>> Why is the OSI definition considered canonical?

'The introduction of the term "open source software" was a deliberate effort to make this field of endeavor more understandable to newcomers and to business, which was viewed as necessary to its spread to a broader community of users. The problem with the main earlier label, "free software," was not its political connotations, but that—to newcomers—its seeming focus on price is distracting. A term was needed that focuses on the key issue of source code and that does not immediately confuse those new to the concept. The first term that came along at the right time and fulfilled these requirements was rapidly adopted: open source.'

Source: https://opensource.com/article/18/2/coining-term-open-source...

This is from Christine Peterson's published account of how the term 'open source' came into popular usage.

The term 'open source' in popular usage as defined by the Open Source Definition (https://opensource.org/osd) has been in use for more than 25 years now.

Let FUTO keep their "source first" license and use it to forward their goals, but do not create confusion by trying to co-opt the well-known and broadly understood meaning of "open source".
I’m not doubting you - I just don’t think I’m looking in the right places. But where have you seen these home kits ?

I say this having just built cabinets, an 8x12 shed, and a few other things where the lumber alone… for example, the subfloor for a room I redid the flooring in was $400 alone. But I may be buying things the wrong way and I would love to find a better way!

I don't know about that. Isn’t the whole point of DEI to undo evolution that results in tribal organization, stereotyping, etc?
One thing is a robots.txt policy, meant mostly for search crawlers.

Another thing is the copyright of the content, terms of use policies, etc.

Abiding by a robots.txt policy doesn't make you immune to copyright, terms of service, law in various jurisdictions, etc. If you think that you are probably a kleptomaniac.

Just create a robots.txt with "User-Agent: one billion asterisks" so that the crawlers die when parsing it.

Agree with your statement.

It is accurate for me to say that the FUTO license is open-source according to the original definition of open-source as coined by the author of the term, which focused on the freedom to view, modify, and distribute the software's source code, but made no mention of the ability to commercialize without compensation.

If you say “FUTO is not an OSI approved open-source license since it does not conform to their Open Source Definition” - you are also 100% correct.

When one implies that the FUTO license is not open source, without further clarification, such as adding “according to OSI” then the accuracy of the statement is less clear.
It is not. There is no shared IDE code.
That "separate category" isn't a explicit opt in. It's its two different mechanisms for indexing and copyright.

Index is your out. You can use our content is opt in.

Reproduction and recreation, especially when taken physically outside of the Internet or into products for sale has always been a against the rules. As mentioned by another post, torrents of music and movies solidified this stance legally.

Unindexed connect can be open source no strings attached.
It's true that networking often plays a significant role in finding a new job. If you find it hard to build new relationships, that's OK, because that skill can be learned.

Most introverts I know don't enjoy being around people all the time, but still build and maintain meaningful relationships with a small number of people close to them.

If you do want to be better at this, but you're finding it difficult, have you considered therapy? A good therapist can help you feel more confident in building relationships, so you don't feel as drained by them, and give you a safe space to learn and practice those skills.

Respectfully, plenty of data below disproving what you say.

> there is plenty of unused housing inventory

False: https://www.reddit.com/r/badeconomics/comments/musne8/dispro...

What do you say about cities losing literally hundreds of millions on housing funds?

https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/04/13/audit-san-jose-failed...

> the problem is that people can no longer afford rents

And that is because supply is low. Go to the root cause of that:

https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/08/san-francisco-new-housing-...

> San Francisco approved just 7 new homes in 2 months. Why?

https://scott-wiener.medium.com/yes-supply-demand-apply-to-h...

Supply/demand is proven science in housing.

> it's all bad if it comes from "the government."

The other side of the coin is:

It's all good if it comes from "the government."!

The mention of Jamie Zawinski[1] caught my eye; quoted in the article as owner of DNA Lounge in SF, he is probably known for many other things by HN dwellers: namer of Mozilla, one of Netscape's initial employees, Lisp hacker during the 80s/90s, and featured in Peter Seibel's book, Coders at Work (which is why the name stood out for me).

Fellow introvert here. I don't have as many years in industry under my belt as you, but I have been through several job transitions and am enjoying the job I'm at right now.

Every single one of my jobs came not from networking, but just cold applying to positions. If networking feels inauthentic to you, I would say just to forget about it and work at getting good at your craft. If you can demonstrate you have the skills and a company has a need for that skillset, they will hire and networking skills will be irrelevant.

Also, if you're not having much success at applying for a type of position, it may be that the timing is just not right, e.g. a company has a superabundance of web developers, but what they are really in need of is embedded software developers. In a lot of cases, it's not about you, but about what the company's needs are.

At one point in time, I applied to a company and failed to get in, but later on, I tried again, got the position, and it was a great opportunity. Was I that much better? Not really, just a timing thing.

So don't give up and keep moving forward with practicing your skills and applying. The more you prepare and try, the better the odds of success.

That doesn't apply here. By the broad definition of "syntax" that Rice's theorem takes, the things you want to verify on the bytecode are syntax.

