Weird/confusing name, questionable legality and the website went down a while back (while mentioned explicitly in the licence…)

Use CC0 1.0 or Zero Clause BSD instead. They are more reputable, and all decent “public domain equivalent” licences are… well, equivalent in effect, anyway.

CC0 is the one CC licence you can safely use for code, as per the official recommendations. For all other CC licences, it is (strongly) discouraged.

RE: Copyleft

The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn’t have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.

And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text… this is the way to go, IMO.

Some additional remarks, just to clarify:

• Copyleft is not “giving up all copyright” - copyleft essentially “plays” the copyright system in a way that makes sure nobody is restricting access to or usage of one’s work. Using the rules of copyright against copyright, if you will.
• In some jurisdictions, there is no such thing as “giving up all copyright” or “dedicating something to the public domain”. Best you can do, generally, is giving users all the same/relevant rights.
• Most Creative Commons licences are not copyleft, only the ones with a ShareAlike (SA) clause. Some CC licences are also nonfree, meaning they don’t give you all the freedoms to do what you want with the work. The 2 possible nonfree clauses in CC licences are ND (no derivative works) and NC (no commercial use). NC can also be used together with a SA clause, making CC BY-SA (free) and CC BY-NC-SA (nonfree) the two CC copyleft licences.

Diese ganzen Hirnverbrannten in den golem-Kommentaren immer, zu geil. “Also wie in Deutschland” ja Heinz-Dieter, exakt wie in Deutschland. golem.de hat zum Beispiel auch beim Staat nachgefragt, ob du dich registrieren darfst…

It definitely stops anyone who is at least a little bit serious about what they’re doing.

Depends on what I’m making and which ecosystem it will be a part of. For libraries, I use the MIT license most of the time, although I’m probably going to switch to Apache 2.0 for future stuff. It’s a bit more robust and has a helpful licensing framework.

When I make applications (and if possible), I tend to use (A)GPLv3. GPL sometimes doesn’t work though (for example, for my primary language, Clojure). I like the MPL 2.0 as a weak copyleft alternative.

However, recently, I’ve been reconsidering the whole open source/free software ideology, especially the focus on granting unconditional freedoms. I think the view that engineers shouldn’t care what is done with their work is outdated and irresponsible, and it applies to software devs as well. So I’m keeping an eye on the development of alternative source models such as ethical source or licenses like the Anti-Capitalist License.

Bäh.

I don’t know how much time I’ve spent in Minecraft, but it’s probably over 1000 hours.

Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).

I don’t play either of those anymore though.

Irgendwann wird einer von denen eine Gruppe von Aktivisten schwer verletzen oder tot fahren. Und ein signifikanter Teil der Deutschen wird es gutheißen. Derselbe Teil, der besessen von Recht und Ordnung ist.

Being a pirate back in the day was also less pleasant than creative media has led us to believe, I’m afraid

In meiner Schulzeit hat die Bravo schon keinen mehr interessiert, von daher bin ich kein Experte. Aber habt ihr damals 8 Stunden pro Tag darin geblättert?

Diaspora doesn’t use ActivityPub anymore, right? So probably not.

In dem Video geht es auch nur um LLMs bzw den Marketing Hype um “KI”, was dasselbe ist. Es geht um ChatGPT.

Dabei sind die Modelle (vor allem LLMs) bereits heute gut, dass sie bei echten Aufgaben teilweise mit einem Menschen mithalten können.

Hast du das Video überhaupt geschaut? Ein zentraler Punkt des Videos ist doch genau das: für manche Dinge eignet sich diese Art von KI, für sehr vieles aber eben nicht. By design. Es ist absolut relevant, wie diese Modelle funktionieren.

Anders gesagt:

Saying that ChatGPT “can’t yet provide reliably correct answers to questions” is like saying your cat can’t yet provide reliable services as a paralegal. You can’t solve that task mismatch with a better cat

Following Far Cry’s release, Crytek, wanting to show that CryEngine had other applications, signed a deal in July 2004 to develop a gaming franchise with publisher Electronic Arts (EA), a direct competitor to Ubisoft. This franchise became the Crysis series, and through which Crytek continued to improve their CryEngine.
