This begs an importent question: how? How do you filter without putting up barriers that high quality contributors will not want to climb? I ask both as a maintainer who has been overwhelmed and as someone who declines to participate in co

Yeah, no one actually agrees to all of the individual terms in EULAs. That’s the first sign that the law will be nearly useless to address any aspect of these problems. It is already one-sided, and that side is not a friend to the consume

Why do we think that only “good guys” are training LLMs? I imagine organized crime is getting in on the game too.

I would think that residential proxying would be illegal already, as it is a network intrusion. The trick is chasing down the offenders, proving their actions did harm, and getting them to pay. None of those steps are easy, even if there a

Not just the spirit. GPL requires build scripts along with the code.

Over the years, I have tried to make that solution work, but it never ever went smoothly. Maybe it’s time to try it again, but it’s an arms race from what I remember. Apple just keeps changing things; if you’re on the latest iOS version, it

Because they provide a platform. Platforms are not normal products. Once a product becomes a platform, the rules should change to force interoperability. This should be true no matter the product or technology.

I love HN. Read an article that raises a reasonable point about a project’s license, and that project’s author shows up to announce they were convinced and changed the license accordingly. Repo was updated 5 minutes ago. It’s things like

Mega-kudos to the author for chipping away at the wall around Apple’s garden. I have had a iPhone for 15 years, and I have only ever been able to back it up with iTunes on windows (as I will never buy a Mac). Apple’s refusal to provide inte

I suspect their experienced senior engineers that actually knew the products have left, and they cannot attract talent like they once did.

Enshitification may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to their bottom line for a few quarters… right up until all of the good will has been extracted from the brand. Short-sightedness makes logical sense as a tactic for giving the a

Guarantees that are completely worthless, because these companies will simply pay the fine for breaking their word. There need to be second order consequences to those who delegate their responsibility to companies that behave like this. T

Most regulations provide a grandfather clause that exempt existing players in the game.

I have wondered about this. Can’t you ask the AI to find the patterns than need abstracting?

I am increasingly disappointed by how sci-fi dystopias are moving from implausibility to inevitabilities.

If anything this will embolden others to continue to pursue strategies of “do harm and pay the fine.” It is simply a cost for these sociopaths doing business, and our government has explicitly endorsed that status quo for decades.

Yes. This has been demonstrated as a viable strategy more times than I can count.

Is anyone the slightest bit surprised? Our courts are no longer effective at bringing justice. They only have the law, and the law flagrantly favors the rich and their pet corporations.

In theory, true. In practice, state independence has been dead for the better part of a century. The 10th amendment has been eviscerated by the courts. By a strict reading of its relatively simple language, most of what the federal govern
