In the current designs, plaintext domain names are mainly exposed through two channels: the SNI extension in TLS, and traditional DNS name resolutions—the deployment of DoH/DoT is thus a prerequisite for ESNI. Equivalently, the use of DoH/DoT will not provide any meaningful privacy if domain names are still exposed through the (unencrypted) SNI extension in TLS handshake traffic.

Recently, there is a push for the deployment of DoH/DoT, with major organizations already supporting it (e.g., Google, Cloudflare, Firefox), though this has not been followed by an equivalent effort for the deployment of ESNI, which is now being reworked in an Internet draft called Encrypted Client Hello (ECH: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-tls-esni-12.txt). Unless the confidentiality of domain names is preserved on both channels (SNI and DNS), neither technology can provide any actual privacy benefit if deployed individually.

Also many websites hosted on IP addresses that do not host any other domains, the IP information can be used to infer which domain was visited. We have carried out some studies to investigate the extent to which domain name inference can be done through IP address information. For more technical details pls have a look at these papers:

The article doesn't mention the pulsed nature of wifi and 5G which I think can't be found in natural emf. Maybe this is what they mean by modulated.
Hi, how do I contact you directly?
Sure. I just don't think it's accurate to think science comes to a definitive conclusion. It is a process of constant discovery and coming closer and closer to the truth, but will never arrived at a final answer.

Transformed output _may_ fall under fair use.

However - Copilot directly recites code. That is _very unlikely_ to fall under fair use.

Redistributing the exact same code, in the same form, for the same purpose, probably means that Copilot, and thus the people responsible for it, are infringing.
This is an ad, presumably for the startup where the OP works.

Sadly, our experience shows that 'the algorithm' becomes very centralized (because of the network effect), and suddenly this new middleman starts extracting fees comparable to the previous middlemen.
What's worse is they also employ high pressure sales tactics to get tenants to settle asap. Young professionals and students moving to the city for the first time are their bread and butter, along with people who decided to end their current lease and have 30 short days to find a new spot.

While searching for my current apartment, I was month-to-month on my previous NYC lease and was therefore 1) not a complete noob to the city and 2) could be super picky and I kept getting the sense brokers had no patience for someone like me.

Talking about the importance of your employees' passion is code for how to get more work for less compensation. View statements about the importance of passion from potential employers with the same suspicion you would statements like "we're a family here" and "it's not about the money".
You certainly mean less meetings once we are past the design phase. Because that phase is a single non-stop months-long meeting. Also, as soon as the design phase ends, the design is discovered to be broken. So the phase must be restarted.

Of course, the kind of place the GGP is complaining bout won't let peasants like developers to take part on that phase, so win-win, I guess.

One article at the time said they had an informant that convinced top level criminals to use it and it spread from there.

Will try to find it, but it was awhile back.

> The operation came into being after the FBI took down a Canadian-based encryption service called Phantom Secure. Phantom Secure was marketing its services to criminal elements, offering secure communications through the encrypted cellphones that the company provided to syndicates. When the company was dismantled in 2018, the FBI sought to fill the void in the black market for secure criminal communications. To make that happen, the agency recruited a former distributor of Phantom Secure as an informant who, in return for reduced jail time, not only helped develop an encrypted communications system called ANOM, but helped market it to insular networks of criminal buyers.
Yup, also banned in England now. It shouldn't have been, but it was very refreshing when I last renewed my lease not to be charged several hundred pounds for the privilege of emailing back a signed copy of the document with the end date changed.

Kind of depends. Every player eventually depreciates in value as age and wear increases. Some players will first appreciate as they hit their prime, but not all.
> Now I wonder if some birds will fool other birds by pretending something isn't good.

How would they do that? If other birds are watching to see if they eat the food, it seems that your options (as a deceptive bird) are not to eat it (in which case they might be fooled, but you lose the food) or to eat it (in which case they aren't fooled—they aren't looking for your subsequent review of the prey!).
It's touched on in the article, and https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7e733/anom-fbi-andrew-young... explains it more.

The FBI's plan was even more bold. Rather than penetrate an existing encrypted phone company used by criminals, it would secretly start and market its own encrypted phone firm. While criminals used the devices, the FBI would be able to read what they were saying.

The challenge was that running a fake encrypted phone company was not that different from running a real encrypted phone company.

"We can't just run a good investigation; we have to run a good company,"

...

