When will this socialist nonsense stop???

If you think you can outperform others by working 20% shorter hours, go ahead and create your own company.

Or, if these workers really can do the same job in 4 days, fire 20% of their colleagues and raise their pay by 20%!

Or, if four day work weeks are so great and everyone does the same amount of working saving the company 20% of power bill or something, why don't these greedy capitalists do it on their own? Why do we need the government to be involved? (Answer: because less gets done for the same pay - the government is here to tell you you can't fire anyone - yep, it's a new tax)

WTF... How long does this basic math has to be explained?! The same goes for "successful" BNI trials and other garbage economics.

It is plausible, but the casual arrogance in that idea is so thick deserves a second pass. It seems very unlikely that there is a 'gifted' class of people who have better access to depression than the rest of us.

It seems more plausible to me that existential dread strikes at random, and the gifted have a different set of coping strategies that leverage their giftedness. Most people just have to sort of take it because (1) existential dread doesn't imply any specific behaviours and (2) if a body wants to be able to feel existential dread tomorrow while living under a roof it has to keep earning a living.

Besides, life being meaningless doesn't imply anyone has to feel lonely or bad about it. We're all in the same boat and there isn't a reason to feel bad about the inevitable.
That's not how brokers should work though, speaking in code, they are a wrapper around the market to make an interface that regular people can use.

Price discovery means that buy/ask spread changes based on supply and demand, were this the case, and there was no collusion, then there would have been no need to shut down trading.

The problem is the supply was inflated due to naked shorts, and Robin Hood's clearing house/business partner (Citadel) was caught with their pants down facilitating this naked shorting.

Under normal market mechanics, there would be no panic. The price would have increased, early adopters would have gotten profit, late adopters would have missed out and lost as the correct price was found.

The January blocking of trades was a desperate 'Hail Mary' to prevent an actual squeeze, and it *worked*.

Calculations based on married put/calls shows that 190% of GME has, and still is shorted. There is no way to close the short position without increasing demand.

I think that tendency to turn something that can he highly enjoyable (sport) into chore and moral failure if you dont effectively keeps people away from it.

Sport is good for you. But there is no reason to force yourself into one you dont like or do what you find uncomfortable. You can combine sport with social, make it into familly activity or something that requires knowledge.

I think, just as no system is fully self descriptive (there is always an axiom), and there is no fully self contained perpetual motion machine

So it is reasonable to take the universe as not fully self descriptive or defining

For instance can the universe create it's own arbitrary laws of physics and run molecules on that basis? No it doesn't

And so essentially, a simulation, or God becomes required. And the one running the simulation would need an immense power essentially beyond the realms of our conception

> Escaping the depression requires doing things I’m too depressed to do.

This is the hidden danger that people who haven't experienced depression don't seem to understand.
It can, that does not mean that it will, in any case other than people actively probing it for that.
Depends. On windows an installer might be signed. On Linux a package should be signed.

You can't know that curl and your browser get the same data - but you can for example split it up:

curl https://pyenv.run -o install.sh
#examine install.sh
bash install.sh

Ed: or just "save as" like with an installer.

Piping straight to bash can be especially bad if you've cached sudo credentials for the current session - some of these scripts call sudo "inside".

Otoh - the connection is signed (it's https)-unfortunately it's often quite easy to compromise a web site. Obviously, listing gpg signatures on the same page doesn't add much unless it's possible to verify the gpg key some other way.

Ed: another problem is that you really should check exactly what's in you clipboard before pasting to a terminal.

You do understand that's not how laws work in general, right?

The court of law would probably have you unveil and tear apart your process and find that you were trying to plagiarize in a roundabout way.
Not sure that would work in an end game though. If you are behind and make a good move, you accidentally win. If you are technically ahead and make a bad move, you probably lose.

If you can get reliably to an end game with only a king and a one or maybe two pieces left on each side, then maybe it can just be hand-scripted and bolted onto what you're proposing, but I'm not sure your proposal would consistently get it there.

I've built a cheat detection system for chess few years ago. Our client paid for creating a chess portal to play chess for money (not an idea I'd put my money into - and it's been dead after few months). Anticheat engine has worked like that:

- simulate a game using stockfish

- for each move (except few moves at the beginning) compare the move made by player with the list suggested by engine
- if the move chosen by player is on the list generated by engine, than give that player some points (depending on the position of the move on the list)

- do some math considering player's ELO and some other stuff (I can't remember exactly).

Definitely not an ideal solution, but also open for improvements. Btw it wasn't my idea - chess players provided the exact algorithm, so it must have been known.
I'm not sure if making an "analysis" without doing any research whatsoever is reasonable.

> > Language shapes reality,

> Sorry I have disagree on this one. I don't think language shapes reality. It definitely shapes our perception, filters, and biases but shapes reality only in a very Probabilistic graphical model sense. And even then it shapes(as in cavemen---> civilization) reality as much as say, air shapes reality, mathematical formulae and theories shape reality .

Sorry if it's not clear: I'm not trying to say what's true, despite having opinions on the subject; I'm interested in best arguments.

What I think the implications are in assuming that gender is as much state-of-mind as state-of-body (if not more) is two-fold:

1. The body really does matter. It's inconsistent to say that the body has to align with the mind if the body doesn't matter. Surgical and hormonal intervention make no sense if the mind and the body aren't somehow connected in a very deep way.

