If I understand what is being stated correctly; even if I assert a prohibition in my licence for my creative work (code) not to be used by Copilot (or any other machine learning model as training data), it wouldn't matter as its not covered by Copyright?

Companies don't care about employees. They'll probably pay some hush money and consider matter closed.
In a world with perfect play this is true, but in the real world there could still be moves that are good assuming imperfect play by the opponent. That's where things get really interesting.

For example I remember the original alphazero model that had been trained specifically against stockfish, would often take a material sacrifice for some advantage that stockfish couldn't see (e.g. sacrifice a pawn, but their bishop gets locked out of the game). I don't know if these moves were objectively good given perfect play, but they could be the only way to win now (chess is very drawish at the top computer level).
I was confused. "Copilot generates valid secrets" sounds like it can be used to generate new secrets that are valid in format or something. The headline is misleading, even if you personally weren't misled. The secrets are not being generated, they are real secrets appearing in generated code.

They are being generated. It's a Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It's generative. It generates things. That's what this technical term means. It's correct.

I've been a freelance solo software engineer for most of my 21 years in the industry but that world seems to be shrinking. My modus operandi is to grab a VPS and run through a config recipe.

Is there a mistake in this logic: "If you can't figure out how to stop suffering (to no end), you are not actually so smart." ?

In anticipation of objection that the question of one's own suffering is somehow outside the realm of analysis: I am not a Buddhist but having tasted the freedom from emotional suffering that was the result of his (the buddha's) analysis of the situation of being alive and his logical derivation of what then to do about it - from his Program, like Hilbert's, to find the solution to suffering - these days when I think of who is a "genius", I think of the buddha.

That may have been rare genius but in this era you don't need to work the answer out from scratch you only need to be smart enough to notice the problem and research a solution (since at least one exists), hence the claim.
I don't think the difference between 10 and 15 minutes is enough to cause a huge problem in those 1% of situations. There are a lot of happy EV customers that go on multi-day road trips, just as they would in a gas car, without issue. I'm one of them, and will never go back to a fuel based car.

That extra five minutes on road trips is far far far less than the amount of extra time that has cars take day to day, needing to stop at gas stations rather than get plugged in at the garage. The tradeoff is hugely in EVs favor, IMHO.
I came here to read this.
I get the impression that they're not really investing on any grounds more sophisticated than a pump and dump, in that they know their own endorsement increases the price. It's not really the same thing, but it's indistinguishable if you're left holding the bag.

I wish he would have tried to track down if the keys were in a public repo before asking Sendgrid about them. If they turned out to be only on Github private repos, that would be new and interesting info.

Not saying putting keys in a private, but 3rd party hosted repo, is a terrific idea.
Smart contracts don't need to be implemented at the base layer, you can have other layers and protocols and still transact in Bitcoin.

There is rsk, sovryn and rgb on lightning and you can still use Bitcoin with ethereum or other smart contract platforms.

What gets me about it is that the 2/3 transition was just a massive unsolved problem, and one which caused pain over a decade after 3.x was released. Other ecosystems managed to solve it - like Rust for example handles editions in a very sound way - but with Python you had so many problems cropping up over the years over python versions.
The latter. But I can’t say that it was a lot more functional before.
Agreed. This is just another examples of apparent reality that Copilot is obfuscated database than magical generalization of programming concepts
>>Reading this as a person with disability leave a bad taste in my mouth. I wonder what people like this would do if faced with a real lifelong challenge?

I "understand" your point, but you know, as a person who is dealing with depression my whole life i can tell you that depression can be a hard, real, lifelong challange too.

Disability is one of the hardest things to deal with in my opinion, but i learned that it is better to not assume anything about other people struggles. Something that looks small for you may seem unbearable and hard for others and vice versa.
It must be infuriating to know deep down there is no way for you to eradicate Bitcoin. To feel so powerless.

Chia is basically turning wasting electricity into wasting silicium (or whatever tapes/harddrives are made from). Because this "space" needs to be created as well. I don't really see how that is less wasteful in the long run.

I think a big part of the problem is that bundler has been around for ages whereas half of the tools mentioned here didn't even exist just 5-6 years ago.

Which can be seen by this hilarious sentence:

> By default, Python packages are installed with pip install. In reality nobody uses it this way. It installs all your dependencies into one version of Python interpreter which messes up dependencies.

