I saw that "concept" at the Long Beach bike show a few years. It's literally the guts of a Zero bolted into an Ural frame.

At least one of the things that I personally find exciting is the idea of having a huge stack of batteries in the sidecar. Would be great for both capacity, and handling when you don't have a passenger. You could even add a teslaesque "ludicrous" mode and not worry about running out of battery.
All that's needed now is to produce enough of it wrap it around the earth.

I was 8 years old when I saw it -- no movie has influenced me like that one. At that age, the star gate scene was kind of scary; but, yes, the HAL 9000 had a _huge_ impact on me. One of the best films, ever.

It's a whole platform for e-learning. The exam system is ... usable. The fine arts, law, and social silences like it very much, because long form answers are readable.

The natural sciences with the math bit have to work around it. We manage.
Reputedly at least in part because of the increased importance of non-English speaking markets, even the better action movies are so dominated by long action sequences that they really detract for me.

And to the parent point, on top of that, I'm now expected to understand at least some of the intricacies of a complex movie/TV universe that I don't really care that deeply about.
Lectures scale well. Once there over more than around 30 people in the room it isn't possible be interactive anyway. So a video of the best lecturer is better than the average lecturer in person. That video of the lecture can have a few students (ideally plants who are scripted to ask the right questions - though this is not an easy thing to get right), but for the most part once you are over 30 students nobody is interactive anyway.

You still need that interactive instruction. The worse professor I had in college was still better than the ones at MIT - I've never been in the same state as MIT which means they were terrible at interacting with me. And of course the in person interaction does not scale.

I think Copilot is as helpful to programmers as ELIZA is helpful to psychiatrists.

I don't think it really understands code, only very superficially (unlike GPT-3 which might actually genuinely understand parts of language, computer code requires more abstracted mental model). ELIZA was similar, some people also believed that it can understand what they are thinking. Turns out it was all just in our heads.
Well, it doesn't have to be a binary choice between that and google offering it. There could be an OS API where you can hotswap who actually delivers those notifications. Right now I believe the google server actually gets hardcoded into the apps using it.
In my case pressing the close-doors button after the floor button does not do anything - it is as if the floor button sets the timer on the doors, which then cannot be changed by the close-doors button.
Those reciprocals are too small.

Lets see if the kids know how to multiply fractions:

factorial(256) times ( 1 divided by factorial(256) ) equals ?

And yes, there will unfortunately be kids trying to brute force it by typing it in instead of cancelling the factorial(256).
There is Fable (https://fable.io/) which compiles to Javascript.
Though it's worth keeping in mind that the mathematics is usually accompanied by an article that at a minimum (tersely) tells you what the symbols are.
That hits to the core of my question. How do I get 30 or 40 terabytes of data offsite in a reasonable fashion? Is Amazon Deep Glacier at about $400/year the way to go? (And then I have to figure out how to actually make that work.)
Wildcard characters in GitHub's code search
Your arguments may be valid from a common sense standpoint. However, they may not exactly be valid from a legal standpoint as explained below:

>> First of all, it's not as if CoPilot spits out verbatim replica of training data on every other prompt.

Your comment is about how often it is happening. That it happens as the OP shows via examples itself makes this a concern. It's not necessarily a question of quantity but of existence.

At least when I last checked [1], Github itself [2] notes: "Does GitHub Copilot recite code from the training set? GitHub Copilot is a code synthesizer, not a search engine: the vast majority of the code that it suggests is uniquely generated and has never been seen before. We found that about 0.1% of the time, the suggestion may contain some snippets that are verbatim from the training set. ..."

In other words, 0.1% of the time snippers are copied verbatim, a percentage of which may be copyright violations (not everything is).

>> The author acts as if copypasta from StackOverflow, RosettaCode and similar sites is NOT a daily occurrence

Those may be violations too. That it is a common practice does not turn it into a non-violation.

>> Fake gurus like Siraj Raval [0] can manage to literally steal

That someone escaped does not imply that the laws are now somehow invalid.

>> I really have to wonder what the fuss is about when an ML model occasionally spits out a few lines of code snippets verbatim from its training set.

