I think what is upsetting to those who create free[0] software, particularly GPLed works, is that their code has been used to create something that is non-free, which they have no control over (and thus takes away all the 4 freedoms).

As such I really don't understand why so many people are saying things like you have said here. These people believing in free software, including the original intent of the GPL to be a tool against copyright, does not mean they should, or would, be all for co-pilot, a non-free product by a company that once spat in the face of free software (and likely still does behind closed doors), who is using their free software, including the GPLed works, to create a non-free software.

As such, even if it ends up being legal from a license standpoint, it really feels like copyleft is being taken advantage of and exploited because nothing is given back in return (even if copilot remained free of charge, that's hardly giving back in foss lingo). So I suppose it's more a moral and intent thing rather than a legal thing at this point, unless copyright law decides copilot is a derivative work (doubtful, personally).

> Unless my recollection is off, the GPL was never the goal of the original Free Software movement; it was merely a tool to get to the end state where all code becomes available for use by anyone for any reason without cost or restriction.

Yes, but the GPL was created for a world with copyright to step towards a world without it. However we are extremely far away from such a world, and I don't see how copilot helps step towards it at all. I just don't see the argument. It just results in code that will be used potentially wrongly in copyrighted works, proprietary or not. And all of this is enabled by, as I mentioned, a non-free software created by Microsoft, who have used their huge capital to gain access to a proprietary AI by throwing money at it. Nothing about it seems fair even if it ends up all being legal in copyright terms.

[0] I'm seeing a lot of people in these threads who don't know the definition of free software or open source. Free software referes to free as in freedom, not free as in 'free beer' (gratis). Of course, free software is still often gratis, but you can still monetize it in various ways.

What "severe social dysfunction" are you referring to in, say, NYC or DC?

Among the 10 most populous US cities, not a single one currently has a Republican mayor. Among the top 25, there are only 2 with Republican mayors: Jacksonville, FL and Fort Worth, TX.

Do you honestly believe that most of the other 23 largest cities in the country have severe social dysfunction? Do you honestly believe that Jacksonville and Fort Worth are substantially more functional urban societies?
It’s a terrible example of housing policy and how we want the city to develop and mature, but it is still a perfect demonstration of how excess supply drives down prices.

I don't think this makes much sense. The maximum throughput of a CPU in terms of instructions depends on so many factors (thermal, memory, instruction mix) that trying to summarize all of them into a linearly-scaling "utilization" metric is a bit tricky. You can measure the fraction of time CPU cores are busy, the number of instructions executed, frequencies, etc. to get an idea, but only experimentation will tell you what "100%" of a system's capacity is.

You can deal with this by restarting the whole process occasionally. Usually this is fine.

(Alternatively, you could use reference counting almost all the time but rarely run a GC to do compaction. This means still being able to identify all pointers in memory, so I'm not sure anyone does it.)

When Tesla announced superchargers, they were all about solar panels and cars powered by sunlight, but for the serious rollout they had to go with the more easily scalable, cheaper option, so very few superchargers have solar panels after all.
Actually this is kinda standard in Japanese ryokans. Many places offer umbrella/rain boots for rent, and hotel staffs marking pathways on their giveaway map is common. Now, it's possible that they might have went an extra mile for a clueless (as they thought) foreigner, but I find this kind of thing a little too nosy. This probably explains why many Japanese people prefer a more businesslike Western hotel today, and ryokans are more or less for foreign tourists.
If [commit] is the merge commit for the feature, then this should work:

git show [commit]^1..[commit]

The ^1 incantation means "first parent", so in the feature branch style I'm describing, this would show the changes on all of the commits for the feature merged at [commit]. You can use `git diff` instead of `show` in the same way, if you just want the cumulative diff.

It seems to work on the repository I've been contributing to, as it shows each of the commits that were part of the feature branch. The merge commit itself is empty, as desired, avoiding the up-thread concern of unreviewed auto-merged code.
It depends on who pays for power. When I was running a couple thousand machines on managed hosting, we disabled frequency scaling, because it wasn't our power bill and predictability and ease of measurement is nice. But at places where we paid for power, then frequency scaling was enabled (and sometimes they'd throttle things down to manage hot racks etc)

It sounds like you think most people upvoted it because it is a shiny toy and the bar is very low when it comes to impressing tech industry workers. And also you don't believe upvotes have a positive correlation with innovation on HN, because the mRNA vaccine posts don't have as many upvotes as you think they should. Does that about sum it up?

There was another way to do it: Google could have designed its own API from scratch for Android, rather than reimplementing the Java standard library.

