I was around when it started and at that time it was ideological, ala Stallman. Those participating were some of the best programmers that have ever lived. Much later college students got involved and their motivations were totally different - they were looking to do something that would help them land a job, build a reputation, or make money.
Erlang is an influential language, it has its uses.

But Erlang and by extension Elixir are a hard sell unless you are writing a system like Whatsapp.
For software related cheats maybe, but keep in mind that keyboard, screen and mouse being processed by an entirely separate computer is also very viable.
$1 is ludicrously low as an OS licensing fee, if we're suggesting non-FOSS, proprietary alternatives.

> Can you “use a computer” to watch a pirated film? Sure. Is it legal? Nah.

In many circumstances you can't mass distribute completely identical, non transformative, non fair use copies of large portions other people's copyrighted works, if thats what you meant.

But there are many exceptions to that rule where you are allowed to use or distribute other people's works. And just like a human being is allowed to use other people's copyrighted works in those many exceptions, a human is also allowed to use a computer to take advantage of those legal exceptions.

The only point here is that when you brought up that this uses a computer in your first post, thats not really a relevant detail.

A person can use those exceptions that allow them to use other people's copyrighted works, and they can do that with or without a computer and it is legal in those exceptions either way.

> If watching that pirated film helps you learn something, does that make it legal?

> If the film was pirated not by you but by some for-profit company that charges you for watching it, does that make it legal?

It depends on many factors. Yes there are many cases where yes it is legal to use other people's works.

Edit:

Evidence that I am right: you are right now commenting on a thread where a judge threw out all the copyright claims.

If it helps you at all - you're definitely not alone with this, I'm going through the same "existential crisis" of sorts in my 30s.

The internet and the variety of content and dopamine sources are horrible for some people who have ADHD, myself included. So much time wasted last decade going down the rabbithole on Youtube, Wikipedia, video games, etc. with deep regrets of missing out on more important things in life like networking, socializing, trying new things, etc. Not sure if you feel that way as well.

Even with long-term medication (Vyvanse)- which I have my own personal reservations about if they really "work" or not - I still struggle with this daily.

If you're looking/asking for advice - for me, I've found that taking drastic, meaningful actions help. "ripping the bandaid off", if you're familiar with that phrase.

I've unplugged my gaming PC, threw the power cord in the trash, and challenged myself to go as long as I could without it. I purchased a lower-end laptop and dock to plug into to still have dual monitors. It's not powerful enough to play the games I want to play which was the point, but I could still run VS Code to work with Python, Javascript, spin up webservers to play around, etc.

I ended up lasting a couple of weeks before purchasing a new power cord - but I did learn to remember that I do like programming/scripting.

The lack of self-control/willpower sucks. It would be nice if there were ADHD life coaches that didn't cost an arm and a leg.
That's for someone with legal experience and knowledge to answer.

I can only offer my opinion and more questions. For example; if you're a punk rock band and hire an artist to create promo material, and they draw a "vulgar Mickey Mouse" without your knowledge, who is in trouble? Seems you should just work backwards until you get to a human or org and have them tried in court on a case by case basis. Maybe that's a bad idea for reasons others can explain, its just my current opinion.

The linked article says something different:

'We first estimate the supply-side value by calculating the cost to recreate the most widely used OSS once. We then calculate the demand-side value based on a replacement value for each firm that uses the software and would need to build it internally if OSS did not exist. We estimate the supply-side value of widely-used OSS is $4.15 billion, but that the demand-side value is much larger at $8.8 trillion.'
I have not found that arguing with lightning-is-death folks to be particularly successful.
I don't know if you meant it, but being in someone's pocket implies a financial relationship. I've never heard the claim before that organizations affiliated with the police are paying court members for friendly decisions.

Here is a 2018 case [0] where Thomas, widely seen as the most ideologically conservative, and often accused of receiving inappropriately valuable gifts from wealthy conservatives, agreed that a 4th ammendment violation occurred when an officer entered someone's curtilage without a warrant to investigate a stolen vehicle.

