> Hah. Well it is now...just copy & paste the GPL's text and append that one condition.

Section 7 of the GPL (version 3) explicitly gives the user the right to remove that additional condition. So if you want it to be effective, you will at the least need to remove section 7 from your copied GPL. Then, you'll need to remove the preamble and instructions to avoid the Free Software Foundation's ire (they're being generous in allowing you to modify the license test at all).

Ultimately, it goes against the spirit of the GPL so much (and against the point of FOSS in general) that it would be entirely unjustifiable to use the GPL as the foundation for such a proprietary, source-available licence.

I was making the opposite point — if you hate it, you hate it — regardless of whether it is AI or not.

You're having a problem with liking it only to find out later it is AI?

Again, live music is the way to go then. Also, artists I like the most have a body of work that I like. If AI can fake that — create a body of work I like, cam relate to ... well, I guess I have to give credit to the machine.

+1. You can put together a DMCA claim in... maybe five minutes? It's extremely straightforward and doesn't require you to do anything beyond identify the infringing work, identify what work of yours it infringes upon, and affirm that it's not authorized.

You realize that consent in this case is just what we refer to as "authorization", right? And it is absolutely within any website operator's rights to only authorize their site for certain users and for certain purposes.

Websites are not "public resources"; site operators just mostly choose to allow the general public to access them. There's no legal requirement that they do so.

If you want anti-discrimination laws that apply to businesses to also cover bots, that is well outside of current law. A site operator can absolutely morally and legally decide they do not allow non-human visitors, just like a store can prohibit pets.

oh and as stupid as it might sound, but: we're confident that we can simply be better. Our roadmap is full of things that go way beyond the current capabilities, but everything is focussed on one goal: Make building production-grade (and pretty) frontends as easy as possible.

Sounds cheesy, but the focus on really really nailing this one thing sets us apart we think.

This reminds me of when I provided some impressions of Erlang as a newcomer to their mailing list.

One of my suggestions was that they include hash tables, rather than rely on records (linked lists with named key). Got flamed as ignorant, and I've never emailed that mailing list again. A while later, they ended up adding hash tables to the language.

i'll concede you're probably right. In the late 1990s i had a Promise ATA 100mbit IDE card, and i swore that someday, i would have an IDE connection to the internet. Now, my CPE is called a terminal, but it's some proprietary cable from the terminal to the router. And my upstream isn't quite 100mbit (on starlink; it's about 40-50. On at&t 4g LTE it was 30-65mbit/s upstream).

so i'm still not at IDE speeds, yet. maybe on my cellphone in the metro i get that speed, though...

Wow I really didn’t think this would happen any time soon, they seem to have more to lose than to gain.

If you’re a company building AI into your product right now I think you would be irresponsible to not investigate how much you can do on open weights models. The big AI labs are going to pull the ladder up eventually, building your business on the APIs long term is foolish. These open models will always be there for you to run though (if you can get GPUs anyway).

I wonder what hardware you've been buying. I've tried Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Intel OEM, Toshiba, ASRock, and a half dozen others. I never saw any of them run Windows (OEM or from Microsoft), Linux, or MacOS X (on the Mac) reliably.

The most recent Intel machine that did work reliably is now 15 years old (and humming along nicely, for what it's worth).

Sure, they had Linux drivers, but they also would do crap like kernel panic, unsuspend in my laptop and overheat, screw up USB, and so on. They did it under all operating systems.

My current desktop is an AMD system on chip. It's great, except it has an Intel WiFi/Bluetooth module. There's been a bug open against all Intel Bluetooth modules for about a decade:

They fail to advertise themselves in a timely fashion at boot, so the intel driver (Linux or Windows) doesn't see them so you have to keep rebooting until it does (or write a bash script that retries modprobe).

Here's the manual for the wildly popular ASUS bluetooth dongle that works around this crap by not using an Intel part. Look at page 1 where they show you how to disable the Windows driver for your existing Bluetooth radio, which apparently can't coexist with a second bluetooth adapter under windows:

https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/usb-bt500/helpdesk_manua...

(Manual revision U24085 will do -- it's the top in the list).

I'll give you one guess: Which brand has the bug that requires the workaround?

People, professionals, aren't so stationary.

You are right, they will do something, and that something will become violent when the rule of order breaks down as a result of these basic underlying aspects.

