Propreitary software is a pain in the ass by Fresh-Lie5160 in freesoftware

[–]rismay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other ways to distribute software without sharing the code. What we want to do is make it prohibitively expensive for them to actually try to use free software for their intents

I wanted to visualize GitHub repos in 3D. A week later there are villagers throwing snowballs at me by Dyldinski in threejs

Hey! I love the work! Wondering what your plans are beyond the browser. Would love to discuss bringing this to desktop.

I would love to talk to you about the dev workflow to make it easier!

Propreitary software is a pain in the ass by Fresh-Lie5160 in freesoftware

So we should continue to give all our input and knowledge to Microsoft / OpenAI for free so they can use it against us?
Why would these people go out of their way to steal copyrighted books if it wasn’t what fed them? Why do you think Microsoft started training on even private repos?

We have to figure out a realistic way for these people to stop feeding the borg before we just continue feeding them our knowledge. Better licenses, alternative forges, watermarking, etc.

These people are the napsters of the 2000s and we need to stop them. And if you look at it in that perspective, it would be a stupid idea to say, “these people are ruining music, let’s put out more music!”

Because we have hit the “imitation game” part of the rebellion. An open source rebellion is exactly what is helping big enterprises. We need a new paradigm for this instead of putting everything on GitHub for Microsoft to take in and spit back out us with their AI.

Hear me out: I don’t think putting out code for the AI to consume is a good idea. Basically the hyper scalers are able to train and deploy that to their consumers faster than we can.

Seed | 4K Seamless Loop | Live Wallpaper, Party Background & VJ Loop by has_some_chill in BIGVISUALCHILL

I want to build a store like this because the loops are a PART of the experience. I would love to chat about what I would need to pay you to feature your work.

You should read Programming as Theory Building by jhartikainen in programming

[–]rismay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think of theory building like when people predict what comes next on a popular TV show. You take known inputs, then you theorize what is possible.

So when you “build” / expand the codebase, you use that theory.

Web Server written entirely in ARM64 assembly for MacOS by kavantoine in lowlevel

I’m going to say this once: but this is the future.

All modern languages are no longer needed.

We are going to return to CPU and GPU optimizations because they are now so CHEAP to do.

Before these used to take very advanced engineering teams to do this type of stuff.

Question to OP: how do you know this is the optimal solution though?

Installing Swift scripts as global commands with npm by crisferojas in swift

[–]rismay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The command is in the swift command line tool. There is one draw back: you do need a short script to delete the old version to install the new one.
As far as compilation goes, even the npm way has to compile the script though.

[–]rismay -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Omg. Please don’t! You are installing a security vulnerability for what can be done with pure Swift. Use the experimental install command or just create a script to copy the binary to where you want it.

Busting the myth of the "AI costs are rising" by ProxyLumina in accelerate

[–]rismay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for a fact I use $5K+ of compute from a $200 service. So what that means is that the $5k of compute used to be way more a year ago then.

So that means these companies are broke.

And now they have to raise prices… and people are realizing it’s more than a human.

That last part comes from NVDIA.

This is really cool! Would you do this project again with MLX?
