Hey! If you’re familiar with the term JAMstack, you can think of us as the “A” for API’s. A static site like a blog typically doesn’t need any backend-specific functions but anything that requires a server to run you could use Napkin for. Popular frontend hosting platforms like Netlify and Vercel also have serverless function add-ons that can be attached to your project.

Our goal is to be the “CodePen for backend” and our one-off functions can be used for more than just websites (think mobile apps, IOT devices, etc). We’re excited to build out examples and enable discovery very soon!
I am not sure I fully grasp this yet

but comments above are suggesting that because of LSP (Language server protocols) plugins can be portable now, from one editor to another

i thought each editor needed its own plugin, and VS Code always seem to have the main plugin, didnt really come across plugins that run across multiple editor, but then i was not really checking this, next time i will check it

Your literal blackout analogy falls apart pretty quickly when you consider that this story lives in the attention economy, a seething ocean of information all vying for our eyeballs. It's more like there's a town (with power) and somewhere there a light that's blue and nobody can see it from the air, and you think everyone in an airplane should be able to see it. Maybe there is a vast conspiracy, but just because this one story didn't show up in in the mainstream news, reputable or otherwise, doesn't mean there's a conspiracy against blue lights.
Without government intervention, how would anyone be compelled to participate in arbitration?
> IP has always rubbed me as preoccupied with protecting a past instead of forging a future.

Honestly, I think that must because you're using "IP" in a kind of vague way. I think it's important to distinguish:

1) more traditional IP regimes, that were designed to incentivize the creation of new things by protecting the people who made the initial effort to bring them into being, and...

2) ...more modern IP regimes, that have been twisted and perverted by powerful entities to protect their ability to milk old work for more profit.

You can support #1 without supporting #2, and abolishing #1 to get rid of #2 would (in many, many cases) just lead to the return of old abuses (e.g. why should a publisher pay an author anything when they could just copy their book without paying).
Essentially, from my understanding, there was a data leak they never commented on, they instituted a poorly made content filter without saying anything. The filter frequently has false positives and negatives, someone discovered they trained the game using content the filter was designed to block, meaning the ai itself would frequently output filter triggering stuff, more people found out their private unpublished stories were being read by third parties after a job ad and the stories were posted on 4Chan, people recognized stories they wrote that had triggered the filter that were posted, and then they started instituting no warning bans.

I might have missed something, but that's the gist of it.
It didn't. The short version is that we don't currently have a wealth tax, with only a few specific kinds of things being taxable. I offered that maybe we could add IP to that list of things, and he said that this was the main gist of Piketty's plan and it had met with huge resistance, and that if we're going down that route we should probably start with stocks and bonds, etc.
This is a really cool concept. The scene from the video where it is identifying bricks from a pile seems like a crazy awesome computer vision application.

> If you write some source code, intending it to be proprietary (for your operating system, for example), and I obtain it somehow, you'd be screwed under this system.

Securing that only you can use some arbitrary machine instructions under IP law is an abomination, so I'm ok with this.
> > As we oppose all government intervention in the marketplace, we favor the repeal of intellectual property laws. Disputes between inventors, creators, authors, artists, businesses, and other such entities should be resolved without government intervention.

Ending IP laws in this case is like ending laws against theft. Without government to define what property is in this case, I could just take without any need to engage in any dispute resolution.

AFAIK the free speech that the United States enshrines applies to public venues, e.g. the street corner, radio waves, etc. As the current venue has shifted from public streets to private social media, the government should be required to create a counterpart to this emerging venue, otherwise the 1st amendment will be sidestepped based on a technicality (people willingly conglomerating on privately-controlled forums).

The government, if it values free speech, must create a twitter/facebook equivalent, open source it and apply constitutional protections to it as an optional alternative to private venues.

I am OK with specific venues curtailing free speech (FB, Twitter, etc) but I am vehemently against internet infrastructure curtailing free speech (hosting providers, ISPs). Together, the infrastructure providers constitute the internet and censoring free speech at that level makes the internet in violation of the first amendment, and I believe the internet was imagined as a public venue.
GIS. Geographical Information System. Basically databases off of geographic reference points. With enough connectivity you can pre-fetch the next legs speed limits. With enough ingenuity, you can get other cars to do it for you, Though you may want to look out for people inserting intentionally bad data.

Info lookup and storage is easy. The hard part is making sure it can't be tampered with or worked around (The first thing I'd do. Sorry. Yes, I have issues with authority.)

I strongly dissuade these types of things though as I'm intensely distrustful of centralized control infrastructures that allow for the potential implementation of effective "No Zones". Once you can tell everyone how fast to go where, you aren't that far from a system that can tell specific people's vehicles to only work going somewhere, or that they can't travel somewhere in particular.

>That would be totally impractical.

Which merely guarantees the development, deployment, and refinement of the approach against social untouchables and deplorables. Once it's in place though, that's when the normalization starts.

