As others have stated go for a ham license. In the UK the level of license you have determines the amount of power you can use to transmit, which frequency you can transmit on and if you can build your own kit. I imagine it is the same in the US.

I am in Ireland, chatting with the US is not a challenge. Australia was always hard work for me.

Ham is like IT. People will turn your head online and make it sound unnecessarily complex. To start get a little USB SDR dongle and start listening in. Will cost about £5.

That influence rhetoric is so pervasive despite the transparent dishonesty that is an elephant in the room. So when are we going to shutdown the BBC and stop best selling authors from writing because they have "too much" influnce? Sorry Steven Spielberg - you had too much influence on film already so it is retirement for you! That would be considered unthinkable and horribly dystopian.

Yet it is okay if standard special pleadings #1 and #7 are applied (in this case "But it is people I don't like so it is okay!" and "It is new and scary so it is okay!").

Curious what the consensus is on how GH should have approached this to avoid such blowback.

Best case scenario, they explained in advance on the GH blog they're going to be doing some work on ML and coding, and they'd like people to opt into their profile being read via a flag setting/or put a file in the repo that gives permission like robots.txt? Second best case scenario, same as first but opt out vs opt in, and least ideal would be something like not doing the first two, however, when they announced it, explained in detail how the model was trained and what was used, why, and when- kinda thing?

Is that generally about right, or..?
As does OpenBSD - VLANs and IPSec on the OpenBSD CLI are simpler than you think! Personally I think it's simpler and easier to use than even pfSense.

Point is still valid through. Especially compared to some overly-complicated implementations, the pfSense web UI for VLAN and IPSec can be a better alternative.

> but where copilot sits is way over on the plagiarizing side of the spectrum

I think it is important to point out that not all Copilot output is on the plagiarizing side of the spectrum. However it does on occasion produce plagiarized code. And most importantly there is no indication when this occurs.
It's not what socialists want out of socialism, I'd agree with that. But what else do you call a system of economics centered on government wealth transfers. It certainly isn't capitalism. It certainly closer to how socialism is usually defined.

I guess it would be better to say that this specific practice is "socialistic". I'm not making some binary claim that we are a "socialist country" as opposed to a "capitalist country"
It seems like a plausible sentiment for the CCP tho. They seem to be taking their turn as a colonialist. e.g. The "re-education camps", South China sea, tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and even countries like Indonesia where they have captured the government and pro Chinese policies are being rammed through.
I want a linter where I can exclude specific things in some kind of configuration. Having linter hash tags in files is:

- Ugly and makes for less readable code.

- Doesn't apply the same exception in similar situations. If I made an exception to a rule in one place, I'd like it to apply everywhere I have similar contexts.

- Gives a binary good / bad. A linter ought to flag questionable choices to look at -- not just bad choices. At that point, I should be able to say "oops, let me fix that," or "I meant to do that" without leaving garbage around.

I'd like this stuff in a linter config/data file, ideally, as semantically as possible. If I tell a spell checker that yes, in fact, my company name is a misspelling of a common word, I don't need to tell it twice. This is not true for linters.

I'd also like all the linty stuff configured in one place, with one syntax. Not pylint + pycodestyle.

Examples of use-cases:

- A lot of the times when I'm building an API, I have unused arguments in interim versions of the code. That's okay.

- I occasionally break Python naming conventions, especially when either planning a code refactor, or when trying to comply with non-Python naming conventions

- I generally dislike lines > 80 characters, but often, that's the right way to do things, especially if the alternative is breaking up a long token like a URL.

And so on. I'd like all of these caught, and then I'd like to give the linter a pat on the back, say "Thank you, but here it's okay," and move on with my life.

There's actually a lot more stuff which could be put into a linter once you assume that being wrong even 80% of the time still makes for a helpful tool. If a linter flags give things and I change one as a result, that's well worth the little bit of hassle. If a linter keeps flagging those things forever, it's no longer worth the hassle.
> since everyone gets equal benefit from the army, the courts, schools, etc. So they should pay equally.