People aren't static, but neither are they so dynamic that they can learn exponentially, expertise which took education and years to learn cannot compete with free, and lets remember people age and die, and expertise is only gained by doing the job the first rung on that experience ladder. The nature of the asymptote that people fail to realize is, the asymptote isn't at its given value when you see the whole, it trails off as it approaches certain points exponentially. Sometimes to infinity.

You can't compete with slavery, and in the case of AI, you have a digital facsimile of a person that is a slave being used by people that don't have that knowledge. It may be able to go on just long enough that there won't be any experts left by the time everything starts breaking down (which happens frighteningly quickly, typically within 10 years).

There is a train, its on tracks and those tracks go over a cliff, but that cliff is around the bend, and no one knows someone's switched the route to over that cliff, they didn't notice. The conductor keeps feeding the fuel, full steam ahead, and what happens with mass is you have inertia and between the end of the tracks and the rocky shore below? Trains don't stop on a dime.

Its an asymptote, and the nature of cascading failures is that by the time the average person realizes you have a problem, there isn't anything you can do to fix it, that is the difference between average and intelligent, and likewise the average person can't avoid the outcome because the lag and the time to react don't provide a window to change it; its already passed, its hysteresis, and its a bitch.

Good point. I'll allow that there is a distinction there to be made.

It's a bit slippery though. I think it was one of the Myst engineers that recently had 95% of a musical piece but was fumbling to come up with a satisfactory bridge. He leaned on AI and it knocked out the perfect bridge — one he was unsure why he hadn't thought of himself.

There might be gradations of AI assistance....

We need to acknowledge that well-funded science driven by robust mission-focused systems (like pharma companies) is often a different animal than the field of science generally. In the below comments, I'm speaking about the latter.

In my experience good science is much rarer than bad.

Also, politics and hidden hands (eg: third party funding sources) have been shaping science likely since science's inception. It's an open secret that quite often science is not scientific. And that if you are seeing a published paper like this, then critiques have willfully ignored that fact.

I'm sure that this subtly varies from field to field, but I think that one tends to accept and become numb to the dross. Because it is overwhelming. The approach becomes to quietly try to filter for and celebrate better science, and otherwise say nothing. Beyond being overwhelmed, this approach may be necessary for political survival in some fields.

It should not be surprising as to why someone would be suspicious in 2025, if someone is insulting anyone who got success from a drug by saying "my dad's dirt worked for him" and then complaining about declining quality on the forums.

Use throwaway identity, pay the price.

I'm glad your dad is healthy and yes, carbs cause issues.

This is specifically called out as a reason in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I was there just a few weeks ago. It's also available here:

It's also possible to be pro-tariff and recognize that Trump's policy is whatever keeps him at the center of attention, downstream consequences be damned.

A concept of a plan, a verbal agreement, even just a phone call is better than a binding trade agreement that lasts 20y. Because the former provides what matters most: distraction from the things that will put Trump in jail and a feeling of power and importance.

I've been reading the law, linked in the news site; and, the document says, among many other things, in 316.0776(3)(a),

(emphasis mine)

"the county or municipality MUST NOTIFY the public that a speed detection system may be in use BY POSTING SIGNAGE indicating photographic or video enforcement of the school zone speed limits. Such signage SHALL CLEARLY DESIGNATE THE TIME PERIOD DURING WHICH THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMITS ARE ENFORCED using a speed detection system"

So it looks like the flashing light is a backup and enhancer and that the more important field is the current time of day.

Under the assumption that the time range text is easily visible, not covered in trees, not tiny, able to be seen by a person driving at the regularly posted speed from a distance that they can safely and reasonably slow down, etc, then it doesn't seem terrible.

THAT SAID, they should absolutely *FIX* the blinking lights.

In part of the article, it is declared that the traffic cameras caught 500,000 violations this school year ("since fall") across Florida, which is ... concerningly high. That's several thousand per day. Across all Florida, but still. Only about 3000 people protested across that; and, assuming all protests were genuine, that's less than a 1% broken light rate, which means broken lights are probably pretty quickly fixed.

I hope the signage either already has prominent time ranges and/or will have prominent time ranges in the near future. My thoughts on this are certainly complicated.

