Why do you believe this? Even the notion of bias, which you must conceive as real for your claim to hold any weight, is a version of the descriptive being confused for the normative. And for biases to be as problematic as they are considered, they must be common in key places. Why couldn't researchers have an unreasonable bias against reasonable biases?
This is the subject of the paper. People were clearly "insider trading" although probably they didn't have to leak much information just "based on defense purchasing I think it would be a good idea for you to buy stock xxx".

You should comply with the laws of the country your operating in, yes. Google has different versions of its offerings for different countries, as it should be. She changed scihub for everyone, though, not just Indians, that's the difference.
It shouldn't be controversial to say that on average, men are taller than women. However it is a problem to say that "since you are a woman, I infer that you must be short". The difference is (not really) subtle but the first statement can be true while the latter statement is obviously fallacious.

With an objective quantity like height it's easy to see the error, but harder with less well-defined quantities like intelligence, character, etc..

It's frustrating to see people talk past each other with ill-defined terms.
I'm starting to see that chaos and entropy are metaphors that we who have experienced existential despair are using to describe something else that may not be clear to those who have not. Not sure, but people keep getting distracted by those terms, but it seems to be missing the point.

Upstream post may well have said there is no meaning to all this order. Paying attention to the underlying order doesn't address the lack of meaning which is the essential part of the statement. There is no meaning to all this... *gestures vaguely around* might get at it better
It’s pleasantly surprising that Ministry is specifically mentioned here! I haven’t always listened to music while working, but when I did, it was almost all Ministry. Very rhythmically mechanical (even for industrial), and driving. I found it great for powering through something I didn’t want to do, or when I was tired. Worked better than caffeine.

Whether Copilot infringes copyright is a muddy area. I personally would like to think that the world where machines can be trained on any data is easier to live in than one where trained machines are tainted by the licens of input.

The interesting question however isn't whether Copilot infringes copyrights, but whether those that use copilot do.

I wish. I just want users to know what rights they have. Ultimately, I want my software to serve end users, not companies. If companies add value for users with my software, that's exactly what I want.

Curl User Survey 2021
That doesn’t stop them asking though.
It would cost whatever citizens collectively are willing to shave off of wealth and productivity with taxes. You wouldn’t set a monthly amount and then throw your hands up and say it’s unaffordable. You’d start with the max amount you could reasonably convince a majority of citizens (who vote) to support and work backwards.

I’m not an expert, by any means, but to say it’s impossible seems flippant and intellectually dishonest. A better way to approach it would be with caution and the understanding that a lot of research and effort is going to be required if it’s to be implemented soundly (or determined to be untenable).

The several already existing gravitational wave detectors have already detected signals believed to come from black hole-black hole, black hole-neutron star and neutron star-neutron star mergers.

Using the time delta between detecting the same events at different detectors around the globe, we have inferred the directions the signals are coming from.

The intensity curves of the events tell us details about the masses and other characteristics of the colliding object. Also over time the distribution of their masses and other characteristics will give us information about the populations and distribution of these objects, which can help validate our theories of star, neutron star, black hole and galaxy formation.
Really interesting, this is the first time I hear anything about what is in those Realtek firmwares. Keylogger aside, is there anything fun or nefarious one could do with the radio?

Also, we use them at work in our products, and usually just get the firmware and driver binaries thrown over the wall by the board vendor, withouy any description or changelog. I'm tempted to throw a few different bins through Ghidra and see if I can tell what changed.
The claim (which I'm not qualified to judge) is that this use falls under fair use. The point of fair use is to allow some use of copyrighted works even if the copyright owner does not license it to you and even if the owner is explicitly hostile towards your usage. If it is indeed fair use, then the license doesn't matter because that's not the thing that's allowing you to use the work.

This comment doesn't seem too related to the article except for the words "Jason Snell" and "Realtek", and both of those appear misused.

