Well, so far that hasn't been an issue. Kotlin is a pragmatic language. The differences that currently exist can be addressed just with an annotation here or there. Also, Kotlin's features are designed whilst paying careful attention to what the Java guys are doing. Look at how records have played out. You can use JVM records from Kotlin transparently, you can create them by just adding an annotation (not that there's much point in doing so, as records are mostly a labour saving device that Kotlin already had).

Value types are perhaps a better example. Kotlin has them already with nearly identical semantics to Valhalla, but without the ability for them to have more than one field due to the need for erasure. Once Valhalla arrives, Kotlin can simply remove that restriction when targeting the JVM, perhaps add another annotation or compiler flag to say "make this a real Java value type". No language changes needed beyond that.

Kotlin is semantically so close to Java already that they aren't really growing apart, they're growing together. It works well enough to justify its usage, for me.
Below is a short script that downloads and makes a PDF from the image files. No browser required.

The script uses a feature of HTTP/1.1 called pipelining; proponents of HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 want people to believe it has problems because it does not fit their commercialised web business model.
As demonstrated by the script below, it has no problems.
It's a feature that simply does not suit the online ad industry-funded business model with its gigantic corporate browser, bloated conglomeration web pages and incessant data collection.
Here, only 2 TCP connections are used to retrieve 141 images.
Most servers are less restrictive and allow more than 100 requests per TCP connection.
Pipelining works great. Much more efficient than browsers which open hundreds of connections.
IMHO.

Pretty much, but that isn’t an instant disqualifier. Lots of “Show HN” links are basically ads.

If people think it’s interesting (ad, or not), it will be promoted. If not, it won’t live long.
Going into slightly darker places though, from A purely utilitarian point of view, I wonder how the math works out on cost benefit ratio here. Motorcyclists, especially non-helmet wearing ones, are a major source of viable organ donations. The increased organ supply, is an odd and morbid, if beneficial, externality of helmet law repeals[0].

The question is thus what's the balance between cost to society from the accidents (of which the biker takes most of the risk), the beneficial externality, and the restriction of the biker's ability to select his/her own risk tolerance? How does this compare to other such restrictions (seat belts, airbags).

Modern ads is the stupidest thing ever created (apart from crypto).
What We’re Building at Hyro (By CTO Uri Valevski)
Regarding point 2, what's wrong with assuming that 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC now and forever? If I'm not trading asset A for asset B, then it's hardly "speculation".

If it makes it any better, I can lend BTC and ask to get returns in USDC (which should be worth as much as 1 USD, if you trust Coinbase). Am I still speculating?

Regarding point 3, where is the speculation, exactly? If, at any point, the BTC I left as collateral goes below a certain level of collateralization (let's say 200% of the value of the borrowed asset), I'll just get liquidated: whoever lent me the USD will get their USD back, and I will lose my collateral (or a part of it, at least), if I fail to keep the value of my collateral over the threshold.

I think perhaps we have a very different idea of what "speculation" is supposed to be...

Either way, I guess you accept that there are use-cases that are otherwise not being provided by more traditional tech/institutions. Good.
This was also exactly my experience. It's what NICE recommends:

LMFAO GTFO with your proud history dude. SL is currently run by a corrupted family (Rajapaksha's). they have been accused of crimes(most of those cases got dropped for some reason. LOL). they changed the constitution so their brother, who is a dual citizen can take a seat in the parliament. they pardoned convicted child killers, war criminals & murderers. they exploited racism to get into the power. they even let convicted murderers attend the parliament. they suppress free speech & media. they make up BS quarantine laws to stop protests. they have different rules for different people. they sell local resources/lands to private companies (mostly Chinese), and yet here you are talking about your proud history. you should talk about what your people are doing to your country right now. without the British, SL won't even have a freaking rail road. LOL

Edit: they also got caught paying people (with taxpayers' money) to boost their online/international image BTW. one of them even got arrested by the CIA.

the current government is trying to militarize the whole country as well.
This is the correct answer.

This is the crux of copilot. When I saw it copying RSA keys I knew, it's overtrained.

Most of the comments are waxing about philosophical possibilities of copilot copying GPL.

Reality is clear in the case, it's copy pasting thousands of characters of GPL code with no modifications. Copyright violation clear as day

might be worth specifying what sorts of headphones as it makes a massive difference. I find a couple of hours with over-the-ear headphones leaves me needing to clean/dewax my ears.

Indeed; the question is if copyright should apply at all. Harping on about licenses, GPL, and whatnot is a detraction from the actual issue at hand.

Also, given that the author of this tweet called me a "bootlicker" last year in response to a somewhat lengthy nuanced post about GitHub, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they're not all that interested in a meaningful conversation on this in the first place but are rather on a quest to "prove" GitHub is evil.

It's not outrage bait. The thing reproduces GPL licensed code verbatim.
> isn't it just doing what humans do, but faster?

The human activity most like training an ML system is memorizing a text by reciting from memory, checking against the original, adjusting, and repeating until there are acceptably few mistakes.

And if a human did so for thousands of texts then publicly repeated those texts, they would be violating copyright too.

That's just the iPhone's default JPEG processing. You can avoid that by shooting RAW. I posted a comparison in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27769511

Not sure what is going on with your comparison crop. The phone photo seems to actually be out of focus in the relevant area, not to mention overexposed.

Yes... and?

Are people that have Bitcoin not allowed to do useful things with what they have? Does it bother you that there are actual legitimate use-cases for these things (as you seemingly admit, by not including my first example in your comment)?

