I love open source.
On a related note, open source projects that get big without a reliable leadership organizational structure risk burning down just as easily.
Recently nix, wordpress, and gaggiuino were affected by this kind of thing. Nix seems to be recovering. Wordpress doesn’t look good. Gaggiuino skipped right over source-available and went closed-source.
Linux is a success story with this structure, but I think we need to be better about building projects with stability in mind.
different service ;)
They’re funded by a parent organization with a crypto coin, and they explicitly state hosting AI models as one of their main goals. No thanks.
glances over at HP laptop I requested a replacement for 6 months ago because it overheats if I have a video call on and a spreadsheet open
Also, just a sidenote, while AlphaFold2 training data is available for download (unsure if AlphaFold3 will follow suit), the OSI recently released its definition for open source AI models, and there is no requirement that the training data needs to also be open for a model to be considered “open source”, which is extremely disappointing and will degrade the meaning of open source.
I don’t know if DevOps can render them. It certainly can’t on my system. I would recommend not using the remote repository WebUI for that feature.
Jupyter notebooks can totally handled by git! If you use GitHub, it will even render them on the WebUI for you.
I’m almost a year in to a job where I was given this task with no admin access on my local windows machine, with a team that had never used an IDE or git before, and with only Google Drive as my allowed cloud tool. When I got here everything was just a bunch of Jupyter notebooks that would get run in Google Collab that were stored haphazardly over a shared Google Drive.
It’s been a slog, but Python for Windows, VSCode, Git for Windows, and Poetry can all be installed without admin access, and we got limited access to Azure DevOps. I’ve taught my team how to use powershell, git, VSCode, and Poetry, and taught them about testing and documentation (this is a slowwww process). We finally got a desktop computer with admin access this week that we can RDP into (that I requested basically right when I started), so we can run scheduled tasks on Windows and hack together some kind of a CI/CD system. We started a wiki on Azure, have most of our stuff documented and in a well organized monorepo, and track our work in boards now.
Now that other teams are starting to see how we’re doing things, they want in, too. Thank god these people are wonderful and excited to learn because otherwise this would be very frustrating.
The fact that there is overlap has no bearing on whether your definition is common.
That’s nice. If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that’s going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.
On top of that, accepting this bolsters companies to use this kind of a definition specifically to take advantage of the mental model that many people have connecting “open source” with OSI.
Lol what a clusterfuck. These guys are dolts.
When I was working in IT, this would have been a very useful tool for doing some on-site troubleshooting with various tools or for one-off reimaging machines that were missed during a big update or something. Instead, I had a bag of USB sticks with labels on them, which was annoying to use and to maintain.
Pretend there is a comma and maybe an exclamation point like this:
I use justweather, i like its material, you widget!
I’ve had old Ugreen devices with a similar setup. Notably a KVM that fried my keyboard bc they failed to follow USB spec.
A-to-A cables are, in general, a hardware design smell. It’s best to avoid devices that don’t care enough to follow the spec.
That’s been my experience
You can snooze alarms, play/pause/ff/rw media, and mark messages as read
That’s what I use. It’s way more stripped down than a modern smart watch, but it has good battery life, a transflexive LCD, can discretely give me notifications so I can keep my phone on silent, and can show me the weather at a glance.
There are more things it can do, I just find my phone is better for the majority of them.
Architectural blueprints have been explicitly covered by copyright in the US since 1990, but were likely implicitly covered before then.
He could always provide an open-source license before claiming that he is “open sourcing” his designs. You could always check for a license before claiming that something is open-source. Putting the onus on people after the fact to make those previous claims true doesn’t make any sense.
very cool. don’t see a license, though. no open source license => not open source.
Yeah, unfortunately the display/esp32 can now only be purchased pre-flashed from specific retailers (for a significant markup) and the firmware is no longer published anywhere. The only way to update is OTA.
It’s all really shitty. Though, I’ll admit, I really didn’t have high hopes when I found out that they use discord for everything from troubleshooting to documentation to group buys.
I bought the parts to build mine a year ago and never got around to it. I’ll still build it, but it’s sad they are either ripping away all potential future support, are fracturing the community, or both
