I guess it's time to consider ditching GitHub. Everything that are purchased by Microsoft ware destined to be rotten.

> The native NVMe driver (nvmedisk.sys) replaces the legacy storage path that has routed NVMe commands through a SCSI translation layer since before NVMe SSDs existed.

What? What are Microsoft doing for a decade after NVMe available to consumer grade motherboard?

So Weave claims AI based development increase git conflict frequency.

Given that most git conflicts are easy to solve by person who didn't involved at changes, even for a person who don't know that programming language, it's natural to let AI handle the git conflicts.

Solving a git conflict is most often a simple text manipulation without needing much of context. I see no problem current AI models can't do it.

It seems to me that this is just an issue of diff features. Git can extended to show semantic diff of binary files and it doesn't technically need a completely new VCS.

As git became the most popular VCS right now and it continues to do so for foreseeable future, I don't think incompatibility with git is a good design choice.

If anyone ever wonder why they don't see productivity improvement, they really need to read Mythical Man-Month.

Garage Duo can out-compete corporate because there is less overhead. But Garage Duo can't possibly output the sheer amount of work matching with corporate.

> In the US, for example, shutdowns would be hard to enforce.

Is that really? US government has tanks, bombers, missiles and tactical nukes while "a well regulated Militia" have petty rifles and motolovs.

It's very easy for US government to cause state-wide power blackout, effectively shutdown Internet.

Is there an online forum like posting a URL to such photos?

In case of Japanese copyright law, that is 著作人格権(moral rights). A right that protect his work isn't used in a way the author don't want it.

It includes right to be not published(like a personal letter intended to be secret), attribution, right to be identical preservation(modifying in a way author don't intended, like adding extra arm to 3-arms monster)

You see, these rights are covered in Creative Commons, by agreeing and publishing his work under Creative Commons, the author explicitly promised he won't use these exclusive rights against the users.

If he didn't agree on the spirit of Creative Commons, why did he contributed Mozilla in CC license for 20 years? Did he intended to taint free software by incompatible non-free work?

This is exactly what happens if you ignore the free software definition explained by RMS.

Because it doesn't.

The Japanese copyright law clearly stated decades ago and recent US court favors Anthropic on this regard.

If you take somebody's copyrighted writing, analyze it and publish information such as how many words or sentence in it or other information about that copyrighted work, that's not a derivative works of original copyrighted work.

CC only works on things that are copyright protected works. Is ML model binary file a derivative works of the learning source? I don't think so.

Is an ML model binary file created by using copyrighted work as its learning data, a derivative work of the copyrighted work? I don't think so.

There are some discussion if the whole concept of "license" fits under Japanese law. I think it's understood as "a contract to allow the usage of otherwise restricted work by copyright etc under conditions"

But I'm not a lawyer so I don't know and in real business, they casually use the word "license" in Japan. But in my opinion, everything is contract under Japanese law.

It's a disappointing that after decades of free software movement, people can't understand this basic fact about license and the concept of "free".

And the fact 20+ years Mozilla contributor didn't understand it too. You can't restrict the usage to things you don't like it under CC.

Once your work is published under Creative Commons license, it is irreversible. No matter you have a copyright or not. You can't undo it the fact at one point you published your work in one of Creative Commons license(there are multiple incompatible Creative Commons licenses so it's bit complicated).

You can make updated version of your work to non-CC, but the version you published under CC is CC.

Exactly, this is just a 面子(face) problem.

Also, his demanding of not using his work for AI training is nonsense. Because entire articles, this one included is published under a Creative Commons license.

Didn't he agree on that?

Mozilla must reject his further contribution because he stated he don't understand the term of Creative Commons license. His wish granted I guess.

When the machine automation quality became okay enough, this conflict of interest happens.

His demand of not using his existing work for AI training is nonsense. Because the entire article is stated:

Didn't he agree on that?

So, this contributor revealed he doesn't understand the license his work is published under. As such, Mozilla must refuse his contribution because he don't understand the idea behind Creative Commons license. His wish granted I guess.
