Yes, I think the requirements to hold literally the most powerful office on earth should be extraordinary. Realistically anyone who does it is set for life with five-figure speaking fees anyway so boohoo about their businesses.
Making drugs regulated and available to consenting adults would destroy the black market. This would make them not only far less available to kids or teenagers but also reduce deaths by ensuring a tested product.
> 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.

If Microsoft's theory is correct, under US law it is impossible to forbid this with a license, because a license is just an offer of additional permissions beyond what is available automatically under law, and Microsoft's theory is that ingesting code into GitHub is fair use and therefore permitted under law as an exception to copyright without any license from the copyright owner.

If Microsoft's theory is not correct, pretty much any license with an attribution requirement (among others, for other reasons) would work.

The idea that a special license is needed or of any use doesn't seem to have any justification, even in theory. (As is the idea that hosting publicly but not on GitHub changes the legal parameters.)
Words can deceive but behaviors never lie. I am inclined to believe what the West has to say about China, because China behaves in a way that gives veracity to many of the claims made by others about China, and what they are/aren't doing. Once you start making judgements based on behavior rather than "he-said/she-said", you will find that you make far more accurate decisions about things in general.
This is a good way for them to dogfood their own service (no pun intended). Though I wonder if the employees could just order lunch through the service, claim the order for pickup, then simply dine out to count for their turn.

May I ask what context you use it in? It looks like it strikes the right balance between simplicity and descriptive power - kinda like a statically typed python.

The web side of it seems rather different from a Flask or FastAPI setup, and it obviously doesn't have SQLAlchemy (which I really like). Do you have any recommendations on that front?

Counterpoint: psychedelics helped me overcome a lifelong problem with social anxiety and helped me to overcome fear of dancing in public. Over a decade later I can still say that the changes they made have had a profound and long-lasting positive impact on my life.
QRP: More Than a State of Mind
This is weird. Definitely not my experience at all. I visited Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu in China in 2012 and I felt extremely welcome wherever I went. I might also add that in Chengdu, a city which sees considerably less foreigners than the other two, I felt like I was being treated like somewhat of a celebrity, with people smiling at me everywhere, and random passer-bys on the street trying to impress me with their renditions of "Good Morning" or "How are you?". Once I had a visibly excited team of students randomly stop me on the street to do an interview with me for their class project, and on another occasion a large group of young people all wanted to take a picture with me one by one.

Needless to say, I loved it.
This correlates with some of the other reports I’ve read and I appreciate your skepticism. A “ban” is certainly not outside the realm of possibilities in China, especially given some of the new social policies, but we cannot afford to react like this whenever the word “China” makes its way into a headline if we want to draw attention to the real “bad” things.
I used to work Christmas pretty often.

One job, PC support could be brutally busy.

The other, tech support for some high end networking equipment was very quiet. I loved working holidays there. Mostly just played video games.

Always strange how the jobs that pay less often are more work / tiresome.
> I wish we could set aside the labels and say "I'm lazy and I want to buy therapy to help me deal with being lazy."

You can absolutely go to a therapist and say exactly that. You won't be turned away. Generally therapists are more interested in helping people versus labeling people.
This [0] video has a quite interesting proposal to add AD to compilers.

From twenty year ago. You say it’s in their DNA, but I’ll bet that the majority of people there now were not there 20 years ago. Old habits die hard, yes, but they do die.

Microsoft has committed to open source. Maybe it’s self fulfilling reasons, but that doesn’t mean we should brush it off. If some higher up decided to go open source for PR reasons, who cares? We should be embracing it. Shunning it will just make other companies think twice about open sourcing.

Also, this was done by a bot. Microsoft is big enough to have their own in-house council, and I can’t imagine them being stupid enough to risk everything over a copyright lawsuit with evidence like this that the whole world can see.
It is wrong as a specific statement about GitHub, because regardless of current practice, the legal theory for Copilot applies to any code anywhere, so anything that is publicly accessible would involve the same risk. It's not dependent on use of GitHub even if Microsoft has initially started their because it's easier for them.
You don't have to show your ID to check in?
Not a terrible idea for short term. I did 3 months in a deli while in college. It will be stable and free up your mental state for other things, just make sure you do those other things.

Oh. And we’re still lacking any kind of sockets support. There’s this thing I’m hearing about called the Internet that’s going to be big any day now and might need this.
> Therefore the only possible claim Microsoft have to do so is via terms and conditions

No, Microsoft's claim is fair use, not GitHub terms and conditions. You don't have to speculate on what you think their possible claims are, when they've publicly stated their actual claims.
Eh these days biggest trade partner for China is ASEAN, it will be much bigger of course if other Asia included. Especially when RCEP become effective.
I'm sure it could be used, however that would probably be a similar problem. Microsoft has internal libraries with all sorts of licenses. Replacing the actual licenses with a template wouldn't be the correct move there either.
I've sat in numerous pubs, coffee shops, restaurants and other social places by myself for many years, and in my experience people just let you be by yourself, doing your own thing.