I agree. AI here is posing a challenge which should lead to refinement of the law, as I have explained in another context too [3]. If this is indeed needed, don't expect this to happen some anytime soon.

My M1 macbook pro battery lasts so long and doesn't get hot it's amazing. You don't have to use the laptop like a laptop any more. Range anxiety is totally gone. I can watch youtube videos without fear of burn or running out of battery fast. I thought it would be good, but not THIS good. It's actually cannibalized my iPad usage since that used to be the battery champ for me.
For me that’s been the biggest difference coming from my old laptop.

I no longer have any kind of battery anxiety, it probably lasts a couple of days or more (9 or 10 hours a day use IntelliJ web and python dev, bit of YouTube etc) I don’t have to panic to plug it in every night and I’ve taken it away for the weekend without the charger.

Definitely not the best, but probably the most stupid ... Once as teenagers we rode our bikes with a friend to a forest park in our town and decided to have a bottle of wine in there. We drank one, it wasn't enough, so we got another one. Turned out the "wine" had 20% abv and we got quite wasted. I blacked out and regained consciousness in the middle of the forest with my bike, next to a long fence that was 2-3m high with a barbed wire on top. I didn't know were to go and got angry, so I hanged the bike on the fence, climbed it, scratched my whole arms on the wire, jumped down, picked the bike and started riding further. Turned out it was a military base, so I rode around and finally found the gate guarded by a soldier. I told him to open it, but he kept asking how I got in. I kept mumbling that I just threw the bike in and he finally let me go. Later on, still completely drunk, I rode a couple of kms through the city to McDonald's to get a burger. But I lost all my money. So I mumbled my way again and they finally gave me one for free. Then I went home.

Next day it turned out my friend woke up in a graveyard on the other side of town. We never found out how he got there :)

From TFA

> If you want to personally pick up a programming language in order to become a better coder in whatever other languages you use, F# is the best overall teaching/coding language you can find.

I can't speak to F# at all, but I can to Rust, in this regard. I haven't heard many people say this before - writing F# makes you a better programmer - but mostly that F# people are GSD types of people.

In contrast, I commonly hear other people talk about how dealing with Rust's strict compiler and clippy's lints help them improve their skills by rejecting bad code. In C, C++, Python, and JS, there's limited "guardrails" so most learning or improvement is mostly self-motivated. In Rust, the guardrails are strong that many people learn a thing or two about project structure, memory allocation, performance, semver, etc.

I just feel like this claim for F# is pretty strong, when the primary argument seems to boil down to "you can change your coding style over time." Does F# have as nearly as strict and helpful compiler as Rust - or any other language built-in tooling?
Around here, they’re used as a run-around restrictions on alcohol advertisements.

I’m sure growth is great, but I see it stagnating at a small percentage of the market.

Beer-less alcohol in a can is really skyrocketing. Not sure how 5% food-grade ethanol in carbonated water sells for 50% more than beer, but it is what it is.

All the buzz and less the sugar-rush calories.

Maybe one day we’ll grow up and replace alcohol with better recreational drugs that are more fun, easier to manufacture, better targeted and result in fewer health and social problems.

There’s a bazillion candidates out there.
It is my opinion that F# is the best designed modern language. With .NET 5's cross platform performance and F#'s language features, I think one is hard pressed to find a better designed language. The design yields an optimal balance between the functional, OOP, and imperative paradigms.

The problems with F# are that .NET was originally Window's only causing the creation of a separate run-time in Mono, there were breakages when .NET moved from .NET Framework and Mono to .NET Core (now .NET 5), problems with messaging F# as a C# replacement, biased perspectives of F# as a Microsoft product, Microsoft's lack of investment in and marketing of F#, and F#'s overall ecosystem. There's also the push and pull that comes from some developers wanting to make F# into Haskell, whereas I think that's against the natural settled state of F# as a multi-paradigm practical language.

