As individuals, they're probably not intentionally doing this. Autism has just expanded to being so vague that people think it may actually be the reason they're not happy, or the reason they're secretly special. Walking into an autistic identity by imitating people whom you know as autistic could subjectively feel like dropping the pretenses of being normal and expressing your true autistic self.
I have good memory. I always stood one mile from anything that MS does. The new generation that is easily scammed by flashy stuff like VS code is in for a treat.

Sure, could be. I guess i'd expect Microsoft to have company-wide processes and practises when working with OSS though. Could be wishful thinking.
Thanks for whoever did this, a nice resource! I have been forced to use Python for many years because I am mostly payed to do deep learning. I really enjoyed carefully reading through this. Good job.
I often wish HN had an official forum, or even a discord, where people could discuss whatever and not just trending articles. There are many like minded people here, so it feels like it could be more of an online community than it is right now.

Anyway, indeed, virtual hugs to those alone these holidays!
Im out of the loop about this. What are you talking about?
No judgment from me since I suspect it is also an accident and I’ve made enough in my life that I don’t get super judgy in most cases. But what purpose is there for a bot that forks and makes changes like adding template files? Copyright aside, I don’t understand the value of this bot.

Let's be honest the James Webb space telescope was not a priority like the Manhattan project or Apollo program was.

> And I still find it surreal that people in world's richest country live in wooden houses.

A lot of those people live in seismically active areas. While modern masonry construction is certainly safer than traditional masonry, in general wood is far less dangerous than stone or brick in an earthquake.
I see nothing here to suggest that the author is missing the point of “a gradient”; on the contrary, she knows what it is, that it is not what is meant by “spectrum” here, and argues persuasively that mistaking the latter for the former causes misunderstanding.

Here, she is giving an example of how this can happen:

“My doctor recently referred to my autism is “mild.” I gently pointed to my psychologist’s report which stated that my executive dysfunction as being greater than 99th percentile.

“”That means I am less functional than 99% of people. Does that seem mild to you?” I asked her.

“But, you see, I can speak, and I can look people in the eyes, so they see my autism as “mild.” My autism affects those around me mildly but my autism does affect me severely.“
Things get philosophical rather quickly I'm afraid.
If I misconfigure an FTP server, and you download some MIT code that I stripped the copyrights from, does that count as redistribution?
Not really. The Iraq war was horrible and unnecessary and I doubt you’ll find too many people here who’ll say otherwise.

I was wondering about the JWST being exposed to micro-meteoroids, seems someone asked this question several years ago, and received a solid answer.

I knew it would have been thought about but was just curious about the reasoning behind it.
That's true, I've just noticed that. I wish there was an EU-wide initiative available.
This would be the first terrifying step an AI would take to begin world domination.
> have you noticed which country is the source of this war against evil communist dictatorship?

IMO, you would be mistaken if you view the positions of American allies (Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, UK, etc.) here as client states simply falling in line with their master's opinion. Though the USA is certainly influential on them.

Whether justified or not, the recent hardening of anti-Chinese-government positions from these countries seem to be largely independent actions, based on their own evaluations of their geopolitical security situation, which come to similar conclusions as the USA. In the case of Australia and Japan and Korea in particular, the current hard line taken actually predates the mid-2010s shift in America.
It does work with Firefox on my end...

Also hosting it yourself doesn't mean that you do everything yourself.

Your statements are inexplicably linked to your own biases. They are true for you, but only you.

An F1 car wouldn’t work for a family with kids but I’d love to daily one of those.

Nothing is absolute. Nothing is typical. An “NT” person in Japan is not the same as one in the US. Where do you draw the line? I posit you don’t. There isn’t a line. There isn’t a typical case. We are all so vastly different, often in ways we cannot see or understand.
Are you comparing paid/commercial content to private data that requires authentication? They might both require a login, but c'mon man. Not the same at all. Of course Google doesn't index my company's private intranet. But yes, they do index content that's available to the public but requires a subscription.
I'm including licensing notices in several of my private repositories to prevent inclusion in ML training data sets.

