I do the same for translated code. It's not creative work which is a prerequisite for being copyrightable.

And avoid relying on direct LLM output for actual work to make sure I don't accidentally include some regurgitated snippet from an incompatible license.

It helps that LLMs struggle to write good, idiomatic code in my language of choice.

The era of LLMs is similar to when Magic was discovered in the 1400s.

The layperson may be able to get ahold of a spellbook, but without Understanding it comes with high risk of turning your niece into a frog.

Whereas Wizards can cast increasingly powerful spells that build on each other, and make Art.

They may be thinking of Google's coarse location feature where the handset checks SSIDs in the proximity against Googles database for fast lookup.

git subtree was the OG tool: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20090430

It has since been merged into git proper:

This site is unreadable on mobile: the left side menu takes up almost the entire screen and zooming in on the content does not work.

I wish NATO would step in and annex the Russian region between Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It could become a new country rebuilt from modern standards. And permanently cuts Russian supply lines to the middle east.

Losing territory is the only thing Putin will see as a loss. That would force him to admit failure.

No source code. Maybe I'm spoiled after decades on Linux, but I really don't want to hand over my phone to an opaque binary blob.

Whoops. My mistake for only reading HN headlines and extrapolating. OP, please disregard this recommendation.

Fair point. Probably I should assert copyright on the translated work. In any case it ought to be part of the GPL. The current text is rather ambiguous.

Look for a "static site generator". Bearblog and Hugo are popular ones. Then you can host your site anywhere and don't have to worry about security problems.

The GPL isn't strict enough now that everyone has a copyright laundering machine at their disposal.

I've been experimenting with adding a "translation" clause in accordance with the GPL paragraph 7, where if by means of automatically translating the project to a different language (by transpiling or machine learning) the license is retained, but not necessarily the copyright.

So far I'm not happy with the results by Claude and ChatGPT. Probably I should talk to a lawyer.

The GPLv3 was largely invented to prevent tivoization, we need GPLv4 now to prevent copyright laundering.

It seems your previous submissions were flagged, likely because you're posting from a brand new account with no karma.

I vouched this post which makes it possible to comment. Probably you can reach out to [email protected] to lift the auto-flagging mechanism.

I'm no physicist, this is just how I understood this thread; but AIUI it's better to think of the neutrino being in all three eigenstates simultaneously, and if any of the three "bump into something" then it collapses to just the one flavor.
