• he’s not anthropic, and doesn’t have billions of dollars
• stealing from open source is not stealing, that’s the point of open source
• the argument above is that these models are allegedly trained “regardless of license” i.e. implying they are trained on non-oss code

So he’s a badass Robinhood pirate that steals code from corporations and gives it to the people?

That’s sick, I have a lot of respect for that guy, and it feels good that he had a similar (better) idea

Seems like a natural next step is some kinda reputation system for a project’s contributors. If you’ve written 50 successfully merged PRs, you’re certainly less likely to make trash in any method. Create a mentorship heirarchy. It sounds very helpful no matter what. Then the people who have merged 0 PRs to the project will likely work harder too, since they know they will be at the most scrutiny

Yes, welcome

Idk he makes some pretty wild claims along the way

• AI is only going to become more expensive for corps with time. This has ~never been true in computing, where specialized hardware and optimizations trend costs down
• That marketing managers are dumbass easy marks who are wasting their company money. Every half way decent marketing department measures outcomes and knows exactly how much money is generated by their activities

https://www.sketchup.com is pretty easy

What an era. Was kinda the most unbalanced moba, where a single high skill player could dominate both teams. Good time to be a mid ganker carry

cries in his no longer useable projector mod

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That’s all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I’m impressed

I played this as a child it was brutal

Yeah just keep laying off staff until they are, amirite?

Statements like this are always saved for when a corp justifies layoffs. The reality is that the American tax code is made to encourage corps to spend all the money you make (in which case corps don’t pay tax at all). VCs and big tech leverage their positions to massively increase power whether the individual company has savings or not

HabitBull is fantastic

Really boring article. It takes like 5 pages to get to what it’s tryna say: use CRDT, which is a real time collaborative editing algo, and CRDT is awesome. Problem is internet topologies and all the weird stuff that goes on

Take webrtc, which is exactly meant for p2p data streaming between arbitrary peers. Well, the dirty secret is that for it to work well, you usually need a TURN server, which is a centralized data relay. Unless you’re connecting over local network, the turn server serves to literally send all the webrtc data to the peers

When you think about this some more, many many apps would be worse p2p. Think about anything with a CDN delivering video or files. Obviously you want those videos pre-replicated worldwide so that they can be served asap. Ok so p2p is only for collaboration, fine

Next problem, there’s a good reason we all chose cloud. Even huge corps realized it would save them a ton of money to switch from their expensive private datacenters and staff. They were already paying money to some bomb shelter style server host, now they are just doing it virtually. And your engineers no longer have to drive out to wipe drives or replug wires, it’s all perfectly managed

Yes fold it’s the best
