Oh then like I don’t even see the problem. That said I think like a direct notification through email or something is probably better than random blog post, but I digress: They planned to walk away earlier as I believe I saw its really just

Yeah I suppose you’re right

I mean is it though? They've been open source for over a decade thats a really long con I guess. It’s more likely circumstances have changed. Which is why forking is a thing and you dont have to be oss forever. I stand by my assertion

What is so hard about the idea that you are not perpetually entitled to the free labor of other people? The only thing they owed people here was a 60 day notice imo. That would better respect the social contract.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.17800 (Glyph: Scaling Context Windows via Visual-Text Compression) You can also see this paper from the GLM team where they explicitly test this assumption to some pretty good results.

yes and I think better local sandboxing can help out in this case, it’s something ive been thinking about a lot and more and more seems to be the right way to run these things

Sure so the maintainers set the boundary themselves. I dont know what world you live in where you can be entitled to something you dont pay or contribute to. They can do whatever they want to ensure their project works and frankly once agai

But why? The AI can go off and search and I can do other stuff while it does. The point is the multiply how much you can get done, simple searches still require me to be present and to do the work of compiling the list myself, this type of

That's fine, less entitled people is healthy for a projects ecosystem. For a proper way this would work, you the user would contribute your time for those features so you don't overburden the maintainer, but people like you won&#x

Don't you realize how hostile it is to have a bunch of non contributors demand and entitle themselves to things and burn out OSS organizers at an increasing rate so much so it's been cited as an ongoing critical concern to the ent

Not to minimize the problem here, but there are only so many ways to code something. I've written a lot of code by hand and I can definitely imagine 1% of my code looking very close to an open source project's by virtue of it just

You don't get to decide what they want to maintain. They could have just deleted the features. This entire saga has made it so clear to me people that can only see what is in it for them versus being able to step into the shoes of a ma

> Forking is often impractical in reality as a solo dev or small team rarely has the resources to keep up with security fixes. Right, then as you've stated your recourse is not to use the library! That's fine and good and means

There was no rug pull! (And the term isn't even being used correctly) They talked in their community decided the set of features caused a support burden and for versions later on they would put them behind a pro tier to help pay for th

React is literally maintained by a consortium of the world's biggest companies and before this Facebook/Meta. This is a ridiculous thing to say.

by ianbutler 1y ago
In any hypothetical open source project I make from now on where I am the owner and sole director I'll just get rid of the features entirely if they cause an undue support burden (which the datastar dev has gone up and down both thread

Yeah cool, I think this is the point. People want to get paid for the work they produce and the dynamic in open source is not even quietly known to be unsustainable. I like the communal aspect of open source, but I don’t like overly demandi

Frankly the most accurate way I would describe what I do with AI is managed programming, or being a handler for the AI. The only issue with "Handled Programming" is I don't like how it fits for a name. Vibe is much too unseri

Well at least he said police will be on their best behavior too, but yeah unequivocally, fuck no and fuck this. I don't trust any government to utilize power like that and I certainly don't trust any singularly powerful person to

It's for sponsors too so yes a total view count is important since creators use views to negotiate deals. I have adblock[0], but I still watch sponsor spots. 0: I just side step this entirely these days by paying for premium.

I saw that, but soon doesn’t inspire confidence, and is easy to overlook if they don’t. They didn’t with the previous Codex model.

I just want the codex models in the API, I won’t touch them until then. And before someone says it, I do happen to have my own codex like environment complete with development containers, browser, github integration, etc. And I'm happy

Perhaps tons of places are dysfunctional. Nothing says quantity makes right.

There are several runbacks that are quite painful. I'm on the last bit of the game now and while I've overall very much enjoyed it there's more than a few spots where I thought "this is just tedious".

Thank you, making it concrete expressed what I was trying to say way better than I was doing in my reply :P

Equity ownership doesn't directly effect operating capacity on the same timescale as revenue. (sure investment does but in a positive way, but again not quite the same) Where as revenue does on shorter timescales, and 30% off revenue i
