  • As a guix user and package maintainer I’m ecstatic.

    I’m so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.

    If you’re curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!

    Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme’s parentheses. :)



  • It’s not quite cut and dry as there’s also the recent decisions by the supreme court:

    Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith (2023) - “At issue was the Prince Series created by Andy Warhol based on a photograph of the musician Prince by Lynn Goldsmith. It held Warhol’s changes were insufficiently transformative to fall within fair use for commercial purposes, resolving an issue arising from a split between the Second and Ninth circuits among others.”

    Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC (also 2023) - “The case deals with a dog toy shaped similar to a Jack Daniel’s whiskey bottle and label, but with parody elements, which Jack Daniel’s asserts violates their trademark. The Court unambiguously ruled in favor of Jack Daniel’s as the toy company used its parody as its trademark, and leaving the Rogers test on parody intact.”

    The aforementioned Rogers test was quoted in both decisions but with pretty different interpretations of the coverage of “parody.”

    One thing seems to be the key: intent As long as AI isn’t purposefully trained to mimic a style to then it’s probably safe, but things like style LoRAs and style CLIP encodings are likely gonna be decided on whether the supreme court decided to have lunch that day.
