> This makes it clear that they intent to ship under some alternative license, for a fee.

It makes it clear they intend to ship under the AGPLv3. What's wrong with that? They can change the license at a later date? Just fork!

> I wouldn’t consider any of this open source any more.

This is bananas; the AGPLv3 is extremely open source. And again, nothing prevents contributors from forking the code if Element closes it.

> What they are doing is a required step to pull the same stunt as terraform.

Didn't this result in the creation of OpenTofu? I haven't kept up and don't really have an opinion, but a cursory examination shows that their GitHub project has a gazillion stars [0].

> These folks are very unambiguously screwing over the community and making it sound otherwise.

They've contributed an enormous amount of work to try and move the state of the art in messaging forward in a way that respects users (being extremely open, implementing end-to-end encryption, embracing decentralization, etc). Your characterizations of them are super uncharitable. They owe you precisely nothing.

In this case, Wikipedia's credibility is enhanced by the fact that it demands very high quality references for medical articles, and the resulting portrayal of homeopathy is a mere side effect of that. The very fact that homeopathy is a non-mainstream practice means that it's hard to find reliable references that will describe it positively.

Moving golf simulation into the cloud [0].

Golf is one of the only sports that can be realistically simulated indoors.

Golf is also one of the only sports where even severe lag has no effect on the accuracy of the play - just the viewing experience. Unlike FPS games in the cloud which become unplayable with even modest lag.

The golf simulation technology landscape today is pre-cloud. People running their own gaming computers with complex lash ups of open source software to connect their launch monitors. All pretty prohibitive to the stereotypical older tech-averse golf player.

The git history of a project is the main source of knowledge on that project, once the people that wrote it are gone. The git history answers questions such as "wtf is that supposed to do?", "what's this code connected to?", and "why did they do it that way?". You can use other kinds of documentation, but the git history is always there, so it makes sense to make it semi-useful.
Yes, I’ve long advocated for a high level smart contracting language that would be similar to prolog in structure and semantics. It would compile down to a state machine, and then the state machine would be interpreted as a series of outputs (nodes on the state machine graph) and spending transactions (edges).

The actual spend condition language would be lower level, however, and Forth-like languages are a good fit for this part of the stack.

Different doctors and systems do different things. (Which is a problem like you pointed out). Having been at one of the largest in ”the” country, I can say the only time anyone would get this added is if they are in some kind of intensive substance abuse program or, yet much less likely, if they are on other controlled substances (think opioids) or if the doctor really hates MJ or if the patient goes into the ER frequently for side effects like cyclical vomiting. Just my minor observation but your points ring true to my ears.

I re-read your question and it occurs to me that by "smokers", you may actually mean "marijuana smokers".

The study doesn't break that down. Which is a shame. There are people who do not smoke or vape marijuana, who instead ingest it (my 85 year old neighbor being one of those people). Do those people fare better than those that smoke or vape it?

Asked more simply: is it the smoking and vaping that increases people's risk of heart problems, or is it the marijuana itself?

This gets suggested in every single conversation about LLMs, but I've never seen a working demo of chained-LLM safety measures that has managed to stand up to public access.

I feel fairly confident at this point that chained LLMs aren't a solution to prompt injection.

And with the number of open and free models available, we're at a point now where people claiming that there's an easy fix for prompt injection need to prove it. If it's this easy to fix, then build a working demo that can't be beaten by public attackers.

No, its credibility is damaged by the presence of an echo chamber that can impose its viewpoint unchallenged.

An article that "objectively" lays out the claims and though processes of homeopathy and then simply states that there is zero supporting evidence and no experimental setup has ever been able to establish any effect above placebo, gives much more credibility to Wikipedia because it suggests to the reader that the wording has been challenged by proponents of homeopathy, but the factual statements about the lack of evidence could not be removed on objective grounds.
You are exactly correct, and the purism represented by these Kafkaesque Wikipedians who "drive out fringe editors" will ultimately fail.
Also important to note that the process of stellar collapse and then black hole accretion takes absolutely enormous amounts of time to collate a large amount of mass together. It's also an extremely energetic process, you would expect to see very bright black holes if millions of solar masses of matter were infalling creating very large and bright accretion disks. We do see some active galactic nuclei but not that many. There's just no way there was enough time for this to happen in the early universe, or really even after a measly 14 billion years (i.e. seeing these young supermassive black holes is challenging for the stellar collapse theory, but the theory was already pretty challenged).

Not to mention if supermassive black holes were being formed by accretion, you would expect to see many intermediate mass black holes (1000-1000000 solar masses) everywhere, but we see almost none.

>(presumably, Finland is considered an ally to the US)

Finland only joined NATO in 2023; before then it was explicitly neutral. During the Cold War, East and West discreetly (and sometimes not so discreetly) fought for Finland's allegiance but, generally speaking, the Soviet Union had great influence over its foreign policy (cf. finlanization) while the West had great influence over its culture and economy.

Been away from Berlin for 7 months or so and I'm really saddened and surprised to hear that about KitKat. It's a complex line to navigate in there always but that's part of the beauty of it - I've had plenty of uncomfortable or challenging experiences in there but always felt fundamentally safe, and know many of my friends, especially women, find it a safe (but sometimes challenging) space. It really does depend on the whole culture participating in holding the line, and it sounds like it's faltering recently.

My experience of KitKat is that unwanted attention of any kind (which depending on the night might not be super rare) is quickly shut down by the people in the immediate area before the staff even get close, and then the staff respond very quickly to it, especially if someone who is a regular calls attention.

> If even just 1 out of 10 homeopathy topics/issues/articles/etc. turn out to be mostly true, then labelling it all as 'pseudoscientific' would seem pretty silly in hindsight

That "if" is doing a lot of work there. Never has any effect of homeopathy been shown in double blind studies, and the proposed mechanism of classical honeopathy is absurd in all its parts.

There's not a universe where modern physics and chemistry can coexist with homeopathy.

> Also, how much cash is "rolling in cash" by your estimation? Sounds like you think they have too much?

When an organization's primary form of fundraising is pointing at their one useful product and saying "give us money so that we can keep doing this! If we don't have enough money this might go away!" that's fine and moral so long as it's what's required for primarily funding the useful thing in question.

When the above method accounts for 90% of funds raised, but the useful thing people thought they were supporting only accounts for 10% of expenditures, then that means 1) the organization has more money than they need for "useful thing", and 2) it means that people will feel misled and get upset when they find out about this, because they thought they were donating money to "useful thing" but their money actually went to "side project".

Wikipedia's fundraising messaging is blatantly manipulative and misleading compared to the reality of financial risk to the continued existence of the content on wikipedia.org.

I'm not sure the maximum value matters, since I think it only actually gives you 33 decimal digits precision and the 1500th number has over 300 digits.

Although it looks like you'd need to be more careful with it too:
