unless you have it sandboxed in a flatpack container

seema like concentrated effort to steer linux desktop in a certain direction

As I have said many times: license washing works both ways, this is the end of proprietary software as we know it, no more would I have a need to install a sketchy driver inside a windows VM just to use some crap USB microscope

It might discourage new contributors and create a sort of chicken and egg situation, also a vouch system has the inherent risks of being camped by bots

What kind of criteria or tests are you imagining?

I am imagining a sandbox environment where the test taker is provided with a medium tier capable LLM, and they are given tasks things like

• given a huge codebase, can you implement a new feature following the coding standards of the codebase and minimally changing the existing code
• a job to change something and follow the cascading effects through all the files it touches, fixing it without breaking things elsewhere
• ability to reign in a LLM that is doing more than you asked it to do

I am sure more experienced people would lay out more scenarios to test for

A certificate after a test would only show capability, not continued practice. So my confidence in it wouldn’t be very high. Demonstrated practice seems more applicable than some cert some time ago. Some people chase certs to check boxes rather than prove or apply the practice.

True, but then again a guarantee that the person knows what they are doing is better than no guarantee at all

in my mind a slop kiddie is no different than a script kiddie, both use the tools they have found with no understanding of how it works, both rarely contribute anything meaningfully new.

as such there are tells, of course I am not suggesting we ignore every anonymous PR, but the ones that broadly fit into certain patterns

who is funding this?

Hopefully some non profit

who gets to decide?

By some new standards community that isn’t biased towards corporate

the real.issue is, there has always been slop submissions but the barrier of entry wa shigh so few people in civilization had the skill and fewer even attempted to submit. now every si gle person alive can submit.

That is what I am hoping my idea would solve

Hey, if we don’t democratize the ability to get that single score some corporate will start charging money to do it and in a few years that will become the standard

drown out the slop. If a slop kiddie makes a 600+ diff PR, you can safely ignore it, but if a license holder makes a PR you consider it.

Is it really gambling if you can tweak the output of the machine at will to win big every time?

Fingers crossed Gnome follows suit! :)

Fingers crossed they wont.

Yes, kinda expected it

kill computers

what did the artist draw this on then?

you can do the opensource thing and fork it to remove the features you dont like.

also i have not looked at the src myself but its main purpose is use with local llms which can be reduced to mean: all your generated and collected data stays on your device.

true, but those people imo are the equivalent of script kiddies(vibe kiddies?)

check out the mario kart wii decomp

there are already decomp efforts of proprietary games that are accelerated thanks to LLMs, so yes

you know, license washing can work both ways

I truly despise that we stopped innovating on CRTs when flat panels came along.
