> It's very easy: don't use copilot

Fixed that for you.

Verbatim isn't the problem / solution. If you take a GPL'ed library and rename all symbols and variables, the output is still a GPL'ed library.

Just seeing the output of GPL'ed code spitted by copilot and writing different code "inspired" by it can result in GPL'ed code. That's why "clean room"s exist.

Copilot is going to make for a very interesting to follow law case, because probably until somebody sues, and courts decide, nobody will have a definitive answer of whether it is safe to use or not.

It should only be possible on ccTLDs, this is not possible on newer gTLDs due to ICANN rules and I think no classic gTLD has it.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40358071/4418149
I think part of the problem is that the noun form "nation" easily becomes the adjective form "national" (something the author briefly alludes to). "State" as an adjective kind of works, but often means literally owned by the legal entity of the state rather than representing the people within it. It's also tainted by its prominence in Marxist rhetoric and subsequent overuse e.g. in USSR. "Countrial" is not a word, while "imperial" or "hegemonic" would require admissions few are willing to make. "American" is the only significant alternative, even though it has its own rather obvious problems. Thus, many things are called "national" even though that's technically inaccurate, and when people hear "national" they assume the existence of a "nation" to go with it.

Thanks a lot! Yes currently those things definitely are beneficial and necessary at production scale; however, we're hoping we can chip away bit by bit at the need to configure these things yourself, starting with basic server(less) configuration.
Democracy, am I right?
It looks like the author of the linked tweet intended for it to reproduce the Quake code, by using the exact same function name and comment. Whatever the merits of CoPilot, in this case the human intended to write the quake function into their file, and put the wrong license on it.
I disagree about the framing of both of these points.

As another has pointed out, Delaware has an alternate way of calculating this tax which requires no adjustment of your share count. And no business entity is tied to any bank.

Yes, you should be aware of it. Yes, it would be nice if Atlas made you aware of it. I'm just not sure what the expectation is.

To me, forming business entities is easier than using the internet, and all the lawyers involved are for people that would also have trouble using the internet. This is a reductive analogy as I don't mean "the internet" as helping you find the answers, only in the sense that technophobes would also need hand holding in other areas like business formation.

I don't find it to be Atlas' role in helping this here, it can, it's just puzzling to me that there is an audience for that. But again, they could patch this.
I've noticed that AI-generated images give me a weird, 'skin crawling' sensation. Somewhat similar to nails on a chalkboard. Does anyone else experience this?
You don’t need to sacrifice performance on mobile if you make a web app. People choose to sacrifice it because optimizing it well requires care.
In practice this has not been a problem. It's like saying you can't put unsubscribe links in emails because a bot will click on it... You just simply design the software so that doesn't happen.

Like I said, I've used a similar service that only allows you to view the secret once and I've used it dozens of times with no problems.
Thank you, this was the talk I was referring to. I had forgotten the exact name. Entertaining yet worrying.
Ah yes, it must have been the virus of communism that caused this. Red-blooded Americans who are pure of heart are not tempted by the siren songs of careerism, cronyism, nationalism, or corruption.
What are good cheap options for frames?
You're implying this is a minor development. It's really not.

Edward Snowden said: "This is the end of the case against Julian Assange."

https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1408847450656415751

I find it hard to believe the media would be silent if similar revelations came to light about anyone else.

I agree with Media Lens:

> in a sane world, Stundin’s revelations about a key Assange witness – that Thordarson lied in exchange for immunity from prosecution – would have been headline news everywhere, with extensive media coverage on BBC News at Six and Ten, ITV News, Channel 4 News, front-page stories in the Times, Telegraph, the Guardian and more. The silence is quite extraordinary; and disturbing.
What options do developers have for things like unit testing and organization as code bases scale? Are we restricted to a single “file” per endpoint? Is local development an option at all?
> Personally I think we could probably trace it back to soviet infiltration of the university education system around the world in the 60's and 70's, which within a lifetime has produced multiple generations of nihilistic bureaucrats trained to seek power for its own sake, and now they occupy our institutions at all levels and have used them to destroy the foundations of the culture and seize its means of production

...

...what?
Yeah it's the complete opposite of niche. It's the fundamental understanding of processes, signals, syscalls, memory that every modern computing system is based upon.
I'm sorry, but pinning this on soviet infiltration is hilarious and is ironically the result of the exact debasement and exploitation you decry.