Why hilarious? Because everyone I know uses `pip install` if they're not using poetry. And because poetry is kinda new, that's a lot of people.
If you're looking at in in terms of transaction on the blockchain perhaps, but the reality is that a single transaction on the blockchain actually maps to many other transactions (for example, exchanges batch their outputs, so even though it appears as a single transaction, they could be paying hundreds of people at a time, likewise for lightning or other layers).
I think the difference is that redundant re-calculation is a code smell in any language, at all times, whereas the float/int division issue requires knowledge of Python 2/3 syntax quirks.
I dont know if that true. Just because you are "smart, creative, and capable" does not mean you can predict every possible outcome or be incapable of missing the obvious

I have been on both sides of that, where I have had to point out obvious flaws in an idea to very smart people, and have had clearly obvious flaw pointed out to me in one of my idea's...

I think it is completely possible that some or even all of the issues co-pilot is facing were unknown at the time of release, even if they are obvious to some

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

"Simply"? If it were that simple, surely that would mean that the output of the Unix "cp" program would not qualify? What about a DVD copier?

I'm OK with copyright as it used to be, back when I was a teenager; the right expired with the author's life. Corporations couldn't own copyrights. There was no burden on the author to register their rights. And copyright was a civil matter; you sued for actual damages. Infringement wasn't a crime.

I'm not OK with modern copyright law, with criminal penalties, rights that can be transferred to entities that are essentially immortal, and copyright terms that keep getting extended, just before Mickey Mouse and Elvis Presley become public domain.
This article is pure propaganda, written to help justify to the American public the ludicrous pork-barrel spending that the SLS program really is. It's a "feel good" article designed to make your feel good about your taxpayer dollars being set on fire.

It is chock full of emotional words and phrases to put you in the right frame of mind: "electric", "very emotional", "gratifying", "exciting", "love them all", "amazing", etc...

You know what's amazing? The real story, buried down in paragraph #35:

"NASA doubled down on the RS-25 in May 2020 when it awarded Aerojet Rocketdyne a $1.79 billion contract to produce 18 more RS-25 engines, on top of the six already on order. The combined price between this new RS-25 contract and the earlier one—resulting in a $146 million tab for each single-use SLS engine—has raised critical eyebrows."

For reference, $146M -- per engine -- is three times what it costs to launch a payload to space on the Falcon 9. And there's FOUR of those engines burnt up to launch the SLS each time.

It's not electric, or gratifying, or exciting. It's madness.

Dear me. I hope not. If you look at a map, Burma is nestled between the two nuclear armed up-and-coming superpowers. This is not the part of the world to be seeking adventure by doing political assassinations on military figures.

That sounds almost like the script before WWI.
The cynic in me is thinking that marketing folks at Microsoft/Github are giggling endlessly at all the stories giving them free and extreme publicity. This is enforced by the recent post by Github 'analyzing' the copilot's code regurgitation, instead of retracting and retraining it on more defined subset of codebases.

This thing is worthless at best, annoying at everything and terrifyingly capable of destroying every programmer's productivity at worst. But it will stay, it will grow because stupid execs will keep dreaming of replacing their engineering talent with this, and Microsoft will laugh all the way to the bank.
I think the tone of this page is frustration that this page needs to exist. I think if I had to constantly deal with stuff like this I'd be pretty frustrated too:

> CVS-2019-19317 is an excellent example of a bogus CVE. This CVE describes a bug in an unreleased development version of SQLite. We were working on the new generated columns feature of SQLite, and a third-party hacker found an error in the code under active development, and then wrote a CVE against it. The error was fixed before the problem was ever released, and yet still there is this CVE sitting out there, unresolved, and as far as I can tell unresolveable.

+1. I retie my shoes every time I wear them because I prefer them quite tight, but Ian's secure knot almost never comes untied. I usually only retie while wearing if I didn't tie my shoes tight enough in the first place.

Also on my Solovair boots, I used quick tight lacing [0], which gives you the outer "straight lacing" appearance but also allows you to make the boots very tight without spending 5 minutes to tie them. The main issue with this technique is that the laces can shift, but I marked the center of the laces with a Sharpie to serve as a guide.

Though they could have proofed the small number of handpicked examples on copilot.github.com to see that they compiled/didn't blow up on first run. Or one further, that they did what they were supposed to, in a somewhat reasonable way.

Question for people in the industry: Is it too hard to include a separate audio track that's more suitable for home use where a better emphasis is placed on dialogue?
The exercises are important. I know what he's talking about. There is a mechanism he touches on a few different ways but doesn't mention as what I think is the source of this existential depression. The depression is often caused, as he says, by the loss of something that causes a collapse of an identity, and the solution involves those exercises of establishing yourself with multiple ideas of who you are so that the loss of one thing does not bring the whole thing down.

