If you leak it, leak it everywhere!

IIRC he tried to find people he could trust to redact in a way that would protect US national security interests.

And yet he still gets straight up accused of being a Russian asset. It seems nuance is beyond the grasp of a surprisingly large percentage of the population.

(although of late my surprise is decreasing).

I think I'm starting to forget, but could someone maybe tell me what the F in FOSS stands for?

"We encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can. ... So if you are redistributing copies of free software, you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money. Redistributing free software is a good and legitimate activity; if you do it, you might as well make a profit from it. ... Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise funds for development. Don't waste it!" https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

Indeed! While reading the original post, I was reminded of the old essays where RMS made it abundantly clear that charging for delivery media was absolutely ok - and if you wanted GNU updates, you should send in the stamps necessary to send them back to you.

Maintaining a popular registry is very hard work, hard enough that commercial entities would rather pay than having to do it themselves. It is literally SaaS. It could absolutely be monetized for the common good - although the gamification worry is real, and the governance would be really difficult to defend from sharks. But there might be clever ways to fix those issues.

The one thing you cannot fix is the cross-planet level playing field that registries provide. Today, a small African company can pull from a registry more or less in the same way as large US corporations. If you put a toll booth up, the toll will soon be too high for people in various parts of the world.

"Free as in speech, not free as in beer."

I'm not reading an AI slop article, but there's nothing in either the Free Software Definition or the Open Source Definition restricting the selling of software. It does prevent you from restricting people from sharing that software once they've bought it, but you could always use a threshold pledge system to ensure you get enough money before releasing anything:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_pledge_system

Not the same at all. Free as in beer means you get nothing. Free as in speech allows you to get as much money as you can using a threshold pledge system. This isn't just theoretical: the famous 3D modelling software Blender was released this way, becoming Free Software only after a €100,000 payment.

Sorry, I phrased it badly. I meant that in practice free-as-in-speech implies free-as-in-beer for copies: once anyone can redistribute the code.

it's inverted asterisk. https://jmgbb.com/i/i4kTG25WrF

Volkswagen Polo I. It even does have some lights.

do not get the funny part of the pythons string.

Finally, this page has some information that's actually useful in real life.

Hmm, that's pretty strange how it came with gpl license.

It's derived from Jedi Academy's source code which is licensed under GPL.

Indeed, I don't think that a decompilation is clearly licensable like that..

Why? Nominally an anti TiVo clause is attractive for a community server, no?

Never seen GPL disclosed with a BIG logo before (it's a good logo!)

without the full info hash it's practically useless

Without the full info hash, they can probably keep lawyers away. Unlike BTDigg. You are one step away from the hash anyway, there are other online and offline databases.

You are correct, not becoming a direct target of lawyers is the intent. I think it's already slightly risky to publish this, but potentially becoming a direct distribution avenue is a lot riskier than this. I wouldn't dare to even reply here if I didn't hide the last part of the info hash.

someone needs to take care of the snares

If you are committed the model should work about the same on any type of one shot sample. The code is public and documented so if you have the snare collection and a macbook you could probably point claude/chatgpt at it and it would be able to train on your laptop.

So you came up with a pretty niche example where the LLM sucks, but otary solves it in just a few lines, and that’s the library’s whole selling point? Nice.