And here is a 2021 case [1] where Thomas again concurs that an officer may not follow you into your home without a warrant just because he was pursuing you under the belief you committed a misdemeanor.

(In both cases Thomas makes a separate point about evidence admissibility. He believes that federal courts cannot compel state courts to throw out evidence obtained by 4th ammendment violation. If that is to be done, the state government must impose that constraint on itself. He proposes other permissible remedies for such violations.)

That is false, at least for the top tax bracket (which is what I'm referring to).

Even the Tax Foundation, which is a biased source that is anti-tax in general states that the effective rate for the top bracket was 6% higher then than it is today (https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/taxes-on-the-rich...)
The consequence of all the abuse of the intent of open source licenses has just resulted in me not writing any open source code. I have a lot less issues with a code generator trained on GPl code that produces GPL code with the LLM being under GPL as well. Its the commercial licensing and paying for it that seems to breach the intent of these licenses to me.

I guess Microsoft has gotten what it wanted and has got to the extinguish stage of its plan for open source finally and all it needed was a chatbot.
You can't outlaw the exercise of power, so the extreme power imbalance itself is the core problem for humanity; and the only way to fix that is to take some of their power away.

> donating large amounts to political groups, and lobbying

Those are indeed ways of exercising power that can be outlawed, but there are other ways of exercising power that are impossible to outlaw. For example, the ultra-rich can spend far more money on lawyers than anyone else. How are you going to outlaw that? And even the charitable contributions of the ultra-rich are controversial and probably wouldn't happen in a true democracy. E.g., the Bill Gates foundation has a lot of influence on global health spending[1]:

>
If you look across global health, they’re funding everybody. Nobody is more than one degree removed from the Gates Foundation. So it’s really difficult to avoid the foundation’s money.

Basically they wield so much power that even their charitable contributions to society are inherently political, unlike say if I volunteer at my local rescue mission.

If they are so concerned with low latency, how come they are wasting an entire roundtrip (the "OPEN + OPEN/ACK") before sending any data?

I mean in TCP it's not allowed (Even though, super-theoretically, it's not completely forbidden) to carry a payload in the initial TCP SYN. If you're so latency-obsessed to create your own protocol, that's the first thing I'd address.

if you put angry/demanding vs supportive/helpful on a 0-10 scale, things hover in the 6-7 range typically. i think computer programming for whatever reason correlates a lot with a certain kind of impatience that we all have. I have gobs of it. We're all fighting it each day to not piss each other off because when youre in "flow" we all know how it is when whatever OSS project suddenly surprises you.

truth be told I spend my OSS maintenance day being more and more pissed off all day really and a lot of it comes from the desire to recognize when people are either subtly or not-so-subtly asking of you to make sacrifices for them. The person who didn't read the docs, the person who didn't read your "new issue" template asking them to please open a discussion since they likely didn't find a bug, to write clear self-contained demonstration code and to not assume your well defined and documented behavior is a "bug, let me know when this is fixed", the programmers who are asking you to upend your whole project for what they in a very dunning-kruger sense think is a good idea, these are all things that someone can respond to in a patient and friendly manner. Heck anyone that works in the service industry has to have an iron-clad patient and friendly manner with all forms of idiots and jerks, including when it's me. But for me personally, doing the open source thing, and also quite obviously for a lot of other folks doing it, man it's hard to keep the fireballs in check while at the same time giving each of these users a clue that there's something they could be doing to make life easier for the maintainers of the project that they are using for free.

rant over I guess!
> They want Telegram not him.

They actually want him to comply with the French law (a country which he is a citizen of) and timely remove the illegal content that he's been made aware of.

If all Telegram chats were e2e encrypted, he'd have much more plausible deniability. But they aren't, so he is required by law (as a French citizen) to remove the offending content.

The best thing he can do is stay, serve his sentence/pay his fine, and improve Telegram to have e2e encryption by default (or better yet, mandatory), and focus on e2e encryption for group chats.

