Thanks for the note on Ditaa. I didn’t know it existed but I love the idea of rendering bitmaps from ASCII, especially on the web. It’s like Mermaid but the original syntax is a diagram in and of itself!

Like the author writes:

There is a number of formats that are text-based (html, docbook, LaTeX, programming language comments), but when rendered by other software (browsers, interpreters, the javadoc tool etc), they can contain images as part of their content. If ditaa was intergrated with those tools (and I’m planning to do the javadoc bit myself soon), then you would have readable/editable diagrams within the text format itself, something that would make things much easier. ditaa syntax can currently be embedded to HTML.

Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for the link.

When you say you host it live on Codeberg, do you mean something akin to GitHub pages? I didn’t know that existed

I prefer Syncthing-fork for some more straightforward configuration. Mainly the three button options equating to “follow the run conditions, damnit”, “run damnit”, and “stop damnit”

If you want a device to do NFC payments you’ll need to look somewhere other than GrapheneOS. (Believe me, I’ve tried everything)

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/475-wallet-google-pay

Even faster – tailscale. For a cheeky way to play with your friends make a burner account with a shared login to get on the same tailnet for free. On the endpoints, turn off tailscale-ssh and any of their other “features” you don’t need.

GrapheneOS! I’ve been using it for a few years. Never going back.

Is this some Network Allowed problem that I’m too Network Not Allowed to understand?

Second this ^

I have one and it’s fine, but not directly supported by OpenWRT. Looks like Beryl and Slate are though

Please don’t assume anything, it’s not healthy.

Explicitly stating assumptions is necessary for good communication. That’s why we do it in research. :)

it depends on the license of that binary

It doesn’t, actually. A binary alone, by definition, is not open source as the binary is the product of the source, much like a model is the product of training and refinement processes.

You can’t just automatically consider something open source

On this we agree :) which is why saying a model is open source or slapping a license on it doesn’t make it open source.

the main point is that you can put closed source license on a model trained from open source data

1. Actually the ability to legally produce closed source material depends heavily on how the data is licensed in that case
2. This is not the main point, at all. This discussion is regarding models that are released under an open source license. My argument is that they cannot be truly open source on their own.

Quite aggressive there friend. No need for that.

You have a point that intensive and costly training process plays a factor in the usefulness of a truly open source gigantic model. I’ll assume here that you’re referring to the likes of Llama3.1’s heavy variant or a similarly large LLM. Note that I wasn’t referring to gigantic LLMs specifically when referring to “models”. It is a very broad category.

However, that doesn’t change the definition of open source.

If I have an SDK to interact with a binary and “use it as [I] please” does that mean the binary is then open source because I can interact with it and integrate it into other systems and publish those if I wish? :)

Do you plan to sue the provider of your “open source” model? If so, would the goal be to force the provider to be in full compliance with the license (access to their source code and training set)? Would the goal be to force them to change the license to something they comply with?

You would be obligated, if your goal were to be complying with the spirit and description of open source (and sleeping well at night, in my opinion).

Do you have the source code and full data set used to train the “open source” model you’re referring to?

My point precisely :)

A pre-trained model alone can’t really be open source. Without the source code and full data set used to generate it, a model alone is analogous to a binary.

If I license a binary as open source does that make it open source?

What makes it open source?

Excellent notes. If I could add anything it would be on number 4 – just. add. imagery. For the love of your chosen deity, learn the shortcut for a screenshot on your OS. Use it like it’s astro glide and you’re trying to get a Cadillac into a dog house.

The little red circles or arrows you add in your chosen editing software will do more to convey a point than writing a paragraph on how to get to the right menu.

Excellent distinction! That makes a lot of sense, thank you

Hm… if I’m reading the README correctly this is a LAN only drop mechanism between a phone and a laptop. Syncthing does that already, albeit with a cumbersome number of features and config for that use case. If that’s not accurate I’m sure you’ll let me know :)

I would love to see this develop an airdrop-esque Bluetooth / PAN phone to phone feature though! Especially if a compatible iOS app were available that would be really slick.
