow, whichever knee is on top will sag and hurts like a bitch for a day and a half afterward.

Body-function-wise, I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and stay in shape, that is increasingly less true. To keep in shape I spend more time being hungry and also having to make better decisions about food; you don’t just turn out a nice turd no matter what after about 33 and the alternatives are not great. Also alcohol is nowhere near as friendly as it used to be: if I have enough to drink that I get a buzz now, I will be sick the next day until like 2 in the afternoon.

Sheesh I guess I’ll have to try again. I didn’t like that it seemed shallow and… without a plan? Like you get some mild character explanation through time but it is mostly just kind of surface level/shock value weird.

Which is ridiculous. I’ve read one book since the weekend.

It should be made clear though that there are book and there are Books. I feel like this question is about the latter and those are not the ones you had to read in as part of your middle/high school curriculum. Also the one that I read probably doesn’t qualify as a capital B book.

Everyone? Idk. For most people though GTD is pretty high on my list.

Is it like his other books? Slaughterhouse 5 was totally and completely terrible. IMO.

Idk probably about $250

Google what to start growing this time of year that is easy.

Go to the seed section in your hardware store or go to rareseeds.com and get a few things. Get some soil and a big pot same time. Or hell, buy some already started plants.

seedtime.us app sign up then unsubscribe to mailers if you want to know when exactly to prep/plant/harvest for your specific area. No guesswork.

Congrats you are now a gardener.

Write down when you do things like plant and water and then you can research any problems or improvements for the next year.

“Drug companies sell drugs to make you more sick!” vibes.
