🍺 Talk Spotlight: @ivanov is bringing the legendry with "Pun Intended Consequences", a hilarious romp through SciPy history, lightning talks, and the absurd wisdom that shaped our community 😄 #SciPy2026 🔗 scipy2026.scipy.org
I went to a meetup up at @DoorDash on Friday, so it's amusing to find this "TEST TEST TEST [pulse 2022.07.28.19.59.32]" restaurant and 4 others, next door to "Mx Menu Demoooooo1231245"

This continues an odious trend in open source where people make comments like “I won’t consider your project unless you satisfy my demands”. Been dealing with this nonstop for 15 years. Giving away my labor for free and still getting criticized for it

The voice of reason seldom loudest in the room.
Any project that accepts code generated by tools violating license terms dilute & invalidate their own license.
These include all automated tools in use today, as even training sets that exclude GPL nevertheless violate terms of BSD & MIT licenses which require attribution.
1/5
In particular, in no uncertain terms it should reject contribution that utilized any of the popular tools in use today, which includes GitHub CoPilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral, Replit Code, StarCoder, CodeLLama. 4/5

Active support for that version stopped 9 years ago, and it reached end of life two months ago.
