Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.
tl;dr:
- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.
- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.
- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.
- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.
@neil This was better than expected.

@neil that’s still a pro-slop policy

@neil I'm worried about the copyright aspect. If, as it looks like at least for the US, AI generated code doesn't qualify for copyright then it cannot be licensed either.

@neil @bert_hubert a bit sad to see this will only apply to code / app contributions

@neil "If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it."
Sooo nobody can submit any AI assisted nontrivial contribution? Got it.

@neil Supposing the Ai can solve more problems then the sum of its creators; if those were doctors, teachers, scientists, lawyers, artists, carers, administrators, politicians and soldiers etc. would corporate investors want it if their raison d’être is profiteering from ecocide, gambling, exploitation, stealing, war, terror and destroying essential resources? #philosophy #Ai

@AVincentInSpace only if you trained it yourself afaik.
@requiem @AVincentInSpace @neil
i don't trust anything ai generated
that doesn't mean i automatically trust anything human generated
but certainly one has the pretense of care and consideration, while the other is YOLO

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk human-over-ai, but LLMs are still welcome? That doesn't really make much sense.

@neil I think this is the best balance you can get in an open source project where the risk is always going to be long term sustainability of a project

@neil Unclear why they don't just decline AI contributions since it is literally impossible to guarantee the provenance and legal safety of AI generated code...

@neil so basically, human over AI means people just have to be honest they're feeding you slop, got it

@benroyce @requiem @AVincentInSpace @neil I'd say it's YoDEL (You Don't Even Live) if the slopmachine is a chief actor.

@monsieuricon I hate this.

Montreal is about to be hit by a bad ice storm -- 2-3 cm of ice on everything forecasted. I hope they got it wrong, but if not, I may lose power for a few days.
May be time to invest into an ecoflow home battery and a vehicle that can do v2h.

I have a No Soliciting sign on my door, which salespeople often ignore, and I get grumpy about it. But, a Sonic fiber internet sales person just came to the door claiming it is now available here and gave me a card for two months free, so I'm slightly less mad about it. Though I suspect it's a lie. They've been sending me flyers for years and every time I check it is not available.
I'm gonna check again, anyway, as I hate the cable company and they're charging me twice as much for slow service.

Prepararsi al pi day 2026
Quest'anno mettere in piedi il Carnevale della Matematica del 14 marzo, che sarà peraltro la 195.ma edizione, non è stato per nulla semplice. Il motivo è che il giorno del pi day sarò sul treno per rientrare da Firenze, dove a partire dall'11 marzo sarà in svolgimento Didacta, fiera della didattica italiana. Ho, quindi, costretto gli altri matematti a inviarmi con congruo anticipo i loro contributi (e nel frattempo ho anche cercato di impostare delle bozze, non sia mai che riesca a raccontarvi qualcosa da Didacta a fine serata!), per cui non ho preparato nessun contenuto video da lanciare in contemporanea o in anteprima al Carnevale. E allora ecco l'idea di proporre in un post apposito un paio di news di MaddMaths! dedicate proprio al pi day e che sarebbero state decisamente vecchie uscendo all'interno del Carnevale:
Tutte le info per segnalare gli eventi dedicati alla Giornata intenazionale della matematica: per questa edizione il tema è Matematica e speranzaInoltre c'è anche una pagina con alcune attività da organizzare per il pi day. All'interno troverete alcune schede in italiano per attività a tema matematico (e pi greco!).Anche se mancano ancora pochi giorni al #piday, c'è comunque ancora un po' di tempo per segnalare eventi o lasciarsi ispirare dalle attività proposte!

@oblomov @mcc @grumpygamer
After reading up on this a bit I can semi-confidently say that this branching process with d6s will continue infinitely. The highest chance of it terminating is of course in the first or second roll, but after that chances of terminating become infinitesimally small.

@oblomov @mcc @grumpygamer hi! It seems like you've stumbled upon the lovely mathematical genre of problem called 'branching processes' and 'extinction probabilities'. I don't know how to calculate this, but I can show you where to look.
Tbis Reddit post had a similar idea to you: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/s/jH1LzTXROe
This is the wiki page on branching processes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_process?wprov=sfla1