I might put this in my public ones as well.
“Using mypy gives you the type safety if a compiled language” is far from the truth. Each tool has things that they don’t catch, or things that they sometimes false alert on.

Yeah mypy will get you maybe 90% of the way there, but the swiss cheese approach of stacking a few tools, even though there are redundancies, helps plug almost all of the holes.

People can argue about unit tests all day, but there’s very little cost to stacking multiple static analysis tools.

I would't call a honest mistake some bot that is created to change code to a MS license. First of all, this kind of thing needs to be done after careful review, if they're doing it in an automated fashion there is almost the certainty that they'll take somebody else's work as their own.
Well you would have to work very hard for things that you can get with no effort in western society such as traveling abroad. Also subject to many conditions including that your parents had never showed any descent etc.
> Wait, what? Because they had a bloody war they couldn’t actually deliver what they promised?

They delivered on independence from colonial powers, and on gaining self determination. No small feat!

I'm not sure what you believe they promised.

Vietnam was devastated as a country. The land itself, and the people. Countless Vietnamese were killed, far more than whatever the US lost in the war. The US did a number on them, the effects of which are still felt. It's a wonder these days they don't hate America (which by all accounts they don't).

Initial admiration for US values naturally fell once the US waged war on them, and within Vietnam leadership the hardliners gained power. Being attacked tends to give voice to the hardliners and sideline the "liberals".

It's a matter of record Ho Chi Minh initially admired the US and expected their support. It's a matter of record the US feared he would win the elections and so they cancelled them. You can argue till you're blue in the face, those two facts will remain.

DAO's for one. The implications are broad enough that you could easily feign ignorance or straw-man what they mean. Unless you think the innovation behind Bitcoin is useless, then its hard not to be excited about how that innovation generalizes which is exactly the vision if not quite the result of smart contracts.
I say to myself I'm a little bit autistic. But I'm not really sure.

I fit the profile of person one in the article.

The reason I'm wondering / even looking at autism is because the meds for my ADHD just make everything worse even at really small doses and I don't really know what to do.
I think the answer is:
we don't know the copyright consequences of copilot yet. It's certainly a legal gray area, and it has not been challenged in court yet.

There are quite a few companies where copilot and copoilot-like technologies seem radioactive at least for the moment.
Most of these attacks are blocked by the use of certificates (basic proxying) and certificate pinning.

It has been tried before; if you for instance generate certificates for the gmail domains Google will quickly find out because their applications refuse to connect to their sites using certificates that aren’t signed by the right authority.

And with certificate transparency it becomes ever more obvious if try to pull tricks.

Free or open source licenses aren’t a lack of copyright. They are an exercise of copyright. All of that code that you didn’t write is still copyrighted by their original authors. You simply have permission to use it under the criteria outlined in the license.
When googling random pinout drawings from the web it's often very unclear whether the pinout drawing is showing e.g. the connector from the front or from the back (solder side).

This problem is solved quite neatly here using multiple drawings of the connectors from different angles, arranged in a logical way around the main pinout drawing.
Yes, this is absolutely the case. Public health leadership is flying in the dark about the evolution of the virus.
I recommend reading up on what the psychologist John Gottman calls a "bid for connection," specifically about not taking it at face value but recognizing it as a genuine attempt at building rapport.

Nevertheless, you aren't alone in interpreting such bids in a negative way. I sometimes ask people, especially defense clients, straight up: "Are you a person who finds comfort in discussing times when others have faced similar problems, even if there are still a lot of differences? Or would that make you feel that you weren't being heard as an individual?"
> headlines such as "The Universe is growing faster than it should" or "How science tells us the Pandemic will end once everyone is vaccinated".

