automated tools are top for improving certain tech skills. like Duolingo is good for as a language starter. But only talking with other people will really teach you the language - people teach each other even if they don't have the intent to do it. Same with technology.

Social skills are very important, cannot be more important in these times. 15+ years in academia, not as researcher, but as teacher, showed one thing - the best learners are those who are best at listening, at interacting with others, not the top-bookshelf-worms. Usually not the top kids, but most usually become top contributors to teams and companies at later point.

Surely now and then an Einstein is born, but we also know of people who were very active in their social interaction without all the academia fuss about it. and academia is one place to find people to interact with. and academia is not only Oxford and MIT where entry level is very hard, nearly impossible.

So all of this is not about academia, rather about being human with humans.

> rare and expensive privilege

Rare and expensive privileges give us satisfaction.

Besides the things we are wired to like for evolutionary purposes, the more expensive and exclusive a thing is, the more we are satisfied with it.

It's not the thing in itself, but the validation we get because it's something done by few.

As soon as you step into a commercial plane you look down for like 1 hour and then go straight to the movies.

As soon as you get in a private jet it seems amazing for like 5 hours before you realize that you are in an RV which is capable of flying.

The half life of non evolutionary driven experiences is very short.

There’s plenty of reproducibility and falsifiability and all those other essential ingredients. The very fact that there is a “reproducibility crisis” at all shows that as a field it’s open to this kind of cross examination.

Psych makes plenty of fairly reliable predictions around social behaviour, childhood development and human machine interaction.

Only somebody who didn’t understand psychology would say it produces no reproducible results.

It’s not physics. You can’t do it in a lab. But it can explain and predict within bounds of certainty.

DSM is often wielded as a criticism but this is strictly speaking a psychiatric i.e “medical” tool which strictly speaking should be used as a basis for making diagnosis not for diagnosis itself. It’s limitations are well understood in the field of psychology and again somebody who understood the field would know this.

I didn't provide arguments because there are other articles explaining why reactive/declarative programming is superior. I just wanted to point out that there are experienced GUI programmers who find web tech better for this purpose, it's not just kids who only know JavaScript.

You really need to try React/Vue. Vue is actually much simple to get started with and understand if you just want to try it out.

Once you use a reactive GUI, there is no going back to manually managing controls state like in Qt.

Spontaneous portraits, especially street photography has a very revealing side to it, and being able show people this side is exciting and somewhat of a calling for some of us.

That's being said, street photography is hard. Especially when you add empathy. All the shots I'm taking are extremely calculated. Trying not to focus on one person squarely, not upsetting someone during the process is extremely energy consuming.

If anyone tells me they don't want their face to be shot, I show them the photo. If they hesitate even for a microsecond, that image is gone for good. I'm not a voyeur and have no intention to violate anyone's boundaries even from 100 feet away.

Not being completely fluent in the ML space, I'm not completely clear on the applicability of this technique.

Broadly, is this useful for determining the already-diffused pattern of data and determining the original inputs, or determining the diffused output without needing to iterate fully and produce the result manually, or both, or am I completely off?

The "misunderstanding" part is interesting to me. I've found I don't recognize what most emoji are. If I'm lucky, the site or app has some helpful alt text when I hover over the picture. In my very informal survey, I've asked others what an emoji means and I almost never get the same answer. I suppose the answers are at least in the same general category (or maybe tone?), but I often wonder how clearly both parties really understand what the other is saying. For this reason, I just stick with emoticons as the middle-ground.

Reviewing code written by Copilot may be longer than writing the code in the first place.
To determine the quality of your soil, you can perform a soil test. In the US, you will most likely find your local university offering this service through their extension agency. It will probably cost around 30 dollars, and you will need to probe samples from different locations on the property. They will assess and give you results. Some of the metrics are: concentration of major nutrients, organic matter content, pH, and CEC (cation exchange capacity). You will also probably receive a list of recommendations.

I would hire copilot to write tests for me, that’s about it. Writing tests can be a drag. It’s really a low-risk proposition to have generated code attempt it. If it’s a usable test, maybe it will catch a bug. If not, then kill it and let it generate a few more.

The expectation is entirely different than producing code. Code needs to be correct, secure, performant, and readable. Failure on any of those fronts can be expensive to disastrous. Nobody can reasonably expect a test suite to catch every bug, even if created by the smartest humans. If a copilot-created test does prevent a bug from shipping it provides immediate value. I could see it coming up with some whacky-but-useful test cases that a sane person might not consider. From a training perspective I would think that assertion descriptions contain more consistent lexical value than the average function signature.