And yet,

"We hold that rights to property, including real property, are individual rights and, as such, are entitled to the same protections as all other individual rights. The owners of property have the full right to acquire, trade, control, use, dispose of, rent, collateralize, or enjoy their property in any manner, without interference, unless the exercise of their control infringes upon the valid rights of others."

I’ve never understood why trademarks even get bunched in with intellectual property. Trademarks are a much simpler, easily-defensible concept. When you’re selling something you can’t lie about fundamental facts about the thing you’re selling.

They explain it in their article[1]:

"the solar-to-vapor conversion eﬃciency, defined as the ratio of total vaporization enthalpy to total solar energy input, for most previous studies has been limited to below 100% as the vaporization enthalpy is lost to the ambient environment."

I think this is a complicated question to answer, but I'll give it a shot:

Within the tech industry, the correct proportion of minorities should be representative of your hiring pool (which is why I think they ask you to self report), or maybe even proportionally to "all qualified potential candidates", not sure how you'd measure that out.

The problem is even within qualified potential candidates, many minorities are still under-represented. This is a societal problem outside of the tech industry, but one that leaks into it.

More opportunities for these minorities to get a leg up to enter the field would bring the proportions closer to normal, stuff like affirmative action for schools.

It's a tough answer and nobody wants anyone in the chain to take responsibility for lifting up those that have been put down, it's definitely a flawed approach but I'm glad to see businesses attempt it.
Absolutely, make GPL illegal.
YMMV, obviously your locale and my locale don't suffer the same issue with shared spaces.

> Is the problem this meaningless new phrase "shared space"? We've always had festivals and markets and shows and concerts and things like that.

The point was that this is all where I live in terms of shared spaces and I seize those opportunities. The idea being, there is a need for shared spaces. For example, whenever a block party is organized here there's not really any public space to host it. Not enough greenery per district where daily activities of the locals can vary but special events, for said locals, are easy to put together. That's a void.

As for the term, I understood the spirit of it to mean public spaces to socialize, where any variety of activities can be done alone or with others. Examples include parks with chess tables, public pools and nature reserves. You can easily go to these kinds of places, socialize with perfect strangers or go alone and still be surrounded by people in your community. Again YMMV and that's OK. I'm open to any ideas so long as those spaces exist.

I agree and think it'll always be hard to trust strangers. But the more opportunities communities have to socialize, the easier it is to build that trust -- but they have to exist. When there's a lack of spaces, that just compounds the trust issue.
When you are working in a team, please try to find some common conventions for naming things. There is no global best solution for a name, it all depends on the other people you are working with.

When I first read Design Patterns by the GoF, what I liked that it gave names and rules for some patterns that I had already encountered. But using this naming convention only works if your teams agree to use them.
You can only think this is crazy if you haven't dealt with the Patent Office.

They just can't do the job everyone thinks they are doing, so we'd be better of without patents at all.

There's a long quote down a ways (starting: "How, without government, could we settle the disputes that are now settled in courts of law?") that does a pretty good job of giving you the gist. The very TL;DR, and I don't think an unfair one (read Friedman's own, quoted story of how his system might work, if you don't believe me) for anyone who's familiar with cyberpunk fiction is that it's basically just unironically advocating the corporate-security-is-the-only-security future that those settings often feature. Given the timing, it seems probable to me that Friedman and others' writings on this topic inspired those elements of that genre, in fact.

In Friedman's version of the story, this looks like a lot more freedom than we have now[0]. In the cyberpunk version, it looks a lot like feudalism.

[0] I don't really see that, personally, in his and similar writing, which looks like it replaces de jure restrictions with a pile of stress, anxiety, and risk, which don't really feel like more freedom in any practical sense, to me, but it's supposed to be there, so let's just grant for the sake of argument that he's successfully painting a picture of a more-free system, as that's what he intends.
That's not intentional modification, just bad quality control from the manufacturer.

I have a question. Once you hit the tab and get a list of completion items through either completion-nvim or nvim-compe, how do you further narrow down the list? All I can do is cycle through items or match by prefix, but I want further narrowing by matching substring/regex/flex anywhere in the items à la Ivy/Helm from Emacs (or any of the so many completion systems available in Emacs).
More apologia than primer, yeah?
Actually I knew about Shi's work early on because I talked with experts on the field and I shared all this info without problems.

The urge to ban that info in social sites came much later, when politicians got the message and considered that info dangerous(and because the West depended on Chinese supplies).

Most politicians are so dumb from the scientific and technical side that it took a long time for them to understand.

But it gives us and important lesson: If we want to inform ourselves, we should use alternatives to centralized social media.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Coronavirus Will Become ‘Seasonal’ Like The Flu https://www.blackenterprise.com/dr-anthony-fauci-coronavirus...