Someone asked for an example, and I provided a few... perhaps you don't see value in the examples I gave, but there are people out there who do.
I don't know how they do it, although the reddit commenters do mention IR emitters/reflectors in the ad panels being used to create a mask.

What I did notice is that the system commonly has very slight glitches around player bodies if you pay very close attention. This is most visible in close-up shots from mid-height cameras. The effect is similar to how video call blur filters imperfectly detect hair boundaries. The ad boards sometimes cover small parts of players' faces.
The implementation got pulled from FreeBSD and a new implementation have been made by contributors including Donenfeld, though it will likely not end up in mainline FreeBSD before the next release.
> Where do you draw the line?

My simplistic view is that the following is legally equivalent:

input -> ai network -> output

input -> huffman coding -> output

So, whilst:

* compressing and decompressing a copyright work is permissible;

* output and weights are deterministic transformations of the inputs;

thus:

* not eligible for copyright (lacking creativity); and

* are derivative works of the inputs;

Doctors IME will always advise not to do it, but also IME it works far better than anything else.

I've always had blocked ears, and my grandfather had been an NHS doctor back when this was standard (before the advice not to do it came down), so he was the one who showed me how to do it -- very, very gently and repeatedly, with slightly warm water, don't need to push the point of the bulb/syringe in. And the wax just drops out after a few applications (in big gross lumps if it's bad!).

Absolutely not medical advice, but just to confirm that it works extremely well.

Did you miss the bit where copilot reproduced exactly a function including the comments? That's not some mashup or reinterpretation or inspiration it meets the definition of plagiarism in universities and is just copying.
I would largely agree that the use cases are niche at the moment. For example, enabling ownership of a domain name without requiring the trust of a central party.

It may be worth noting, Ethereum has only been around for 6 years, and prior to it there was not a lot of focus in the blockchain space on ownerless program execution and immutable state (smart contracts).

"We have lost this argument in the past so what are we talking about" is a dangerous attitude in this context. Helping the 'average citizen' understand the extent of surveillance and facing the consequences is an ongoing process. Public awareness is still very low about these issues, but the norms are changing - many, including myself are working hard on framing the issue in a way that reaches wider audiences. We cannot just put up our hands and accept that this battle is lost and the power imbalance is too entrenched to be changed. If you are interested in recent studies that demonstrate that people who become aware of the privacy issues do care about them, email me.
What you're arguing is basically whataboutism. One can still be proud while recognizing the faults of e.g. Rajapaksha. Besides, is the parent poster Sinhalese or ethnic Tamil? Doesn't really matter but there is more than one type of Sri Lankan
> what's wrong with assuming that 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC now and forever?

Because if 1 BTC = 0 USD, and has no real-world utility outside of speculation, there is no compelling reason to try to acquire more BTC.

The possibility of GPL violation does show (one of) enormous ramifications of the question though. I think it's not a detraction as long as the question itself is also mentioned.

It follows the design patterns of many node-based programming environments, so to call it a ripoff of Max/MSP is unfairly harsh. The theme in the second half of the video looks a lot closer to VVVV than Max.

Fair enough. For me this is a much better "pitch" than the "absolute certainty" above.

The way I understand it, you help align incentives better and improve financial oversight while your tool of choice is some blockchain structure (others might work, too). And it seems to me that is mainly directed at smaller businesses with limited auditing requirements and in distributed settings.
you should look up the definition of the whataboutism, because my comment doesn't have anything to do with that. also, I didn't mention anything about nationality or ethnicity. maybe you should go back and reply to the correct comment.

They'll just slap sanctions on that company / government to prevent gathering of the info from the US population. Also if such data offers verified massive advantage as they say the US might be more inclined to instead repeal / weaken privacy laws to keep up with China.

Could I please have a quote for some of your minimal-price used diamonds?
There are many measures one can take missing and the actions one can take are too broad. Missing for example the measure of introducing tests for the population for usage of essential services. For example there could be separate options for various types of masks. There could be options for where to use masks. Then there could be measures for offices and so on. Some of the events seem time-scripted, to happen regardless of what you do, or I have been unlucky. Like I had all restrictions up, and something under 5k cases, bam! mutation pops up.

A real government has waaay more ways to fight the pandemic. For example tracing of cases can be done, if there are few enough cases. Strict controls on quaranteen for returners from other countries.

However, the game sends the message: "Could you have done better?" Perhaps not too wrong.
That is exactly what needs some careful consideration. As a start, two people can write the exact same code independently, therefore having identical code is not sufficient. On the other hand I can copy some code and slightly modify it, maybe only the spacing or maybe changing some variable names, and it could reasonably be a license violation, therefore having identical code is also not necessary.

Does the code even matter at all? If I start with a copy of some existing code, how much do I have to change it to no longer constitute a license violation? Can I ever reach this point or would the violation already be in the fact that I started with a copy no matter what happens later? Does intention matter? Can I unintentionally violate a license?

But I think we don't have to do all the work, I am pretty sure this has already been considered at length by philosophers and jurist.
I'm talking about how it's presented. It starts with

At any rate, it's not even clear to me if me publishing code written with copilot (or even with a random tool that will wget from github) puts the blame on the toolmaker or on me. This post, however, doesn't attempt to look at that but uses language that paints GH/MS as doing something illegal (and evil) that others wouldn't even get away with but not caring about it.

COVID will always be with us. The terrifying levels of generic diversity among SARS like viruses in bats should have been a starker warning.

The virus is highly zoonotic. Zoos are vaccinating all their felines, mustelids, and apes because this virus infects pretty much any mammal.

Again, the virus family has shown remarkable genetic diversity in bats. That means we're screwed. It will do the same in humans given time