Of course, this would have sacrificed two things: compatibility with existing Java code, and familiarity for existing Java developers. However, thanks to the typical game of telephone seen when lawyers and judges discuss technical subjects they're not deeply familiar with, the fact that Android was compatible with large bodies of existing Java code went essentially unrecognized; the courts focused solely on the fact that Android was not compatible with existing Java apps (in their entirety). Therefore the case was decided as if designing an API from scratch would have only sacrificed developer familiarity, not compatibility. Luckily, the Supreme Court decided that even developer familiarity alone is enough to justify reimplementing an API as a type of fair use. (And that is now precedent.)

On the other hand, if you're using an API rather than reimplementing it, and it's very clear that compatibility is at issue (i.e. your code would not be compatible with the library you're trying to use if you wrote it any other way), I'd say the case for fair use is much clearer.

That said, if some snippet isn't literally the only way to do something, be careful before declaring it too trivial to be copyrightable. In a different part of the same case, a trivial 9-line helper function [1] called rangeCheck, which Google had copied verbatim by mistake, was held to be an infringement.

This is often repeated, but the entirety of the US south is warm year-round and the proportion of unhoused homeless is much lower in all those southern cities. Clearly there is something else at play on the west coast that resists housing the homeless.

Reporting the clockspeed along with the used percentage makes the most sense.

Sure, just like no one actually knows what "critical race theory" actually means. A concerted effort to encourage these misunderstandings hardly helps.
Maybe a survey of managers and owners would have reduced the confusion this article concludes with, but I guess professors on dress codes are easier to get ahold of during lunch.
Notably something he said in 2018, not recently. I believe it was discussed here then too.
Why not show the absolute % CPU usage and the % relative to the throttled capacity? No need to choose. For that matter, if throttled, also indicate the reason: heat, performance (any other reasons in might be?)
I'm looking forward to this, should be a worthy upgrade to my 3200G, which was a quick-and-cheap build to see if I'd use a desktop in this day and age, and if I'd outgrow it. Yes to both!
If you want that approach, just add a line that says "thermal throttling: 50%" at the top. Then it still adds to 100% usage.
Welfare can not work in an entirely free market system. Thankfully I do not believe in subscribing uncritically to one line of thought.
I know this isn't the simplest solution, but the only solution is to stop giving them your speech. If a child lights something on fire every time they get their hands on a book of matches (dating myself perhaps), you stop giving them matches. You're right if you bring up the fact that we've never had to deal with the entire neighborhood supplying the kid with matches, but I think my point stands. We can only control our own (re)actions.

And don't be mistaken: the "freedom" sites fired up as First Amendment outposts to service nazis who got kicked off of mainstream services by corporate overlords, they're "censoring" too:

Agreed. Terrorism seems like it is unneeded.
Why would they need to ask for opt-in if they believe what they're doing is within the license terms?

I don't ask for opt-in when I copy a snippet from Stack Overflow or use some code from an MIT licensed repo.

The only question, I think, is if what Copilot does is actually in compliance with the licenses.
The police can only effectively deal with the homeless the way LA did in Echo Park -- by kicking them out. Then it becomes an issue for somewhere else.
That seems a strange argument… yes, if we didn’t have planes, trains would be our best option… but it would be a much worse experience. 20 hours is a lot longer than the 5 it takes me to fly to New York.

If there was no air travel, I would just travel a lot less. If you want to argue that the environmental cost of air travel is too great to allow it to happen is one thing, but done act like it wouldn’t make the travel experience a lot worse.
>Utilization should be relative to the maximum frequency the CPU could be running the same instructions at

How do you define "maximum frequency"? For desktops it's relatively easy to define since they usually have good cooling and power delivery that they can always hit the top frequency, but for laptops this often doesn't apply. It might be only able to sustain top frequency for less than a minute before thermal throttling kicks in.
Well, in that case, when will we start jailing bikers with loud exhausts for the deaths of old people from heart attacks?
This is not an impossible situation due to legalities. This is an impossible situation due to judges, ministers, officials etc unwilling to fix it!

It’s just a mix of malice, apathy, incompetence. Ministers and highly placed officials or even heads of the state have stepped in for lesser inconveniences.

> The threat about driving is hilarious. So she drives, gets caught driving or speeding. Who are they then going to charge? Whatever answer you come up with, the response will be: But she's dead. Now what? They'll have to charge her. Won't that be hilarious: charging a dead person. For driving. Take that to court.

Just a guess, but imagine she would get jailed until someone can prove her identity. Which would be a long time.

Or she gets charged as a Jane Doe of sorts, with extra contempt stuff (do they have that in France?) heaped on for refusing to identify herself.
Agree 100% (he!). The utilisation really needs to show busy as in % of presently available resources, and displaying what those are is a completely different concern.

