So after looking around to see if it is stable on M1 Macs and there is some information about that [0]. It seems to be still 'experimental'.

It's only 'free' as a demo version for now:

> There’s a free/demo version (with our usual free/demo limitation of going silent after 10 minutes, with the ability to ask for more time)

As for the paid subscribers:

> The full build is available to Ardour subscribers (including those who have already paid US$45 or more for version 6.x).

To Downvoters:

So there is NO native M1 version then? Just because you can try 'run it in Rosetta' doesn't mean it's going to be 'stable'. If it is not native, There is no guarantee on that. Not even Apple can guarantee it.

Don't be so quick to shoot the messenger. I'm trying to give you information before you try it. While the smart ones stay on Intel, all I'll say to the M1 folks is to use with caution.

Maybe, but the technobabble inspires exploring pretty fun concepts, one example would be we tend to think of technology as something humans do, but really humans are specimens within a spontaneously emerging system and our subjectivity prevents us from constantly being cognizant of that, so really technology emerged spontaneously from the biosphere itself, we are just the mechanism by which that happened.
I'd say the novel part of the project is the Github actions/Gitlab CI integration. I haven't seen that used for RSS generation yet. That the selectors are stored in a config file is also unusual for these types of feed generation projects.

Though Show HNs do not need to be novel to get to the top. And RSS related projects seem to go to the frontpage simply because of the fondness HN has for the technology. Also, don't forget https://xkcd.com/1053/ :)
But as I understand it, copilot can generate much longer snippets, even entire functions.

I think the big question is, if copilot ends up copying significant portions a GPL work, not just tiny snippets, is the resulting work infringing, and if so, who is liable?
You can think of this space as something that tells for every point a path passes through, how long the distance of the path in that point is. So when I connect A and B with a path, and I take the integral of space on that path, I get the length of the path I would travel if I go from A to B along this path. One step further, the distance from A to B is the shortest length of all paths from A to B.

Now if for every point in the universe, we have those numbers for each path through that point, we call that a "metric". Einsteins laws tell us how those numbers all relate to each other and how changing the numbers at one point affects the numbers at other points over time. And from those laws, you can see that you can have waves within those numbers.

So it is not "something" that is waving, it is space itself, the thing that defines distances, the metric, that is waving.

Now the annoying thing is that that means that two points at rest with each other, can be at a changing distances from each other. What happened is that the space between them was waving, changing which path between the points was the shortest path, and how long that path was.

Pitch forks.
Good point. Here's my 2 cents -

> D.4 specifically grants GitHub the right to display your content, analyze your content, and reproduce it in full to other users of the service

If you read the section carefully, this covers the right of GitHub to do those things to your content "as necessary to provide the Service". "It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service".

So, does "Service" only cover the type of Github's service at the time of the agreement, or does it allow Github to invent all kinds of unrelated services and use the code as such? If Github can provide a "Copilot" service that arguably "learns" the code, can it also provide a service that blatantly "copies" large pieces of source code for the user (without complying to OSS license terms)?

It's not very clear what the answer would be, but if what I described is allowed, the consequences of this term being so broad would imply that if you're not the copyright owner of code you uploaded to Github, you've probably violated some OSS license by agreeing to Github's terms.

I'm saddened that it's necessary to bother posting this, but Ardour also has a similar privacy policy, which you should read if you intend to use their services: https://ardour.org/privacy.html

Ardour also has a compile time optional "phone home" feature which checks for update announcements, so you should disable that when building if you care about this sort of thing: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/13f5fb3dee640f0bfb1d66...

Personal note: I do not consider these things to be issues with Ardour, or with Audacity. I commend PaulDavisThe1st and x42 and the rest of the Ardour contributors, as well as the Audacity developers, for their respective work on these two excellent projects.

As someone that worked in this area, IMO, the difference between DAWs and modern audio editors (especially a complete one like Audacity) is massively overstated.

DAWs make fine audio editors for 99% of cases. The non-destructive workflow might even be simpler to most people.

For recording a DAW is IMO a better option, since it's battle tested in critical environments where super-low latency and rock solid stability is non negotiable.

