What does it have to do with the Lisp machine?

Presumably it's a machine command runner (like shell commands and whatnot - as opposed to an Emacs command runner, perhaps).

Pretty much all of graphics research now revolves around machine learning, whether it’s neural networks or something like Gaussian splatting.

Starovery (Old Believers) maybe?

Blogspam, here’s the source: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-updates-next-steps-fo...

It's derived from Jedi Academy's source code which is licensed under GPL.

FreeBSD is definitely not a "GPL OS", the license is right in the name!

Guess he meant non-free OS. I still don't get the point though, cause someone who cares so much about FOSS wouldn't be criticizing SL vs Leopard, he'd just not use Mac OS.

To be pedantic “BSD” is the name of the original distribution that FreeBSD is based on, and the license is also named after it (rather than FreeBSD being named after the license).

A/UX predates Xserve by 14 years.

And how much did A/UX sell? I Have an A/UX coffee mug in my kitchen. It even has a phone number on it.

That repository is not the engine, it's just the code for the client.dll/server.dll binaries that contain game-specific logic and some other tools.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife on the other hand is the full Half-Life (GoldSrc) engine, but it's not quite an open license.

That is just the SDK, but there is an unofficial open source implementation of goldsrc.

Also based on leaks/reverse-engineering.

I'm pretty sure this is just the mod SDK as well.

Didn't Valve release a huge update to Half-Life in 2023 (i.e. 6 years after the linked comment was written)?

Yeah they obviously still have the code. I think the important point there is server for partners - there is some things that licensees wouldn't get (uncompiled middlewares I'm guessing - they don't need to modify Bink/Miles/Havok etc).

Is it Tasha?

Bingo

Better keep her away from any suspicious black puddles.
