@jonocarroll great post - I've also got on my todo list to look at mage.ai - https://www.mage.ai - since the coding blocks support #rstats and I got them to support renv::use() back in the day for packages needed by the block

Replacing #aiSafety with #gunSafety in sentences makes me realize more and more that the problem is human behavior and just ... safety.

@thatdnaguy@genomic.social nope - 32 bit integers and 64 bit decimals (which then only have so many bits of precision)

If the AI-generated code is so great, why do I not have a version of R that supports 64-bit integers!!!

RE: @yacc143@mastodon.social

Read the @404mediaco@mastodon.social article and then watched the FOSDEM video as well. Literally came here to say "AI generated code is public domain" and the side comment is that "AI generated code is not CVE-free" (well, it might be for a short period of time...)

@sonjdol what technology? Spark clusters with a data modeling layer feeding models and a low/no-code app building capability? Palantir software is not all that and a bag of chips. And there were so many educated women in that app and data pipeline development business.

Replying to @sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social
@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social the “ai agent” cannot own the copyright on the code it produces so that might be one reason not to add anything to the author list - that said any code produced needs to be identified as you might have to check if it was copied from any training code (and the license requirements of that code). pyOpenSci and rOpenSci just wrote up new policies on this.

@inthehands this just makes me love the fediverse even more - played great on standard web client (hachyderm.io). That said, if we are talking 5/4 music then XTC's English Roundabout is more my jam. I'd have to change the lyrics to something more "long long ago in a distant galaxy" appropriate.
