Automotive is one of the many field heavily dependent on software and unable to create anything good in that. That's a good example of why we damn need to change the IT landscape for a future society...

FLOSS MUST BE BY LAW, we can't accept a modern society of black boxes and this allow for collaborative development witch anyone own it's own while all other can cherry pick creating a fast enough, stable enough, safe enough stream of innovation.

Another part is electronic witch we are still champion but many industries who need electronics are TERRIBLE at it. Again open hw is mandatory to create evolvable architecture for any field.

We can't accept things like a car briked because parked in at a certain steepness and for some reasons a crapware update fails under that condition, overnight, without any human owner control. Similarly we can't accept safety features like ADAS being tied to car infotainment just because the automaker bought some ancient SoC and tablets for that purpose not knowing what to do otherwise. FLOSS prove to be a technical success, a business failure. It's time to make it the norm so business can compete in hw not in selling services.

Of course it's terribly hard but if back then at Xerox this happen it can happen again, recreating some relevant conditions like public fund for public FLOSS projects, created to serve the people not some private parties and used by any private party for commerce. This allow for a balance between the private sector needs and the public allow freedom of innovation and reducing certain level of crap for all.
Very accurate. We now have this magic technology that can duplicate books we had no problem lending for free when we were physically constrained. Now that we’ve advanced, we still use archaic constructs to artificially limit information.

It’s a sad state.
Debian testing is a rolling release like the Pacman shape is a wheel. Every once in a while, it stops rolling and just drags along the surface for a while. And when it starts rolling again, it's very bumpy.

Hopelessly ignorant of DNS beyond basics. I see this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_recursive_name_server and there is a list of DNS servers. What do you mean by running it on your own computer? If feeling generous, maybe a quick rundown on how to get authoritative name resolution from TLDs? OS setting or need to run something (OS X)? TIA )
I'm always slightly sad when software developers are confident that software can't possibly make them more productive.
Both links work for me in the UK. Not sure why the OP didn't choose one of them as the headline link though.

EDIT: The medicalXpress one is a summary of the nature article (and links to it), that's more readable to lay people. Honestly, I didn't understand anything in the Nature article, but just about got the gist of the summary article.
The internet archive could do with one of these new AI companies funding it, since their entire business is built on there being information out there somewhere.

Though more likely they each individually download the entire internet archive and then seek to burn it to the ground to stop others following, in short sighted chase the current quarterly return fashion.
That's great, I'll have a look, thank you!
> My guess is that if gerrymandering were completely outlawed, Democrats would easily maintain control of the House, with a healthy margin, more or less permanently.

You do know that, in the seven House elections since 2010, republicans won the congressional popular vote four times: https://ballotpedia.org/Proportion_of_each_party%27s_nationa.... They won 1-6 million more total votes. Republicans will almost certainly win the House popular vote this year too.

I’m deeply curious how you formed the belief that democrats would consistently win without gerrymandering. That’s obviously not true even if you look at polling, which obviously isn’t affected by gerrymandering. Democrats are 0.5 points ahead on the generic congressional polls, but republicans were 2.5 points ahead last fall. RCP clocked them 2.5 points ahead in 2022 (actual was 2.8).
What I love about this perspective is that one can imagine production plans based on catching the monsoon season. The Indian ocean is also no joke to sail through anytime much less monsoon season. This took sophisticated thought and cultural focus to pull off.
My gut reaction to the license was exactly OP's -- it felt shady and sleazy.

Then my logic kicked in and I came to the same conclusion you did -- it's not open source, but source-available means people can audit that it's honest. That's a huge win over closed-source, especially for something privacy-focused.

I think the gut feeling comes from a long history of projects using source-available licenses in shady ways. The brain pattern-matches.

That would be good to address upfront. Simply stating "not open source, but source-auditable" might help address this.

Another good thing would be to post the price upfront. Right now, it requires an email to get to which is an antipattern.

These issues are cosmetic (but important).

This looks like a really good project.

The hell it wasn’t. The year Joe Biden took office in the Senate, Democrats won 10% more House seats than their share of the Congressional popular vote.
It is a common misconception that Mormons are not allowed to consume caffeine, the limitation is actually on "hot drinks," which is interpreted as having meant tea and coffee specifically in the time it was written down. They still drink soda and other heated drinks such as wassel, hot chocolate, and postum (a morning coffee substitute most folks find absolutely disgusting).

(we live near a de facto Mormon college and pester our neighbors, who are largely Mormon professors, about such things)
In my case it was regaining strength from taking weight-lifting semi-seriously in my 20's. It was actually amazing at how fast muscle can come back even after a decade. But I continued lifting and am stronger now at 38 than I ever have been in my life. What I am saying is that mid-30's is hardly when sarcopenia sets in. I'm sure it's individualized, but I don't seem to have a harder time gaining muscle now than I did back then; for me it's always been joint/tendon issues that have been limiting anyway.

The idea is to disincentivize using land to hoard wealth at the expense of society, for example an empty plot or abandoned building in the middle of a busy city or intersection.

Tens of thousands of people could benefit by making it a destination, versus being harmed by making it extra distance to travel around to get to a destination.

So the tax is on the land instead of the improvement on the land. A person who sits on it and a developer who builds something like apartments with shops underneath pay the same property tax (aka land value tax).