In reality, this kind of thing has been going on in the US since the late 19th century. It's a 100% normal thing and there is absolutely no need for an ebil gommunist boogeyman for it.

What you're seeing is those precious institutions operating as intended and as they always did. Just like they do pretty much everywhere.
Then write the code yourself. It's not like you're forced to use this demo.
A slightly more general rule than the pagination one:

Always return objects from a JSON api. (never an array, never just a boolean, etc.)

You are going to need to add something even if it isn't pagination.
You just auto-redirect all emails from the old address to the new one. Then, whenever a new email comes from some service, you change the connected email in it. After a year all relevant services will be transferred. Non-relevant emails will stay on the old account for quite some time, which is not a big deal.
Then why are you complaining? Unless something is new that warrants you getting mad about people getting mad at technology.
License Laundering

Like Money Laundering for cash equivalents, or Trust-Washing for disinformation, but for hijacking software IP.

It might not be the intended use case, but that winds up being the practical result.

(on a related note, it would make me want to fun GPT-* output through plagiarism filters, but maybe they already do that before outputting?)
I subscribe to Tom Scott's youtube channel and I wondered how did I miss the video you are talking about.

I get emails through to my GSuite inbox from senders that I've marked as spam repeatedly (10+ times). Same from email. Same subject style and format. And they still get through. Makes me really curious about what they're doing to get through.

90% of the spam that escapes my spam folder is web design pitches from email addresses of the format firstnamelastname123@gmail.com - always GMail...

It doesn't make you "employable". It does make you incredibly valuable once you're inside. Being able to debug systems and being able to talk to other teams working on different levels of abstraction are both incredibly important skills.
So what I'm reading here is that "Tay for code" is maybe going to need to be rethought and perhaps trained differently?
Changing emails is potentially dangerous, but I have started doing it anyway. I have taken the “slow migration” track. Every time I log in to a site that uses my old email, I update it to the new one (it is too time consuming/tedious to update every login in one go). I also automatically forward my old email address to the new one so I don't miss anything. I respond with the new one in hopes that others will start using it in the future.

If changing emails is a pressing matter, you could set up a vacation response in your old email and tell people where they should reach you in the future. Then, you need to change all login information for everything. It's a good idea to retain access to your old email for as long as possible in case you forget to change a login, need to reset a password, recover an old account, etc. It is also nice to make sure people who don't have your new email can still reach you.

Because switching emails was not urgent for me, I've chosen to slowly migrate. This process would be a lot harder if I had not been using a password manager.
> prior to about 2015 when most of the world didn't have access to the internet.

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not...

Let's say that it's doing exactly what it was trained to do.

Bee keeping used to be a very popular activity but has since fallen out of favor, most likely due to an effect of population density. Reach out to your local clubs.

Depends. If you find useful code on Github, Stack Overflow or anywhere else in the internet, you still need to check whether it is suitable with your licensing or not.

> That charge could be completely removed from the case and he would still be on trial for the other charges.

That charge was completely absent from the case until the US decided it needed to strengthen its case and added it last-minute. So clearly they disagree with you, otherwise they would have kept it out (knowing the background of the individual involved). And again, why would the judge refer to it specifically in siding with the US if it were so unimportant?

Is Copilot aimed at programmers or at non-technical hiring managers?

I mean, it goes right away with the devaluing narrative of programming that is going around from the last couple of years. To the "anyone can code" narrative we are adding "more so, if they have AI assisted Copilot"
Interesting. Thanks for your assessment.

My impression was that the author thought of the US as a hegemony Which explains more about the relationship between the US and other areas of the world. The explanation that you laid out regarding civics explains more of the way that people within the United States see themselves. I am not a political science expert, but these definitely seem like two different concepts.

It would’ve been nice for the author to have expressed the importance of why he was making the distinction earlier in the article. I found the article to be quite obtuse.

Say what you like about COBOL, but it got this stuff right.
This is a remarkable projection, for a couple of reasons.

First, it was invented by a highly influential 19th-Century American philosopher.

Second, it's a conformal† projection that can be infinitely tiled in every direction.

