Yeah, or you can spin up a few GPU clusters, upload your entire document, and ask it. Blender has built-in search. That's not what this is.

What I find curious is that, apparently, its okay to use AGPL and then modify it to say "but actually, no freedom for you"? Very strange.

No, you do tutorials, and plenty of them. Takes a few days, and then you're pretty familiar. I don't think AI is needed here at all.

I have used blender plenty, I don't think it's mega intuitive, but it's not "I need something else to do the thinking for me" level hard.

It does say a lot about a person's attention span and intelligence when they cannot figure out one of the cleanest UIs in software, with such a buttload of tutorials and guides.

Again, what is the issue with funding? If I get funding from the German government, am I more trustworthy than someone who gets funding from the Hungarian government, like, really? Is there a real, tangible risk here that does not exist wit

Reputational loss isn't a good argument either, because what the comment I replied to said is that repositories in control of people in e.g. Russia are dangerous. That implies that a Russian or Chinese maintainer of popular open source

What about the fact that software is hosted on US/German/Australian/whatever else platforms and infrastructure, what's different with that, technically speaking? The fact that a majority of software we rely on is hosted

They don't. 1. LLMs are put in a position where everything they say is clearly based on encyclopedic knowledge of absolutely everything 2. LLMs try to use language that is very general, helpful and friendly, and as a result end up not

Here's an example: When asked about path buffer length in a programming context, ChatGPT 4-o claimed today tht 256 bytes is sufficient for *most systems*. That's an entirely false claim, like, completely invalid. It only says this

ChatGPT can just send you something that is completely wrong, and you have no way of knowing. That's why it's bad. On Wikipedia, for example, there is page history, page discussions, rules about sources, sources, and you can see w

No, if your commits are meaningful and have plenty of context, like they should, then you are not looking for the author. Instead, you are looking for "why is this here", and the commit should tell you.

> Managing memory in C is difficult and error prone. C++ solves this with smart pointers like std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr. No, it does not. Smart pointers are useful to help model lifetimes and ownership, but the real killer feat
