That said, even under those rules, I would be comfortable arguing before the court that this code has significant human involvement and easily passes the copyright standard.
It’s also why I don’t think someone can just easily create another one and license it under BSD. My code is AI assisted, but all truly important pieces were human made.
I actually don’t care about the commercial license. It’s more of an experiment for my own amusement than an actual attempt at building a commercial project.
If it inspires someone to build another one and we still end up with a better differ, I’m ok with that world. As long as the open source community has a better differ.
Note that there already are at least 3 that I am aware of. But they do perform worse on speed and accuracy.
In the meantime, I added support for all other non-code file formats. Hence the name change.
It’s quite a big chunk of functionality.
Delta adds color to the standard git diff algorithm.
Omnidiff uses a completely different algorithm.
About a third of diffs are significantly better.
However, given the latest Plex exploit incident, I have been thinking how to detect and prevent outgoing anomalous connections…
But I can do it if you want to beta-test it and file bugs if it doesn't work.
And also for some reason explicitly lists „military aircraft and ships“. Which surely should be allowed just for the comedic value.
Secret Squirrels will obviously keep track of who wants to blow up Starlink, but they will not interfere unless it makes sense for the country.
Completely different than parking a tank preventively in front of each base station. Or even just a police car.
And, well, would you expect the state to proactively assign military protection details to such people?
No. They would have their own body guards, and maybe a police protection if needed. But not army.
The spy and counterspy agency would probably investigate, but they are not going to post a flak cannon next to each Starlink base station.
It’s not exactly uncommon or inconceivable that yes, the property of foreigners doesn’t quite get the same protections.
VAT I guess being the interesting part given the original topic.
Federal Certificate of Vocational Training in Information and Communication Technology
It’s a 4 year high-school apprenticeship and you have to work under a licensed professional during your apprenticeship during those 4 years.
I had such apprentices on my team. It’s a good system.
Even IF they need code, they need at best a CRUD app to track patients, that's it. There is no way Fable or Opus 5.5 can't one-shot a village vet clinic app in 30 minutes, and only with "I need a village vet clinic app" as a prompt, and whatever questions it decides to ask along the way with it's "ask user" tool.
Or a florist, to use the example from a sibling comment.
Code is tiny part of "business".
Most business is correspondence with people who want money from you and people you want money from.
It's just amazing how quickly we accept that models are good at something.
My florist boss can't get Claude to automate rose pruning. But she sure as hell doesn't need to wait until Jacques is back in the shop to respond to that French supplier anymore. There is a lot of "business tasks" that are just paper being shuffled around no matter if you are a florist, baker, workshop owner, custom CNC shop, student offering lessons in extra time or whatever. And LLMs are already scary good at those.
In your case, the comment you link to says „business tasks“ and you expanded it now to „arbitrary new tasks“. Those are not the same. An LLM today sure can do many many many business-speak conversion tasks.
Pretending to be an „Ingenieur“ is illegal unless you have the paper to back it up. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be a university paper, there are older trade papers that also work.
Calling yourself a „dipl. Ing. <X>“ would be a crime if you don’t possess the appropriate degree.
Most trucks I pass on the road daily are already electric in my part of Europe. Seems like all the big European companies, especially Mercedes, are pushing them out the door as fast as they can.
LLMs have speed development up so much, the difference between engineers and programmers is becoming too obvious to ignore.
We will have to adopt something that is normal in all other engineering disciplines. Just like civil engineers can’t sign off projects until they pass the exam and „years working for an engineer who can sign off on projects“ is an exam requirement.
That is the whole point. If you want to understand more, this song is genuinely a good explanation:

And I'm not even joking.
There’s a meeting scheduled in Ottawa next month for the actual deal writing.
And the EU treaties refuse to define what „European“ means, so using „watches Eurovision“ as a rule of thumb is surprisingly workable as a definition of where the borders of „Europe“ end.
The ECJ has consistently ruled that the freedom of movement is very broad.
I know this because it creates an interesting corner case where Swiss citizens don’t have quite the same broad freedom of movement since ECJ rulings don’t automatically apply to non-EU citizens. For example, an EU citizen can move to Greece for no reason at all and just sit on a beach. A Swiss citizen cannot, and has to find work in 3-6 months or leave.
Among other things, they mentioned „recognition of professional qualifications“ in their speeches today, which is the first step in freedom of movement, so the direction is there.
Also, visa free is a third thing, which already exists for Canada/EU. Neither needs a visa to travel to the other.
