Get a ham radio technician license, and you may develop an intuitive perspective on most electrical engineering concepts. i.e. the physics lab derivation of the core EE tool set is unnecessary if you understand what the models are describing. AI is slop in and slop out... and dangerous to students... =3 John Shive's Wave Machines is where every student should start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DovunOxlY1k

dangerous to students It's fatally dangerous to students who ignore it or dismiss it out of hand. That much is already certain.

How so?

I just don't want anyone to copy the content and sell it. It's meant to be freely accessible to everyone.

That's fine. It's just not open source. Don't call it open source if it's not.

Wait and see. You're not paying attention now, but it's not too late to start.

Go to your favorite programming puzzle site and see how you do against the latest models, for instance. If you can beat o1-pro regularly, for instance, then you're right, you have nothing to worry about and can safely disregard it. Same proposition that was offered to John Henry.

Not everyone agrees with this definition. If the source is open to read, for me it's open source. The website you linked is an opinionated view on what open source is.

Not everyone agrees with the OSI definition but I'd say almost noone agrees with that definition there.

I think most people understand what you are describing as "Source Available". Could even be a commercial project.

Thank you for the site.

I've been trying to learn how to customize Linux (e.g. roll my own Linux) for any platform but it takes time to learn since all the information is laid out all over the internet, thus hard to locate. I'm aware of Linux From Scratch project but it is a long read and I find that certain knowledge is assumed (e.g. why build chain is needed), thus not necessarily newbie-friendly. Though I've yet to go through your site, hopefully it will take the newbie inexperience (e.g. electronics knowledge if any) into consideration.

Good luck, SM68

Please reformulate your argument, and I will check back tomorrow:

LLMs are rules based search engines with higher dimension vector spaces encoding related topics. There is nothing intelligent about these algorithms, except the trick ones play on oneself interpreting well structured nonsense.

It is stunting kids development, as students often lack the ability to intuitively reason when they are being misled. "How many R's in 'Strawberry'?" is a classic example exposing the underlying pattern recognition failures. =3