It was essentially a problem of marketing, Young said. The FBI needed to imbue this fake company with credibility so that criminals would buy and use the phones.
For sake of discussion, it would be clearer to split copilot code (not derived from GPL'd works) and the actual weights of the neural network at the heart of copilot (derived from GPL'd works via algorithmic means).

For your browser analogy, that would mean that the "browser" is the copilot code, while the weights would be some data derived from GPL'd works, perhaps a screenshot of the browser showing the code.

I'd think that the weights/screenshot in this analogy would have to abide by the GPL license. In a vacuum, I would not think that the copilot code had to be licensed under GPL, but it might be different in this case since the copilot code is necessary to make use of the weights.

But then again, the weights are sitting on some server, so GPL might not apply anyway. Not sure about AGPL and other licenses though. There is likely some illegal incompatibility between licenses in there.

> It's not a violation of copyright to train a model.

This is a very bold assumption, one that I assume will not hold in the court of law in all cases. I think the nuanced question is: to train a model that does what, exactly.

Let's say distributing meth recipes is illegal[1], can one legally side-step that by training a model that spits out the meth recipe instead? No court will bother with the distinction, causation is well-trod ground.

1. As an example - not sure if its illegal. You may replace with classified nuclear weapon schematics if you like.

So logically if there was a correlation of any kind between cell phone use and brain cancer we could virtually eliminate the effect by all using headsets which sounds less dramatic and interesting than cell phone usage is the new smoking.

If a company built a tool like Copilot to help students write essays, is that considered plagiarism? Probably yes, and the reason is that regurgitating blobs of text without actually thinking like a human and writing them anew doesn't feel like actual work, just direct re-use.

Maybe I'm dumb. Why would a user who bought a phone that turned out to be an Anom device need their identity protected from 'retaliation'?

To be clear: I'm perfectly happy for them to be anonymous for any reason or no reason. I'm specifically wondering who theoretically would want to retaliate against someone purchasing said devices and why. First sale doctrine still applies even to known honeypotted devices, right?
When I worked in a firm (doing tax law), I loved seeing posts like this online, because the idiots that followed this advice provided a steady stream of clients needing help with their IRS audits.

If someone actually does follow your advice they will be audited, they will owe penalties and back taxes to the IRS. This is also known as a "false tax return", and so the statute of limitations never expires and the IRS has until the end of time to audit the understated returns.

I think what makes magit so cool, and much better than any IDE git integration I've ever seen, is that it's both of those things. It's interactive, easy to use, and efficient, but it also maps very directly to git commands you would otherwise be typing. It doesn't hide anything, it just makes everything more convenient.
Why and how? I'm honestly interested in an answer here.

What exactly is the difference between a machine learning patterns and techniques from looking at code and people doing it?

Is every programer who ever gazed at GPL'ed code guilty of plagiarism and licensing violations because everything they write has to be considered derivative work now?
I'm going to push back on the "less intrusive" than cigarette smoke; yes, vaping smoke doesn't stick to your clothes or on your breath, but that precludes the weird habit of vapers using the product where ever they darn well please because it isn't "smoking." The amount of times I've ran into a cloud of "banana margherita" is a bit ridiculous, and honestly I'd rather sit in a smoking section of a restaurant in podunk Wyoming than be randomly accosted by vape smoke, because at least with the smoker section I am willingly choosing to be there.

Also, as a smoker, I've never "hit it off" with somebody because we smoked. Hitting it off with someone in the smoker's pit outside a bar is just shooting the shit with someone that's in a common area; folks that vape and vegans are very similar in that it's a major point of conversation, as if they've assimilated it as part of their personality.

All that being said, vaping is fine, but the uptick in high schoolers smoking (because it's still smoking under a different name) is a bit alarming; and will be interesting to see how that consumer pipeline changes as regulation of them changes.

Hey kids, it's ol' grayhair here. Please don't type fast. You'll end up like me, with both forearms on fire at the mere thought of blazing out 1MLOC in an afternoon. RSI seriously sucks.

Better goal: think through what you're doing, take it easy on the typing. Write less code, with fewer bugs, that compiles the first time.

Or, y'know, don't listen. Type fast & hard, burn out those arms. You'll eventually learn to think through things, or you'll quit the industry.

Sidenote, the really shitty thing about RSI is that every repetitive motion involving your hands will eventually hurt within a minute. And I do mean sex stuff.
This isn't vampires. If there's a biological effect, it'll be visible even if someone attempts to induce it in an “impure” individual – unless you claim there's a one-shot permanent harmful effect that everybody in the world now has, that we've completely failed to notice.