This isn't true. Bezos benefits a lot more than I do from all of those things. As an example, the court system will enforce his property claims, and he has a lot more of them that need enforcing than I do.
Street pickers know the value of everything. That's their daily bread-butter. FMCG companies use CSR funds to make them pickup more of less-value trash.
How to Load Test with Goose – Part 1: D9 Umami on Pantheon with Fastly
>> Evidence of traction is very motivating, just ask any engineer whose github project starts gathering stars!

I notice this on an open source project. There was a feature add by someone on their private branch. I asked why we didn't merge it and was told the implementation was not good enough. It was a cool hack, but inferior to doing it "right". So I started investigating the right way to implement it and a discussion followed and someone else started almost competing with me on implementation. In the end I backed off and encouraged him to complete it and that worked.

I have noticed on other occasions that when the project seems to be stagnating, doing something and opening a dialog will often bring people together to get something done.

People seem motivated by the notion that someone actually cares about their work. Go figure.
At the very beginning he says:

> The rule of simulation that I would like to have is that the number of computer elements required to simulate a large physical system is only to be proportional to the space-time volume of the physical system. I don't want
to have an explosion. That is, if you say I want to explain this much physics,
I can do it exactly and I need a certain-sized computer. If doubling the
volume of space and time means I'll need an exponentially larger computer, I consider that against the rules (I make up the rules, I'm allowed to do
that).

He emphasizes this again in the section about computing the probabilities:

> We emphasize, if a description of an isolated part of nature with N
variables requires a general function of N variables and if a computer stimulates this by actually computing or storing this function then doubling the size of nature (N->2N) would require an exponentially explosive
growth in the size of the simulating computer. It is therefore impossible,
according to the rules stated, to simulate by calculating the probability. [emphasis mine]

So when he uses the term 'computer' he doesn't mean 'abstract Turing machine', he explicitly means 'realizable/efficient Turing machine'.
With a physical building, that make sense. They do get old, and in theory, should have its value degrade over time. I would hope that land ownership however does not get to enjoy the same tax cut.

Do a sport team have it value degrade, and if so, by how much each year?
That’s safe but it’s probably not necessary to be protected from what GitHub, OpenAI, and Microsoft are doing. When these licenses were crafted there was no reasonable expectation that companies could use
ML applications as a loop hole in existing copyright licenses, so just because there is no explicit clause denying it doesn’t mean they are in the clear for using copyright-protected code that way. Licenses give permission, they don’t revoke it.

Copyright is broad, licenses are minimal. This must be the case otherwise they would not be very effective at protecting the work of creators. There is no explicit allowance for what GitHub is doing in most licenses so they do not have general permission to do so.
That is the exact term the author uses:

> But Veeck dreamed up an innovation, a way to get a second tax deduction for the same players: depreciation. The way he accomplished this was by separately buying the contracts before the old company was liquidated, instead of transferring them to the new company as had been done before. That meant that the contracts were treated as a separate asset.

They also discuss how the problem is not the concept of depreciation but the relatively recent changes allowing it to be used for things which don’t depreciate or where the valuations are highly subjective.

I believe the title of this Wikipedia article is wrong. When we started replacing the word "sex" with "gender" a few years ago, we were careful to differentiate both uses. But a few years later some people started to feel like "gender" is the new politically-correct word for "sex". It is not: these two have very distinct uses, and using "gender" for connectors is ridiculous because - as far as we can tell - they have no social identity (yet!).

>Every known example of where science has gotten it wrong is also an example of where science has corrected itself.

That's a bit of survivor's bias isn't it? Where science hasn't "corrected" people disparage dissent or are unaware. If you're game, we might observe that humans are flawed and unable to make perfect observations. Thus empirical knowledge is always flawed and will continuously be "correcting", but never arriving at the zenith of truth.

