Another argument for every public funded thing should be open source.
- echelon 2y ago100%, publicly funded research should result in open code and papers, not private code and private journal publication. It looks like this was well-funded research: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1921678&HistoricalAwards=false https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1921678&His... The first grant was for $616,000 (over several years), and there are at least three more grants attached to this research. Academia is sometimes a bit ridiculous. This feels like something an undergrad student could do in their spare time for a capstone or thesis project with no material cost. YC would do a better job of this.
