Stolen? It was forked as is allowed by the MIT license. With GPL as well there is no „you cannot fork” rule, you can do exactly the same thing. The author misunderstood that „you have to push the changes to upstream”, which is not in any of those licenses.

I’ve looked at the sources of this paper, and it looks like the grams of CO2 per email are taken out of the ass, as it’s just a random value in „SAMRIDDHI Volume 15, Issue 1, 2023 Print ISSN: 2229-7111 Online ISSN: 2454-5767 Survey on Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through Email Conversion”

Counter-counter point: people don’t get a Mac or windows laptop to learn about osx or windows. They generally want to run software or at least browser to do what they need to do.

Uh, memory metrics in Linux are a pain. The only tool that reports most cached as available is htop. free, top and a lot of other software (like node_exporter) will report that a lot of cached memory is not available.

To OP: don’t worry, a lot of Linux tools are smart enough to give back memory if memory pressure rises.

Microsoft is big tech, and GitHub is owned by y Microsoft.

This. Well put.

…and then you learn that packageX v1 is not maintained anymore and relies through a deep set of dependencies on a seriously vulnerable package (in a version which is also not maintained anymore).

Sorry, I had a pretty eventful December :)

My take is that it’s already your systems feature, rather than admins responsibility. If you treat departments like customers, you’d find a good way to spread the costs. If something is just a „common infrastructure”, you will always find something that makes costs that doesn’t have an easy way to track who triggered that - because you don’t pass enough information with it.

Not sure what is hard in it - you need consistent tagging, and that by itself gives you a lot of mileage in cost explorer.

This is not an unusual comment section on Phoronix, to put it mildly.

Walk without a rhytm, and you won’t attract the worm!

I’ve read his book a few years ago, and he was pretty bullish on risky investments, so…

First Diablo 4 and now this… Horrible company.

Lots of hardware lies about its useful capabilities.

Can you run 4k? Of course. But can you run more than 4 frames a second?

Both are valid (if you’d add seconds) in both RFC 3339 and ISO 8601, but timezone support is the same here and there…

Yeah, and the same thing would happen if e.g. PII or HIPAA related would end up in trained model. The fact that some PII or health data ended up being publicly available, doesn’t mean that automatically you can process or store such data, and train on such data.

If you do stuff, earn from it, and ignore parties and their rights, you are forced to compensate. I guess it will be peanuts though.

The AI companies shown that they are incapable of regulating themselves on this topic, and so people with art at stake should force their hand.

Open source or not doesn’t matter here, what matters is the copyright. If even Disney can defend works they own (whatever their ethics), so should anyone else.

That’s exactly what’s at stake, waiting to be sufficiently litigated. And I hope that creators will win, and that they would be able to tell if they allow richest big tech companies in the world to train on their creations.

It is missing one point: as a creator, I want to be able to forbid you from training on my creations. And the only tool that could enable that is the copyright enforcement over AI training.
