Living in China's Shadow: Why China will dwarf the US in under a decade in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm learning it little by little too, but I'm still at the very beginning. I agree It is known for its complexity. And It's quite different at least from European languages. But it's more interesting to study something unusual for you. :)

I hope to have learned Chinese by then, I haven't even learned English completely yet. :)

It's hard to imagine that if you don't live in rather small North Korea, which is heavily sanctioned, that Kim can somehow affect your life...

GRUB is confusing in c/[email protected]

Yes, x86 legacy is really confusing. Especially if you are going to write your own kernel or bootloader.

[Serious] What non-religious video(s) lights a fire under your ass to get shit done? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Maybe one of those videos is "So if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed."(youtube). It's not even a video, but the speech itself. This speech is quite inspirational. And it doesn't even matter who said it. And even usually I don't really like the military.

Maybe simple and easy to use GUI Firewall.

Which currently existing software license do you prefer? And from a Marxist point of view? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks for your answer. You are right, this question is probably too abstract. I usually prefer GPL and AGPL licenses for my small applications. I was mostly wondering if maybe there are lesser-known licenses besides the most well-known free software licenses that would be worth using. Maybe some new licenses that prohibit the training of "AI" on source code or closed-source "AI", for example...

Maybe a naive or silly question, but Which currently existing software license do you prefer? And from a Marxist point of view? Or maybe there is currently no good license from your point of view?

I like that most people become a little kinder at Christmas.

How can I add a simple requirement "do not train Al on the source code of the program" to AGPLv3 or GPLv3 and thereby create a new license? (lemmy.ml)

Don't know is it a good place for such a question but I try :).

Why did I come up with such an stupid idea? There have been reported cases where artificial intelligence such as Github Copilot has been trained on many open source and free software projects, and in some cases it can output code snippets from GPL-licensed projects without specifying it. https://www.pixelstech.net/article/1682104779-GitHub-Copilot-may-generate-code-containing-GPL-code

I am not a lawyer, and I do not know where it is better to insert such a requirement. And how to formulate it in the best and correct form.

I understand it maybe complicated to check, to comply with this requirement and it may cause other difficulties, but I still think it can be a useful addition.

How to fit it with the fundamental freedoms of the GPL or it is unfitable?

I understand that this would make the license non-free, since it puts constraints on what the code can be used for. It's sad that it doesn't combine in some way. Maybe change requirements to do not train "closed source AI"(without code and training data of AI model publicly available).

And how can I name it? Is it better to name it without "GPL" If this new license cannot be considered free? NoAIFL or your variants :)?

Is it good to just add a new item?

For example like this:

Additional Clause:
You may not use the source code of this program, or any part thereof, to train any artificial intelligence model, machine learning model, or similar system without explicit written permission from the copyright holder.

or

Section [X]:
Restrictions on AI Training You may not use the source code of this program, or any part thereof, to train any artificial intelligence model, machine learning model, or similar system without explicit written permission from the copyright holder.

What you think about it? Maybe you already know licenses like this?
