自分の文章を claude に翻訳させると、自然っぽい感じの英文にしてくれるんだけど、ぱっと頭に入りづらい文章だしてくる感じがする。自分の文章を英文にしたときに、「ふーんこっちのほうがネイティブっぽいんかな」みたいに思っちゃうんだけど、Google翻訳につっこんだらわかりやすい文章だしてくるというか、もうちょっと言いたいニュアンスに近い感じがする。

It seems to me that most people, when wrapping up a big project that consumed their life for awhile, get excited, happy, and want to throw a party.

I, on the other hand, get weirdly depressed and dismayed. I question if it was worth it. I wonder if anyone will care or notice. I fear I wasted my time or that it was pointless. It's sort of a depressing time, mentally, in a strange way. I try to fight it, but the darkness is there anyway.

So anyway, just finishing up a huge Tapestry code project.

here’s a thought: since there is a lot code with viral licences (eg. GPL) attached, and some of that code has been used to train the dominant LLM code models, this would mean that all code produced with the help of these models should be also GPL’ed.

so in reality, 95% of EVERYTHING that was programmed in the last three years has to be open-sourced.

AI 그림들은 뭐 전문가에게는 부족한 점이 보이겠지만 일반인에게는 사실 테크닉적으로 거의 완벽에 가까운 그림을 뽑아냄 그래서 요즘은 오히려 완벽하지 않은 그림(팬아트, 일러스트)을 위주로 봄 완벽하지 않은 대신 작가가 표현하고 싶은 부분에 더 집중하고 거기서 맥락/꼴림/예술성 등등 AI로는, 정확히 표현하면 AI에모든걸맡기기하는 딸깍이들은 절대 표현 못하는 정성적 가치가 나오는 듯

I'm doing some writing on the topic of volunteering, and I'm having trouble tracking down the source of where I read a relevant claim: something along the lines of "burnout happens when people care about affecting change but lack the agency to do so". I'm sure this is neither new nor novel, but if that jumps out to you as "oh, I read / wrote a blog post or conference you probably saw", I'd appreciate a link.

OpenAI to acquire Astral

What strikes me most about this acquisition isn't the AI angle. It's the question of why so many open source tools get built by startup teams in the first place.

I maintain an open source project funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund. Getting there wasn't easy: the application process is long, the amounts are modest compared to a VC round, and you have to build community trust before any of that becomes possible. But the result is a project that isn't on anyone's exit timeline.

I'm not saying the startup path is without its own difficulties. But structurally, it offloads the costs onto the community that eventually comes to depend on you. By the time those costs come due, the founders have either cashed out or the company is circling the drain, and the users are left holding the bag. What's happening to Astral fits that pattern almost too neatly.

The healthier model, I think, is to build community first and then seek public or nonprofit funding: NLnet, STF, or similar. It's slower and harder, but it doesn't have a built-in betrayal baked into the structure.

Part of what makes this difficult is that public funding for open source infrastructure is still very uneven geographically. I'm based in Korea, and there's essentially nothing here comparable to what European developers can access. I had no choice but to turn to European funds, because there was simply no domestic equivalent. That's a structural problem worth taking seriously. The more countries that leave this entirely to the private sector, the more we end up watching exactly this kind of thing play out.
