You'd have to first discover that they used it, then show that whatever code they implemented was based on yours I would think.

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."
The billionaires are probably telling him but he's a dementia-ridden lunatic so it's not helping.
As a non-programmer and non-expert in AI, how bad is this for Anthropic? By client-side they mean this is the source code to what people download anyway? This has nothing to do with the server-side stuff accessed by the Claude chat interface?
That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.
Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.
For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.
Then they should have used Tcl.
"As for why OnlyOffice was chosen over LibreOffice, the project simply said: "We believe open source is about collaboration, and we look for opportunities to integrate and collaborate with the LibreOffice community and companies like Collabora.""
Ok, since they just refuse to answer the question, does anyone else know why OnlyOffice was chosen over LibreOffice?
Currently retirement accounts enjoy heightened protections typically -- managers are supposed to be fiduciaries, which means they need to prioritize the interests of the investor over their own interests, and are more liable if they fail to do so.
Your comment has nothing to do with the fact that mass is explicitly part of the source term in Einstein's field equations.
The belief that mass is not a source term for gravity is absurd, and also non-physical.
Yeah, and even native stuff is super bloated now.
I noticed an instance of Brave with all of the features turned off sitting at a new tab page was using 230MB.
I remember doing OK with a version of Firefox that supported xhtml and JavaScript 2 that ran on a machine with 16MB of RAM total.
And the current browsing experience isn't somehow instantaneous on a CPU with 16x the cores running at 10x the clock. The user response time is about the same.
I think that browser itself ran in 4-8MB. Probably with the Flash plugin loaded too.
FWIW that old machine would take about 15 minutes to encode a 3 minute mp3 file and my current machines does it in about six seconds. So the hardware gains are real.
Maybe ML will actually be able to find some optimizations that are too cumbersome for humans to manage.
Even if you don't completely buy Weir's science, he gets into imagining what chemistry and physics apply to varies scenes.
Maybe in the book. In the movie there is no science.
Although I don't think I can come up with ANY plausible explanation for the magical bugs.
You people have gone insane.
Stop trying to control every atom of existence and every move people make.
You're sick in the head, not visionaries, not thought leaders.
Go plant a garden and get back in touch with the real world.
No, NOT FARMVILLE!
There is no mass term in the stress-energy tensor
There most certainly is. Density-- mass per unit volume-- is the (0,0) term of the stress-energy tensor.
Energy density, yes.
Which is also mass density. Multiply by c to keep the units straight. (If you're a physicist, you just set c=1, and the units don't matter.)
I guarantee, if you have a mass density of M kg/m3 and you put it in Einstein's field equations, you get gravitation.
> genuine question - why was this code pushed now
Zuckerberg has aggressively been bribing politicians to enact this at the State level.
Several news stories about it though you have to search for terms like 'lobbying' and 'Meta' as fig leaves.
