We spread free software for multiple purposes, one of them being the free software ethos. People using that for training proprietary models is antithetical to such ideas. It's also an interesting double standard, wherein if I were to s

This is completely wrong. The equal protection clause, and the constitution as a whole, describes the rights of individuals as well as the structure and limits of the government. Individuals and companies are, in a literal sense, completely

I never read about Replit earlier this year, but I am now glad that I did. This article summarizes it in a way that is outrageously hilarious: The Replit incident in July 2025 crystallized the danger: 1. Jason Lemkin explicitly instructed t

If you've never worked in food before, you may be unaware that borderline half of the foods you eat, in restaurants, hospitals, prisons, even schools, are just the same frozen foods from Sysco. Their products are sold nationally and ar

For national history, Chinese is probably my favorite by far. May I suggest you do a domain-specific history dive, such as the history of computing, the history of science or some other subject you may enjoy more. That's the real good
