I find it confusing to release weights under a source code license too as Apache 2.0 that is used for plenty of open models spends a lot of time talking about code, which should be unrelated to weights (I am not a lawyer though). But perhaps one should look at weights as "firmware" necessary to run a model? I am not sure.

Although I am getting tired to keep mentioning it at this point, LLaMa is not open by any reasonable definition though. It is available. But as a sibling points out, it is rude of Facebook to call it something it blatantly is not, even if it is more open than say Clos^WOpenAI's offerings. In addition, it is very rude towards the people behind Mistral, GPT-J, etc. who do honour the tradition of open science and open source to place your work both in your papers and marketing next to them. There is a great word to describe what Facebook is doing: appropriation.

Neither is releasing LLaMa the way that Facebook does honouring their "commitment to open science" as its license also violates the principles of open science. This was objectively false when they stated it six or so months ago and even after OSI and many others calling them out they still have not adjusted their messaging and I am frankly considering them bad faith actors at this point.

The best argument in favour of Facebook doing what they are doing is that their model is more open than the closed ones. Which is fair (pun not intended). But, calling your dog a cat because it is more akin to a cat than a fish is still misleading and rightfully surprises and upsets cat lovers, even if dogs are fine pets in their own right.
For a while? Wasn't GNU Hurd supposed to be the kernel? Just vague memories, didn't read up on it right now. Still not even close to ready.

Linux is not a GNU project. But it's free software, so I suppose RMS could use it without major pain. Although he'd probably prefer Linux to use GPLv3.
> I live in that village [Galisteo], and hear the (Southwest) Chief's whistle/horn in both directions.

I hop on at Lamy, either to Raton or LAX, depending on the trip. If only there were still a stop in Folsom, I'd walk to family place up there...

Lamy is an interesting place to wait on the train; George R2 Martin (Game of Thrones author) sponsors a special excursion train that comes up there from Santa Fe. They do fun bits, wine tasting tours, mystery role-playing dinners, art shows. The train is painted like a huge dragon.

A strange juxtaposition with authentic tumbleweeds and abandoned adobe remnants of a whistle stop village that's faded away.

Lots to keep you entertained for the extra three hours it will take for the Amtrak train to actually arrive. They do crew change, cleaning, restocking food, and often address any operational issues with the trains at the Albuquerque station. Seems to be one of the few places where that's done, because Northbound quite often hours behind schedule at Lamy.

It's my favorite way to travel anyway.

Never heard of that, and when I do I will gleefully mock whoever is using it.

No.

The press aligns with the lived experiences of literally any person who shops at those stores with any regularity.

To think that Target stores in the heart of SF and Seattle couldn't have enough business to be profitable outside of theft is what is "deluded". The primary cause of these particular stores being unprofitable is clearly theft and crime.

Whether you realize it or not, you are simply not making a serious argument. You have no evidence for your claims. You are pushing an agenda.
And how are those web technologies going for the bloat of Electron? There is no free lunch.

Flutter binaries and runtime are orders of magnitude smaller and faster than web technologies. True, they shouldn't be chasing native, but it's still better than what we have currently with trying to cover 6 OS with web technologies.
So, an interface that keeps changing randomly? That sounds like hell, no thanks.

You can run your own DNS server locally. I run an unbound server on my router but you can also run dnsmasq on a raspberry pi or something. Pihole uses that. Then you can do whatever you want with local DNS (doesn't help with devices like Chromecast that ignore your local configs, for that you need your own router, which I also recommend. I use pfsense).

You'll need a local webserver running to serve the redirect, but that's a simple nginx config. Maybe I'll write a blog post for this stuff...
It's not the free speech rights of the truckers that was the issue in Canada.

The problem came with the freedom of assembly, which is bound up with the right to protest ... and long curtailed with restrictions from causing substantial disruption.

That last part was the line crossed when roads were shutdown for days on end, horns blared round the clock, etc.

Additionally, IIRC, the Canadian Gov't didn't debank individuals for the act of donating .. they froze accounts that donations were flowing into. The last time this came up in a forum several people linked to discussions in the Canadian Question time (or some equivilant) where "gotcha" questions were being posed about whether the law in question could be used to debank individuals .. as it was broad legislation targeted toward shutting down the protests by drying up funds the answer "yes, but ..." .. followed by a general failure to produce any non core individuals that had their general savings frozen - just the accounts used to collect donations and some(?) organisers taking part (again, IIRC).

"Rude" is a strangely chosen word here. Rude towards whom? I could maybe accept "misleading", but as a person who don't believe OSI has an ownership of the term "open source", I don't think it's misleading either.
As well as collapse I think there's a case to be made for hedging against loss of access to the normal financial system.

E.g. maybe one day the CIA will believe very strongly that you are a terrorist. In that situation a kilo of gold might be extremely useful!

