I'm not sure where the Linux kernel part comes from, but if I open the article and search for "linux" or "kernel", there are no matches...

Technically, "enforced pay it forward" is called credit. Your debt would then be "the amount you still have to pay forward".

Of course, this defeats both the spirit and the purpose of a pay it forward scheme.

I don't know - but I'm willing to get the instances where people were saved weren't calls from anonymous voip numbers.

Indeed. Linux ~~audio~~ also allows control characters like backspace to be part of a file name (though it is harder to make such file as you can't just type the name). Which is just horrible.

"Just works" is not a mentality imposed by Microsoft, and has nothing to do with loss of control. It's simply (a consequence of) the idea that things which can be automated, should be. It is about good defaults, not lack of options.

It's not an article about LLMs not using dialects. In fact, they have learned said dialects and will use them if asked.

What they did was, ask the LLM to suggest adjectives associated with sentences - and it would associate more aggressive or negative adjectives with African dialect.

Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

All (racial) bias in AI models is actually a reflection of the training data, not of the modelling.

It's certainly good, I'm not arguing that. My point is, if the wine team is interested, they can fork the unmaintained project, and work on that. Eventually, people will switch over to the active fork. What Microsoft is doing, is helping the process along, and making it easier. So it's good, and helpful - but not really a "donation" to winehq.

I guess it's simply the framing: It was a not very actively maintained open source project. So they've decided to turn it over to a new maintainer. Calling that 'donation' is a bit pushing it

I'm confused - why is Microsoft trying to - or expected to, by the article authors - patch a vulnerability in GRUB?

And who hasn't contributed any code to this particular repo (according to github insights).

 

This is a meta-question about the community - but seeing how many posts here are made by L4sBot, I think it's important to know how it chooses the articles to post.

I've tried to find information about it, but I couldn't find much.
