It's fun seeing both of these posts on the main page of hackernews at the same time.

It's all a test of loyalty, crucial for fascist regimes.

Ok so why keep calling it "truly open" then? It's an obvious lie and nobody is forcing you to say it. It benefits your marketing, sure, but it harms everyone else by diluting the meaning of the term "open". So stop doing that please.

Hi, your "truly open" model is "gated" on Huggingface, restricting downloads unless we agree to "hold you harmless" and share our contact info. Can you fix this please, either by removing the restriction, or removing the "truly open" claim?

Curiosity and interesting questions won't have any future in the trump world. So yes, this is very relevant to the HN community. Doing nothing is also a choice which has consequences.

Felony conviction is garbage?

Science tells us how climate works, technology provides renewable energy, but it's up to politics to do the switch. If we don't, then we will simply run out of time, problem will grow, and then we will get into a dead end where we really won't have the technology to fix it. There was a last chance to do it right around these years, we blew it by two trump presidencies instead. If that isn't politics, then nothing is.

Sure, so let's vote for the felon who openly wants to become a dictator, makes so much sense...

There is no other way though. Climate change is not a technical problem, it's political. We've had the tech to fix climate change for long time, we know how to do it, that part is quite easy and obvious, we are just not doing it.

sorry, can someone copy&paste what's on that link? (how are people still on that site anyway?)

I have yet to see any polls predict any result in any election.

We will also blow through any chance of stopping climate change.

To do science, you need to come up with counter-examples. A simple way to get to the truth in this particular case is to come to the town full of electro-sensitive people, and announce that there has been a large EM device secretly installed for a week and see how many of them will suddenly report symptoms, even when there actually wasn't any device installed. Or conversely do install the device and don't announce anything and check if somebody sensed it.

Non-commercial is not open-source, because if the original copyright holder stops maintaining it, nobody else can continue (or has to work like a slave for free). Open-source is about what happens if the original author stops working on it. Open-source gives everyone the license to continue developing it, which obviously means also the ability to get paid. Don't call it open-source if this aspect is missing.

Only the FLUX.1 [schnell] is open-source (Apache2), FLUX.1 [dev] is non-commercial.