>Of course more governance is needed. The free rider problem mandates that the solution be enforced by government.

This assumes one accepts the doomsayer's premises. These are the issues being disputed.

1)That men and their CO2 emissions are solely responsible for climate and weather.

2)That there is an optimal climate and fallible men can identify it.

Separate is the issue of "Free riders" and how that relates to the necessity of government mandates. The EPA sets standards for pollution. Those who are within the confines of those standards can do harm with their pollutants. Later they can claim they were within the established guidelines, absolving them of responsibility.

In this case the government regulators have created a scenario where polluters can "ride freely". Consider how this differs from the premises of natural law. If each individual owns himself and his body, those who's industrial factors damage the property of another should be liable for damages - regardless of EPA standards.
In general, when we use someone's platform to publish, we give up control. People continually rediscover this fact. If you want more control, publish on a standard website on a standard Linux machine.
When the government are the crony capitalists, that's not really capitalism anymore.

The internet wasn't invented to keep track of who owns what. It was invented to transmit information and it does an excellent job at that. The blockchain, on the other hand, was invented to keep track of who owns that. That's its only purpose. The fact it doesn't and can't enforce property rights, which, it could be argued, are pretty essential for that purpose, appears to indicate that blockchains do suffer from a fatal design flaw. At least that's the way I see it.

Team develops quantum simulator w 256 qubits, largest of its kind ever created
Ok, my curiosity has been fired here...

I have conjured up two scenarios here:

Let's say I use copilot to generate a bunch of code for an app, something substantial, and it regurgitates a load of bits and pieces from many sources it got from GitHub, I'd assume there won't be any attribution in it... it will be as if Copilot made the code itself (I know it sort of does but lets not split hairs!). I'm guessing the prevailing theory (from GiitHub anyway) is that I'm legitimately allowed to do this.

Now, let's say I generated all that code by manually copying and pasting chunks of code from a whole bunch of repos, whether they are open source, unlicensed, whatever. Would I not be ripe for legal issues? I could potentially find all the code that copilot generated and just copy and paste it from each of the sources and not mention that in my license. What if I told everyone "yeah, I just copied and pasted this from loads of Github repos and didn't put any attribution in my code". I'd assume that (morality aside) I'd be asking for trouble!

Am I missing something? Am I misunderstanding the situation, or the capabilities of copilot?

It's pretty hard to imagine what people think they gain by "switching" to PeerTube. Beyond idealism, there's not a whole lot going for the platform technically; it isn't peer to peer meaningfully. It would be better to just claim you are paying to self host your videos, which is what the author is doing.
It's been admitted again. This contraption by GitHub is really causing chaos in the open source world and has been trained upon all public GitHub code; essentially those who have their code hosted there publicly, gave them permission to train copilot on their code. Now they are complaining about it after all these problems [0].

I warned against hosting source code on GitHub and going all in on GitHub Actions, mainly for them being unreliable for the past year. [1] (They go down every month). Now Copilot has gone and trained on every single public repo on GitHub as admitted right in this post, regardless of the copyright.

Maybe for organisations with serious projects, perhaps now's the time to leave GitHub and self-host your own somewhere else?

There are two effects:

1. As the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases, the partial pressure of CO2 also increases. This tends to increase the concentration of CO2 dissolved in seawater.

2. As the temperature of the seawater increases, the solubility of CO2 decreases.

(1) is much stronger than (2) so far. Atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased much more than CO2 solubility has decreased due to temperature.

> How much more dangerous is nicotine than alcohol?

If you divorce nicotine from its problematic delivery systems, nicotine itself is a pretty good drug (albeit very addictive). It's potentially protective against diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, it's associated with weight loss, and it improves short term memory and attention.

It's also great in combination with caffeine, and it speeds up caffeine metabolism.
I fail to see your point. You are saying that communication can help developers be more efficient then you give an example of a good developer who did not need a team to develop a ground breaking product?
