Meta has released an open source AI tool called Automated Sensitive Document Classification. It was originally built for internal use and is designed to find sensitive information in documents and apply security labels automatically. The tool uses customizable classification rules and works with files that contain readable text. Once labeled, the documents can be protected from unauthorized access or excluded from AI systems that use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

The yes command in Linux is often underrated, but it can be quite useful when combined with other tools in a pipeline. It automatically outputs a string repeatedly—by default, “y”—and this can be piped into commands that require user confirmation. This can be especially handy in testing, automation, or scripting. For example, when installing packages, you might use yes to bypass the confirmation prompt. For more on scripting and system setup, check out our guide on how to install Kernel 6.15 on Ubuntu.

However, it’s important to note that yes is not always the ideal solution. When available, it’s better to use the appropriate flags that make commands non-interactive (like -y or --assume-yes). This method is safer and more reliable, especially in production scripts. Blindly piping yes into commands can lead to unexpected consequences if those commands prompt for destructive actions. For more efficient scripting practices, explore tools like grep tricks for ps or understanding symbolic and hard links in Linux and Unix.
