It is easy to jump back and forward between this social media platform and the issue tracker. What do you think is incentivising the pitchforks you are complaining about - where do you think they want the angry mob to vent? The gamified issue tracker is where.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the roadmap mentioning switching from GPT4 Turbo to 4-o and hoping for better math performance feels like they are betting on a significant near term reliability improvement in LLMs without any other real plans. That magic jump is starting to look more and more doubtful by the day.
This ‘everyone is using it so I need to also’ logic is funny to me, given the idea of the F in FOSS is to use network effects to spread the idea of software freedom. Using and thus endorsing a proprietary platform with ever increasing integration into the software lifecycle seems to do the exact opposite of that.
GPL software needn’t have anything to do with GNU - having alternative projects is healthy for many reasons.
I just think that trying to make a permissive drop-in replacement for software that emphasises the very freedoms that have allowed the creation of the replacement in the first place is unfortunate and short-sighted. It’s a good thing that the authors have every right to do it all the same though.
It’s a shame to see all this effort going toward replacing core GPL licensed utilities with permissive ones. It seems like a particularly common thing in the Rust community.
It feels disrespectful of the intentions of the work that went into the tools that are being cloned.
I don’t see how the particular license has anything to do with it. The gist is the content is being used under a claim of ‘fair use’. It doesn’t matter what the license terms are in that case. It seems like the argument is toward small creatives somehow banding together and ‘close sourcing’ their work.
When working in a research lab we used to have people boast that their analysis was so big it ‘brought down the cluster’ - which outed them pretty quickly to the people who knew what they were doing.
It was really cool watching the ~daily updates on this on Mastodon - seeing how someone so skilled gradually pieces together a complex piece of software.
You are trying to suggest that Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t have a detailed knowledge and control over core Meta features, nor knowledge of the societal damage they can do?
Generally for HN the request for politeness is positive I think, but in the technology area and especially journalism I think there is an unhealthy aversion to calling people out for anti-social behaviour, leading to a chilling effect on discussing it.