Third, some really crazy things occur at four points on the equator. At these points, if you're traveling straight along the equator in the real world, you make a sudden 90-degree turn on the map. If you travel straight ahead on the map, you've actually done a sharp 180-degree turn in real life. If you make one circle on the map around one of these points, you've actually gone around the point twice in real life. All this strange behavior has to do with the fact that at these four precise points, the map is actually not conformal.

† Conformal projections preserve shapes locally. That means that in any small region of the map, a shape drawn on the ground will retain its shape when projected onto the map. It will be scaled up or down in size, but it won't be stretched along only one axis or sheared.
I happen to be fairly engaged in the "diversity" space and I've worked in a few large tech companies myself. Google is not the only company trying hard. But Google is extremely data and metrics centric, and I think this aspect of their culture is one thing making a positive difference here. Also, there are more Google employees working on this problem than the entire staff of some medium sized companies.

What I'm trying to say is that this is a hard problem and perhaps this attrition, paradoxically, is an unexpected consequence of trying to to tackle the problem head on - rather than lack of effort and investment in trying to solve it.
Do we know if Cliff uses Amazon as a retailer or as a platform?

> There are multitude of options to use as an alternative to Amazon.

Network effects still matter. Sellers won't maintain presence on every retail site.
“ the ends justify the means.”

I do agree that this sentiment now extends to almost all power and influence institutions.

News outlets produce stories solely as a commodity to influence behavior on behalf of large corporations (paid) or government entities. Journalism integrity is at a all time low in the US and honestly doesn’t look good moving into the future.

Really kind of dystopian :/
> Assange embarrassed key members of a certain American political party and likely cost them an entire election

Other people embarrass the GOP on a daily basis and they have daily nightly TV news shows.

If you mean the other political party - they have a habit of losing elections because they don't fight dirty..., so I just don't see how that's a coherent argument.

Now, if you're referring to _the establishment_, that's different - and it's not a political party _per se_.
> Meanwhile, the FBI were allegedly complicit in DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks on the websites of several Iceland government institutions. The FBI had then approached Icelandic authorities, promising to assist them in preventing any future such attacks. In reality, the approach was a ruse to fool Iceland into cooperation in an attempt to entrap Assange.

The FBI is a criminal organisation.

I think you are missing the point entirely, I am saying that there is a thing called collective military knowledge, The Spanish had experience in fighting wars for many years. This knowledge of tactics and techniques is passed on through training.
Nice writeup. I am running betas on macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. I have not tried Shortcuts and Focus yet, looking forward to that.

I like the new Safari changes a lot, but I usually only have two or three tabs open - I find having many tabs open is like living in a messy house.

I have suffered getting my development system fully functional on Monterey and M1. I can’t run a private patch to get LispWorks running because I need a pre-Monterey Mac to run the patch. It took a while getting SBCL running. Anyway, I have a workable setup with Aquamacs and SBCL.

I find that even dev tools like Haskell that run in Rosetta mode are much faster on the M1 Macs and using native M1 Java, Python, Swift, etc. all are faster and makes programming a bit more fun. I am not a UI developer but still I am having fun building a iOS/iPadOS/macOS app using the new SwiftUI 2.

All in all, I really like the more unified experience across Apple devices.
Oh wow, I remember jarland from LowEndTalk.com, can definitely vouch for him. Quite an interesting interview with him about MXroute there: https://lowendbox.com/blog/interview-qa-with-mxroute-owner-j...
email newsletter are to me just a “blog posts with email notification”, they are difficult to filter, difficult to search and makes the inbox filled with less important stuff, i think there is a gap in the market for some sort of a solution, maybe a service that sends all your newsletters to “Notion” so you can search them ;) what do you think?
I will post an example here but I am just waiting npm install to finish in order to test if the code works. Get back soon..
Much love for openRGB! Made my old ROG laptop so much fun! Having specific keys light up specific colors.

Yet another case where the vendor specific software was complete garbage, but FOSS to the rescue.

I also remember being able to make my PS4 controller LED change brightness and colors/shades/blinking, etc on release, and I don't think you can do that on a PS4 to this day.
> I would be hard pressed to even consider it 100% honey as the original source could very well not be from organic sources.

Because English is weird, I'm not sure if you mean organic as in from plant/animal I would be hard pressed to even consider it 100% honey as the original source could very well not be from organic sources (yes, bees will make honey from animal sources, such as wood lice) or "not sprayed with pesticides".

