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 sc…

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 to…

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-publi…

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…

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, bo…

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…

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 somethin…

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…

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 l…

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 …
