Any software or hardware that become obsolete, or unsupported after period of time, let's say 3 years should be open sourced. Same for books, movies, etc. If you don't sell it, in any way, then it should be public domain.
Upd: lets make it 5 year without restriction. Any creative thing should become fully open source. Thats all.

Comment on Russian jokes about Vladimir Putin and the war in ~society
Deely Link ParentHalf of these jokes is definitely old USSR jokes where Stalin replaced with Putin. I don't think they very popular, because that's basically rehashing, but maybe I'm just old.Half of these jokes is definitely old USSR jokes where Stalin replaced with Putin.

Comment on Waymo to begin testing in Tokyo, its first international destination in ~transport
Deely LinkAlphabet-owned Waymo announced Monday that it will start testing its autonomous vehicles in Tokyo in early 2025, the company’s first step toward international expansion.
Waymo hasn’t committed to start commercial service in Tokyo yet, but the robotaxi developer will partner with Japan’s largest taxi operator, Nihon Kotsu, and taxi app GO to start testing its Jaguar I-PACE vehicles in Tokyo’s streets.
To start, Nihon Kotsu drivers will manually operate the Waymo vehicles to map key areas of the Japanese capital, including Minato, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Chiyoda, Chūō, Shinagawa, and Kōtō.
Data from the manned test drives will help train the company’s AI systems. Waymo will also test its robotaxis on a closed course in the U.S. built to mimic driving conditions in Japan.

Comment on Google says AI weather model masters 15-day forecast in ~enviro
Deely LinkThe model was trained on four decades of temperature, wind speed and air pressure data from 1979 to 2018 and can produce a 15-day forecast in just eight minutes—compared to the hours it currently takes.
A new artificial intelligence-based weather model can deliver 15-day forecasts with unrivaled accuracy and speed, a Google lab said, with potentially life-saving applications as climate change ramps up.
GenCast, invented by London-based AI research laboratory Google DeepMind, "showed better forecasting skill" than the current world-leading model, the company said Wednesday.
The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) produces predictions for 35 countries and is considered the global benchmark for meteorological accuracy.
But DeepMind said GenCast surpassed the precision of the center's forecasts in more than 97 percent of the 1,320 real-world scenarios from 2019 which they were both tested on. -

Upd: some permissions should be added manually.

Let's wait for a few years and we will see is this true or not.
I like the idea behind this test, it's basically simplified variation of part of standard IQ test.
I don't like the implementation, and that they comparing how people score on it vs AI.