> nobody gets familiar with Emacs without inadvertently becoming a practitioner - if not an enthusiast - of Lisp

So you might think, until you meet a fervent Emacs advocate that doesn't know anything about "the underlying Lisp stuff".
At this stage you have an idea, not a company. You could pay market salary to a developer or agency, then you'd still own 100%.

Seems like 'blurred audio' would be better? ('blurred' such that you can't hear a conversation even if it's quiet and the speaker's close to the microphone) plus a couple of photos of the sort that probably exist on any website or Google Maps entry anyway to show 'typical' and give an idea of the aesthetic/vibe.

Public CCTV does just seem weird, I'm not sure what you could do to it to fix it that would keep it useful. Maybe pretty extreme blurring, but think they'd have to be really established to the point that everyone expects it everywhere, and knows & trusts how extreme the blurring is. Otherwise when you first hear of it you'll be on edge until you've seen it yourself however much it takes to trust how blurred it is...

Obviously any vulnerability is bad, but I'm trying to understand just how bad this one is. What "scary" things could an attacker do?

It doesn't sound like they could listen in on a phone call you're having without your knowledge, or even an audio stream, since it breaks the original connection, right? So is the worst they could do is come within a pretty short distance of you, scan for your mac address, and the auto-connect and play some noise into your ears? Or is there more?

I suppose you could do something like take over the airpods of a high-level celebrity or politician while they're on a video call, that could be bad (but caught instantly). Anything worse?
Hello, author of txtai here. txtai was created back in 2020 starting with semantic search of medical literature. It has since grown into a framework for vector search, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and large language model (LLM) orchestration.

The goal of txtai is to be simple and easy-to-use. Semantic Graphs were added in 2022 before the Generative AI wave of 2023/2024. Knowledge Graphs are now a hot topic, so this component is even more relevant today. txtai also has a robust RAG and workflow framework.

I often see others complain about AI/LLM/RAG frameworks, so I wanted to share this project as many don't know it exists.

txtai is Apache 2.0 licensed and all code is available at https://github.com/neuml/txtai
I've known about Overleaf for almost as long as I've used LaTeX and until about two years ago, I didn't really understand the point of it; it's not like LaTeX is hard to install or anything, what's the advantage of a web service?

It wasn't until I started doing my PhD work where I realized the Overleaf is useful, because the collaborative tools are extremely handy. LaTeX is very popular in the academic world, and Overleaf allows me to easily work on papers with my advisors (who live in a different continent). It's been great.

I do wish they'd add Pandoc support; LaTeX is cool but I find Markdown considerably more pleasant about 95% of the time, so it'd be great if they could let us use that, though I realize this is probably easier said than done.

Legally you cannot actually do the first thing without permission. The fact that it was technologically impossible to stop, and the damages would be impossible to prove, didn't make it a legal right.
Not just people but wildlife and plenty of them. Since the American Cheetah went extinct ~10,000 years ago, Pronghorns ("American Antelope") have probably not known a worse enemy than barbed wire across the American West which is rarely laid out in such way that allow Pronghorns to duck under safely.

To better put it, I'll just quote from The Monkey Wrench Gang by Eddward Abbey:
“Who invented barbed wire anyhow?” Hayduke asked. “It was a man named J. F. Glidden done it; took out his patent back in 1874.” An immediate success, that barbwire. Now the antelope die by the thousands, the bighorn sheep perish by the hundreds every winter from Alberta down to Arizona, because fencing cuts off their escape from blizzard and drought. And coyotes too, and golden eagles, and peasant soldiers on the coils of concertina wire, victims of the same fat evil the wide world over, hang dead on the barbed and tetanous steel"
You can totally study it and learn from a bunch of content on the web and then create a new work having looked at other works before. My writing is influenced by lots of copyrighted work I’ve read already, there is no mental blockade going on when I write something. The only question is what does it mean when a machine does that instead?

The old content can’t be reproduced by an LLM unless the content is provided as part of its prompt. At least, that’s what the AI companies claim and will have to show in court.

This is a very interesting text (116 pages) which originally was published as a chapter of the book "LISP - Anwendungsgebiete, Grundbegriffe, Geschichte" (1980, Akademie-Verlag Berlin) by Prof. Herbert Stoyan, Dresden University (when he wrote the book). The text was translated to English and nicely formatted in 2023 by Paul McJones for the CHM Software Preservation Group. I came across it by chance recently and enjoyed reading the text. It's well worth a look.
Well, if the privatized version doesn't allow other people to take my money away from me at the point of a gun and give it to other people, using the state's proverbial "monopoly on violence" it doesnt seem like a very fair comparison. Apples and oranges. Maybe that was your implicit point?
Simple math and economics take is its old people caretaking the regulations and the nimbyism to insulate their own lives

Your take is still filled with euphemism for such things
createElement is immediate. The component function call is not. It may never be called. Try const a = <App />;

App() will never be called.
This is nothing but performative clickbait by the Verge.

It is classified as fair use, the term is transformative use, where those using it are training models (their intention) if anyone wishes to Google it.

