> the market will force them to make many similar decisions to private corporations

I'm curious which decisions you believe will be forced. The cases I can think of (particularly around "engagement" since I've been reading about that lately) are decisions that derive from deeper decisions (building your business around selling ads) that are at some point within a company's control.

And it may be that the company will need to make decisions employees don't like even if they're the ones who have to make the decisions, but at least then they're involved in the decision-making process rather than having it dictated to them.

> This is why we need a consciously planned economy. We cannot be free without the ability to make meaningful decisions.

At face value this sounds like an oxymoron to me. A planned economy is planned by someone. Then those living with that economy are beholden to the one(s) doing the planning, who will naturally be motivated to plan in their own favor to the detriment of others. Some mechanism would need to be applied to counteract the natural self-interest of the planner(s).

Totally innocuous. I mean, who doesn't write vague messages about pizza and pasta? Who doesn't collect art depicting stylized child abuse? Who isn't friends with convicted child molesters? It's all merely a coincidence.

Of course it's impossible to get direct prosecution from any leaks of vague messages. That doesn't mean they aren't nefarious or shadowy.

I understand how you think the world works. I’m saying that it doesn’t work that way.

You can verify what you _think_ the profits are. What I’m saying is that you’re verifying something that isn’t relevant.

Do you think there aren’t sophisticated accounting systems, auditors, banking checks, etc to accomplish what you describe? And yet people will always find a way with enough incentive.
I think what the parent is stating is that even though the patent questions can have debate, once you settle the question "Is it Novel" as yes or no you can determine if the item is patentable... wheras for fair-use, the questions themselves aren't yes/no questions, and further, they are just used as balancing factors, so even if everyone agrees on "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work" it's only weighed as a factor for how fair the use is, and broadly left up to the hand-waving of the particular judge.

> However - Copilot directly recites code.

You make that statement as an absolute, but in the interests of clarity, all evidence so far shows that it directly recites code very rarely indeed. Even the Quake example had to be prompted by the specific variable names used in the original code.

In practice, the output code is heavily influenced by your own context — the comments you include, the variable names you use, even the name of the file you are editing — and with use it’s obvious that the code is almost certainly not a direct recitation of any existing code.
It doesn't have to be a first-party statement to be considered "compelled speech".

It is pretty reasonable for conversations to have moderation, just as private groups can do in person, and as publications have editors.

It is not yet clear how social media fits into the platform/publisher/utility/whatever debate, but I'm just saying that we should be careful. Whatever we decide applies to Facebook/Twitter now will apply to some other company you or I create in the next decade.

It's worth noting that regardless of this development, hydrogen fuel cells still do not work well in sub-zero temperatures unless they are operated in perpetuum.

When you decide to shut down your fuel cell and the temperature of the system drops below zero, water will freeze on your micron-thick platinum catalyst; cracking it, and rendering the entire fuel cell useless.

yeah the battery only lasts 24 hours, though I suspect we could eventually implement a low-power mode in our firmware to stretch that quite a bit. To be honest, I'm also not sure to what extend we want to over index black-swan events [1] as part of our product roadmap.

Your second point about GCP/AWS/Azure going down is really valid. When we started the company, we saw a few off-the-shelf gateways that relied on a permanent MQTT connection to function correctly, and from our Sonder experience, we knew that this was a non-starter for some of our early customers. Instead, we ended up creating our own hub and we run a ton of logic that runs entirely locally. For example, if an Airbnb reservation comes in, the hub immediately receives the door lock programming instructions even if the reservation is far out in the future. Our hub doesn't program the lock yet, but when the reservation time window arrives, the lock gets programmed by the hub irrespective of whether the internet or AWS is up/down.

[1] well at this point, it's questionable whether we should refer to, for example, wildfires as Black Swan events. But I think you'll agree that most people aren't interested in touring a new home or staying at an Airbnb when the town next door is on fire...

People here are linking to pfSense's past misbehavior wrt OPNsense. I used to use pfSense knowing about that but not caring. But what motivated me to switch to OPNsense was much more basic:

- https://www.netgate.com/blog/announcing-pfsense-plus

- https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-plus-pfsense-ce-dev-ins...

If you're using pfSense CE you're using an EOL product, so you should move to OPNsense just for that reason alone.

Those two posts try to convince you that CE is still relevant and will still get releases, but read carefully and you realize any changes to CE will either be by third parties or those that were part of the base FreeBSD system and thus were upstreamed to FreeBSD anyway. All the actual development work will be for Plus, and the design of Plus is sufficiently divergent (UI backend rewritten from PHP to golang apparently) that you can't backport the work to CE either.

Plus will be free for home use (and hopefully remain so), but won't be open source. Not that CE is all that open source either, but at least you can read and modify the PHP scripts in your installation.

Another reason people stayed off OPNsense was that it was based on HardenedBSD instead of FreeBSD, however that changed a few months ago so that should no longer be a concern.