On the other hand, modern audio editors like Audacity already have lots of complex features: complete multitrack recording, plugins, automation, so it's not as if the complexity difference is that big. Honestly, someone used to edit Audio on a DAW would also have a hard time picking up Audacity too, since it's complex on its own as well.

If it were SoundForge vs ProTools 15 or 20 years ago I'd definitely agree that one is not an alternative to the other, but Audacity vs any DAW today? Yeah you can replace it without much difficulty.
There were two parts to the argument which seem to hold water.

1. Any code generated by co pilot is likely to be agpl

2. since the authors of copilot used co pilot beta to make co pilot release copilot is very likely using agpl licenced code and therefore in breach of the agpl licence.

so yep, article looks flawed.
Offhand impression. With thermal storage systems. Round trip efficiency numbers range from really bad at 50%. To really good at 80%. Batteries are probably 80-90 percent efficient.

Notably to me is that cost per mega watt hour varies a lot more than two to one. Which says to me energy storage is economically feasible using a number of different technlogies.

I can only repeat myself: In light of Google v. Oracle going as far as the Supreme Court I find your confidence in this quite astonishing.
You got downvoted, but I kind of like this argument. There are a million "about me" pages, but Copilot did a good job of picking one for "generic software engineer". If it could just have changed a word or two to a synonym, it would be great.

Copilot is the moment when simple functions have been commoditized, you can have as many as you like almost for free, and adapted to any project. Just spend a moment to admire the transition, it's a new stage of post-scarcity.

AI can recreate photos, paintings, sounds, voice, music, human faces, text, dialogue, math, proteins, and now code. It does all this while allowing humans to control and direct the whole process, and create original combinations. They all have no economic value to own and are free to use now, like words in a language. Enjoy!

It exists on many websites because that userbase wants it.

Virtually all websites that have them such as Reddit, Facebook, and Youtube are known to promote isolated echo chambers and extremist views, but that's what they attract so it's not going away or they would loose their userbase.

I do not believe that Reddit was started with this mentality, but at it's start wanted to promote decentralized leadership, but by now they must have realized this and their current policy seems to be to capitalize on their current userbase, which is known to favor and enjoy echo chambers. — H.N. is to a certain extent spared from this because it only has one page rather than attempting to divide itself into semi-isolated communities, but it's still quite obvious in distinct threads that one can be upvoted for saying the same thing one can be downvoted for in another thread, and that in general threads are filled with agreement.

Ironically, in this very comment train, people are mostly agreeing with each other that the voting system creates too much of an echo-chamber.
Energy is not a fungible resource. Energy produced by hydroelectric plants in ghost cities in China is not useful for other purposes.

To be clear, I'm not saying that all or even the majority of energy used to mine cryptocurrency is currently renewable. I have no idea what the current state of things is. What I'm saying is that if we're looking to solve the problem of cryptocurrencies producing carbon and other emissions, using renewable energy is arguably just viable a solution as PoS, without some of the security problems that PoS has.

I do know that some Bitcoin mining operations are investing heavily in renewables, and given the cost of fossil fuels, I suspect that will give them a significant advantage in the long run.

Still doesn't seem like you've given it any thought...

If I go round giving people the 'choice' of free samples of heroin, with full knowledge that they're highly likely to become addicted and will no longer be able to choose not to parttake, and even with the intention that they do, and then I make bank, that's pure exploitation. And detriment there is definitely not subjective. Maybe there's a little more nuance to the equivalent in social media but it's not all that different, and negative effects on mental health are even more scary because they're not as blindingly obvious as the results of a physiological addiction.

Maybe you should try understand the limits of rationality in human decision making, especially with immediate vs. delayed rewards, then you might get some idea that choice is often more a function of the options in front of you than whatever might have the best outcome. Reality is just a little more nuanced than this oversimplified ECON101 libertarian ideal of absolute freedom of choice.

As you allude to, this is a very straightforward phenomenon. The founding population of the Internet is not identical in distribution to the population that now exists on it. Most people are small and vicious and incredibly stupid, and now the population of the Internet[1] looks more like "most people" than it did in its early days.

