I don't work in prompt engineering but my partner does and she tells me numerous need for agents in cases where you want some technology which goes and seeks things on the live web and then comes back and you want to make sense of that found data with the LLM and pre-written prompts where you use that data as variables, and then possibly go back into the web if the task remains unsolved.

If anyone paying the right price to access a product, and no underlying technology, making it "open", isn't most of the world's technology open? Isn't Apple really OpenApple? Isn't Oracle really OpenOracle? Apple probably puts out more open-source tech than OpenAI.

Does the word mean much anymore, then? Is it nothing more than a sentiment then?

Perhaps OpenAI should have renamed itself to "AI for all" or something when they adopted the capped-profit model. Perhaps they should've returned donor funds and turned fully for-profit too. Perhaps that was a genuine resolution and pivot, which every org should be able to allowed to do.

Genuine question, I run a nonprofit whose name starts with "open". But we do explicitly bring closed source work to be more openly licensed, without necessarily making the technology open-source.

Can we stop putting any of these product ideas on pedestals, as if they were acts of technological genius? They are all incremental interesting improvements, often thought of around the same years with unique insights, but not some revolutionary inventions no one has tried to build before. They are what they are because of their execution.

Ubuntu 21.04 5 years ago

I have been following the Ubuntu homepage for about 15 years, and it's so interesting how they went from prominently promoting every CTA around downloading the desktop version, to now, where I had to spend 5 minutes trying to find a link on their site to the ubuntu.com/desktop site.

Thanks, dylz. I think I am not interested in high-performance graphics, so I am not sure I am fond of working only with the <canvas>, even with these abstracted game engines.

I might just sit for a day to write beautiful CSS and use animeJS or something like that to go back to DOM approach of doing this.

Look at EngageNY curriculum (which is really EL Education, Public Consulting Group, Eureka Math, Illustrative Math and a couple of other providers put together). It is pretty excellent, and free! You can also find curriculum from these individual providers separately.

Then, visit OpenUpResources. Same theme.

EdReports.org has curriculum reviewed to align with Common Core.

The above are mostly limited to ELA and Math, for Science, there is OpenSciEd, SCALE/SFUSD Middle School Curriculum, and Mystery Science, for Civics there is Annenberg Classroom, and rest of the social studies, I know some effort is going on, but can't quite remember where the curriculum might be.

The reason I know these is because I run opencurriculum.org (YC W14), and we are trying to bring this information under one roof.

Good point. What if you have two models:

- One: the model you have right now. this is for organizations where the value outweighs the price tag.

- Two: Smaller organizations are generally also more willing to compromise on JS/asset bundling and performance. Why don't you give them: - a hosted JS solution where they just have to include a <script /> tag - An uglified script. I'd argue most JS developers can't unscramble these - you keep counters on number of requests - you disqualify (using some basic hashing method) run-ability of PDFJS Express based on the time the script was requested OR if an acknowledgement from a server fails. So say, if someone is using a cached version, the script will either not run at a certain point OR all the documents will be watermarked with "TRIAL".

This second way could also be the best way for getting people started immediately. Include a tag, see a watermark, but you are ready to go.