Such headlines are the hallmark of popular science journals, who indeed seem to do damage to the credibility of science by riding the clickbait wave.
How does that make what 37ef_ced3 said wrong? I’m not following your logic.
You wouldn't believe how long "harmless mistakes" are maintained without correction, as long as they're benefiting a big company.
Hmm! Yes, you're right. Even though I knew exactly how it works and I sometimes use it, I still got confused, so maybe it is a confusing feature after all. :)
It surely depends on the time and the country, but for late 80s in Poland this stuff was available to regular party people, not “elite”. Party membership essentially meant you had to sign up and then avoid conflicts with the law and not get drunk too often, and that’s pretty much it. The party membership was less about party in a western, political sense, and more like being a good Boy Scout. I believe that’s also what party membership means today in China.

(Disclaimer: my grandpa was a party member, he managed local part of the polish power grid.)
AGI is orders of magnitude more complex than the toys we're playing with in machine learning today.

It's like building a factory and then expecting factories that build themselves to be right around the corner.

They're just such different beasts and so far away from each other.
I went from a completely sedentary desk life to running a half-marathon in 7 months (includes a 1 month groin injury). On a treadmill, training myself.

You can do it, too, and the effect on mood is spectacular. In fact the effect on mood comes way before a half-marathon. So don’t get overwhelmed and think you have to do that much.
It's the worst for sure. Managed to kick instagram for a month, but ended up going back when I had some down time.

Regarding my question, I was wondering if I was missing something else within the article, which I feel like I do a lot of the time :) Glad to know that I actually got it.
As of recently I started examining myself as well, but only ocasionally. I will try to perform it in more depth, Thanks!

To give my two cents, for a more effective experience I recommend getting to know the most common cognitive biases and trying to spot all of which we are subject to.

It's indeed a mind opening experience :)
Oppenheimer quoted the Baghavad Ghita in his first statement after the Trinity test. Scientists are humans too.
That’s not true. You can change the license if the license allows you to. It’s copyright you can’t change unless the author assigns the copyright to you.
At an organization as large as DoorDash, that simply isn't true for IC engineers. Their job is to implement the product requirements.

It might be more sensible to provide the option to do deliveries, to the engineers who are interested. Their voluntary interest in improving the product is a positive sign that they may develop beyond their current role.

Edit: I meant to add, as others mentioned, there are other departments who would more benefit from this program. As I suggested above, the product requirements come from a long line of bureaucrats: the product designers and business analysts are primed to make the most of this program.
That's all fine and dandy; except what every comment here fails to challenge is "how did the data make actual decisions?"

Because as a Canadian, living in a prairie province, all the COVID-19 measures certainly didn't indicate any sort of intense number crunching took place. "No serving drinks past 11", "50% store capacity", "gathering limited to 15 people", etc etc.... All numbers that appear to be just like any other mandate - arbitrarily chosen in the moment.
Yes yes the board that vies for more sovereign web architecture and values user control and consent cannot grasp the vision behind Web3. And you wonder why sarcasm is all the energy you are worth.
>where every developer in the company was handed a new M1 this month

That's pretty interesting. They deploy, I assume to jitted ruby on X64 boxes, but will develop on M1 Macbooks. I suppose they probably have some kind of automated performance/crash/leak/etc regression tests in the pipeline?
Obviously thats the outcome, but thats not anyone's problem except the developer, and buyers know the price going into their purchase.

For example, if I can cram 14 windowless apartments into the same floor, is it really unfair that that 4 tenants would have to pay more than the 14?

True. A friend of mine got diagnosed with adhd and it was like 15 questions( mostly the same kind) et voila adhd.

I got adhd since a kid and i the test was the same. Only they asked the parents and not me. But i think i rly got it…

Its like the south park episode where kids got diagnosed because the bible bored them…
Humans submit NSFW text content to platforms that are no intended to host such content (like chats in video games or reviews for products). It is typically too expensive for a company to hire humans to review all text content, so they may want an ML model that can help them identify the unwanted text.
The paying viewers, possibly. The vast majority of viewers are surely metric?
My team has code, MIT and GPL, on GitHub. We know the risk of this kind of theft. We remain on GitHub for the discoverability. It's not so absolute.
What is China going to do? Tell their corporations to take on trillions upon trillions of foreign currency denominated debt, become unable to repay it, default on it all and go bankrupt?