During his guest spot on NBC News’ Meet the Press, Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist who serves as the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and medical advisor to the president, said that virus will become “seasonal.”

Fauci: Coronavirus Vaccine Booster Shots Likely Needed https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-05-26/...

"I don't anticipate that the durability of the vaccine protection is going to be infinite," Fauci told a Senate subcommittee. "It's just not. So I would imagine we will need, at some time, a booster."
IP laws are there to protect incumbents, not foster innovation. We literally had a post last week, on how the spicy sauce was able to be successful without copyright or IP protection.

on another note, though I don't know if this is a right place for this: I feel we gonna have a strong push towards libertarianism due to the repressive media freedoms we've these days. I say this as a minority bpoc.
I'd fully expect it to copy code and change variable names in a lot of cases--if it wants to achieve the goal of filling in boilerplate, how could it do anything else? That's pretty much the definition of boilerplate: it's largely the same every time you write it.

What's less clear to me is that Copilot regularly does that sort of thing with code distinctive enough that it could reasonably be said to constitute copyright infringement. If somebody's actually shown that it does, I'd love to see that analysis.
I also use ALE, and my main reason not to switch is that I also want to run linters, and I don't want to install a separate linter plugin when I know ALE works just fine for me.

It would be interesting if ALE could integrate with nvim's LSP implementation though, although I'm not sure how that would work.

Well, they wouldn't be IP disputes, because there would be no IP.

I'm guessing they refer to signing contracts similar to NDAs when you don't want your invention to be public, but still want to "sell" it to some specific entity.

Those of us that don't want to be bound by any "IP" can just not sign any of those contracts.

SWEs create AI based solutions to X 'cause people pay them. Entrepreneurs and investors are the one who actually think they're the answer to everything.

Also, Copilot might (or might not) be useless or even interfere with real work. But it's probably low on the scale of awful things SWEs have helped create. The AI parole app is a thing that should haunt the nightmare of whoever created it, for example. But lots of AI apps may be useless but are probably also harmless so doing that might not be worst thing.
They had some people use the thing for a while, and concluded "Hey look, it doesn't seem to quote verbatim very often. Yay!" There is nothing in there that describes any sort of mitigation. The three sentences about an attribution search at the very end are aspirational at best, and are presented as "obvious" even though it's not at all clear that such a fuzzy search can be implemented reliably.

I use the halting problem as an analogy because their naive attempts to address this problem feel a lot like naive attempts to get around the halting problem ("just do a quick search for anything that looks like a loop," "just have a big list of valid programs," etc.). I can perform a similar analysis of programs that I run in my terminal and come to a similar "Hey look, most of them halt! Yay!" conclusion. I can spin a story about how most of the ones that don't halt are doing so intentionally because they're daemons.

But this approach is inherently flawed. I can use a fuzz tester to come up with an infinite number of inputs that cause something as simple as 'ls' to run forever.

Similarly, I can come up with an infinite number of adversarial inputs that attempt to make Copilot spit out training data. Some of them will work. Some of them will produce something that's close enough to training data to be a concern, but that their "attribution search" will fail to catch. That's the "open research question" that they need to solve.

We don't have a general solution to this problem yet, and we may never have one. They're trying to pass off a hand-wavey "we can implement some rules and it won't be a problem most of the time" solution as adequate. I don't see any reason to believe that it will be adequate. Every attempt I've seen at using logic to try and coax a machine learning model into not behaving pathologically around edge cases has fallen flat on its face.
It's a political tool to highlight abusive behavior, and thus exert pressure for police reform. However if that is too abstract for you, an individual's legal team could use this tool determine if an arresting officer has a history of abuse and police perjury.

I imagine the impetus for this comes from the widespread accounts of cops that have long histories of abusive behavior and evidence tampering being tolerated and indeed covered up by the police. In fact in many states, disciplinary records are secret, and indeed there are moves in several states to make independently documenting abusive police encounters a criminal offense.

There's other reasons for that existing. For instance, liability.

If you're familiar with webhooks, you can code and deploy them easily with Napkin by just writing code in the editor and clicking "Deploy". With other tools, you usually have to install dependencies on the command line or set up more complex cloud services to do this. You can see an example of the webhook use case with this Slack bot example: https://napkin.wiki/slack

For a static website, there's a lot of great options that don't require a "backend" per se. Vercel and Netlify are great if you use React and/or Next.js. For a no-code solution you can check out Webflow. If you want to just serve static HTML/CSS/Javascript pages, my preference is to do that with just AWS S3 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Hostin...).

"We lost weather stability" (above)

It may be the other way round. This heat bubble thing is too much weather stability. The problem stays around and accumulates. From the original article: "In Lytton, it felt as if the weather itself had stagnated. Trapped in a vast heat dome that enveloped western Canada and the north-western US, temperatures had nowhere to go but up."

Ordinary variance at a slower rate creates a new set of problems.