Actually this is probably an even stronger case - gold will lose almost as much value as money in the case of economic collapse. Whereas wanted terrorists can probably still get a fairly decent price.
I don’t see how to interpret your comment in a way that doesn’t say “their goal should be encouraging people to be principled, not being being principled themselves.”
There’s a conundrum though: the inescapable fact is that outside of a couple proprietary/closed networks such as YouTube, there is virtually no audience to speak to. So you can either stick to your principles and reach no one, or you can compromise and expose many more people to your discourse.

Sure, some of this situation is on us, not on the FSF. But I’m discussing what the FSF can do here. And I’m afraid they don’t have much choice.
except prepping mostly isn't "I got mine, screw you" but "I need to protect myself and my family". even then, US society isn't even "I got mine, screw you". I don't understand where that even came from because its not even close to true. maybe europeans thinking they're somehow more collectivist even though I've found Americans to be far more friendly and collectivist than europeans.

I actually attribute success of free software & linux to RMS. IMO he deserves a lot more credit than he gets for his work on gcc/egcs. it is foundational that we have access to a compiler that can produce user created executable otherwise entire software industry would look very different. the likes of MS & Apple would have us wrapped up in licencing agreements & TOSes to stifle innovation at a basic choke-point. if anyone has any doubts you only need to look at the ecosystem for opensource h/w design.

Imho the project should emphasize more the potential for simple and uniquitous multi-core acceleration of vector compute that is available by definition to anybody having any modern cpu.

Potentially, but altitude and speed data on ADS-B are constrained to just 11 bits (+ 1 bit dedicated to the resolution: 25 vs 100-feet increments).

So while I believe the data source is the same, one can see quantization artifacts when comparing both signals.

The US is incapable of regulating them and foists that responsibility onto the rest of the world.
Same with Microsoft and Apple dominating the computer OS market.
I recently did a Free Software Day event and old timers from FSF showed up.

It was great, but the ecosystem is quickly deteriorating and younger people are born in walled gardens.

The EU is destroying open source in Europe thanks to CRA in the name of security.

AI models mostly have crappy licenses that restrict usage. The worst culprit is HuggingFace with Stable Diffusion and OpenRail which is anything but open.
It's a "don't be evil license", where evil is defined by HuggingFace but it opens the door to BS like "you're emitting too much CO2, you can't use this".

I'm sure most people at Huggingface are not doing it maliciously, they probably are all 20-something socialists making half a mill a year and they don't care about freedom.

At the same time they're also releasing a bunch of real OSS software under Apache 2.0 (often to go with OpenRail licensed models).

So yeah, we're screwed.

At the same time, I think governments are removing even more freedom that what's happening in software, so I'm kind of busy country hopping and more concerned about not becoming even more of a slave I am right now.
> Rough play can be fun, and it's a legitimate kink for both parties.

true, but the point is (supposedly) that the actresses are coerced into and harmed by it.

this is clearly not unrealistic, but the proportion of the problem remains elusive as you'd have to ask a lot of them very detailed and thought out questions to get any significant result.
> You are seriously asking why the Free Software Foundation isn't using a propietary social platform?

Yes?

This is sort of the opposite of the "yet you participate in society, interesting" comic.

You can non-hypocritically call for people to move away from something you also use. It's especially important when it comes to communication because how on earth are you supposed to tell people to change behaviour if they never hear you? Running an ad on fox news calling for people to listen to say NPR instead isn't hypocritical.

An absolutist approach diminishes itself, as it's saying "hey don't use twitter, then just like us you'll have no reach".
Grepping my dpkg list for packages which start with \s0. is fun.

telnet is 0.17, and its origins date back to 1969!
> And gcc and grub and potentially some other 10 libraries that everybody is still using!

Stallman almost screwed up gcc, I think multiple times. GRUB at this point can be safely declared obsolete in the age of EFI.

But yes, GCC is very nice.

If only to direct people to content hosted elsewhere, but yes.

A thousand times this.

There's two kinds of people:

2: Makes their own parts, has been bitten by the library parts being wrong (wrong pinout, footprint size etc)

Nobody is preventing you to post to multiple platform .., and you might have way more engagement in smaller platform.

I wonder whether playful teasing could play a similar defensive role to what dares can be argued to play[0]: provoking certain detectable socially healthy reactions, and using absence of such reactions as a negative signal (psychopathy in case of dares, perhaps something like narcissism in case of teasing).

From my experience:

1. You want to build UI to be config driven. At some point, adding a new chart in code will not scale. Writing good config is hard and require a lot of careful thinking.

2. Product owners want special snowflake, try to push back on any customization as it increase complexity and make config harder. It is better to implement usable search, navigation, sitemap or focus on developer experience (CI/CD, feature flags etc.)

3. GraphQL is overrated, for complex charts with filters and multiple options it makes caching hard to use in practice. I would like to try tRPC next time or similar rpc based approach.

4. Performance impact of large bundles in minimal in practice. You can be shipping 20MB of JS to users, but inefficient re-renders/re-fetches will have way more impact that amount of code. For charting, I would try ECharts or any commercial WebGL based charting library. For tables, I would try something that mimic excel as closely as possible.

