You saying they might have an unexpected dangling pointer?

Ok now we know why their alignment team quit.

I got curious. It’s at least partially the government regulation thing. They’ve been working on standards that get inforced soon around data privacy and updates to software. So they can roll their own Chinese version of the software with in-country servers, privacy compliance, surveillance compliance, etc. or pay Baidu/Tencent.

This coincides with Kia/Hyundai announcing the same thing. Either they need Baidu tech to compete with BYD in the Chinese market because it’s just that good or locally desirable. Or the countries regulators require it. Given they all announced this at the auto show at the same time, seems too coordinated for competing car companies.

Wow that’s literally the whole article in the headline.

I read that as missiles. Like WTF Florida!?! It’s still WTF, but not missle striking an elementary.

For some reason the Rod Stewart cover band and the generic lyrics drive me insane. When I try to think of the worst song I’ve heard it’s down to the clown sex song on Reddit a couple years ago, and motherfucking faith of the heart.

By loading a web framework with all the other thousands of lines of code.

I think we’re in violent agreement. The problem is you need someone in licensing/legal to take a risk at this point to even use AGPL on a corp machine. Figure out the law and the license, then make judgement calls on some slightly fuzzy parts. They’re just not going to do it. Maybe in a few years if someone tests “the right” model, whatever that is in court and prevails. Meaning the dev gets paid and the user retains intellectual property that is either tangential to the product or provides enough value to be it’s own product that’s still sellable in the same way as before the suit.

Unless it’s open source and you have any contributions without a rug pull contributor agreement. Also you don’t have any AGPL dependencies.

We had that relicense convo with the desktop tool maker and they were hogtied by both. Corporate policy dudes had to be harassed into even looking into it. Then maybe 3 months of back and forth championed by motivated tool users later they said to hell with it and banned it.

So if you plan for the AGPL rug pull for your contributors or you have no contributors and none of your dependencies are AGPL in a viral way, go ahead.

They might hope to make money at any point in the future. AGPL is too viral to integrate with. Working at a large corporation they’ve banned a standalone desktop tool we could have used because it was AGPL. We wanted to pay for it, but we couldn’t. It’s a dead end product for corporate users. So personal use , hobbyists, and those companies that think the AGPL won’t infect their IP or don’t care. You limit your TAM severely if you use AGPL.

So if you aren’t in it to ever make money in the future, go for it.

Daemon and Freedom™ by Daniel Suarez is sort of in this ballpark. Also Kill Decision by him is maybe a bit closer to the movie you saw.

This has happened like 100 times. Self loathing gay conservatives are the most anti-gay of them all.

Staring at the shaker nodding your head. When they pour, get eye level with the bar and follow the drink level up with your whole head. Make a whistle increasing in pitch as you do this. Pretend to eat the bar like an ear of corn when you get to mouth level. Take the drink in both hands at eye level when leaving the bar. Say “you too” as you depart as if incorrectly responding to “enjoy your drink” even though they didn’t even say that.
