  • Recommend me a Python book for absolute beginners

    Jump

  • Second the Automate The Boring Stuff recommendation, especially if you're looking for a physical gift (or free online as mentioned)

    Id also just in general recommend CS50-python as a free course for python. Engaging lectures, problem sets you can check your solutions, and you finish with a project of your own choosing. No programming background is needed. Don't buy a verified certificate, the whole course is free along with a free certificate

  • OSS Read-it-Later service Omnivore sells out to AI startup ElevenLabs

  • Apparently, the mods at Linuxsucks are really sensitive?

  • OSS Read-it-Later service Omnivore sells out to AI startup ElevenLabs

    Jump

  • So are they somehow able to relicense by buying off the contributors? Or does Eleven Labs intend to host/use something under AGPLv3? Just trying to figure out what their plan is and how they're dealing with it being open source

  • The Open Source Initiative Announces the Release of the Industry’s First Open Source AI Definition

  • Right, the other thing i considered is that you could just create a company and "buy" the data from them for a ridiculous amount of money and then you have less requirement to detail the data. Similarly you could deem the data unsharable and fudge the provenance.

    Like locks, it will only keep honest people honest.

  • the actual license text part being questioned .

    Data Information: Sufficiently detailed information about the data used to train the system so that a skilled person can build a substantially equivalent system. Data Information shall be made available under OSI-approved terms.

    In particular, this must include: (1) the complete description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data, disclosing the provenance of the data, its scope and characteristics, how the data was obtained and selected, the labeling procedures, and data processing and filtering methodologies; (2) a listing of all publicly available training data and where to obtain it; and (3) a listing of all training data obtainable from third parties and where to obtain it, including for fee.

    (The rest of the license goes on to talk about weights, etc).

    I agree with you somewhat. I'm glad that each source does need to be listed and described. I'm less thrilled to see "unshareable" data and data that cost $ in there since i think these have potential to effectively make a model not able to be retrained by a "skilled person".

    It's a cheap way to make an AI license without making all the training data open source (and dodging the legalities of that).

  • Looking for a python friendly cloud-based notes app.

  • +1 for gitlab. You can programmatically generate a csv file that can be used to generate issue(s) which support markdown format. Then your checklists could be issues and marked as completed when done.

    You could also for instance set up a weekly pipeline schedule to generate issue(s) from the csv if some of the issues are needed on an interval.

    If gitlab isn't an option then id still look into generating the .md files this way and finding a home for the .md files that works for your user(s)

  • draw.io no longer open source since August 27, 2024

  • Appreciate it, i wasn't familiar with the project and didn't see that!

  • I don't see a CLA so this is somewhat surprising that all ~30 contributors would be okay moving away from open source.

    Unless this was a unilateral decision

  • WinAmp's Open Source Story Is Over

    Jump

  • And it makes no mention that they were modifying and using GPL code prior to making their code "open source".

    Id argue that this story is not over until the GPL code can be confirmed removed by a third party

  • Reading the sidebars, this is android news for developers, and the one you linked is more generalized.

    Beyond that, servers have different compositions so discussions can vary, and funneling everyone into single communities just leads to risk of reddit-style mod/admin abuse.

  • Git grumpy: Torvalds complains of passive voice in merge commit messages

    Jump

  • There are much smaller projects that ask for more from commits/merge messages. This is a normal ask

  • I want to share my recent terrible experience with NJALLA

    Jump

  • Wait, if they suspended your domain, can you even transfer it away? if not, that's really fucking scary.

    Njalla takes ownership of every domain purchased on their platform. They do let you transfer domains to another registrar where you could be the owner if your account is in good standing but seems like that may not be the case here (since account suspended)

    That may be great for some domain use cases but for most stuff it would be better to have your name on the domain registration

  • Python in Excel – Available Now

    Jump

  • Right. VBA or this may not be the best tools for the job but when IT restricts what can be used then VBA or excel python could be great examples of Shadow IT.

  • Oracle urged again to surrender JavaScript trademark

    Jump

  • The article mentions that the letter indicated intent to petition with the USPTO to cancel the Javascript trademark due to abandonment. Hopefully that is successful since that seems to be the best outcome short of Oracle willingly forfeiting it.

    Do You Still Use Git in the Terminal?

    Jump

  • I use my IDE for basic things, but anything more involved i use git directly. It's really not as intimidating as it's made out to be. I'm no expert by any means but i know enough to get around and read the docs when i need help
