Maybe people just like it? I can’t stand the underroasted garbage that is peddled as coffee nowadays. Sour with no body, taste, or substance! Good Italian coffee is perfect as it is.

You are allowed to like whatever you want, even if it is bodyless, tastesless and oversour bean water in which you invariably dump loads of milk in order to taste it even less. We are just saying it is equivalent and easier to just drink te

I hate modern coffee. It tastes like sour water, or at best like tea. It tastes nothing like good coffee, the properties of which we already figured out long ago eg. in a good Italian espresso. And then these people dump all aggregates of

Essentially yes. While weak copyleft would be fine for the use cases i have seen, the distinction and the licenses have yet to be tested in a EU court. As a a consequence there are a numbers of legal options on the matter and as a consequen

It’s easy to say everyone else is wrong but the majority of innovation and new projects nowadays are coming from people wanting to do oss while still supporting a business with it. That is having it be more than a hobby. Now you can say tha

Copyleft are sadly unclear legally which is why essentially no company uses copyleft licenses even if they should. I mean the intend of apgl is exactly right, but in practice it means you can never ever use it in a company even if you reall

The fork is typically closed source so you do not get to benefit from it and neither does the public good. This of course means that you should never use permissive licensing since it doesn’t provide many key benefits of what people thought

The issue is that hyperscalers will not host your product. They will fork it, close source it, and you get no benefit not even security research. And if you use copyleft, nobody uses your product (or asks flr a commercial non FOSS license)

No you are wrong. People want adoption by any company other than hyperscalers. People would be happy to sell service contracts and the like while keeping their code foss, if only hyperscalers weren’t direct competitors to that. But the real

I really would like to but from working in consulting I know that AGPL is banned in most companies since it’s specifics are completely diffuse and need to be hashed out in court (or are unpalatable). In spirit the AGPL is what is needed but

If your last sentence were true, you’d prefer a world where hyperscalers do not fork and close source a FOSS project but the FOSS project continues on to thrive With copyleft being effectively banned in most companies, it means that there i

So compete with AWS or do not make money at all? What a weird reality, seems hyperscalers have truly won and OSS is dead at the same time

Aws killing off an oss company by shady anti competitive tactics and inherenting their code for free is certainly not in the spirit of oss So if you are only saying it is their right, well, as per know CLA it is well within the oss companie

Nobody knows what the AGPL actually says, since it has not been determined sufficiently in court (at least in the EU) which is why the license is blacklisted by most companies. If you want corporate adoption except AWS, you still cannot use

They did figure it out. Contributors signed CLA and so their license change was absolutely legal and in line with what everyone agreed upon. When you started using the product, you should have known this. See what I did there?

But they score it on their own benchmark, on which coincidentally Gemini models always were the only good ones. In Nolima or Babilong we see that Gemini models still cant do long context. Excited to see if it works this time.