There's practically nothing to see here. If a bunch of chimpanzees join a club, it's not that interesting to note that there's suddenly shit being flung everywhere.

EDIT: just to be 3000% clear, given the current obsession with the topic, my comment and use of "chimps" has less than nothing to do with race. It's a reference to our entire species' primate past and the tendency to underestimate our similarity to those ancestors.

[1] Limit this to the developed world if you'd like. Countries that came online much more rapidly and recently, and continue to have large portions of the population come online every day, are dealing with a different but related set of problems.
Remember that a lot of software not only relies on memory that the developer explicitly allocated but also on buffers and various caches, disk cache being an example. It goes a long way - kernel might refuse dropping disk cache when it considers it's too hot (ex. db machine.)

Hm... Interesting points. I'll have to reflect more on that, but at a glance I think I genuinely do like my current position. I have the control and flexibility to do practically whatever, without much responsibility _requiring_ me to do much of anything. The startup is large enough (50+ employees) that a lot of the boilerplate is done, across all fields, and the real meaty work can begin.

> I attribute a lot of what was happening to the cognitive dissonance...

I have had significant issues with cognitive dissonance in the past. I was experiencing strong RSI-like sensations, with nothing I tried relieving the pain. I believe someone on HN pointed me towards The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. Sarno, which talks about your brain causing pain in response to cognitive dissonance. It's honestly pretty weird and probably a placebo, but actively being aware of my dissonances and mentally addressing them appeared to help, and I haven't had symptoms since.

Using the Python interpreters in your system doesn't mean you can't make virtualenvs out of them - it's just that they are precompiled and well supported on your specific OS.

I used custom Python interpreters a lot and it's nice to be able to rely on the system to provide a sensible environment instead of forcing myself to build my own.

> A given piece of software can be bullet-proof today and a catastrophic hole can appear tomorrow.

Sometimes you do everything you can and things still go wrong. That's okay.

What happens in practice is totally different though. Gross negligence is endemic in the technology industry. Most companies out there simply don't give a shit. Their negligence is deliberate, calculated and pre-meditated. They know exactly how much damage they're causing and they don't care because caring costs money.

> Without standards, your use of "crappy" is meaningless.

It's not meaningless at all. For example, nearly every laptop manufacturer I've ever seen has delivered to me software that is unambiguously bad. This opinion is not controversial at all. You just need to fire up some manufacturer app to see just how incredibly bad they are.

I've posted about that here many times and people explained to me that the software is garbage because hardware companies literally don't care about it. They see it as just additional costs to be eliminated and as a result we get products which are total crap. My laptop came with a driver that intercepts my keystrokes and sends signals to the keyboard so that it can light up the LEDs under the keys I pressed. What caused an insane design like this to even come into existence is beyond me, no doubt it came down to saving a few cents in manufacturing. I replaced this functionality with free software and I'm not sure if I even want to know whether there are any vulnerabilities in that driver.
Yup. At my job we ended up some way too important stuff "modelled in BI tool" in a way that nobody could understand how it actually works, and had to do full rewrite to model it in SQL.

But not all BI tools are alike - something like Superset which internally uses SQL and expects users to do self-service transformation using views is easy to industrialize since you already have the queries. Something like Tableau, not so much.

(If only Superset were more mature)
> Ironic, considering the opposite is true for planes. Although I do believe only one is typically in control/“pilot” at any given time.

In US civilian flying, one is the pilot flying and the other is the pilot non-flying (usually operates radios, etc.) They usually alternate landings. Pilots study Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) to improve communications.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) is responsible for the flight (not ATC.)

Airplanes can be towed on the ground. Not sure how responsibility is assigned. It's pretty common for wingtips to collide during ground-handling, which grounds both planes.
> Descartes' I think therefore I am has become a cliche, but it is profound. I can chuck any questioning about whether I actually exist or not. How do I know that I exist? Well, because I am thinking.

This is a common mistake. Cogito ergo sum actually assumes the conclusion by asserting the existence of "I" while asserting that "I" exists.

The fallacy-free version is "this is a thought, therefore thoughts exist". Still profound, but it does not prove as much as you think.
