Interesting. That's not my stack overflow experience at all. I'm fact after trying to use AI for code help for a bit stack overflow is an amazing breath of fresh air. I type my question into ddg or startpage, click on the first

"Basically, there is zero double checking in your computer for almost everything except stuff that goes across the network." This is so not true. All the high speed busses (QPI, UPI, DMI, PCIe, etc.) have "bit flip" prot

I'm sorry, would you hire someone that regularly steals hot dogs and only punches people instead of using a bat on them? Especially for a position of leadership and great power over others? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?

Why do I keep seeing, "it's not as bad as that" as a defense? It's still bad!

"Yeah, but they did it worse" is a very. weak. argument.

It does, but both side's followers are blind to it when their side does it. Or they think it's ok for their side to do it. I'm not sure which is scarier

That's a helpful explanation, thank you. As a consumer of free software, that sounds great! I agree that it sounds pretty messy for big companies and all their patent deals. Sucks to be them, I guess

I'm pretty surprised to learn that cats can be trained to follow commands!

I am not a lawyer, but what I understand from that is, if Apple authorizes use of bash under GPLv3, and then Apple decides it has a patent on something and bash is infringing on that patent, Apple can't go sue their customers for paten

I'm trying to understand you here, but I'm failing. I might need concrete examples of "use" and "distribution" being the same thing if you want to help me out.

by krupan 2y ago
I don't think you understand the difference between use and distribution, between running code and copying code. All source code is automatically copyrighted and restricted (at least in the US) and you must follow copyright laws and li

Viruses are things that latch onto other things without their permission . If you choose to build off of GPL code then yes, you must preserve the GPL license. There's an important difference. It's actually the same as any oth

I'm sorry, but you are way off base. Use is not restricted by GPL licenses. People have expressed desires to restrict use of GPL code (what if terrorists or pedophiles or Republicans use this code??) and Stallman and it's defend

There was zero chance of them having problems shipping bash and I'm glad you put problem in quotes.

All the replies to this spreading anti-GPL FUD are doing Microsoft's work for them. The idea that the GPL is "viral" and will latch onto any code it gets near is an Orwellian turn of phrase invented by Microsoft from what, 3

by krupan 2y ago
Hi! Do you work for Microsoft? There is nothing "non-permissive" about the GPL. You can use the code however you want. "Viral" is a perjorative description that Microsoft pioneered the use of to describe the GPL. Th

Exactly. Microsoft has been doing exactly this kind of crap since their very founding. The counter to it has existed for decades: GPL. And now AGPL for web stuff. How do you think the Linux kernel and GNU runtime have survived this long

I had to google this name and I found that he "makes" them sign a pledge to not raise taxes and to simplify tax laws, not to a pledge to oppose easier tax filing.

The vast majority of successful monopolies are because of government regulation and tax breaks that favor big incumbent businesses. If we massively simplified tax laws and regulations we'd simultaneously kill this specific Intuit probl

My dream is that the government puts Intuit out of business by massively simplifying tax laws, but I am most definitely not holding my breath

Sure, but do we really want to build machines that we raise to be kind and caring (or whatever we raise them to be) without a guarantee that they'll actually turn out that way? We already have unreliable General Intelligence. Humans.

by krupan 2y ago
It's really hard to picture general intelligence that's useful that doesn't have any intrinsic motivation or initiative. My biggest complaint about LLMs right now is that they lack those things. They don't care even if
