The reality is that the vast majority of software developers do not consider a strict conformance to the 10 OSI criteria as being necessary to apply the term "open source". Maybe they're all just wrong, but it's worth considering why.

> the vast majority of software developers do not consider a strict conformance to the 10 OSI criteria as being necessary to apply the term "open source" [citation needed] My counter claim, without citation, is that I actually believe (from experience) that the vast majority of 'open source' projects are in fact released under licenses that already comply with the 10 OSI criteria, and are therefore 'approved' OSI lic…

Here is a citation for you. 3/4 of the repos on github use MIT, GPL or Apache.

Done and won. Most open source projects (in 2015) use real open source licenses.

Indeed... MIT, GPL and Apache are all approved OSI licenses and on the list! [0] — Most well known open source licenses are, of course.

Thanks for the citations, appreciated. I was on a mobile device when I made my previous comment, and it would've been fiddly to sort out.

I use scientific language models professionally. I skimmed the paper and was immediately disappointed. - They benchmarked against general models like GPT-3 but not well-established specific models that have been trained for specific tasks like SPECTER[0] or SciBert[1]. Specter outperformed GPT-3 on tasks like citation prediction two years ago. Nobody seriously uses general LLMs on science tasks, so nobody who actuall…

The models are on huggingface now -- https://huggingface.co/models?other=galactica

It is surprisingly good and surprisingly bad at the same time. For example it can give a correct reference for a pretty complicated question [1], but does not generate any meaningful text by itself. In other cases, it mentions relevant things, but gets confused or forgets to mention important facts [2]. Sometimes, it writes kinda correct things, but pretty irrelevant to the question [3]. Other times it generates wiki…

I found more than half of the content of biographical articles was completely, risibly, wrong. Confident and plausible-sounding assertions of birthplace (wrong), websites founded (wrong), etc. Galactica.org seems to have gone inactive now; at the time of writing, the function no longer works:

Question: Why is the metaverse a bad idea? Answer: The metaverse is a bad idea because it is a bad idea.

Looks like a prompt injection attack.

Sounds like we're all the same endlessly reincarnated single person, only at different points in spacetime. Cue one-electron universe: > The one-electron universe postulate, proposed by theoretical physicist John Wheeler in a telephone call to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940, is the hypothesis that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time.…
