Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

If you can't reproduce the model then it's not open-source
I think the process of data acquisition isn't so clear-cut. Take CERN as an example: they release loads of data from various experiments under the CC0 license [1]. This isn't just a few small datasets for classroom use; we're talking big-league data, like the entire first run data from LHCb [2].
On their portal, they don't just dump the data and leave you to it. They've got guides on analysis and the necessary tools (mostly open source stuff like ROOT [3] and even VMs). This means anyone can dive in. You could potentially discover something new or build on existing experiment analyses. This setup, with open data and tools, ticks the boxes for reproducibility. But does it mean people need to recreate the data themselves?
Ideally, yeah, but realistically, while you could theoretically rebuild the LHC (since most technical details are public), it would take an army of skilled people, billions of dollars, and years to do it.
This contrasts with open source models, where you can retrain models using data to get the weights. But getting hold of the data and the cost to reproduce the weights is usually prohibitive. I get that CERN's approach might seem to counter this, but remember, they're not releasing raw data (which is mostly noise), but a more refined version. Try downloading several petabytes of raw data if not; good luck with that. But for training something like a LLM, you might need the whole dataset, which in many cases have its own problems with copyrights…etc.

Interactive GCC (igcc) is a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for C/C++
The odd part is that this is not just for fun. For many physicists when I was at CERN, a C++ REPL was a commonly used tool to interactively debug analyses to such a degree that many never compiled their code. Back then, I believe, it was some custom implementation included in ROOT (https://root.cern/). I even went out of my way to write C++ code compatible to it just so it could run with this implementation, otherwise some colleagues weren't interested in collaborating at all.

Stable Diffusion in pure C/C++
That Python ML code is calling C++ code running in the GPU, one more reason to use C++ across the whole stack.
CERN already used prototyping in C++, with ROOT and CINT, 20 years ago.

Nowadays it is even usable from Netbooks via Xeus.
It is more a matter of lack of exposure to C++ interpreters than anything else.

cppyy Generated Wrappers and Type Annotations
I'm a user of CERN's ROOT (https://root.cern/) and while I'd usually write in C++, I've been trying to write as much Python as I can recently to get a bit better in the language.

Span: how to cast pointer of pointer to other types?
I'm dealing with a C++ software called ROOT made by CERN, which is, if I'm not wrong, the only C++ API that we could use for data analysis such as plotting histograms, fitting multi-parameter functions and storing data in the size of TB to the disk and many more. That's the only reason why physicists still stick to this software. you can check here .

Building a local AI smart Home Assistant
alternatively, could we not simply split by common characters such as newlines and periods, to split it within sentences? it would be fragile with special handling required for numbers with decimal points and probably various other edge cases, though.
there are also Python libraries meant for natural language parsing[0] that could do that task for us. I even see examples on stack overflow[1] that simply split text into sentences.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is the main idea behind LLMs to output text based on user input?
Check out https://www.nltk.org/ and work through it, it'll give you a foundational understanding of how all this works, but very basically it's just a fancy auto-complete.

If this is True, then you need also Natural Language Toolkit to process the words.

[CROSS-POST] What programming language should I learn for corpus linguistics?
In that case, you should definitely have a look at Python's nltk library which stands for Natural Language Toolkit. They have a rich corpus collection for all kinds of specialized things like grammars, taggers, chunkers, etc.

Which programming language should I learn for NLP and computational linguistics?
In terms of programming languages, Python is a great first programming language. the learnpython subreddit has lots of good recommendations for resources to get started. Once you're comfortable with the language, NLTK would be a good place to start, and the docs have heaps of examples. Check it out https://www.nltk.org/
