resolves YES if X publicly releases source covering the substantial core of the platform (backend serving, ranking, client apps), with narrow exclusions permitted for credentials, third-party proprietary dependencies, and genuinely security-sensitive modules — but NOT if the release is limited to the recommendation algorithm or another subsystem
Update 2026-07-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The timezone used to determine when September begins is Central Daylight Time (CDT).
@Bayesian Does the whole, complete codebase need to be open source for this to resolve Yes?
or is it allowed to have exceptions like chrome, which is mostly open-source but some parts are closed-source (e.g. DRM-related modules).
@Agh Fable proposes this:
resolves YES if X publicly releases source covering the substantial core of the platform (backend serving, ranking, client apps), with narrow exclusions permitted for credentials, third-party proprietary dependencies, and genuinely security-sensitive modules — but NOT if the release is limited to the recommendation algorithm or another subsystem
does that seem reasonable? I'm aiming to match the spirit of the market
@Bayesian I guess those count but any of the 'meme-ey' ones he does or grand scale stuff is always bullshit imo
@CourierSix yeah lol that all seems like a list of business goals rather than the innovations he spouts
@AffineTyped imagine this market resolved NO but in his timezone he had followed through on his statement ! I’m not EVIL
@Bayesian I'm still of the belief that AOE is correctly when a month begins when a timezone is ambiguous