I don't care what they were or weren't censoring. Twitter and other social media giants are trying to become the arbiters of truth in this world and control much of the flow of information over the internet. A foreign entity with no responsibilities, checks or even connection to the local people should not have such power imo. I look at twitter censoring or promoting pro/anti govt. hashtags/accounts as election meddling. So I'm happy that they're forced to have an accountable local presence.

This comment makes it seem like you've never worked with a contractor.

I come from a family of contractors (electricians and metalworkers mostly), and every experience I've ever had working with them tell me that they care about understanding. If you ask them to make you a bathroom without any waterproofing they'll ask you if you've gone mad and tell you that you NEED waterproofing, because they understand that you don't want your house to rot. If you say you want a metal frame and you have a drawing. The very first step they will take is to analyze your drawing to see if it makes any sense.

I have never worked with a contractor that just did whatever you told them to, without understanding what you're doing. If they chose to disengage with a problem, it's a conscious choice.

The big differentiator is the ease of understanding. Building a bathroom is relatable. You kinds of intuitively understand why you want a new bathroom, and people understand the sorts of issues a new bathroom can solve. People do NOT understand what new software can solve, and how it solves it. They think software is magic pixie dust that you sprinkle on problems to make them go away. That means we have to do more of the work of helping them map out the solution than a contractor would.

This is a little confusing to me. Isn't the main reason why people use (neo)vi(m) that they reject the Emacs approach of merging everything into the editor (i.e. integration over separation)? So, if you're going to give up on your desire for disintegration, why not just switch to Emacs and use Evil to get emulation of the vim modal interface? Then, you're getting the original, fully-functional, non-WIP Magit, plus a more featureful extension ecosystem and a more robust scripting language besides.

Am I missing something?
Though, if you are creating videos you would keep at least your original project export locally (either on your computer or a NAS) so exposing the content wouldn't require additional space.

If Copilot is infringing, I suspect it's correctable (by GitHub) by adding a bloom filter or something like it to filter out verbatim snippets of GPL or other copyleft code.

That problem isn't solved by DoH, you still need to hardcode the DoH server IP there too if you intend to bypass the network level settings. So a proprietary system would be no different.

All the major appliance vendors (Google, Amazon) already have huge fixed IP ranges to devote to this purpose, which are effectively unblockable because they might be shared with important cloud services.

What becomes more suspicious is when you look a bit more at the person who might have been most interested in Tatlock being “removed from the picture”: Lt. Col. Boris Pash, chief of the Counterintelligence Branch of the Western Defense Command (Army G-2 counterintelligence). A Russian immigrant to the United States who had fought on the losing side of the Russian Civil War, Pash was regarded by fellow Russian émigré George Kistiakowsky as “a really wild Russian, an extreme right wing, sort of Ku Klux Klan enthusiast.”

It's interesting to me, that in the context of a story about the possible assassination of a U.S. citizen by its government for purported anti-government sympathies, that one of the main suspects would be an immigrant that achieved high status in the armed services (or came over as somewhat high status and retained some sort of rank in the military of a different nation?).

That said, I'm not sure if that highlights how much more important in the past it was what you thought and how less important it was where you came from or if it's just really wild story that says less about the nation at that time and more about some really crazy characters that happened to be in proximity.

I can't see the FBI actually killing someone for passing on a used phone. That's a lot of risk for zero benefit.

I can see just generally wanting to stay off their radar, though. Even law-abiding folks can get arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and you don't want someone to see "passed an FBI-tapped phone to a tech media site" in your file. Or maybe their work requires a security clearance, that could hurt you there.

To add more context, fake news has led to riots, murders and even incidents of mob lynching in the country.

Looking at the screen shots in https://www.old-computers.com/museum/software_detail.asp?st=..., it doesn’t look bad.

Of course, those are lying. https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=100... says “The Interact shipped with 2 joysticks, a built-in tape recorder, a TV RF modulator and 2 KB of ROM”.

So, in real life, those characters were filtered through a NTSC tv signal.

Also, the last comment on https://www.old-computers.com/museum/doc.asp?c=1004 claims “It had no character generator, formin it's large letters from graphic routines.” That seems to imply all characters were drawn procedurally, not from a bitmap font. I find that unlikely. Can that be done in less memory than a generic blitter would use?

There even is a link to emulators on https://www.old-computers.com/museum/emulator.asp?c=1004&st=.... One of them led me to http://dchector.free.fr/link.html, which has a few emulators for (AFAIK) obscure systems such as “Thomson MO5NR, Thomson MO6 & Olivetti Prodest PC128” and http://dchector.free.fr/download/interact_rom.zip, which, presumably, is the ROM for this system.
"If relating this to how humans learn" seems like a big IF though right? Are we going to treat computer neural nets as human from a legal standpoint?

At some point Neural Nets like GameGAM might be good enough to duplicate (and optimize) a commercial game. Can you then release your version of the game? Do you just need to make a few tweaks? Are we going to get a double standard because commercial interests are opposed depending on the use case?

It would be pretty funny if Microsoft as a game publisher lobbies to prevent their IP being used w/ something like GameGAN, but then takes the opposing stand point for something like their CoPilot! Although I'm sure it'll be spun as "These things are completely different!".
