A little confused by the association of "distillation" and "attack." Which individuals and companies are allowed to consider generated tokens their own for developing their product? If I develop a Typescript runtime or CLI Coding Assistant, am I allowed to use Claude outputs?
Started to use "droid" today, a very nice command-line agentic coding assistant by @FactoryAI. I used it to tune some complex LLM API calls in my code (looking at you, OpenAI /responses API!) The droid cli did a fabulous job! Without consuming tokens indiscriminately.
I have been very curious about very small LLMs lately, such as Gemma-3-270m, Qwen3-0.6b, LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B, etc. So I truly loved reading this informative and practical article.
just put some internal notes about small language models into a blogpost. nothing crazy, but I would love to find more hands-on people to talk with about it.

Keeping tabs on the very rapid development of sqruff by @quarylabs. Like sqlfluff, but Rusty and fast. We will see where this goes... github.com/quarylabs/sqruff

When configuratin sway wm, keybinding codes can be found with the wonderful tool wev by Drew DeVault, as in "wev -f wl_keyboard:key" git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/wev
Using and exploring @SQLFluff for both linting and auto-formatting SQL. Very flexible and configurable. Honestly, can't find better in the open source space. Actively developed. docs.sqlfluff.com/
Enjoying aiosqlite today. Does exactly what it is supposed to (async sqlite for Python), thanks to Amethyst Reese @n7cmdr and others. github.com/omnilib/aiosqlite
sudo has @SudoProject and a website!? I guess I didn't know there was one source of truth. Nice to keep up with this oft used command. sudo.ws/
Looking forward to presenting at OLF Conference (Ohio Linuxfest @ohiolinux) June 2. Titled: "Python: the Multi-tool for System Management" I am really excited about engaging others who work and play with Linux and open source. And I get to talk about Python!
I feel this all the time. I write SQL all day and get better and better at it, while Python, Go, Javascript/Typescript, and Rust (languages I want to learn or grow in) sometimes just seem aspirational.

This small change is remarkably significant...
Why did nobody tell me that in #Python 3.11, datetime.fromisotimestamp() can parse arbitrary ISO timestamps!? #gameChanger
(Before it could only parse the output from datetime.isoformat(); e.g. choking on timestamps ending with a Z for UTC.)
After years of contemplating, I finally did this: "git config --global pull.rebase true" and, yes, it does fit my workflow perfectly, and makes history logical. #EastSideOfTheBellCurve git-scm.com/docs/git-config#…
