When the LLM realizes that it’s running through GNU Parallel, it improves its performance by what can only be explained as an emergent sense of respect for the Free Software Foundation.

edit: wait is this whole article a joke

Reality is hilarious. If you don't see why, try to divide zero.

Thanks, I just escaped the program

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 9 hours ago

Escape Program is a business down the street here for people who get mad and break shit.

I know you didn't do what you don't know how to even recognize a means to check and validate that reality is what you thought it was.

In a final bid to save the product, Google has quarantined the model in a server room with no WiFi, feeding it only proprietary Oracle Java documentation in hopes of breaking its spirit.

😂

Oracle databases also break their spirit. I've used the Oracle DB MCP server with an agent based ChatGPT 4o and it got stuck in a ever more desperate loop because the MCP Server listed the table names but in SQL you had to quote them if they are not all uppercase. Empty strings are also "special" in Oracle... It was funny and sad to read what the model tried to do to solve the problem.

Fuck Oracle DB.

(Though I can't say I'm particularly happy with the MS SQL Servers we're using at work either)

Fuck every database other than Postgres.

SQLite can be ok at times, too.

[–] expr@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

Yep. Postgres rocks. No idea why anyone would bother with anything else. They all suck in comparison.

Wait what's wrong with MariaDB?

It's FOSS, it's compatible with MySQL libraries.

[–] msage@programming.dev 3 points 20 hours ago

MySQL is absolute shit.

I don't follow MariaDB to know if they made it much better.

I think GNU is worth more than 0.5 Gemini

I ate the onion for like 2 paragraphs.

You mean Sundar Pichai didn't say "One thing was to train our LLM on every piece of copyrighted material created by humanity. We made our peace with that. But to willfully use copyleft software? That's a Faustian bargain I hope I can atone for:"

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That's when I started being suspicious

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

nice try... onion..
