There seems to be a lot of new accounts with similar name formats contributing short, positive comments to this thread.

I don't understand why this would be an issue. Firstly, you could just pin your dependencies, but even if you don't, couldn't the default behaviour be to just install the newest scanned version?

Really makes me wonder what the angle here is for them. With open source, I can somewhat understand given market standards become easier to hire for and you get feedback on your tooling. It seems unlikely that either will be true for open-w

Proponents of free software would agree. In addition, from the programmer's point of view this is usually how things work (unless they own the startup, the equivalent of self-publishing). And for most products that actively gain new us

In addition, I would argue undecidability is a feature, not a bug. I'm not sure why any other answer would be desired in that case.

I believe the complete opposite - at least for internet commenters, one could easily use an LLM to generate one's responses.

I assumed GP was referring to OpenAI, not danswer (given that they mentioned that those companies were training models). And you're still using OpenAI's API, so neither open source and self hosting affect data collection.

What's wrong with "math can't be made illegal"? I think the context for this argument (that I've heard most often) is around e2e encryption, and in that context I agree with it, both from an enforceability and a mor

Though I never have used Youtube premium, Louis Rossmann talks a lot about this. If I remember correctly it was something about not actually getting a file when downloading, instead having something you're forced to watch in the app an

From the link: 'It was suggested that copyright protection afforded to the computer program may also extend to the output files if the program does the “lion’s share of the work” in creating the output files and the user’s input is “ma

If humans are vertebrates, then some vertebrates are human. It is wholly possible (and indeed true) that a specific subset of vertebrates (those that existed 200 million years ago) and another subset (humans) are disjoint.

What prevents me from cloning some product's website and changing the payment form to send me the details instead, which I then submit somewhere else to purchase something online for myself? Not sure why Stripe or PCI is even important

Which is also incorrect. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_numeral vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_number .

I think the reals are also even: If x is rational pair it as you would in the rational case (which we assume is even - I haven't proven this). Otherwise pair it to -x, and thus the reals are even. Being "even" seems like a mu

Not a lawyer, but I think with libel/defamation, you need to show that you lost something of value because of the statement. Odds are this won't be as widely applicable as something like 'hate speech' (eg. how will you s

From the OP: "I wanted to see how difficult it would be to build a web app using a sub-$300 android smartphone" I guess a fun challenge of sorts.

I assume the origins of how it's called ties to the mathematical definition of open/closed sets ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_set ). In an (imprecise) way, the closed set is a water balloon and the open

Indeed, the ability to 'launder away' proprietary licenses when source is available means that companies in the future (that would otherwise provide source under a non-permissive license) will shift in favour of not providing sour

I'm not sure on your argument. I belive it's rational to make a decision that you would repeat every time you are presented with the decision, no matter if you knew beforehand how much times that decision would be presented to you