Like a celebrity politician, installing a CEO who has achieved celebrity infamy or fame adds hype to whatever they touch, orthogonal to if they deserve celebrity or not. But also, how many other serious EV companies were there in 2006? Basically none. So said engineers and celebrity guy got to define a category for a while. But then he jumped the shark with a double "Roman" Nazi salute and customers fled to the myriad of other competitors that since developed and arguably surpassed (like BYD super fast charging, that one can't buy in America).

The use case is building apps.

A small LLM can do RAG, call functions, summarize, create structured data from messy text, etc... You know, all the things you'd do if you were making an actual app with an LLM.

Yeah, chat apps are pretty cheap and convenient for users who want to search the internet and write text or code. But APIs quickly get expensive when inputting a significant amount of tokens.

They retrofitted fences in the last decade or so. The only break in the fence is usually near the administration office / pickup / dropoff zone, which is generally next to the parking lot.

It doesn't actually prevent school shootings. There were 330 in the US last year; 349 in 2023. They're also adding cameras, weapons detection systems and "resources to address students’ emotional and mental well-being"

Kind of. They have times + "SCHOOL DAYS" - When are school days you may ask? Well, it's any day the school is in session (excluding holidays) and not every adult will know when school is in session or not.

Many will also have flashing lights on them. However, the flashing lights do not override the time nor "SCHOOL DAYS".

If the lights are flashing out-of-hours you can disregard the sign, but if the lights are NOT flashing and it IS the time+day then you need to respect the sign.

ie. The flashing lights are irrelevant, and are only to catch attention.

Years ago a friend was telling me about a service that paid 10 cents per hundred solved captchas or something pretty cheap sounding, it worked by having you screenshot the area of your desktop and sending it off to presumably a mechanical turk farm of humans who would report back the answer within some time frame. I'm sure they've only advanced as captchas have gotten more interactive and that bypassing one is still pretty cheap.

There's not much you can do if you become "targeted" but having your own even trivial custom captcha seems to reduce spam a lot. Years ago when I helped moderate a small forum, we added an extra input box for registration that went something like "What holds objects down on the earth, noodles or gravity?" and that entirely eliminated spambot registrations. And approximately no one reads my blog, so again no one's bothering to target explicitly, but I've not had a spam problem in ~15+ years with a combination of the <form>'s action lying about where the POST endpoint is (JS is required for the real one) and a captcha input box of "Please join these two "words" together (without spaces): uoguvwwp and urdugjgy" where the 8 letter 'words' are randomly generated.

As someone who saw miraculous cessation of lifelong immune issues on it, saw another friends dramatically improved allergy symptoms, another lifelong smoker finally quit, and other friends generally get in great shape, I actually do believe it’s uniquely good. If even half of the seeming benefits it seems to be showing in early stages right now turn out to be true, it is.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing if most world leaders regularly consulted a sufficiently intelligent and grounded model? I would love to see real research on this but I strongly suspect it would universally improve decision quality. If that’s right it’s reasonable to imagine we will enshrine AI into our executive, legislative, and judicial processes when their benefits (impartiality, objectivity, holism, etc.) become clear.

Et voila! A sui generis political actor is born.

So to clarify?

The app is supposed to help automate the legal request frameworks to assist the victims of libel/slander in removal?

The bucket was available for quite a long time after the news release, so the entire database is likely mirrored in a number of legitimate places for enforcement action, or civil action, and I'm sure also a number of illegitimate places.

What will sending an email to the company do to remove data from the already leaked datasets?

The headline feature isn’t the 25 MB footprint alone. It’s that KittenTTS is Apache-2.0. That combo means you can embed a fully offline voice in Pi Zero-class hardware or even battery-powered toys without worrying about GPUs, cloud calls, or restrictive licenses. In one stroke it turns voice everywhere from a hardware/licensing problem into a packaging problem. Quality tweaks can come later; unlocking that deployment tier is the real game-changer.

I had the same experience, except it wasn't my first year playing. It was my entire childhood and for years afterwards whenever I'd casually play someone (I still only play casually, just less casually now).

Only recently did I decide to learn the good and bad moves for my favourite openings. It can be much more fun that it sounds. Instead of only memorising, you can play with a chess engine and see, and hopefully internalise, why a move is bad or another move is better, e.g. stopping that pawn moving forwards any more is more important than getting a knight out.

And you can start with just a few openings - your favourite opening for white, and for black, just your favourite defence to each of the common openings.
Show HN: Open-source DIY NAS with GUI and aluminum enclosure
by mmajzoobi | 2025-08-06 04:00:45+00:00
I was inspired by two video I had recently watched to DIY a NAS system.