His resistance to do that over the years, along with his insistence that somehow Telegram is super secure make me wonder if he's not already been compromised.
I am not a lawyer, but I explore these questions by imagining an existing situation with a human. If your friend gave you code to publish and it turned out he gave you someone else's code that he had memorized, would you be breaching copyright? The answer in that case is plainly yes, and I think it would be no different with an LLM.

Substituting a human for a computer changes some aspects of the situation (e.g., the LLM cannot hold copyright over the works it creates), but it's useful because it leaves the real human's actions unchanged. However, for more complex questions that interact with things like work-for-hire contract law, you may need to take a more sophisticated approach.
I have a slightly different take: if your business is only profitable by the taxpayer subsidizing a relatively large number of employees wages with welfare benefits, you should be capped on how profitable your business is. In other words, you can be as profitable as you want but as soon as your business model relies on taxpayers to be viable, those taxpayers have a say in just how much profit is considered reasonable.

Is amazon's model even profitable for these low-price high-volume parts without its binning system?

I literally do not buy things off amazon that fall into these "binning problem" categories, or anything easily counterfeitable. I'll buy from amazon for things that essentially cannot be counterfeit (GPUs, hard drives, things where counterfeits would be more likely to be a brick of the same weight rather than something that worked but was crappy or dangerous), or where i'm essentially trying to get "counterfeit"-grade stuff (stuff like plastic or metal garden spikes, where i just want the cheapest possible thing that will hold my irrigating tubing in place).

Seems the tipping lobby (aka Big Tipping ie the workers receiving the tips) is too powerful on this one lol.

> We don’t yet know which parts of the FOSS system is sustainable,

Probably the parts that have been around for decades.

As someone who's created open source software in the past, I'm put off mostly the explosion in software complexity over the last two decades, the constant churn in libraries and tooling which places an unreasonable maintenance burden on a spare-time hobbyist, and the bad taste left in the mouth by Microsoft using copilot to license-launder the github corpus.

I still produce open source software and gateware on a recreational basis, but in quiet little backwaters of the noosphere which aren't going to change the world (or be tainted by AI) any time soon!
> In most circumstances you can't mass distribute completely identical, non transformative, non fair use copies of large portions other people's copyrighted works

That law was defined long before there was a capability to launder authorship at scale in the way being discussed. The law does not account for this novel capability.

The law is intended to protect IP, which promotes innovation and creativity by creating relevant incentives. If that was the intention of the law, and it is not interpreted in that way, it ought to be revised for it to continue to serve those objectives.

> Evidence that I am right: you are right now commenting on a thread where a judge threw out all the copyright claims.

This only shows that you read the headline. It does not show that you (or the judge) are correct about the core issue.
No.
Let's say I have $100 million. Every year, for 50 years, I get a $2 million loan against only $2 million of my asset. The loans keep rotating and keep going.
At the end of 50 years, I die. When I die, the assets go to my estate AND (and this is important) my assets base value is rebased to current values.
My heirs sell some assets to pay off the loans. BUT the assets have been rebased to current value, so there is no tax due (since sell value is the same as base value).
Let me repeat.
My estate pays NO TAXES at all since the assets were rebased.

That's called tax efficiency ;-)
The ruling I referred to above was in fact that it is not legal to purchase the default search engine as this is de-facto anti-competitive behavior for a clear monopoly (which is, itself, not illegal—sometimes products dominate markets because they're genuinely better). Interestingly this means that what they've paid out (something on the order of a hundred billion, I think, all things told) is likely the floor for whatever is necessary to remediate the anti-competitive behavior.

There's also a possibility the DOJ will fumble this and make them offer alternative engines in a more aggressive manner and fine them, which will change nothing. I think the judge indicated such, so hopefully they take this opportunity seriously.

The EU and the world could have a privacy focused browser if they paid for it. If they don't they're going to always be waiting for the market to do it and it won't. Given that Mozilla wastes a lot of resources on things that are thoroughly pizzled (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autofac) a browser could be maintained for much less than the current Mozilla budget. This is why "fully funded" as opposed to "funded" is key. So long as the organization feels the need to go around with its hat out it is going to be corrupt.
