I do the same for translated code. It's not creative work which is a prerequisite for being copyrightable.

And avoid relying on direct LLM output for actual work to make sure I don't accidentally include some regurgitated snippet from an incompatible license.

It helps that LLMs struggle to write good, idiomatic code in my language of choice.

The era of LLMs is similar to when Magic was discovered in the 1400s.

The layperson may be able to get ahold of a spellbook, but without Understanding it comes with high risk of turning your niece into a frog.

Whereas Wizards can cast increasingly powerful spells that build on each other, and make Art.

They may be thinking of Google's coarse location feature where the handset checks SSIDs in the proximity against Googles database for fast lookup.

I wish NATO would step in and annex the Russian region between Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It could become a new country rebuilt from modern standards. And permanently cuts Russian supply lines to the middle east.

Losing territory is the only thing Putin will see as a loss. That would force him to admit failure.

The GPL isn't strict enough now that everyone has a copyright laundering machine at their disposal.

I've been experimenting with adding a "translation" clause in accordance with the GPL paragraph 7, where if by means of automatically translating the project to a different language (by transpiling or machine learning) the license is retained, but not necessarily the copyright.

So far I'm not happy with the results by Claude and ChatGPT. Probably I should talk to a lawyer.

The GPLv3 was largely invented to prevent tivoization, we need GPLv4 now to prevent copyright laundering.

It seems your previous submissions were flagged, likely because you're posting from a brand new account with no karma.

I vouched this post which makes it possible to comment. Probably you can reach out to hn@ycombinator.com to lift the auto-flagging mechanism.

I'm no physicist, this is just how I understood this thread; but AIUI it's better to think of the neutrino being in all three eigenstates simultaneously, and if any of the three "bump into something" then it collapses to just the one flavor.

And a nuance that is easily lost: the different neutrino eigenstates/flavors travel at different velocities, because they have different mass, so the probability of detecting one flavor depends on the distance travelled.

Essentially each neutrino travels in three different "waves", but is still one unit in a constant superposition between the three.

Just to clarify: the NVIDIA driver is not in-tree, and probably never will be.

Intel and AMD are, but require proprietary firmware to work, so the freedom aspect is disputed.

I think part of the problem was a lack of follow-up. Each of the issues raised in the article should have been discussed and voted on nationally, Switzerland style, instead of bubbling up to people in funny wigs only when the problem is too large to ignore.

But then Switzerland is surrounded by progressive governments instead of inbreeding on a small island, which could influence decision-making.
