First, a few disclaimers, I am not a lawyer and this is an actively evolving area. The answer that most aligns with current precedent to my knowledge is that the parts you modify are protected by your copyright, but the rest remains uncopyr

Meaty feet can be held to a fire. To quote IBM, "A computer can never be held accountable."

It is long, it represents the lower hundreds of billions bound in my awful napkin math.

It's internally logically consistent, but inconsistent with the data when measured and controlled properly.

The binary units like GiB, TiB, are technically supposed to be Gibibytes and Tebibytes. Thought it was a bit silly when they first popped up but now I find them adorkably endearing, and a good way to disambiguate something that's often

I did some ridiculous napkin math. A random URL I pulled from a Google search was 705 bytes. A googl link is 22 bytes but if you only store the ID, it'd be 6 bytes. Some URLs are going to be shorter, some longer, but just ballparking i

I think you're reading a little far into it, the number 10x was used prior so it was used there in demonstrating that there are some problems that scaling can't fix, it's not a statement on how far VR has come or not.

I wouldn't call it a clear sign of LLM use myself but in the year of our lord 2025 it should be unheard of, we've got so many nice tools for layouting nowadays. It's certainly below par if LLMs can't reliably manage it.

MCMC is reliably predictable. I believe I made it clear in my last comment that that was the goal, not actual run-to-run determinism which is achievable.

It's reasonable for tools to produce reasonable, predictable output to enable them to be used well. A tool can have awful, dangerous failure modes as long as they're able to be anticipated and worked around. This is the critical i

You didn't, but if we're introducing the mouse, we haven't dismissed the issues stemming from the lack of pointer warping.

I'm no fan of 3000 year old vampire dragons, but this is not a 3000 year old vampire dragon. The whole of Japanese animation should not be reduced down to 3000 year old vampire dragons.

Interesting that the video being used as a showcase is dropping so many frames. Is QuickShell particularly heavy, the system recording particularly anemic, or something else? For the first half of the video I didn't realize QuickShell

Both macOS and Windows have alternative window managers available, although macOS does need to be mutilated somewhat heavily to make it happen.

You cannot get the level of control out of keyboard shortcuts that you can with fine grained mouse movements. It'd be like trying to play a videogame while controlling camera movement with a controller DPAD/arrow keys.

If you have 10 harcoded values, you have a binary blob, a common feature particularly in hardware drivers that is opaque and commonly considered to not be fully free unless the instructions for deriving it are also included. It's frequ

Open models still have to get their data from somewhere, the only way they're any more immune is direct corruption. But marketers have shown time and time again that if there's any algorithmic crack in the wall, they will find it.

Even large hosted models fail at that task regularly. It's a silly anecdotal example, but I asked the Gemini assistant on my Pixel whether [something] had seen a new release to match the release of [upstream thing]. It correctly chose

There are many phrases, sentences, and concepts that don't generalize when you remove the facts at hand.

Somebody would. Somebody would be an AI evangelist, or would become one. The FOSS ecosystem is large enough to be sure of that. We're not seeing nothing, we're just not seeing at all what the marketers and AInfluencers are prophes

But plenty of maintainers are in the business of spending mass amounts of time, energy, and actual money on open source projects. Some make a business out of it. Some are sponsored by their employer to spend paid work hours on FOSS projec

I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well. Considering the wealth of AI IDE integrations, it's very eyebrow-raising that there are zero instances of this. Seems like somewhat low hanging fruit to rule out tokens that ar

If AI could really accelerate or even take over the majority of work on an established codebase, we should be seeing a revolution in FOSS libraries and ecosystems. The gap has been noted many times, but so far all anyone's been able to

Authoritarian has a definition, it's not just "people who make laws that keep me from doing what I want." People in the USA still complain in the same way today about laws mandating seat belt usage, but it's still not au

The pattern in the US seems to be to leave time bombs running that only detonate if you don't get re-elected, something that snap elections wouldn't help with.

Irrelevant in vibe coding. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you don't go looking for extra heads, eyes, fingers, tongues, or tails. You ship it then throw repl.it under the bus when it blows up.
