You meant Felix Dennis, but to your original point, "How to get Rich" (and its follow up "The Narrow Road") drive home the same point. Maintain full control at all times. That includes term sheets with clauses that they will bring on an "independent" board member to settle performance-related issues (but really, they represent the investors). Fight nail and tooth for every equity point you're giving out. For a good case study, see Mark Zuckerberg, who would have been voted long ago if he did aggressively maintain control.
AlexNet came out 2012, less less than 10 years ago.

Going from AlexNet to, say, self driving cars in under ten years sounds insane to me. This is only the beginning.
Better than the meme of someone saying they sometimes can't concentrate or suffer from some other extremely common problem, and hordes of people respond with, "you obviously have ADHD."
You are very correct! I believe I mixed it up with Stones of Significance. Thank you for the correction.
> I think they meant “when the output of the machine is significantly original/transformed (i.e. is a new creative work).”

No; the author spends some time asserting that the output of a machine is inherently not a creative work:

> Machine-generated code is not a derivative work

> the argument that the outputs of GitHub Copilot are derivative works of the training data is based on the assumption that a machine can produce works. This assumption is wrong and counterproductive.

> This means that machine-generated code like that of GitHub Copilot is not a work under copyright law at all
If OP didn't use the word RSS and said "atom feeds" I wouldn't know what they're talking about, so I recommend keep calling it RSS.
I have been like this all my life (39 years). When I was a kid my dad used to play us some children LPs. My brother and I sat down to listen to those stories.

As I grew up, I kept actively listening to music, (both classica/baroque that my dad played on CDs or heavy metal music I loved). Same thing happened with TV/movies.

Nowadays, my wife loves to turn on the TV when we are eating just as "background noise" but darn I find it difficult to focus on eaeting/table-conversation vs whatever is in the TV. For me music and TV have always been mindful activities.

>It's actually kind of bizarre that such a rich artform is so often relegated to background accompaniment for some other task

This is so true, and also sad. I used to go to the Gewandhaus Leipzig in Germany to listen to live classical music concert. The appreciation of richness of a lot of music is being lost.
If you don't like the inflation of the governments currency, just build your own. (Thats the libertarian argument when it comes to everything else privatized, e.g. roads, no?)

A (preprint) study published today by researchers at nference and the Mayo Clinic looked at the genetic variation of breakthrough infections versus infections in unvaccinated patients and found that the viruses in breakthrough cases had significantly lower diversity. Per the abstract, this suggests that COVID-19 vaccines also restrict the evolutionary and antigenic escape pathways available to SARS-CoV-2.[0]

This changes from time to time, of course, but when last I investigated, around two years ago, consensus was that it mostly wouldn’t do JavaScript until you nudged it into doing so in some way that I forget, and that it was always slower to index/update if it needed to do JavaScript.

(For my part, I disable JavaScript by default for various reasons, mostly performance, and it’s decidedly uncommon for a general-internet site to be completely broken by it. Sites that get posted on HN are disproportionately JS-dependent, especially if they’re new.)

Taxes are less destructive than radically restructuring the entire economy, which most UBI advocates seem to want to do.

Median household income in the US is significantly higher than any EU country except Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. I think most Americans who complain incessantly about how "third world" America is view Europe through rose-colored glasses. Any third-world aspects of the US (which do exist) are not caused by our economic policies.

First, I did not come up with the term "code laundering." I cannot claim credit for that; I saw it first on HN on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27729209 somewhere.

Second, you are correct that Copilot's maintainers claim that it bypasses copyright, but if it does while producing exact copies of code, then copyright is dead, and there are a lot of big companies out there with deep pockets that will ensure that doesn't happen.

They may claim that because their algorithm is a black box, that whatever it produces has no copyright, but my licenses will push back directly on that claim by saying that if source code under the license is used as all or part of the inputs to an algorithm, whether all of the source code or partially, then the license terms must be attached to the output. After all, that's what we do with GPL and binary code. The binary code is the output of an algorithm (the compiler) whose input was the source code.

I hope by tying it together like that, the terms can close the loophole they are claiming. But of course, I am going to get a lawyer to help me with those licenses.

Video calls are as pointless as the requirement for face time. If your team members require constant vigilance to be effective, you need to get a new team. If your manager requires face time, your manager needs to reconsider what their purpose is.

Some interesting quotes from the presentation:

"frankly, most hardware engineers don't really get passed this yellow [Chisel learning] curve"

"Chisel makes the long pole of chip design longer"

"the productivity gains we might have had on the design side were more than lost on the verification side"

"It might be a hard sell for other projects to adopt Chisel [...] there were a buch of dark periods, mostly".

>You are the outlier of the outlier.

