If the metric is a latent variable summarizing subjective judgements, yes.

That is not a pivot I would have expected. Aviation turbines are not good utility turbines. If you just need to beef up your turbine engineering, drone turbines are probably the place to go. Less competition from GE etc.

At some point the biggest enemy is the inner cynicism that would tear down perfection manifest to avoid seeing even the bare idea of an aspiration and the consequent actions it would motivate.

In the broad strokes, the inaccuracy is to suggest that nobody besides the FSF and RMS were converging to many of the same conclusions at the same time. The FSF did a good job of tying their ideas to a ratchet (GPL and copyright assignment

It is as if BSD developers were not also getting out from under the AT&T license the whole time, the reason the BSD license probably developed.

1984 was published in 1949. GNU and the FSF are contemporary with Neuromancer. The BSD license predates the GPL and the idea of copyleft by several years. It takes a village to raise a child.

They might be focused on programmers, not users. Programmers come first because otherwise users don't come at all.

We have to platform and organize people, not rely on lone individuals. If there is a deep well of aligned interest, that interest needs a way to represent itself so that AMD has something to talk to, on a similar footing as a B2B relations

Hundreds of thousands of developers with access to a global communication network were not stopped by AMD. Why act like dependents or wait for some bright star of consensus unless the intent is really about getting the work for free? We do

The natural can create the formal. An extremely intuitive proof is that human walked to Greece and created new formalisms from pre-historic cultures that did not have them. Gödel's incompleteness theorems are a formal argument that o

Do we mean managed or PG on K8s like CNPG? In all cases, I use the infra to simplify things like having disk redundancy and failover nodes, not because 12GB is interesting.

This is the answer. We need online learning for our own code bases and macros.

I do believe it was just poor wording. I don't feel strong disagreement with the four freedoms, but the biggest reason I've gone fully _OSS and intentionally avoid "free/libre" is because I don't want to endors

Some may be confused into thinking this reply is a correction. I don't mean to appear to rebut. We know that the FSF is aware of the problem. The trouble can only be if we expect more success from repeating the same tactics for the n

Hardware growth is slow and predictable, but one breakthrough algorithm completely undercuts any finance hypothesis premised on compute not flowing out of the cloud and back to the edges and into the phones. This is a kind of risk that fina

You're obviously not very well acquainted. Positron is explicitly aligned with _OSS thinking. "Free/libre" is how the FSF moralizes use of their GPL in order to acquire more copyright assignment from programmers who pa

The FSF is the only home to the most dogmatic and narrow minded human beings I have ever met in my life. I dare not begin writing why. It is an essay. I have priorities to build things independent of the FSF proclivity for shortcomings.

It doesn't. There is a terminal frontend, a web rendering frontend, and a deprecated SDL frontend. The web frontend was explicitly developed to speed up development, writing implementations for graphics described in CL (the part bein