The people behind this study are the open knowledge foundation germany - a foundation that exists since a decade, not just some random people that met and thought “oh cool, let’s rip off some government money.” The OKFN runs Jugend Hackt, the prototype fund and other projects. They’re doing actual work - the work that makes all the money come in that then gets distributed. The bookkeeping that’s required when you spend government money. You may not consider that “work”, but you’re wrong. I’d rather do five days of coding than one day of books.

Some people are a little black. Not everything should operate by the one-drop rules of American slavery. I don't think many people are saying "everyone" is a little autistic.
That version doesn't work. It raises KeyError on the first iteration if the if statement is false.

The point of the for / else is that the else only gets evaluated when the for terminates without a break. So in the example you only get a KeyError if the search() never returns val.

Part of the confusion I guess is that the else: in my example is paired with for, not with if, Python indentation being significant etc.
You’re not alone, but you are unique. You’re existence is the only thing that can compute what comes next on this trajectory. There is a space of possibilities ahead of you that never have and never will be available to anyone else, ever. As such, you are infinitely and uniquely valuable.

It's quite interesting how it seems to have come full circle, at least according to this stackoverflow comment about Stallman releasing a paper in 1992 on how to effectively launder AT&T code via textual changes (I have no idea if he did, I just remembered the comment):

Just wait until they auction off the frozen body of Ted Williams in a hundred years or so. The moral questions over private correspondence will pale in comparison.

I imagine if buying dead people becomes as commonplace as buying art, some future Cards Against Humanity performative comedy outfit might try an analogously outrageous "cut up a Picasso" stunt.

Which is all to say that selling love letters is relatively tame in the scheme of all the things that happen after we die.
I wonder what kind of language you would need to add to your license in order to explicitly forbid the ingestion of your code by Copilot and/or like projects.
It depends on how that code is licensed. Possibly the random person gets served with a summons. Possibly nothing.
This, the reason why we have the DMCA is to protect copyright holders, now the copyright holders should exercise their right.
Indeed, the actual Ponzi scheme is the fiat monetary system, where the issuers of money gain at the expense of savers.

Bitcoin merely intends to offer a way out: long-term, if demand stabilizes, it should merely match inflation.

But for the next few years or so, I'd expect it to keep growing, which means a lot of volatility.

Unit tests shouldn’t be creating directories in the first place - any outside interaction ought to be mocked out anyway.
Why the scare quotes around mistake? Are you implying that it's intentional? Or negligence? It seems like nobody noticed the CUPS license change until now, so it's irrelevant, right?
Didn't know about this, very interesting read!
So sure, this is far from a good look. But the verdict is still out on if it is an unfortunate mistake or malicious.

It's far from the first time I see this kind of reaction and, IMO, rather than everyone spending time on piling on the flamewar, how about opening the door for MS to set this straight and do the right thing? Assume good faith even if you personally don't sincerely believe it? Give them an easy way to save face and present a plausible narrative rather than having everyone dig their trenches deeper? If you'd prefer MS not to screw people over, it helps no one to solidify them in doing just that.

Already so many people shouting "YOU ARE THE DEVIL", not one going "hey, looks like this is a mistake, let's sort it out". IMO the latter is more constructive. It's almost as if people want Microsoft to do bad things. Remember it's a huge organization with all kinds of people and ideologies internally. It's too early to tell which way the individual behind this particular change is leaning.

It took me all of 1-2 minutes to make this PR[0], probably less than any of the meme pictures in that commit thread. Let's see how it goes. Last time it went through[1].

Don’t feel like a failure over the relationship. Remember the default state of relationships is failure, well over 50% break up or the couple is miserable but still stay together anyway for various reasons. Try to learn from any mistakes you made when you get into the next one.
Well, that is what updating the license accomplishes.

I’d be interested to know if code subject to DCMA takedown would be removed from the copilot training set…
