How mature is this repository? My long quest for open-source software metrics
When I discover an open-source software project for the first time, how can I estimate whether it is mature, healthy and usable?
I just released OSSTRL - Open Source Software Technology Readiness Level to help me calculating the maturity of open-source projects.

The "crunch" on AI use is starting, it was amazing how quickly i reached my limit in my Gemini Pro account using Gemini 4 Argon (amazing model byt the way). Bigtech has to quickly increase prices/turnover to survive i guess. Companies/organisations are also struggling with the costs. I think opensource/openweights models will become even more popular, although their use is also not for free (infrastructure).

The urge to use opensource projects where maintainers have similar worldview to yours is kinda unpleasant, when you tend to always have your own opinion.
One would ask, if it isn't like that with everything then. Um, I don't know? Worldviews seem to be exposed more aggressively here, than around other things, at least by some folks.

ok, there's potentially value in a webapp having access to a deterministic, promptable "anything" classifier that runs locally. if you know which anything-classifiers are available, you can validate a prompt for your use case, and shipping a prompt to the browser is probably cheaper than shipping your own classifier
this definitely feels more interesting than local LLMs, but it's not a trillion dollar industry. it's "browsers ship an api for Ann's opensource ocr and pose detector, cool"

From a research paper to running open-source code in just a few days.
We (with @…) have been experimenting in Vulnerability-Lookup with the concept of Local Exploit Hazard, based on the recent research paper “Modeling Local Exploit Hazard — A Bayesian Framework for Quantifying Exploit Risk and Operational Efficiency” by Stephen Shaffer and Laura Cristiana Voicu.
The idea addresses an important question in vulnerability management:
Not simply “How dangerous is this vulnerability globally?” but “How much exploitation risk does this vulnerability represent in my environment?”
Instead of introducing yet another static vulnerability score, the model starts from exploit likelihood such as EPSS and combines it with local security controls, CVSS attack vectors, vulnerability age and KEV policy to estimate an exploitation hazard.
We implemented an experimental version in Vulnerability-Lookup and connected it directly to operational workflows.

vulnerability-lookup 6.0 will be released this week with many (really, many!) new features.
One of the smaller, but important, additions is support for multiple SSVC views alongside CVSS. When SSVC information is available from an ADP (such as CISA) , or from additional sources such as GCVE, it is now displayed by default.
This allows users to more easily compare the different severity and prioritization assessments associated with a vulnerability.

The Radio Image Framing Protocol (RIFP) 1.0 is an experimental, extensible standard for sending images over low-rate radio links.
The default rifp-cpfsk-4800 profile uses binary continuous-phase FSK and can be deployed around 433.92 MHz where local regulation permits it. RIFP itself is not tied to 433 MHz or to FSK and can be used in any frequency bands.