For Windows, if anything I'd love to see an additional metric, where the app resource usage is presented in % of available cores.

Eg if I have a single thread app (i.e. a game) on let's say a 10 core CPU with SMP disabled, it might report 10% usage. But looking at the core graphs we see one at 100% with the other 9 idling. So the app is really maxed out at its architectural limit - ie 100%. It would be nice to have an additional column representing this - and maybe an idea of the foreground app's available % usage in other reporting (am I cpu limited, or GPU? people have bought Intel over AMD CPUs for this metric even though multi thread workload capacity has been far greater in AMDs).

Taking a step back again, especially for Ryzen CPUs unless manually locked you'll have different per core frequencies - so the article's suggestion becomes an almost impossible mission: A Mandelbrot processor can be split across all threads rather equally for an unthrottled 10 core run say at 4ghz, but a core limited config may be able to run it at 4.5ghz prior to thermal throttling - what is the real max to report in a 10 core run following that then? And on a very cold day, with fans at a higher RPM, the core limited run might hit a higher 4.8ghz - now what? You just can't; reporting on current CPU capability is a separate concern altogether.
It doesn't sound like the person you're replying to understands that the code returned is largely synthesized with OpenAI's Codex. It is not simply a "snippet selection" mechanism, it has "learned" (to a limited degree) patterns in code, and can generate those patterns even if they don't exist verbatim from the training set.
As a nitpick, it is AI, it's just bit different than the current crop of what most people think of as AI. Expert systems and evolutionary programming are also in the same spectrum as ML, as steps along the path to what we think true AI will be (even if not necessarily a straight path).

Noticing statistical correlations and acting on them automatically in a recommendation engine is definitely a type of AI.
I think you're probably misunderstanding. As an example, rolling out a policy at a company with thousands of people has to be done slowly and incrementally, with buy-in across teams, etc.

To do the same is trivial at a small company. What would take years and lots of effort becomes something you can do in spare time.

Of course, we put considerably time into security, it's not just something that one does once in a while with spare time. The point is that we can go much much faster.

That seems like something entirely different. Windows is displaying cpu usage relative to all the cores (total load divided by total number of cores), whereas linux is displaying usage relative to one core (total load divided by one core).
It's an indication that they want the appearance of taking it seriously.

I think this episode will tell us definitely how much of GitHub is left, and how much Microsoft has infected their culture.
Fair use wouldn't matter if you were distributing the code in a way that followed the license, but the vast majority of permissive licenses require including the copyright notice, which they don't do. Only niche licenses like WTFPL would be permissible to use like this without invoking fair use.
> However, when the CPU's speed has been reduced because it's too hot …

Maybe just measure overall system load as current CPU temperature as a percentage of maximum?
If that's the case our cities should have fallen apart by now from just the dogs alone.
I kinda feel like the central problem is that CRT is that its an ideology. It's a bundle of ideas, packaged together, and you can take it or leave it as a whole. Promoters take it. Opponents leave it.

I read and re-read CRT papers to understand what they're talking about, and they make a lot of really good points. They also have a fair number of errors. That's common to most documents.

It'd a brilliant starting point for a critical discussion.

As-is, it's trivial for people on the left to point out obviously true statements missing from the central narrative, and call opponents racists.

It's equally trivial for people on the right to call out things which are obviously wrong, and discount the whole thing.

What we need, though, is to sort out the good parts, refine them, and get rid of or fix the bad parts. We can argue about the ratios there, but I don't think we can argue it's 100% wrong or right.

There's lots of programs available in California. If you're not currently drunk or high, you can generally get a bed and food for a day at a shelter in most West Coast metropolitan environments. If you're in these shelters, there's jobs programs that can get you earning a modest paycheck quickly. Unfortunately there's a large and growing segment of unhoused that don't want this, though. They want to be able to drink, or use other drugs. And that makes them ineligble for most of these programs. So they set up camp, continue to decline in mental health due to stress, diet, drug use. And they spiral farther into the drain.

It's these people that need the strong hand of law enforcement to whip them into shape. It's for their own good, honestly, which bothers me as a big proponent of personal liberty and personal responsibility. But their options are either shape up, or slowly decline to a tragic death. A puppy who is not trained not to bite toddlers very well may end up getting euthanized. Sometimes strict enforcement is the morally just choice.

edit: my point is that both are needed. The options for the self motivated, and the guiding hand of arrest for those who cannot save themselves.
In terms of setup and ease of use jaided OCR[1] is the best one I have used out there. I can't stress how many times I tried other alternative (tesseract, paddle OCR) out there and kept going back to use their OCR library. Mainly because it supports a large variety of languages out of the box while provide nice results.