One can write F# basically as one would write Python, yet F# comes with a host of improvements over Python. One could even go full OOP in F# like one would in C#, again with improvements of conciseness and readability. With F#'s functional paradigm but non-insistence on purity, one gets a language that allows you to write beautifully correct code that works and doesn't fight against you. I use F# in my side projects and also some small work projects, and when using F#, it feels like I'm just translating a specification into code where when done, the code just works.

Unfortunately, the F# ecosystem is not as coherent as others. Probably the comparison I would make is to Elixir. Although I'd argue Elixir isn't as nice of a core language as F#, Elixir's ecosystem and coherence across that ecosystem is very nice and yields a great development experience. The Elixir community has rallied around certain ways of doing things and frameworks where it feels F# is a little more spread out.
> Dynamic languages continue to be exceedingly popular. The preference for static typing is I think over-represented in online discourse.

The most popular dynamic languages are all adding static typing though. Typescript became extremely popular very quickly, Python has been adding types annotations for a long time now, Ruby is adding them too, some team at Facebook is working on the same for Erlang. I've seen a few times Clojure users saying they don't need them, and considering Clojure has immutability, a strong REP and spec, I can understand that they don't feel the need. But Python, JavaScript, Ruby and even some Erlang/Elixir users think the opposite.

> I would be very surprised if the amount of Clojure/Clojurescript out there in production isn't several times larger than the amount of F#.

I think the same, but the thing is that I think the amount of Java for web apps is already several times larger than the amount of C# for web apps, which can skew things.

The DC is a lot more watchable. The biggest benefit is the CG Sequences, which are used to replace some of the 'staring at the viewscreen' type reaction shots.

As for why it wasn't remastered at 4k, let alone 1080p back then, my guess is that the cost of rendering CG above DVD resolutions was a major factor.
I have been on the 'receiving' end of such persons actions. We had one guy who worked probably 50% of his time on using
not F#, but another "nice" thing. It never worked well and he spent an incredible amount of time patching it and fixing issues with it. I threw it out the day after and replaced it with some older boring technology, and the problems just went away.
Reading your two posts, it sounds more like you've got a bad code base, no-one wants to work on it and quickly flee when they've seen it.

I also noticed that received Windows versions don't even have the option of changing the system font anymore. Even changing the font size is only possible in a tightly restricted range and is framed as an accessibility feature, not a customisation.

Sometimes it feels like customisation is removed so you can have more things available that can be announced (or sold) as "features"...

Maturing industries lose diversity as they trend towards optimization. This is something that is bound to happen regardless of industry. America has far fewer automotive manufactures than it 100 years ago and diversity has suffered; same goes for soda manufactures, etc.

With about any industry, you can gauge how mature it is by the diversity it has achieved. It starts with one or two who demonstrate the viability of the market, then there is an explosion of interest as many people break in, trying different strategies to gain market share, then the few winners consolidate the industry. Sometimes, the big players rest on their laurels and an upstart takes hold, but they are usually acquired by the establishment or their strategy is emulated then they are crushed by the inherent resource imbalance.

The big movie studios know what works and they are going to stick to that. Occasionally a Pixar will come along and disrupt the market, but when that happens, a Disney is going to step in and acquire them and change or adapt their formula to prevent another upstart.

This is always naturally in contention because if you don't also constrain scope of work an employee can work in competition with their day job "on their own time" based on information they wouldn't have if they weren't employed by the company.

So this isn't supposed to cover random side projects, but should cover you creating a competitor, or related patents, etc. "off hours". Some companies legal departments just try and claim everything because it's easier.

The way I've seen this done well is some sort of internal review and/or disclosure mechanism.
The games also need to be ported to metal and optimized for apple hardware, which just isn’t worth it. This was especially true when only high end macs had decent gpu’s. Now that even the mini and air have a gpu that can actually play a modern game the economics may change.

Absolutely - F# is greater than the sum of its features. While it's good that C# keeps getting features inspired by F#, they fundamentally won't change the way it's written. The actual experience of using global type inference, immutability, sum types, currying (& partial application) and well thought out exhaustive pattern matching cannot be replicated by bolting them onto a fundamentally imperative OOP language.