So I don't mean to be rude, but I'm guessing this is a chatbot? Skimmed for proper-nouns, then generic shrills about how the author and article are great and how technology's too complicated?

I am mentioning Wikidata/SPARQL in README (TL;DR: less data still, harder to discover unless you are deeply into SemWeb tech), but I expect this project, will it live long (fingers crossed) will definitely has some relations with Wikidata, too. My previous attempt on something similar: https://github.com/molybdenum-99/reality — used both Wikipedia and Wikidata (and OpenStreetMap and...) but however cool were few demos I managed too achieve, it was a dead end for several reasons.
"What amounts to fantasy and superstition and what reflects reality?"

I don't see how we can ever really know. We only ever have access to our own experience. How could we ever find out what the world is really like beyond our own "subjective" experience?

"Pyschedelics is a rabbit-trail followed from here, as well as the idea that "nothing is actually real, this is just a simulation". And following those is the idea "reality is what you make it" and "you are God". But those conclusions run up against things that we cannot change like death and taxes (the taxes part is a joke, but only kind of)."

Who's the "we" that can't change that?

Some believe that our "true self" is the universe itself or god, and we are just deluded in to thinking we're separate individuals. In that view death is illusory as the universe or god don't die, and taxes and everything else about the world is created by the universe or god (ie. by your "true self").

There are many other views too, even if you reject yourself being god or the universe, that consider everything in the world (including death and taxes) as illusory. Many mystics, for instance, considered the material world to be illusory and the heavenly world or the world of god (or of "ultimate reality") to be real.

"We're left with a dissonance of "all is illusion" vs "there exist things that we cannot change and things that are consistent outside of ourselves".

Do we really need to be able to control the world for it to be an illusion?

If we're, say, brains in vats, then we might just be fed our illusory experience and be unable to change it.

"If we were in a dream-state and there was not actual object permanence then I'd agree with the conclusions of the religious pyschedelics crowd, as well as the all-is-illusion crowd."

I don't see why you'd need any kind of object permanence either for the world to be an illusion.

Also, one's belief that there's object permanence could itself be yet another illusion.
Even if you could filter topics somehow, many users would do whatever to bypass the filters to get their political messages through them.

It would reach the point where not trying very hard to bypass the filters would make you liable somehow: "you, a JavaScript developer, should've tried harder to bypass the politics filters when you posted your pro LGBT tweet. What are you, an anti-Semite?"

Yeah maybe by modern software which doesn't respect the user's privacy and resource usage it's nothing to worry about.

I'd say this is a regression, and adding all that networking code makes it easier for them to push it further down the line, and adds more vectors for attacks.

At best it's bloat. Developers were able to write good software without pulling in user's data before, it says more about the devs if they think it's so necessary.

Okay say it's not spying—you now have another app on your system pinging hosts, and depending on how much you trust Muse, you have to check the changelog every time to ensure they haven't added more bloat or juiced up the telemetry.

I'd posit that spying has been normalised we don't even recognise it anymore. Opt-in isn't a get out of jail free card, since your avg user will just click whatever.

Space expands uniformly across all its volume, so the parts far away from us also have stuff in it. Some stuff already moves away from us faster than light.
No matter how fast they notice it, a leak will have a huge impact even if just for a second.
Bigger system means bigger pipes or faster transport, either will result in more loss than what a whole consumer grade system can possibly contain.
But like someone said, they most likely wont be using any consumer grade gasses. Big systems use gas that is more dangerous for humans nearby, but has no impact on the ozon.

What tech are we talking about? WoL is definitely appreciated in all devices, although the "RealWoW" thing is very much diminishing returns. Otherwise, everything is just normal programmable chips and DMA-type data movement, both of which are generally desirable.

I'm inclined to believe this. After all, why would they taint the training data with code from a random guy who is asking for help when they have more than a hundred thousand repos with 100+ stars?

I was there in the Usenet days, and it was beautiful. I was there when Compuserve and Prodigy and Mozilla burst forth.

It's not the platform though.