I don't think I am. Camping vacations in Europe are very common. 1500 km in two days really isn't as uncommon as you might think. For clarity, I'm not saying it can't be done with an EV, I'm just saying the relatively many, long, mandatory breaks aren't nearly as convenient as the relatively few short ones that regular cars, and perhaps in the future, hydrogen cars, offer.

And again, taking a quick break to stretch your legs a bit, is not the same as needing to take a 20 minute break in order to be able to continue your journey. This might seem like a small detail but I really don't think it is.
But the fact that it did that at all should be proof that Copilot is, in fact, copy and pasting rather than actually learning and producing new things using intelligence.

This is a code search engine with the ability to integrate search results into your language syntax and program structure. The database is just stored in the neural network.

It’s definitely an impressive and interesting project with useful applications, but it’s not an excuse to violate people’s rights.
The User Agent trick is a good one that I should've tried, but I just checked and it didn't work for this one. Parsing actual JSON wasn't really an option, as I wanted to be able to quickly and easily add RSS feeds.

Possibly SEO is less a concern for the type of website I initially made this for, i.e. Dutch real estate agents. Most people find their listings through funda.nl rather than through search engines; I was just hoping to see them listed before they got posted there.

Many people have more than a billion, and I can't really think of any sort of luxury you get with 10 billion you can't easily have with 1B. Above the 1B mark you are solely holding wealth to further manipulation of macro-level power structures to your advantage. UBI is a means to forcibly redistribute anything above a certain "unlimited life of luxury" threshold to keep it below oligarchy.

Also, I want fun, cool, tech and if the masses are being put out of work by fun, cool, tech we will have problems, and thereby see far less fun, cool, tech.
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve wrestled with existential questions my whole life. This is one of the best explanations for our existence that I’ve seen. Simple, and meaningful. I also love that this explanation also gives you a framework to live by. Meaning and purpose are arbitrary, but that’s really the value in them. You choose to make your life valuable. Would you really want it any other way?
“SSL” is finally dying as a term; the significant majority of what I see calls it TLS now.

But the problem didn’t exist in the same way with SSL/TLS: SSL was actively killed off in favour of TLS so that regardless of what you call it, you’re actually dealing with TLS. But with feeds, RSS is still supported, and so the mindshare problem happens: people hear about RSS and so implement the inferior and problematic RSS rather than Atom, because they’ve never even heard of Atom and so don’t know that it’s what they should have implemented instead, because it’s more robust. Calling feeds RSS perpetuates RSS, which is undesirable.

I say just advertise it as “feeds”, not “RSS feeds”. Atom is an implementation detail, just like RSS should be. (Well, RSS should be dead in general feeds, with only podcast feeds keeping it alive.)
My guess? By adapting the UBI to local salaries and living costs. Kind of like Amazon is obviously paying more Luxembourg or Munich than Poland.
I assume the hypothesis is that the potential benefits would be spread too thin across the population to be considered particularly valuable.

Something I've been thinking about is how are addicts and mentally ill detected/addressed in a UBI society? Today it becomes apparent because when you have issues you tend to lose your job and have to join job seeking programs and/or contact social services. With UBI you could just fall through the cracks undetected. Has this been addressed by someone?

Kernel scheduling is NUMA aware and will localize workloads.
Threads will mostly have their RAM on the sticks local to their node. The core the thread is delegated to is also more likely to be the core local to the disk or NIC being used for IO.

This is at least my experience, though I am no expert.
Just technology. Visible light can use materials that are relatively straightforward: Glass, pure silica, and some other things can be made transparent to visible light. Silicon is friendly as a detector material. Getting materials, detectors, and light sources, to work at shorter and shorter wavelengths is a technological hurdle. Not insurmountable, but hard.
Which makes sense. The point of branding is to enable a faceless assemblage of processes and relationships (otherwise known as a "company") to engage and interact with potential consumers. Branding is an interface between the human and inhuman, and it's always going to be at least as complex as any person-to-people parasocial relationship would be, and probably more so on average.

They may not see the vaccine as an issue of 'cold and wet' as you deem getting the vaccine to be, keep that in mind. As misguided as it may be.

This is now the 2nd "clarification" that Muse group, the new team in charge of Audacity, has recently put out - the first one being here[0]. At this point, it's clear that they are taking the product in an unpopular direction. So why keep pushing an online-first privacy policy and telemetry? Certainly it is not one of the pressing needs of the core product.

Honestly, it will take some convincing to make me think this isn't nefarious at this point. At a minimum, the community is not being listened to, just placated.

The RISC-V ISA specifically allows for custom extensions.

Unfortunately, the licensing model does require the implementations to be FLOSS. This encourages creating a lot of closed stuff with different and incompatible extensions.
Maaaaybe.

There are definitely resources which are globally unique. But that does not necessarily follow that access should also be global.