"Giftedness," itself can be a bit of a curse, because it is a definition of self that originates externally, which you cannot influence or control. It gets you early in childhood, and can be very difficult to unwind. Your giftedness becomes a kind of trap or double bind, where you believe something about yourself but cannot realize or actualize it because the only way to validate it is when other people recognize it. You have to be virtuotic in your talents, your insights must be incisive, your knowledge must be exceptional, and when you feel it isn't (because nobody's always is) the horror creeps in. This is the feeling of lost idenity. It leads to other polarized antipatterns like perfectionism or flakiness, attention seeking, anxiety behaviors and other coping mechanisms.

It's not unique to the so-called gifted at all, but their experience is a model for how the same externally rooted identity causes people to suffer. It's so old that Stoicism , particularly Epictetus, and Buddhism even addressed this idea of attachment to the extenral directly in the pre-psychological language of their times. Today, we might say it was related to a tendency toward forming codependent relationships where one's identity is only validated by it being reflected by someone, and when we lose the person who propped up that idea of self, we disintegrate, as described in the article. Identifying as gifted creates a psychological dependency on seeing that identity being reflected, and an almost infinite need for a source of actualization of that identity.

Managing and extracting personal value from a gifted identity is its own challenge. It's as though people said you were such a clever child you deserved two problems. Personally, I practice being crappy at things. I take lessons in skills and I've been able to fail enough and develop a physical competence that is orthogonal enough to any idea of giftedness that over years I have built a non-gifted accepted self. Education should do it, but even that's not always useful or sufficient.

To expunge that dependent identity, I practice physical things where words and language are meaningless. This is not to just say, "get some exercise, walk it off," (even if that's a necessary condition) it's that the depression hole is caused by waiting for external actuation of your giftedness that never appears and not having the tools to stimulate that part of your identity that isn't even yours, it's just something you were assigned.
I was just joking around, hadn't even seen the joke ads...

It is common to do such things. Remember that you are not the only one who takes on risk; your brokerage is also on the hook if you pile up losses that you cannot cover. Brokerages would rather piss off their customers by forcing them to close positions that, according to the brokerage's analysis, are too risky. Last year a bunch of brokerages raised their margin maintenance requirements on various symbols that were deemed risky in some way (low liquidity, wide bid/ask spreads, etc.), which likely worsened the market crash as even more selling pressure was applied.

Extroverts should not have an issue with this.

I have an extremely hard time motivating myself to go to the gym , but i will play soccer for 2 hours given the chance by kids + SO. The latter effect of complete body exhaustions/soreness is glorious validation you play hard.

Theres also tennis which i dont even tolerate watching. But give me a loving friend of similar skill level, and a racket, and I'll play as long as she/he wants to.
I dont do basketball, but i suspect a good chunk of HN would have a ball doing a 1:1 eith a friend.

Competitive sports are the salvation of the extrovert.

I don't know what the introvert should do, but generally should be the same. You should feel like you are recharging your soul, even though you are putting energy into the endeavor. For this reason i suspect meditation is a better fit for mental health to the introvert. However that does not solve the issue of exercise requirements for the body.

Its a chance to shut down your adult brain and go back to cavemen bliss. Simple problems (hit the ball, etc) are relaxing - they silence the monkey on your head.

Note: I'm not sure if sports are a good solution for exercise to competitive folk. It may not end up being as relaxing to you... or your sport friends.
Iirc Allen Watts likened obsessively thinking about yourself to two monitors facing each other (highlighting the discordant feedback).

While I still have cringe-moments when I remember things I've done (as a kid, 10 years ago, whenever), I try to remember that I am what I'm doing. For me, it puts legs on the concept of remaining in the present. Whatever self others ascribe to me, that's fine, but I don't have live by those expectations. When I'm folding clothes, brushing my teeth, writing something, taking care of the dogs, etc., I'm no more or less than what I'm doing. It eases my mind and lets me focus on the given task. With practice, I don't have to think of it as much. It becomes the natural way to approach things, but there are still times when I have to remind myself.
You mentioned "fashion" twice. I think as an industry we need to re-evaluate why it is so important for candidates to be "fashionable" compared to being smart, reliable, experienced, or efficient. Why is a new grad with 1-2 years of experience and only knows React so much more successful finding work than someone with 20 years of experience programming in eight different languages and in companies ranging from a 10 person startup to a 10K person mega-company?
Management or business/data analyst. Half the time these people are just glorified middlemen that get paid decent wages and just look at excel or support some obscure piece of software without dealing with programming stuff. I am in a fairly large company actually it has never been more prevalent to me that many of these people's jobs could be done by literally anyone. If you know programming and don't mind engaging with people, these are the sweet spot for you.