We're seeing a retelling of the Eternal September story, and it's sad. Yeah, some historical context will be passed on, reframed for the new century. But there's a core philosophy that will never be "recovered." Because it didn't truly arise from sharing.

The proprietary model is a representation of lots of harvested open source code snippets. Without the model copilot is nothing. Arguably, the code snippets are part of the product....
The idea that the debate actually does a disservice to copyleft by relying on the strictest interpretations of copyright is an interesting perspective to me, but the rest of this seems pretty weak. (Caveat that I'm no lawyer.) Copilot can regurgitate verbatim chunks of other codebases: it seems absurd to me that that wouldn't count as derivative work.

Even though I enjoy traveling I would say it is not for everyone. It gets romanticized online because it's easy to share great pictures. The reality is that loads of effort goes into those great pictures.

My girlfriend put a serious effort into organizing the trip (we traveled together) and I don't think I would/could have done it without her. I went to lots of different countries including India, New Zealand, Cambodia, South Africa, Namibia, Bosnia, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia. Some places I stayed for weeks, others just days. Some places we did group tours (https://www.gadventures.com and other similar companies) and other places we stayed in hotels/hostels/camped. You can learn about history and culture and you can enjoy yourself drinking, eating and meeting people. Each place is different.
The whole point of UBI is to remove means testing. I think we can set a number that works on average and let people move to suit their needs. We definitely should avoid all incentives to game the system as it will only distract and get the initiative bogged down in paper pushing bs.
In the article the spokesperson for the insurer is quoted as saying:

"It is important to clarify that whilst the master is ultimately responsible for the vessel, navigation in the canal transit within a convoy is controlled by the Suez Canal pilots and SCA vessel traffic management services. Such controls include the speed of the transit and the availability of escort tugs."

In other words, they do not accept that the simple rule of the captain being responsible for the ship is all there is to it, case closed.

I'm not saying they are/were right or wrong, just that they are not a random pseudonymous person on the internet who's ignorant of the shipping industry and can be dismissed the same way.

You are myopic in your comparison. "Most of the stake isn't for sale." Well if we are fantasizing about huge pools of capital shelling out the money necessary to get enough mining equipment for a majority hash rate, there is no reason the same pool of capital can't purchase stake at a premium. Do you think every holder is going avoid selling out to a high premium due to loyalty for the underlying protocl? No, especially when selling means they are no longer exposed to the risk they create by doing so; rational actors will sell to the highest bidder, who may be anonymous. It's exactly the same issue.

Further more you're quip about Bitcoin being unable to scale its security past use as a speculation asset, which as I point out above applies to any PoS asset (perhaps even more so), is also context deficient. Bitcoin's value will increase when mining is more decentralized (which is heuristically determinable enough to take the risk), which will increase mining decentralization. Many large mining setups today could have 51% attacked Bitcoin through most of its history, but they weren't around then. Bitcoin's mining grows just as the price grows, when people are willing to believe in its market value.

Nothing sketchy about the journal either. The next issue may come out in August due to the publication schedule and article queue. But there's no reason to delay availability of the article after it's addressed all the reviewer and editorial concerns.
How does one address the fact that 95% of software is based on the same basic tropes? At a certain level of density, all code trying to achieve a similar function to legally-protected code will convene on an implementation that is almost indistinguishable. With LOC accreting exponentially, only time will determine when we reach that threshold. The Copilots of the world serve to accelerate and monetize this reality.

It should be noted that while LIGO has one detector per site in an L shape, the Einsten Telescope (ET) will have three, each one in the corner of an equilateral triangle[1]. The idea is that this provides enough of a cross-check to rule out local sources and glitches.

That kinda implies you leave and go to the city centre each time, which might not be the case. Living next to a major train station is usually very expensive. If you're visiting family in the suburbs, you might be closer to the airport than the city centre (or be "unlucky" and have the airport on the other side of the city).
It sounds pretty situational to me.