The first one was Jeff Geerling's video where he sets up a NAS with Radxa Penta SATA HAT & Raspberry Pi 5. The second one is from Micheal Klements in which he makes a nice enclosure for the same setup.

I wanted to push the design a bit further and give some extra capabilities.

My tentative plan is to:

- Add some NAS specific features to the GUI to monitor storage, navigate file system with the GUI,

- open image files & show them on the display, delete files,

- copy/move files around (e.g. from USB drive)

Hardware specific feature to include:

- Build an aluminum enclosure for this eventually,

- Add USB-PD power,

- Internal UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), which could potentially power another Pi with a USB Power out option, - Internal 3D printed structure to support the drive and battery pack from sudden movements

This is a work in progress and I have managed to work on the enclosure design and have made the design available here:

https://github.com/ubopod/ubo-mechanical/tree/main/nas-enclo...

The base tray design is also available below:

https://github.com/ubopod/ubo-mechanical/tree/main/bottom_co...

The PCBs are harder to DIY. You need to purchase the Penta SATA HAT and the sideboard. The sideboard is my own open source design and I have a small number available on my indie shop.

Check out the reddit post regarding the sideboard here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/1mcn3b8/conne...

I recorded a short video that includes some more details/specifics regarding this design that you can watch below:

This and Lindy Effect factors a lot into my choices for what to use for my projects. My choice for a project I want to be as maintenance-free as possible are special subsets of ASCII/txt, SQLite, Perl, Bash, PHP, HTML, JS, CSS. The subsets I choose are the parts of these languages which have persisted the longest.

Using the Lindy Effect for guidance, I've built a stack/framework that works across 20 years of different versions of these languages, which increases the chances of it continuing to work without breaking changes for another 20 years.

We have plenty of talent. And we don't care as much about money. I chose to move to a lower income country within the EU just because I like life there better. I would never move to the US. In fact I wouldn't even consider visiting, even if my work asks me to.

The reason tech isn't so big here is that there's more regulation and less loose capital. Both aren't bad things IMO. Venture capital is pure gambling in the US. We don't subscribe to the American unrestricted capitalism here (well except for the UK and Netherlands which are heavily influenced by America)
by rayiner | 2025-08-06 04:03:43+00:00
January 6 involved a multiracial band of wackjobs storming the capitol for reasons that had nothing to do with race or racism. Framing J6 as involving “multiracial white supremacy” is a great example of how NPR tries to make everything about white people being racist.

In this case, NPR’s ideological blinders caused them to miss the real story. Racism in the country is decreasing, leading to less racial polarization in politics. Trump gained minority vote share in each election, culminating with winning a record number of minorities in 2024 for a republican in the modern era. The GOP is becoming an increasingly multiracial coalition united by distrust of institutions and experts, conspiracy theories, and memes.

I'd argue that the vast majority of fraud - even high profile fraud - doesn't actually affect public perception of science. For example, the STAP cell paper and Jan Hendrik Schön's series of papers aren't really widely known outside of academia. And those papers were essentially attempts to lie all the way to a Nobel prize - as egregious as it gets.

In my opinion, the three research frauds of the past 30 years that have had the biggest impact outside of academia are:

1. Andrew Wakefield's autism paper

2. Elgazzar's paper on ivermectin as a treatment for COVID

3. Marc Tessier-Lavigne's Alzheimer's papers

The interesting thing about 1 and 2 is that yes, they reduced public confidence in science, but only because there are large blocks of people who remain convinced that the research wasn't actually fraudulent.
by mikepurvis | 2025-08-06 04:04:54+00:00
I mean, that has always been my intention with it— particularly in the context of something like a ticket or design doc where it's critical that other busy people be able to quickly get a high level overview and then scan for the bits that are most relevant or of interest to themselves.

It's just ironic that I've now been asked if I was using AI to write (or punch up) content that I've produced in this style when I most certainly was not.

Even bubba's pissin hot 3.5 magnum bird shot is probably not getting above 300 or 400 feet vertical for starters, and then you've either got to deal with hitting it dead on with a tight pattern wad or accepting that the shot is going spread enough to make it unlikely to hit it. So far as I have ever seen the energy in a shot shell wad dissipates much faster than a regular bullet, and I think you're better off trying to hit it with a regular old 556.
