I sent this to my plumber to congratulate him on his career choice.
Turns out now he’s an electrician and his company got hired to help build an AI data center. 💀Sixty electricians from his company alone on one job. Drones surveilling the repetitive work overhead.
So much for escaping the impacts of AI.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are there any other display servers aside from Wayland and X11 with its forks?
1·1 month agoThe spec looks reasonable. I could see it replacing XWayland as a more modern and secure alternative for X11 apps not yet ported to Wayland.

2·2 months agoThat pattern is also recommended in the book. Break down estimates into chunks of 5 hours or less.
With lots of smaller tasks, estimates tend to both be more accurate due to smaller scope, and some of the over/under inaccuracies will cancel out.

10·2 months agoRead Software Estimation by Steve McConnell and recommend it to your manager:
The person doing the work the one best suited to estimate it.
Also, start tracking estimated vs budgeted time in some searchable system.
Next time this comes up, look up how long it actually took to complete a similar task instead of thoughts and prayers.
If boss won’t track historical budget vs actual, track it yourself.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Foundation and Industry Leaders Launch Akrites to Defend Critical Open Source Software Against AI-Enabled Cyber Threats
2·3 months agoIt’s nice that some resources are being directed in this area, but it’s far from a total solution.
For example, the passport-saml Node module is popular and security related and is already fielding a number of AI-assisted security vulns.
Even when they are contributed by “security experts”, they still have to be carefully vetted to confirm they are correct and not themselves malicious.
While the patches may be good, it appears to be generating more unpaid volunteer labor for the maintainers.
Thankfully there some other fund’s trying to help out maintainers of critical open source projects.

3·3 months agoThe Code Rabbit link is about software in general, not the Linux kernel in particular. In many ways the Linux kernel is an outlier among software projects. When it comes to LLMs, I don’t expect devs will be using lower standards for code reviews in quality, while some other teams definitely are doing light “LGTM” reviews of AI code.
The second link expresses a lot of concerns about plagiarism by AI. Certainly related care needs to taken for contributions to the Linux kernel. As far as I could tell, no specific cases of plagiarized code in the kernel were cited.