In Denmark Chinese honey is mostly known as "fake honey" because it's made by bee, but from sugar water, and not nectar.

Organic honey, as in "not sprayed" is almost impossible to make in Denmark, as it requires a 3km radius from there hive, where no chemicals can be used. While in Sweden, as an example, it just has to be primarily organic, as in as long as no chemicals are used directly in front of the hive, you're allowed to label it "Organic".
Why would you want to move farmers to cities where they cant farm? who would do the farming then? why not just pay farmers what you would pay a factory worker in the city?

Trying to force this doesn't make sense to me.
IP is not a natural law. If a country doesn't want to enforce literal state control over your intellectual process or wants to enforce it in a more lax way, there is nothing wrong with that.
If you use it as a programming partner it will simply autofill whatever you're writing line-by-line. You're not forced to use code completion at a whole-function level and it's not even the suggested use-case.
I agree with you. This is basically similar to autocomplete on cellphone keyboard (useful because typing is hard on cellphone), but for programming (useful because what we type tends to involve more memorization than prose).
So I guess we can just copy around copyrighted source now?
Great! Now we can share all the proprietary driver and DSP code from Qualcomm.
OP here. Here’s a quick summary about what we’re building:

We centralize the main features of your everyday tools (PRs, CI, Kanban tasks) and build a live feed of everything happening within your development teams. Essentially, we aggregate a "quick view" of your team's development status and give you a way to manage tasks directly from our platform.

We just opened up beta testing and anyone can create an account here. We're still quite early, so it takes about 10 minutes to get your tools connected: https://preview.hetchr.com/signup

Currently, we have integrated Github Issues, Github Pull Requests, Jira, and two native Hetchr ATOMs. Next on the list are CircleCI / Github Actions / Jenkins.

Some additional notes if you'd like to try it out:

- The only data we permanently store is your name, email, and authentication credential. While using Hetchr, we only collect and store locally the data necessary to display your workspace. For Jira, we access/store your project's configurations and the issues. For Github, we access/store your Issues and Pull Requests' comments (not the code). You can delete your account and any associated data in the setting section.

- In order to install our Jira ATOM, you must be the Jira administrator and in order to install our Github ATOMs, you must be the repo owner.

Thanks for taking a look! I’d love to hear your thoughts and I’m happy to answer questions.

Here's our Slack group if you’d prefer to chat directly:

> Also, most of the issues will not be with obscure email servers, they will be with Outlook and Gmail. When you send email, you will never know if your email will be delivered to inbox, delivered to spam folder, or blackholed entirely.

In my personal experience, over five years of running my own business and personal email entirely and another decade and counting since of running PBXes that directly send voicemail messages, Gmail has only explicitly blocked me once, and that was 100% legitimate because the site the PBX was located at had an infected PC. It occasionally will filter messages to the spam folder, but that almost always means one of the users actually flagged a message.

I could send an email to myself from a bogus address via raw SMTP over Telnet to port 25 and I'd be willing to bet my week's pay that Gmail delivers it. They might mark it as spam, but they deliver reliably.

Microsoft on the other hand is a massive pain in my ass. They usually work, but about 4-5 times a year they seem to randomly pick one of my systems to treat as suspicious and block emails from. The process listed in their block message always works, but it's annoying to have to deal with regularly, especially with no rhyme or reason.

Yahoo is the worst, they straight up block everything I do with no recourse. I have one user who insists on using his Yahoo email and I basically had to tell him we don't care that Yahoo won't accept messages.
Let's not kid ourselves, outside of a vanishingly small minority of people who consume independent or leftist media this is not a story. The rough spots are still only rough at a microscopic scale.
It's pushed because Apple is seen as less privacy intrusive.
Unit testing - no unit testing yet but you can test out mock request data by using the Run Options tab in the Napkin editor.
Organization - folders and workspaces coming soon, but if you have any other ideas for this we'd love to hear it!
Right now you are restricted to single "file" per endpoint. In the future we plan to enable Napkin functions to reference each other which we hope will mitigate some of this limitation.
Local development is not currently an option; however, we plan to add Github integration some time this year, which would enable this. How we prioritize it will depend on how many users ask for it.

Thanks so much for the questions!
Yeah just like those American mass famines after the revolutionary war. Completely inevitable.
