There are two general options: 1. Scrape a google search for the question, feed that into OpenAI with the additional prompt of "Given the above information, is the answer to <user prompt> yes or no". Or give the AI a "g

Apple is a non-sequitur. Tuuxedo is giving up on Qualcomm in favor of AMD and Intel. Do AMD and Intel require Tuuxedo to pay for premium support in order to get working Linux drivers? No, of course not. Qualcomm's support for Linux is

Yeah, indeed. Developers have a bad habit of adding mutable fields to plain old data objects in Go though, so even if it's immutable now, it's now easy for a developer to create a race down the line. There's no way to indicat

Mind explaining your debugging setup, i.e. which IDE you use and what tooling you use to be able to step through and reason about code?

"best in class"? I feel like Java's IDE support is best in class. I feel like go is firmly below average. Like, Java has great tooling for attaching a debugger, including to running processes, and stepping through code, addin

The mutex case is one where they're using a mutex to guard read/writes to a map. Please show us how to write that cleanly with channels, since clearly you understand channels better than the author. I think the golang stdlib autho

It seems like the normal and rational choice to not include logging to me. Java included 'java.util.logging'. No one uses it because it's bad, everyone just uses slf4j as the generic facade instead, and then some underlying i

There's also a cost problem here. Who's paying $30 to run an AI agent to run a single experiment that has a 20% chance of success? On large code-bases like this, where a lot of context gets pulled in, agents start to cost a lot ve

Can't they? They're given the option to take the upstream code under the AGPLv3, so if they take the code as AGPLv3, they can incorporate their changes since AGPL and GPL are compatible.
289.
by TheDong 11mo ago
The AGPLv3 is for the new code core writes going forward I would assume. Distributing a mix of AGPL and GPLv3 code is pretty reasonable to do, right, and I think basically all the user's rights under the GPLv3 are being fulfilled just

I'm not a lawyer, but looks totally fine to me. If you look at the link they have for proof, the change was GPLv3 to a dual-license AGPLv3 + not-really-specified license you can privately arrange. They have to respect the original GPLv

To me the key difference is that Wikipedia summaries are written by a human, and so creativity imbues them with new copyright. OpenAI outputs are an algorithm compressing text. A jpeg thumbnail of an image is smaller but copyright-wise iden
