It blows my mind that anyone can still be undecided in 2024.

This is why I said anything built on public work, should be public goods as well.

What if I don't want certain people to build on my work, or to constrain the ways in which the build on it? (Non-commercial, share-alike, attribution, etc. clauses) Should I be able to?

That’s not a good comparison. Crypto was a (bad) solution looking for a problem. GenAI already has use-cases.

I didn't mean to compare the technology -- though there are some similar scam vectors, but that's a different conversation.

I meant that there was a strong contingent of crypto fans back then who were saying -- correctly -- that "the mainstream system is corrupt and wields legislation as a weapon against consumers". But their proposed alternative was a system that removed all regulation, including consumer protections.

I worry that there's a trend in tech circles today that echoes that sentiment when it comes to AI.

I'm also rather disappointed that a substantial group of people who I used to assume I was aligned with -- pirates and open-sourcerers -- turned out to only be there for the free shit and not for the ethos.

An ethos which, to me, is something like: everyone has a right to participate in culture and be a part of the conversation, and everyone has a duty to acknowledge the work that enabled their own and do their best to be a good custodian of the upstream works.

Copyright law is broken. But I don't think that means we have no obligations to each other as human beings when we build on each other's work.

We had the same argument during the crypto craze. The financial system is broken, but 10 years later I think we all agree that crypto is pretty clearly not the answer.

You ask someone “How’s life?” they’re likely to say “Alright” or “Not bad”.

You ask “How’s the knee doing?” or “You still saving for that cruise?” and you’ll get a much more detailed answer which may completely contradict the original “Not bad”.

as a renter you aren’t responsible for upkeep/changes to the home

Nobody likes big unexpected costs. That’s why landlords tend to offload the risk to PMCs, warranties, and insurance.

And then your rent pays for the monthly costs of all of that.

There needs to be prison time.

If you can personally cash in today, and leave the consequences for the company to handle 30 years later, there’s a massive incentive to be reckless.

Visual Studio: 😳

How do you send 200x as much data?

You don’t. The external system needs to run an approximation of the internal system, which the internal system will also run and only transmit differences.

There you go. Solved it. (By delegating to a new problem.)

I started on MacVim, so I could just use cmd+q. And by the time I used vim on the terminal I knew all about :commands

Personal use of business assets is generally frowned upon by the IRS.

Can I super-mega-ultra upvote this?

It's the same playbook as ever. Doubt can only be explained by ignorance, failure can only be explained by under-committing,

The only way to have a "valid" opinion is to have already bought-in and be actively selling other people on it. It's the same mentality as a cult or a pyramid scheme.
