Yes, you would be allowed to extend the product. There is no 'it depends', the license is quite short and clear. You have to acquire a commercial license once you go over the revenue threshold, that is all. I find this much simple

I think the difference they alluded to is that they manually vetoed new users, presumably based on their self-declared goals and ideology, whereas Signal etc are neutral platforms.

It doesn’t have to be binary. A license like this allows for 99% of the personal and commercial use that a project will ever see, while giving the author leverage over large corporations - which is the main gripe people have. It is not id

Looks nice. Two main differences: - BUSL is OSI-approved and listed in SPDX, so corporate lawyers won't be scared away by it: https://spdx.org/licenses/BUSL-1.1.html - With BUSL the restriction is revenue-based. Y

This, for some reason, has become a controversial idea — as evidenced by your comment being downvoted. I don’t understand what angle people are coming from, when they disregard the community effects of open-source software entirely. If your

The discs are entirely compliant with the Blu-Ray spec, there is no “compatibility” mark; anything made in the past 10-15 years should work fine. Your writer may be out of spec? Apparently original M-Disc DVDs required a more powerful las

No mention of correctness or task success rate. This only works if the subagent model is much cheaper than the one running your session, which means it will probably be mistaken a lot more often [1] about what the code does. Routing purely

What kind of coding tasks would you expect to hit that limit? In my setup, on a very large codebase, it takes each agent 3-4 minutes at minimum to go past 100k tokens. (note it's 150k uncached tokens , the total limit is 450k/min

I think you're overindexing here. There are no obvious traces of AI in those full paragraphs (and I read thousands of lines of AI generated text daily). These are not the usual tells, just decent writing. It reads pretty much like ever

What signs of slop are people seeing here? Or is it just a knee-jerk reaction to encountering lots of text? I’ve worked in the field for a long time and see a carefully written, correct, calm article. No obvious AÍ tells in wording or sente

Honestly, I will just flag every post that is entirely AI slop from now on. This has to stop. The home page for this "independent research firm" is also 100% nonsense [1]. "The record a machine reads is not the one a company

Indeed. Those are even more off. It's like they haven't actually looked at what the AI produced - or the agent is also the one writing the replies here.

Thank you for sharing! A small piece of feedback: it is a really interesting article, but also quite grating to read. I'm guessing you used AI to review/edit, and it seems to have added a lot of filler and coated the piece with it

I'm sorry but that's just slop. The elevation in the actual CSS makes the shadow progressively lighter (technically correct, thought the proportions look very wrong, 2 is too dark), while the 3D model has it constant. There is not

This is awesome. I've been suffering through the process of buying a USB stick, figuring out BIOS and boot options to get Linux on my AMD AI Max mini PC for the past few days. Hope it can get support for Arch-based distros soon.
