I really hate how "LLM output is uncopyrightable" has become a meme. It's a woeful oversimplification. The U.S. copyright office says the necessary human creative effort for copyright can't come from LLM models or prompts, yes. But, they also establish that *in most cases* the model itself and it's outputs are derivative works of each and every piece of training material. That means they are absolutely subject to copyright protections, but based on the will of the right...

Fsck. Using this laptop with netbsd is painful. Multiple keyboard smashes and screams of frustration this morning. Anyway, has anyone got #nvm working on #netbsd ? It _seems_ to be installed. But, when I attempt to pull down the latest stable node.js with `nvm install stable`, it fails: WARNING: C++ compiler (CXX=g++, 12.5.0) too old, need g++ 13.2.0 or clang++ 19.1.0 WARNING: cargo not found!

@jnkrtech How "wild"? I've got some non-uniform recursion in an Idris library I recently published. https://stefan-hoeck.github.io/idris2-pack-db/docs/type-aligned/docs/docs/TypeAligned.src.html#line270 I've also got recursion across multiple types (merged into a single indexed family) "fully" generalized in the Haskell version of another published Idris library (the Haskell version is not published). https://gitlab.com/bss03/nested/-/blob/31f74ced9067ff04b80fbe22a...

@GoodAaron Most of the time I'm fine, but last week I got out of bed too quickly and my neck was sore for 2 days.

Hot take: Gas, particularly in USA, should be **much** higher priced, in order to pay for government programs to offset the damage burning it does to the environment and to pay citizens/workers to encourage getting away from burning fossil fuels, while simultaneously ending ALL subsidies and tax-code benefits for fossil fuel companies and providing assistance to any industry workers that are impacted by any downsizing.

@nixCraft I find `du -hax` better than `du -sh` but it is a longer list. Also, for people that aren't command-line junkies, the program filelight (https://apps.kde.org/filelight/) provides an excellent view to find where your disk space / quota is going.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr/116298200584577447 Anyone out there with some opinions on both @codeberg and @gitlab particularly for developing #Haskell, #Idris, #Lean, or #Agda ? If you can,, please address my concerns in the quoted toot.