Seems like the fact of a large India-Egypt trade link via the red sea was known atleast a year back, and specifically this evidence from Berenike. This [0] link describes the author William Dalrymple talking about it and also about his book [1] which is already out, which presumably covers this in more detail. A lot of Indian scholars are (re)discovering Indic history and we can expect much more of ancient India specific history to come out, which was unknown or has been forgotten over the ages, given the ancient nature of the Indian civilization.

I assume a lack of manpower and lack of concerted attention to specific scams.

I think this is really understated. After developing a facial twitch and realizing I was consuming more than 1000 mg of caffeine a day, I switched to decaf once the particular project was over. No one told me it's physically addictive and has withdrawal symptoms! It's the only thing that would keep me functional and able to drive on with a project though.
I don’t see why your lumber mill has to be affected?

Land value tax proposals would mostly just change things in urban areas, where land is scarce and valuable. There are no lumber mills there, just rich people who own the land from either having inherited it or an REIT owning it, waiting for it to appreciate.

I’m assuming you live in a rural area, which have (relatively) low land values.

It’s the strip mall suburbs that are highly inefficiently developed due to no penalty on the inefficiency (caused by low density).

The whole objective of copyright is to encourage dissemination of knowledge.

I agree with the folks at GS. Every non-tech corporation in the world is trying to figure out some kind of "AI strategy," but most executives and managers have no clue as to what they're doing or ought to be doing with respect to "AI." They're like patsies joining a very expensive game of poker they don't understand, and they are driven by FOMO, ready and eager to put down gobs of cash on the table, because they don't want to miss their chance of winning. They are on track to learn predictable lessons that cannot be learned in any other way.
This is very, very confused. It comes off as dishonest, but isn't; it's just the case that the developer doesn't get it. It seems well-meaning, but badly done.

Developer: I am, in all honesty, glad for the experimentation. However, you should understand that critical issues include the ability to remix. I cannot use your code in my project. Ergo, it is not open, free, libre, or similar.

You're better off underselling and overdelivering. The term should also convey what this does. I like "source-auditable" or similar. "Source-first" says nothing.

You should also think about longevity. How do I know the license won't change next week?

There's something about uppers that prevents a person from being vulnerable to viruses, I used to get sick like the flu once a year like clockwork when I lived in Florida, usually right when the cold season started.

They’re not effective unless people actually do the follow on actions and create change. Otherwise they are just bitch sessions.

They also can suck because the fundamental problems are not solvable by the group of people in the meeting. They’re endemic to the organization and at best you can work around those issues.

People also are hesitant to discuss some elephants in the room, or have a sense of learned helplessness about certain topics.

> There are software implementations of OpenGL but they tend to be rather mediocre at best for performance.

This is because OpenGL is made so that you need to run a program to calculate color of every pixel, even if all you want is to copy a glyph. Obviously it will be slow unless you have hundreds of core running in parallel. Software implementations should either learn to convert shaders to non-parallel optimized loops, or something other than OpenGL should be chosen as a basis for rendering GUI.
I truly appreciate your in-depth articulation.

> Yes, it's possible to scoop academic colleagues and steal ideas from spouses. Plagiarism applies there too.

I like the idea that lots of novel scientific ideas were really invented by someone's spouse who doesn't work in the field. One day they happened to look over their partner's shoulder on a whim and said "Oh, honey, surely you mean this?" - and thus the hard scientific problem of the day was solved! Maybe that's how software gets written, too? Perhaps we should add people's spouses to the contributor lists for software? I'm sure many engineers talk to their husbands and wives about their work over dinner. It is simply unacceptable how few spouses end up in the contributors list!

I suspect what's really going on here is that we have different ideas of what constitutes "plagiarism". What is your working definition of that term? How much support would my spouse have to give me before I'm ethically required to add them as a coauthor? Would talking about the topic over dinner be enough? What if they read over my work and pointed out a spelling or grammar mistake? Should AI based code assistants be banned outright (since they are trained on opensource code)? Should code assistants be listed as contributors?

For context, I've worked at multiple universities in multiple countries. And I've spent several years teaching. That has involved telling my students where my line for plagerism is. And getting students in trouble when they cross that line. It sounds like by your reckoning I've been doing it all wrong all this time. So please, enlighten us all. What is plagiarism? How much LLM assistance, exactly, is too much in an academic context? And, if you'll indulge my curiosity, how much experience do you have in universities?

(Sadly, I must also acknowledge that I talked to my partner about this comment before posting it. So many obviously stolen ideas - I'm a fraud down to my very bones.)

> It is then the same as Microsoft/Google or any other for profit company - you also get "software as is" and even if Excel blows up all your data MSFT is not liable for it. But still there is expectation that they will fix bugs that blow up someones data.

The thing is I pay for for Excel so I expect and demand them to fix their bugs! If I use an open source library for free I have no right to demand them anything, I can hope they will fix their bugs, I can contribute and fix the bugs myself if I can, but I have no right to the developers time or attention.
It was the original intent before copyright terms got expanded out to insanity. (Ditto for patents).

The notion was that instead of having authors jealously and exclusively guarding their works, they can copyright them and get a period of guaranteed income. After that period lapses, the works enter the public domain which enriches the general public.

That reduces the risk of important works being lost.

Without the copyrights, you could imagine private libraries popping up and works only accessible via strict security.
Because by providing a temporary monopoly, it allows one a better guarantee to recoup costs, making the investment worthwhile in the first place, thus incentivizing people to spend time and effort creating works in the first place. Then, once the work has been created and costs recouped, it reverts to the public domain where everyone can access it. At least that's how pro-copyright parties explain it, not sure that ever was actually historically accurate.
