It works. It is hooked up to Stripe. You can upload your package.json and receive a fully cleanroomed set of dependencies to use yourself. It is up to you to determine whether this is a compelling product or a warning to those who care about FOSS.
- karel-3d 7mo agoIt's a satire, if you google the authors it's even more clear.
- pabs3 7mo agoWould be nice if it could clean-room replace proprietary software too. Would require automating the procedure this person did: https://reorchestrate.com/posts/your-binary-is-no-longer-safe-decompilation/ https://reorchestrate.com/posts/your-binary-is-no-longer-saf... https://reorchestrate.com/posts/your-binary-is-no-longer-safe-conversion/ https://reorchestrate.com/posts/your-binary-is-no-longer-saf...
- Nolski 7mo agoI do like this idea, more difficult to do without access to the original source code, and I think that this would be more "reverse engineering" rather than cleanrooming, as you don't have the same concerns about copyright violation if you're working from a binary.
- pabs3 7mo agoI think the same copyright concerns apply when working with binaries, which is why clean-room reverse-engineering was invented in the first place. So that no disassembled/decompiled code could be copied into the newly created codebase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-room_design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-room_design It would be a combination of reverse engineering and clean rooming, assisted with FOSS tools and LLMs; run NSA Ghidra to decompile the binary, LLM-clean the output code, LLM-generate the clean-room spec, LLM-verify the clean-room spec is not copyright infringing, LLM-generate code from the clean-room spec.