Rust has some elegant patterns when working with embedded devices. For example GPIO pins could totally be stateful globals. But instead their passed around as types and Rust’s type system + borrow checker ensure correctness. It’s pretty neat.

I’ll assume you’re right for databases. My expertise is real-time VR video game type stuff. Which is also high-performance, but of a different variety.

I strongly agree that layers of abstraction compound into convoluted and inscrutable garbage. I loathe web development for this very reason.

The same could be said for the linux kernel, and yet we still run all of our software on it.
That is the concern about variants. When that happens, the vaccine will need to be adjusted. Fortunately for mRNA vaccines that is relatively easy.
Indeed, but they're not intended to. Nothing about Copilot's specs even claims it's generating optimally-performant code. And the Python example indicates why that may not even be a desirable output (most performant and most readable are orthogonal metrics).
I'd recommend using the tools I used for this directly if you're looking to do this. Playwright in particular: https://playwright.dev

I listened to a Tulsi Gabbard interview, and she said that was one of the reasons Obamacare seems half-assed. She said that the Democrats and Republicans both had opportunities to make compromises that would have benefited everyone, but they decided not to work together because it gives both parties something simple to argue about during election season. Democrats get to say "Obamacare sucks because Republicans are holding it back", and Republicans get to say "Obamacare is another big government program that doesn't even do what they said it would". Both parties are right, and both parties have no desire to fix it.
Thanks for the comments! A few quick notes

The term serverless is a bit overloaded. Here's what we want.
(1) Ray users should be able to focus only on their application logic and not have to worry about configuring clusters at least in the common case (this is not saying that they can't configure clusters if they want to).
(2) In addition, we want Ray applications to be portable and to run on different size clusters with different instance types on different cloud providers or k8s or your laptop or anywhere. The application should be decoupled from the cluster configuration.
(3) Great support for autoscaling Ray clusters. When a Ray application needs more resources of a certain type (CPUs, GPUs, memory, etc), those resources should be added to the cluster. When they are no longer needed, the cluster should scale down.

This is quite different from FaaS, though seems in line with the spirit of serverless. And these "serverless" properties are not something we think of as separate from Ray, but rather as part of just making Ray work better.
> I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke.

No they'll find more and more examples of the joke, and so keep thinking it's real, but never any explanation.
I feel like there's an uncanny valley.

If you know a little bit of math, there's no benefit.

If you know enough math to jump to e.g. medical imaging, robotics, controls, simulators, image processing, ML, or similar, there's a ton of benefit.

An EE degree ought to give enough background to get there, although it may involve a year or two of study in a particular domain, and a side project to prove you have the skills.
It's not the first time I'm seeing a q&a with Hoare. Every time someone asks "but how exactly did you figure out quicksort?". He must have heard that a hundred times by now. He should come up with a fake but catchy story, like the Newton gravity apple :)
no. what he seems to be saying is that modern defense contractors waste a lot in order to hide their true activity/product.
I understand your concerns.

Honestly, with this whole debacle, I am not going to be accepting outside contributions anyway.

I also understand the concern with a problematic license. However, I don't plan to make a specific exemption about machine learning, but rather tie up an ambiguity.

What I think I'll do is that the license will require that when the licensed source code is used, partially or fully, as an input to an algorithm, the license terms must be distributed with the output of that algorithm.

I don't think this is a violation of the GPL at all because the GPL requires you to distribute the license with the binary code of GPL'ed code, and such binary code is the output of an algorithm (the compiler) whose input was the source code.

But what it would do is put the onus on GitHub that, if they used my code in training that data, if they distributed the results (as they are doing), they must distribute my license terms as well and tell users that some of the results are under those terms.

> Most extant forms of welfare exist because at the time of their creation they allowed some group of politicans to buy the votes of some subset of the population.

I think this isn't true. The UK got single-payer healthcare (with the creation of the NHS under the postwar Labour government) because it was felt that a national regime could deliver better health outcomes, following the experience of WW2. The NHS was enormously popular, thus it was embraced by the Conservatives, who beat Labour in the next election.

This is normal: successful welfare policies do not grant the party that introduced them lasting popularity and competent politicians understand this. A better model is that they are introduced because the party base wants the party to do it.
That logo of money changing hands makes a bad impression IMHO. It made me laugh, but I doubt that's their goal. It seems like self-parody, though I'm sure it's not.
Well, in the U.S. we're practically out of capitalist ways to subjugate people to the point that we have people being paid pennies an hour to work in overcrowded, for-profit, prisons. Likewise, one of the biggest, and most brutal, prison systems in the world, which just so happens to be disproportionally full of people who's ancestors were slaves.

So, let's try some new forms of subjugation at least as you'd have to be incredibly creative to find new ways of capitalist oppression.