5. Centralize state of application via redux/signals/jotai. You want to have clear separation between config and state of components. You want to build this as early as possible. I guarantee that product would want to have URL sharing and adding this later is very difficult.

6. Designers love whitespace, You should fight for information density as much as possible. Design system sounds like a great idea, but it cost millions in practice.
> Good for you, but most people can't tell nor do they care

Yeah, Apple diehard fans like to repeat how consistent the experience is on MacOS, how incredible it feels compared to any other platform. But in practice very few people care: Windows has zero consistency anywhere (even in the OS settings themselves) and nobody cares, and even on MacOS nowadays, most people are using electrons apps daily, which breaks the conventions so even MacOS isn't homogeneous either in practice anymore (and Electrons app get a lot of flak on all platforms, but it's mostly about RAM usage and overall mediocre performance, and even then it's mostly nerds like us who complain).
It is. But how do you know that if your are not familiar with the topic already? It will give complete nonsense answers that look equally elegant.

Naive question (I don't work with LLMs). Is there any research/figures/measures about how many of the answers can be considered factually correct?

> The FSF is clearly not reaching the people it needs to reach. Where's their Youtube channel, or their Twitter? As far as I know, they have neither.

Sadly they seemed to have tied themselves in all kinds of self imposed knots when it comes to spreading their reach via social networking sites.

You can't change today's world if you're not a bit pragmatic. FSF may make some correct objections but if you're not properly present on some of these platforms your reach will remain limited.

To effect change you need to be part of the world of today -- warts and all. Only then you can you change it. Rejecting the world by putting your head into the ground is a strategy that will often fail. Only when you become extremely big and influential can you help determine the rules of the game.
It's my understanding that, at least in Python, you can't change immutable data type but you can just assign a new data to the same variable and therefore overwrite it, right? So even if JAX makes list type immutable, you can still just re-use `x` to save the new modified list.

To be honest my job changed during the pandemic so I have not made the trip in several years. Before making my post I went on the Amtrak website and priced out a trip in mid October. It was about $225 each way before tax etc. If you were willing to get on the 6am train it was a few bucks cheaper. I'm happy to concede that you could get better deals booking further out etc, I didn't spend time checking.

Hell, I'd love to be wrong. Because again, I enjoy traveling by rail. If I somehow accidentally priced the literal worst case, that's good to know.
They use text for communication, too.
> But it’s not better (morally) than closed source.

That's a highly subjective opinion, and yours is not more valid than others'
That's exactly what I think about RMS, FSF and GNU.

I'm mostly working with younger people (like 20-30 years old) and well, they don't really know what GNU or the FSF is.

As a Linux user I'm using GNU software all day but for most people it's just "linux command line tools". It's fine and if they do the job, well done!
But this doesn't help the FSF or the GNU project.

A lot of these tools have pretty good documentation but when you visit one of the GNU websites you feel like it's 1995 again. It's more like man pages in HTML. Actually same for Apache Software Foundation.

And this is not getting better...

A start would be a modern representation of the tools and the ideas behind free software, maybe with a bit less philosophy. GNU needs to get a bit "cooler".
Am I the only one who doesn't get the fuss about this and has no interest in it?
“I gave ChatGPT a screenshot of a SaaS dashboard and it wrote the code for it”
It's not a bad question to ask; the FSF has proven in the past to be rather uninterested and unhelpful in helping developers of medical software get their stuff licensed in a way that's either compliant or as close to as[0] being compliant as possible[1]. Instead they opted to chide those wanting help for not being true believers of the cause and told them they'll never compromise. Basically the usual "FSF is only ever willing to do FOSS in it's own Ivory Tower even though its mission is to spread it beyond an Ivory Tower."

That said - RMS has iirc said in the past that for medical emergencies he's willing to make a personal exception on this stance.

[0]: Medical devices can't be GPL compliant due to the anti-Tivo clause combined with regulations of the FDA that demand that a medical device will always behave the exact same way in the exact same situation. This is also extended to the software, meaning that not being allowed to reflash the software if you're not the manufacturer is a requirement.

> His accomplishments are way overblown

Say what you will about his personality, you don't have to like him but saying that his accomplishments are way overblown is a terrible take. His work flows through every part of the GNU land and it's used by almost every tech person on the planet to some extent.
Another way to look at it is Tesla sells an over the air discount in exchange for a slower car.

Is it really that unreasonable a question to ask?

The purity inherent in insisting on using only free software is laudable, but evangelizing is only effective when there's reach. (It's also much more compelling when it demonstrably makes folks' lives materially better, but reasonable people will disagree on the particulars there.)

> This isn't even like, say, J.K. Rowling giving a speech about writing and being brigaded for transphobic remarks.

Her remarks were in support of the rights of women to have female-only spaces, and against the linguistic erasure of women.

If that is considered "transphobic" then it just goes to show the misogyny inherent in the trans advocacy movement.
If you see the wrongess of colonisation as primarily stemming from a violation of imagined "ancestral ownership rights" then yes perhaps it's different.
