Reproducibility is the New Copyleft: Defining AGI-oriented Reproducible Builds

arXiv:2606.03019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Copyleft, as implemented in licenses such as the GNU General Public License, was a legal hack that used copyright to guarantee user freedom by tying the availability of source code to every act of distribution.

Large language models and, prospectively, Artificial General...

Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows

Steve Ballmer’s darkest fear has come to pass: Linux has worked itself into the deepest innards of Microsoft Windows itself. At the company’s annual Build developer conference this week, Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built multi-call binary file for Windows that serves over 75 Unix commands directly in the Windows CMD and PowerShell command lines – including favorites such as cat, ls, grep, and head. They join Linux favorites curl and sudo which were earlier added to the Microsoft...
