Even if that's true, don't forget that the semi-conductor companies that are backed by the US are already state-of-the-art and profitable companies. China has to establish a de novo industry, it's not surprising that to do th

You went for an incorrect reading of my message, and then built an entire argument against that incorrect reading of that message, and then even went on to assume the people who seem to agree with me also follow that incorrect reading. Let

You're right, I don't want to imply it's OSI's fault at all. There is an incentive from the ex-opensource companies to move on from their permissive licenses to something else. That movement is entirely separate from OSI

I'm not familiar with the Elastic ecosystem, but both MongoDB and Redis have a great plenty of competitors, many of which implement the same wire protocols even, that don't make use of their license at all. So I don't think s

Thank you, and it's great that it was recognised a structural change was needed inside and that they attracted you to help implement that. I understand there's deep and long threads on the mailing list, and that there are great fl

OSI lost touch with their mission. This SSPL license is clearly an open source license in the full spirit and original intent of open source. It is more aggressively copyleft than AGPL is. Their reasoning[0] for not considering it open sour

Does anyone know why they stopped with the awards thing? I really thought it was a clever way of monetizing and I still regularly feel like buying a reddit comment a reward. Was it really that they were embarrassed by how little money it wa

Now that pingora is open source, it might make a lot of sense to build that project on top of pingora. You'd get the battle tested quality that nginx is lauded for. I wouldn't switch to a "fork" of nginx if it's a f

Well if that's what they did, then then using NATS over HTTP in that scenario is just switching a single point of failure for two single points of failure with no feedback on the second point, did they just pick it for the convenience

While I generally agree with the idea that a direct HTTP request for a single point to point message would be more reliable than routing through a message queue, I'm a little bit surprised that there would be so many messages lost by N

The Barbie being an easier to watch movie than Oppenheimer is a take I didn't expect to see on HN. I'm pretty sure a lot of people on here were a lot more uncomfortable watching the Barbie movie than they were watching Oppenheimer

As someone with an interest in the history of physics as I'm sure many people here are, I didn't much like the film either. I liked the renditions of the different physicists and the overall arc of the story, but more like I'

As a European, I don't think that's true. Besides the fact that apparently in Europe we don't check imported goods as noted elsewhere in the thread, in the US eggs are washed so thoroughly they have to be kept in the fridge a

Ah, right so that's only true if you believe that all output from Github Copilot infringes on copyright. Most responses from LLM's don't include copyrighted information, or at least not substantial portions of such.

by tinco 3y ago
I, nor anyone else in this thread believes that the copyright is removed from the output of the LLMs, in fact we're arguing quite the opposite. Your point is obvious to everyone. The question is why do you think anyone else believes di

Why do you assume it's a legitimate thing to do? Nothing changed from a copyright perspective. You can copy a GPL file directly, or take a photo of it, then decode the JPG, OCR the bitmap and put the result in a file, or you can train

Through value tracking. It's actually LLVM that does this, GCC probably does it as well, so in theory explicit bounds checks in regular C code would also be removed by the compiler. How it works exactly I don't know, and apparentl

by tinco 3y ago
The bounds checks in Rust are implicit (i.e. part of the std implementation), and get removed by the compiler if they're unnecessary. I think that's a pretty great improvement over the state of things in C. And if you are convince

They're probably generating based on GitHub code. If I were training a code model I'd take a snippet of code, have the existing LLM explain it. Then use the explanation and the snippet for the test data.

Not sure if they wouldn't. The sort of companies 17yr's hear about and are excited about in the past 20 years have all done extremely well. Perhaps that's a quirk of the past 20 years, but I wouldn't dismiss 17yr olds in

Yeah our path to upgrade is going component by component switching them to compositional style.

I fell for a feint though. Reading their docs it seemed like they were going to go in the direction of class components with attributes (class decorators). So we built our app for that, thinking we'd be future proof, but alas the commu

You can often tell a system is written in Go when it locks up with no feedback. Go gives the illusion that concurrency is easy, but it simply makes it easy to write fragile concurrent systems. A common pattern is that one component crashes