(Just for clarity, I do have friends. I'm the sort who likes going out by themselves as well, though).

Although I've had people I don't know come and talk with me, and I'm friendly when they do, it's very unusual. I would bet on that happening maybe 1 in 20 nights out, and 1 in 50 times at a coffee shop. I would not say it takes hours, I'd say it takes weeks to months.

Sometimes I notice other people by themselves, usually old men, pint in hand for hours, saying and doing nothing. To me they look really sad like that and I don't feel like approaching them at all. I feel empathy but don't want to be involved. Myself, I've usually got a book or computer, or these days my phone. Maybe that makes me less approachable, but I'd rather that than doing nothing at all for a night.

However, even at times when I've gone out and just sat without any props, warming my hands by a fire or, seasonally, a nice christmas tree, nearly everyone is part of a small group of their own, and the phenomon you described where "someone will talk to you just because they notice you've been sitting there not talking to anyone" is still unusual.
> The bookkeeping that’s required when you spend government money.

Oh yeah. Acquiring government funding and the reporting for it is a big part of my day job. Coding still happens ... after midnight.

The funny thing is, I might even up as a beneficiary of this. And dump 50% of the money into technical work. The rest goes to the organizational overhead needed to get the funding in the first place. But the 50% technical work have to be the focus and acknowledged as the focus.

> 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.”

Looking at the teams-page of the OKF, that's a funny bunch. 90% did not work on open source prior to taking this gig (with just one or two shining counterexamples). And now they are doing it "for the love of it"?

It is okay to do open source as a normal dayjob. And teaching kids to code is important as well. I guess what pisses me off is the political class taking on roles of "thought leadership" in the "secret garden of the geeks" where entrance was once earned by hard, cold lines of code free of bugs.
Hopefully these comments are swiftly removed, so you’d have to screenshot them to share them.
It was “to the edge of time itself” which I guess is some kind of reference to the telescope being able to observe the early universe? It seemed kind of cheesy.
This comment highlights the ignorance of a lot of people in this thread jumping to conclusion and view MS instantly as an aggressor and themselves as victims of the obvious and horrible crime of copyright infringement.

A) Do you know it was not an honest mistake?

B) Why a complete understanding of esoteric legal copyright laws created by non-programmers all of a sudden so important to a mainly programmer HN audience?

The attitude in these threads always boggles my mind. When YOU, your teammates or someone else you know makes a mistake, then it’s just a mistake. But when someone at Microsoft makes a mistake it’s because Microsoft is evil and by extension so is the person who offended.

“It’s a big company”, you say. They should have a process! And I’m sad to say, they do/will have a process exactly because of this attitude. Then, everyone wonders why it takes forever to fix that bug they’re furious about or why features are slow to come.

Full disclosure: I work for MS, though have nothing to do with this. It’s a huge company. I know hundreds of people and most of them are upstanding and try to do the right thing.
> can't they get a trusted CA colluding with them in such a way that they can generate certificates on the fly and hence replacing the SSL certificate of every website that's get visited, decrypt and encrypt back?

As others have commented, it's a huge risk for that CA; once they're caught (and all that's needed as proof is the invalid certificate, which they have just sent to the user's browser), it's a death sentence for their CA business.

> Similarly, other vectors of attack are the IP routing and DNS. I do not understand the Noise protocol but couldn't an ISP or a government pretend to be man in the middle, between let us say a Signal user and its servers?

That used to be the case in the past, but nowadays most protocols (including Signal's) use some kind of cryptographic authentication, often the same TLS used by HTTPS. And since they are using a custom client instead of a generic browser, they can use some extra tricks like allowing only certificates signed by a couple of specific CAs, or even allowing only a specific set of trusted certificates, or using mutual certificate authentication (which breaks MITM since the proxy cannot forge the client's certificate to the server, even if the client trusts the forged server certificate).

It is 'to the edge of time' and what they mean with it is that the JWST can look very far back into our past to the earliest days of the universe with its instruments that are capable of observing severely red-shifted wavelengths.

Fantastic article. Searching the stock ticker (CSCW) on Reddit turned up some humorous old posts about how this penny stock is about to take off.
I would say this is because the experience of someone with “high-functioning,” or whatever euphemism we prefer now, autism is utterly different than that of someone with nonverbal autism (which is often comorbid with profound mental retardation). So different that they may as well be different conditions. It is pretty natural for laypeople to come to the understanding lamented here, that it goes from “a little” to “a lot,” if they’re told that people who present this differently are both autistic.

