Open Source and AI

More and more frequently, I get asked about my stance on AI in the context of programming. This is my attempt to summarize my stance for those who wonder.

Antoine Beaupré: The Four Horsemen of the LLM Apocalypse

I have been battling Large Language Models (LLM1) for the past couple of weeks and have struggled to think about what it means and how to deal with its fallout.

Because the fight has come from many fronts, I've come to articulate this in terms of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Unintentionally hilarious User Agent strings

Kotiverkko

Valjastin viikonloppuna vanhan pöytäkoneeni Proxmox-käyttöön ja samalla vanha palvelinkoneeni pääsee viettämään ansaittuja eläkepäiviä. Ajattelin, että tämä voisi olla hyvä hetki kirjoittaa siitä, miten olen verkkoni rakentanut ja miten valvon sen toimintaa.

Oma verkkoni on varsin yksinkertainen. Yksinkertainen on tietenkin suhteellinen käsite. Tiedän, että joillakin…
