In a team I worked, we had full control over how we wanted to use the board. But the senior people just refused to engage with it, as anything they did on the board would make them accountable.

My lesson: Boards can be awful and useless even without managers running them! :)

I've been using a simple, standalone kanban to manage my own tasks, though.


> or even extramarital sex (whose baby is it?).

This is the weirdest example of "gambling" I have seen in my life. If you'd've written "unprotected sex" I'd see the gambling part, but "extramartial sex" covers so much more than the tiny subset of "whose baby is it" (how many people are there having sex to gamble on who will be the father of a baby? 10?).

This made my day.


If you are arguing that "siding with the others because of rethoric is dangerous", you are right in general. But to a very surprised reader of this thread, you are arguing with someone that responded to

> Anyone deliberately facilitating that certainly deserves the worst fate imaginable.

That came in a thread started with a now (justly) removed

> might wake up to their family chopped to pieces

This sets the tone I (and possibly others) interpret that message.

I know we are supposed to charitably interpret what people write on here, but a thread like this makes it really hard, given the tone.


You're right, I did pick a bad example. It was extreme, and I'm sure many HN users work for corporations like this and felt targeted.

But it's also worth considering exactly what the mass surveillance state we've got is directly leading to - deaths of many people. How many people have been disappeared or killed by ICE because of technology like this? That's just one group actively targeted by surveillance tech, and the government intends to go after millions more, as they've publicly stated. That's not to mention how many millions of people have had their lives worsened or ruined directly or indirectly because of tech like this.

These sorts of things aren't an innocent startup consisting of a few nerds in a garage, they're shaping the world and setting the stage for the expansion of horrible atrocities. This is ultimately what I mean - you have to look at the effects of what they're doing and the actual consequences. Once you see that and know people who are more directly affected/targeted by these technologies, it becomes a lot more clear why people are so angry at them.


> S3 is costly

> run MinIO

When people say "s3", they mean "any s3 compatible storage" in my experience, not "amazon s3 specifically" or just "s3 as a protocol".


Does the protocol have a published specification? Today I learned S3 isn't just the name of a product from AWS.


Sorry, I'm mostly on the "consumer" side, so I never looked into the specification.


> Even if we assume LLMs would consistently generate good enough quality code, code submitted by someone untrusted would still need detailed review for many reasons - so even in that case it would like be faster for the maintainers to just use the tools themselves, rather than reviewing someone else's use of the same tools.

Wouldn't an agent run by a maintainer require the same scrutiny? An agent is imo "someone else" and not a trusted maintainer.


Yes, I agree. It was just me playing with a hypothetical (but in my view not imminent) future where vibe-coding without review would somehow be good enough.


> I can still license that code to a company and ask them to pay me for using the code

I believe you can do that with public domain/copyright free material in general. There is no requirement to tell someone that the material you license them is also available under a different one or that your license is not enforceable.


Depending on how you do it and they find out, you could certainly be sued for fraud and misrepresentation, though. And, if you put a "copyright by me" at the top of a public domain work, it's technically a crime under 17 U.S.C. § 506(c) - Fraudulent Copyright Notice

Reading the title I wondered if this is about more components coming with their own memory, because I've never heard BOM used as a monetary bill.


Would this even work legally?

I remember the case of books used for training, where the court found training to be fair use, but the material has to be legally obtained (=Bought instead of pirated the books).

> and usage on it

What do you mean by "usage on it"?


I think you nailed it here. What you are "licensing" with your license is copyright. But if training is fair use, copyright doesn't apply, so there is no need for a license.


I mean a clause along "don't ever have any LLM read my code" either for training, or for making a vibecoded output.

How does it work legally? IANAL so I have no idea and that's why I'm asking.


It can also be 3 people, as one person can be a father and a son at the same time. If you allow non-mentioned people to be included in the attribute (i.e. the sons of the fathers are not part of the 2) it could also be 2 people, as long as they are fathers.


That's interesting as my first thought reading the comments was "this problem seems very similar to many students writing papers just finding citations that sound correct".

Sometimes it is really sad to read from (even PhD level) students on social media about their paper writing practices.
