The Public Markets have rules and laws that incentivize very destructive and predatory behaviors. Corporations behave like psychopaths to hit quarterly numbers for 'fiduciary duty' laws.
Private assets don't have these so they can build real companies with an eye on the future.
But private companies don't have nearly as much access to capital because all the investment money goes into retirement because of stupid tax laws which goes into psychopathic public companies.
And then Blackrock / State Street / Vanguard collude to tell these companies how to behave socially and politically, often against the interests of everyone else in society.
Of course this could be done poorly but the idea has merit. Congress is most likely to screw it up, but who knows, maybe they won't.
That's peak optimism for 2026.
This is a weird situation.
If the license is changed it's no longer AGPL, it's a unique license.
If the license has restrictions then the copyright is violated by not adhering to the license.
The above makes it sound like both parties want to have it both ways.
I would just give the Russians proper attribution but the European governments hate Russia so much that they couldn't possibly do that. This is a problem with having governments run open source projects.
In the en it's probably going to be like Russian gas which they sanction except for not freezing to death in the winter, when they just look the other way and stay alive to hate the Russians another day.
The whole damn thing stems from some royal cousins hating each other in the 1830's. America was designed to "eff that noise" but every stupid American politician wants to act like a European so Americans get dragged into their stupid wars and other zero-sum games.
Open Source software is supposed to be a non-zero-sum game and the licenses are supposed to create the conditions for that. Maybe FSF should consider a v4 to improve the situation. Anybody seen Eben Moglen lately? Last I heard some whackadoodles at FSF were mad at him. Maybe a post-FSF license is needed.
"Play nice, children."
Oh, I can understand the private credit markets. I just donâ(TM)t think theyâ(TM)re a good investment. same with bitcoin.
If that trend continues at pace you are out of a job in three years.
Your logic is weak. AI has not shown any real improvements since it was released onto the public. They are dialing in the exact weights and such needed to maintain "accuracy", but there will be no further improvements on the current technology that will lead to future breakthroughs. LLMs are a thing, and MIGHT be part of a future very capable AI; however, LLMs will NEVER be AGI regardless of what is done with them.
One wonders what other skills will atrophy due to AI reliance.
No wondering is necessary. AI reliance will absolutely kill off any remaining critical thoughts/thinking you may have. Reality is going to be absolutely and completely miserable for humanity from here on out. Your life will be miserable, but you will be unable to figure out why... just asking yourself over and over, "why are things like this?", but being unable to come up with an answer.
Hey, wait a minute, we are already like that without AI.
NO MORE WOOL!
So, no, this cluster of patches doesn't tell us anything in particular beyond what we already knew: That emergency patches are relatively common.
Considering that Microsoft has been promising this exact same type of improvement since the release of XP Service Pack 3, the words spoken now are worthless platitudes provided to ensure the smoothness of the theft of your money. There is zero reality behind any of their promises.
Adapt. Enjoy. Survive.