The end.

So many (snooty) people treat audiobooks like a cheap substitute for reading, when in reality, reading is the cheap substitute for oral storytelling. Sure, you've got Infinite Jest where page structure and end notes are part of the aesthetic design, but I think more people would consume more literature if audiobooks were more normalized.
> The interesting takeaway I got was how badly the Lua developers failed on their bytecode veryfier.

What verifier? The one they removed?

Or are you talking about the one the Factorio developers made, where flaws are a lot less surprising considering they have a lot less expertise with the internal machinery of Lua.
From the beginning, it's seemed completely intuitive to me that training a computer made of sand on publicly available content and then generating art later should be fair use, so long as it's fair use to train the meat computer in your head on the same content and then use it to generate art later. There's no meaningful difference to me as far as the ethics of the act are concerned.
Even if they’re plateauing there’s still a lot of value to be had in what they already do. I think the mistake so far has been aiming too high or too low—ie, products that require AGI-like LLMs or unimaginative “low-hanging fruit” product ideas which are obvious from the function of an LLM. The former have been wishful thinking, and the latter have no moat. The Goldilocks area is in understanding what current LLMs can do in a way that you can either do something complicated that we couldn’t do reliably without LLMs or do something simple that wasn’t worth doing without LLMs. And in both cases the products need to be built in a way that naturally incorporates the expected failure modes of the tech. (For example, I don’t need it to write all my code; there’s a lot of value in just using ChatGPT to help me write one-off bash scripts.)
Realistically the worst thing is just being annoying. If it was left unpatched, someone would make an airpod jammer app for the flipper zero and cause annoyance in public places killing the audio on everyones airpods.
When you started with "il sound elitist" I was getting ready to get angry. But as I read the rest of it - I wasnt sure what the elitist part of it is. I actually thought I was the elitist one when I shunned impressing others for a career (and oh boy has that cost me!) only to wonder after decades in a career where the F it all went by with nothing to show for. Really good advice btw. If you want a career sometimes you need to put your ego aside.

Yes yes a career can mean different things for different folks. (specifically) in this context il take it to mean working in a stable job that pays enough and consistently to help you take care of things/people you care about comfortably.
I am optimistic but I feel sad when I remember when went through all this with sampling 30 years ago and now the music industry is more insular and controls every scrap of music they can find so no one can sample anything and even if your song has similar "vibes" to another, well, now it belongs to them as well.

I'd wager that 90% of the people cheering on the RIAA (and copyright in general) now were singing a much different tune before they decided AI was a threat to their livelihoods. There's a lot of reasons to not be optimistic about the continued legal existence of freely available open source AI, because if the copyright holders have their way, they will be the only entities that control all the data needed to train it. And many people on the internet are all too happy to cheer this on without realizing that once the RIAA, MPAA, and publishers (when they finally figure out how to organize effectively like film and music has) hold the reigns, the AI will still exist, and it will still take all the same jobs, but all the open source and freely available AI that everyone could use, that could level the playing field for everyone... that's going to be illegal for people to use, without being able to pay the content rights holders. Just another way to keep it to have / have nots, same as it's always been.

Really, now? Who was that? Where can we read this supposed original definition?
>OSI didn’t invent the term. It was invented by Christine Peterson in 1998.

It was suggested by Peterson in a conversation with the founders of OSI. The conversation went something like this: "Hey, Christine Peterson, the FSF is doing a bad job explaining free software to business owners and executives, and we think we can do better. Right now we're trying to come up with a replacement for the name 'free software'". The only reason anyone ever started using the phrase "open source" in the context of software licensing is because of the activism of OSI.
I went back to check my email and it turns out that I received several Haskell enquiries from the same recruiter over a period of a few years. He only ever described the employer as a “Global Blockchain Fin-Tech Firm” without being more specific. It seemed pretty fishy to me.
Part of the problem here is that the web has gone through lots of change as to what it is and how people understand it.

Some people think of it as billboards posted on the highway. Some think it’s a bulletin board. Some think it’s a newspaper. A television, a “zine”, a diary, graffiti. It has been all of these things, and is and isn’t. And people who publish are really bad at explicitly stating which one they are. But they expect you to know.

A lot of people wear airpods around even if they're not actively using them, right? So if that's the case, you could use the microphone to eavesdrop on an in-person conversation. Although since it has to be within Bluetooth range, might be easier to just eavesdrop normally.
All the people I talked with told me not to outsource the business from the beginning. And i don't have the resources to found a company and hire people. Actually im new here so i couldn't explain myself well. The thing is my mind is can learn JavaScript just enough to develop a MVP in one month?
Note that FUTO is not really doing that.
The point is that you cannot claim damages to something that you give away for free. What did they take from you, notoriety? Content? Traffic?

When the Author's Guild pressed Google for their indexing of plaintext copywritten books, they lost in court. Transforming freely-available content can't be gatekept because the intent isn't strictly what the author imagined. There is a degree of fair use that exists when you make anything public. Music, art, text, videos, all of it can be consumed in novel and unexpected ways.
