I’m a little hesitant to use that link, wasn’t there recently something about a lot of archive websites using visitors for ddos attacks or something similar?

The archive site recently caught doing ddos attacks was archive.today (which also uses the domains .fo, .is, .li, .md, .ph, and .vn). This is a site run by a pseudonymous individual since 2012. Here is the wikipedia article about them.

The link in my comment above is to archive.org, which is a very reputable organization called The Internet Archive which has been operating since 1996 and definitely would not use its visitors’ browsers for ddos attacks. Here is the wikipedia article about them.

Know the difference :)

Also, btw, while the latter is older, larger, and vastly more credible, the former uses different archiving techniques which enable them to have archives of many things which the latter doesn’t. So, it does continue to also be a useful tool, albeit one of last resort.

I’ll compile from source

yfw you find out getting access to a compiler requires an ID check

did an LLM get involved in your dictionary somehow? (why are four of these six definitions very minor rephrasings of each other?)

Fwiw, the American Heritage Dictionary has only one definition; the other two are in wiktionary (which has citations for both).

some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all

POV: You haven’t updated Arch for 5 minutes

Comparing the date on the tweet with the date when arch released go-2:1.26.1-1, it appears that it had been over a week since the last upgrade.

It’s a library for detecting which character encoding a string is encoded with.

Here are the docs for the vibe-coded rewrite, and here is the version before it.

The new vibe-coded version also adds language detection; it isn’t clear to me why the current version of the readme shows it classifying the string "It’s a lovely day — let’s grab coffee." as Spanish with 99% confidence, without any comment in the docs about that being a misclassification, but I guess that if the LLM-authored program says it is then that must be one of those phrases that looks the same in Spanish as in English 👀

is it time for a Windows edition of the classic Jamiroquai sound meme?

alias thanks="You are most welcomed"

you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something:

alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)

https://gitlab.com/edneville/please (a sudo alternative)

maybe it would be better to say that it is stochastically accurate?

also btw icymi, this is a post about LLMs

i think i get Candand (what some Barnes & Noble spam once rendered C++ as?) but, what is borsuk language?

💯

hopefully a FOSS organization will hire the person who made this

Reputable news source “GLOBAL FACTZ”

😂

Fwiw, before reposting this meme, I actually checked to make sure that the underlying “weird news” story here was not solely reported by random clickbait fake news sites but was also covered by an actual news organization.