2. The desire for pronoun usage is more, too, than mere courtesy, but the desire for consensus on reality. If I'm a woman trapped in a man's body or have no particular gender, when I ask someone to use pronouns of my preference I am actually asking them to make a statement about what is real and true. This implies in no small way that language shapes and makes reality in some nontrivial way.

It's the cobra effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive#The_origina...
You probably mean the "Cobra Effect", a form of perverse incentive[0]:

The term "cobra effect" was coined by economist Horst Siebert based on an anecdote of an occurrence in India during British rule. The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, enterprising people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped. When cobra breeders set their now-worthless snakes free, the wild cobra population further increased.

Well, my understanding is that your point is that it's not useful and only regurgitates code it already saw. That's super false, it's useful tool that generates code in a very context sensitive manner. Not always perfect, and in alpha, but still very useful.

The full copying only results from people actively probing the model to output copies of the code, and they made it work for very famous code that's been copied around github a bunch of times. That doesn't make it a non-useful piece of software.

The article seems to imply that the decline in efficacy is due to a decrease in immune response over time in vaccinated peoples, when it could and might actually be about the vaccine being simply less effective against the Delta variant specifically.

> The output of a machine simply does not qualify for copyright protection

Good, does the `cp` or `cat` command qualify for the "output of a machine"? Now I can uncopyright everything, hooray. What about converting a video or an image to another format? Again, it's just output of a machine.

Really, I would've been happy if this was the situation, as I'm, in general, against patents and copyright (in the form that they are now being used).

All fun ideas, but power draw and/or hardware cost limits seem essential for a fair game whereas depth limits and no castling are rather just interesting experiments.

This seems to be a rather selective concern, when, as the article states, there's only 12kg of lithium in the batteries of a Tesla, which is one of the larger batteries out there.

Are you also concerned about the steel, which is on the order of thousands of pounds per vehicle, and requires not only digging for iron, but also the coking coal?

And speaking of digging, iron and coal do actually dig up landscapes, whereas most lithium is actually brine mined rather than dug out.

Last chance to protest

Perhaps I have a lot of stubborn blood in me, but I never see a date or a law as a last chance. Protesting can also take the form of people adding witty footers to their emails such as old propaganda slogans from WWII, periodic messages to chat or chat server status, links to simple how-to's for E2EE that maybe your non technical friends can follow. Put your E2EE solutions to the test. Have your child and a grand-parent follow the instructions. If a provider rejects your encrypted messages, switch providers. Money talks. This is just my opinion based on my limited anecdotal life experiences.

Unintentional copyright violations and “leaking” of secrets people accidentally committed to public repos aside, my main issue with Copilot is that I don’t think it actually makes coding easier.

Everyone knows it’s usually far easier to write code than to read code. Writing code is a nonlinear process: you don’t start from the first character and write everything out in one single pass. Instead, the logic of the code evolves nonlinearly—add a bit here, remove a bit there, restructure a bit over there. Good code is written such that it can be mostly understood in a single pass, but this is not always possible. For example, understanding function calls requires jumping around the code to where the function is defined (and often deeper down the stack). Understanding a conditional with multiple branches requires first reading all the conditional predicates before reading the code blocks they lead to.

Reading, on the other hand, is naturally a linear process. Understanding code requires reconstructing the nonlinear flow though it, and the nonlinear thought process used to write it in the first place. This is why constant communication between partners during pair programming is essential—if too much unexplained code gets dumped on a partner, figuring out how it works takes longer than just writing it themself.

Copilot is like pair programming with a completely incommunicative partner who can’t walk you through the code they just wrote. You therefore still have to review most of it manually, which takes much longer than writing it yourself in the first place.

Id expect that since that’s your intention, as described above, then it is copyright and you would be the actor. In the GitHub case, it isn’t the primary intent but rather a byproduct of the goal of helping another developer? Not a lawyer, but spent enough time with lawyers to know that what you’re describing won’t fly. I don’t even know what GitHub is doing will fly, maybe they’re hoping it gets tested.
There were blunders in the first round of games. I remember this vividly because I went through all the games with the exact same version of Stockfish with the same time controls and it thought some of its own moves were blunders. This is partly why people were so puzzled by the setup that led to this.
I’m not sure what the point is. That the argument of copying Disney movies is not a good analogy, or that courts will find plagiarism in software copyright cases involving Copilot?
> The court of law would probably have you unveil and tear apart your process and find that you were trying to plagiarize in a roundabout way.

This is the whole idea. Copilot is spitting out considerable chunks of code that is licensed under GPL and it will be up to GitHub to prove that Copilot is not trying to plagiarize this code in a roundabout way.

In the very least, Copilot should have separate data stores for different groups of licenses: public domain, attribution-only, copyleft, etc.. That would already make it much more usable than the current "here's some code, it came from I don't know where, don't ask me" that literally looks like black market deals except they are GitHub-branded.

I'm not sure either —which is why I said "may have been reasonable" instead of "was reasonable" :)

I can see an argument for doing your own research, but I can also see an argument for basing an analysis on what GitHub said in the FAQ — I'm honestly a bit surprised that Microsoft's lawyers let them say that with a product that can reproduce such large blocks of verbatim code.

> I'm going to assume it will also regurgitate malicious code.

Well if it wouldn't replicate or even randomly generate malicious code, it would imply that CoPilot would somehow be able to solve Halting Problem or - at the very least - understand intent and purpose of both its output and training material.

Keep in mind that the very definition of "malicious code" is highly subjective, plus the intent and purpose aren't necessarily encoded in the program itself. If the latter were the case, there would be no need for documentation, requirements or specs.