It seems like the ambitious data scientists, product marketers, and managers fell in love with a revolutionary idea about AI writing code, and neglected to consult the engineers they are trying to ‘augment’.

This means all patents will eventually flow to a single holder over time (the one most able to offer a patent buyout pipeline). This is a terrible idea without strong anti-trust and forced break-up and anti-consolidation enforcement.

I hate patent trolls too, but if your two outcomes are A) all you'll get is a bunch of umbrella companies coupling a legal firm to a modest widget mill. This is a great way to proliferate e-trash though and B ) The leviathan in town sets up a window to buy out every patent they can to save no long term litigation costs... Maybe your system is flawed to begin with.
We'd have new legislation within a week targeting patent trolls. I can't imagine anything that'd make a government more unpopular than taking away everyone's iPhones, iPads and Macs.

That is such a terrible sentence, because it's barely ever true. Most pictures, without a context, are utterly meaningless; go check a Facebook stream where people just barf images without any context. None of them mean anything, let alone a thousand words.
I think its more a matter of spending all your school years being "remedial" for inter-personal skills (IPS).

Think of IPS like it was a school subject. If you are learning maths slower than everyone else then when it is time to move on to multiplication you are still trying to get the hang of carrying the tens in addition. To catch up you have to go faster than everyone else, but that isn't possible. Now you have to leave addition and start doing multiplication, and you still haven't got the hang of addition, without which multiplication doesn't make sense. Pretty soon you are floundering in a mess of abstractions built on other abstractions that you don't understand, and it all goes downhill from there.

Of course there are remedial classes for maths, reading etc. They help a lot; sometimes some dedicated tuition can pin down the specific issue and deal with it. But there are no remedial classes for IPS; the slow learner is left to sink or swim on their own.

If you fail to get the hang of IPS when you start school the process is very similar to failing elementary arithmetic. You can't understand why everyone else is doing the things they are doing, or what they mean when they say things. So you get excluded by classmates during break, which means that you don't learn new IPS. And when you do catch on to something you do it wrong, or you don't realise that it's what everyone was doing last year, so now its considered childish. So you stay excluded, always wondering what the magic words are that will let you break into the social circle. Eventually you reach adulthood, and you still don't know this stuff. You are like someone who managed to get through school without learning to read (still happens, sadly), and now finds themselves being shouted at by the boss for not bothering to read the instructions.
Most likely I will put this as my first recommendation. Thanks for your insights and response.

> Am I the only one thinking that GPT3 and CoPilot can actually work once trained on properly licensed and properly audited code?

Sadly you aren't. The truth is, however, that models like GPT3 and its derivatives like Codex/CoPilot are by design incapable of ever achieving this.

The only way to generate both correct and secure code is to use a combination of proper specs and theorem provers.
Even then this won't help with non-functional requirements, such as performance or platform-dependent resource constraints.

Generative models will always have the potential to yield broken code that doesn't do what you want or contains security flaws even if trained on "proper" code.

If I have to audit the code that CoPilot generates and if the code is as obfuscated as the Easter example, it's probably less useful than it says on the label...

> You must either think theft when needed to preserve life is morally justified or not.

If I must take a binary position, then yes. Theft when needed to preserve life is morally justified. In fact, it happens every day on a massive scale. Governments around the world seize up to half of what their citizens earn and redistribute it according to the needs of the whole, for example in order to save lives or support those who cannot support themselves for any of a number of reasons. I support the argument that taxation is theft, but not that it is wrong.

> If you want to argue that IP is not real ownership and should not exist [...]

I don't want to argue that IP is not real ownership. I want to argue that there is no such thing as real ownership, whether the property in question is physical or intellectual. Practical ownership is only what can be enforced through the monopolization of violence. Governments have the power to assert ownership of their citizens' earnings, but for the most part choose to allow citizens the privilege of keeping a portion of those earnings and pretend that they own the goods and services those earnings pay for.

This discussion has strayed quite a bit from the initial question of whether or not piracy = theft = bad. By challenging the reality of ownership, I'm trying to challenge the assertion that piracy is inherently bad because it infringes on ownership and ownership is a fundamental quality of the universe that cannot be rightly infringed upon.

That we choose to adopt certain principles, such as that of ownership, and act as if those principles are "true" in order to make sense of the world, is a perfectly legitimate practice, and I don't believe that you are wrong to do so.