In fact I think many autistic community disputes are people talking past each other because of this difference. I guess they must have had a good reason, but eliminating them Asperger’s diagnosis would seem to me to just exacerbate the problem.
I'd be stoked to launch a space telescope as a christmas present! Congrats to them!
The method you used (Whois for the IP address) doesn't tell you where it's hosted, just the address the IP is registered to.

It's being announced by Amazon, has nearly 100k other domains associated with it [0] and a <3ms ping for me in Europe so I think this is just CloudFront.

Even assuming you could handle it (which is a huge assumption), you can not drive an F1 around on city streets. Ground clearance means will get hung up on the first driveway or minor road work you run into.
Facing discrimination when you are foreigner is pretty common in most countries. I think if you are from the white diaspora you wouldn't have noticed in the western countries but every time a friend (I am from India) goes to countries in NA & EU, there is almost always some form of discrimination preventing access to service or being overcharged without legal intervention.

The two of you sound like you're being dismissive of mental illnesses that cause immense suffering and are accusing people of just seeking attention or performance enhancing drugs. That's pretty fucked up.
Widely used does not at all imply that they’re financially or otherwise sustainable. See the OpenSSL debacle which was at least partially caused by lack of paid maintainer time. It’s not like the lack of funding for large open source projects gets mentioned every time a major bug is discovered in one of those widely used open source projects (log4j maybe?)

A lack of money also means that the pool of people working on public good (open source) projects self-selects to those that have the money to do that - and that’s limiting the pool and input into those projects.
What's high quality open source software? ffmpeg works well, I don't think an alternative would be much better. There will never be a software without bugs. The alternative would be spending tons of money for another piece of software with more bugs.
That’s whataboutism. Most liberal democracies didn’t invade anyone recently and have free press and a history of little recent human rights abuse.

It’s possible to criticize China on its own merits without somehow excusing anyone else.

I’d happily pay more for goods from manufacturers saying they avoid China. Hopefully this will be easier and cheaper in coming years.

Never heard of this event.

I wish. Trump getting elected normalized a lot of stuff that before then was simply not done and this in turn led to a lot of rightwing extremists breaking cover. They likely were already there before but the realization that their numbers were larger than they thought beforehand must have been the catalyst that triggered this.

But it's definitely waning, and good riddance.
Independent researchers is not the same as a government health agency. Presumably these independent researchers don’t also have your private health data.

And again, if it’s not big deal why wasn’t the Canadian public health agency transparent about it from the beginning?
Much of that depends on corporate culture. Often it is the lower-paid and more junior people who get the bad shifts. But in my organization (military) it is normal for the more senior people to work those shifts. Responsibility for mission-critical tasks falls upwards. If you are only going to have one person on shift, then that person cannot be a trainee. So all the people I interacted with this morning were relatively senior within their team.
You are correct.

I just want to say that I believe the fair use argument only applies for training, but not for distribution. I make the case for that in [1].

It will be interesting when Tesla and Waymo moves to transformer architecture, but as you wrote my guess is that it's not yet in production for vision tasks.
A lot of (most?) type systems can enforce this, but don't by default.

You'd define a class "SanitizedStr" (or in this particular case "Path") and have all path operations work on that.

Python's pathlib sort of does this, although there's still attacks possible with stuff like joining with an absolute path.

UK, for the record
I was disappointed the first time I took mushrooms because I didn't see pink elephants. I thought I hadn't taken a high enough dosage. In its place I took a deep trip that allowed me to reflect on where I was in my life, which was more profound then seeing pink elephants. Oddly it too me a couple of weeks to realize that was the point.
It's a ridiculously complicated machine built to peer into the beginnings of the universe and sniff out indications of life across our galaxy. I think people could cut them a little slack. I'm sure they had amazingly complex issues and obstacles to overcome.
Well, maybe that’s what’s happening. Or maybe a lot more people have realized they’re likely autistic than in the past. Getting a diagnosis seems like a lot of trouble to be “trendy.”
Oh I see, yeah. I just wish the US folks would realize how right-wing even the Democratic party is.

But yeah, let's hope Lord Dampnut's election was just a protest vote.

Are you saying China isn't constantly monitoring their population? Are they not the dystopian dictatorship they pretend not to be? I am not so sure I can be convinced when they literally tell citizens how long they can and cannot play video games.... Sorry, behaviors don't lie.

There are people who make a nice living just pumping fake companies over and over in the penny stock market or to D-list VCs. These are the white collar equivalent of what cops call “greasy crimes,” crimes not quite serious enough to get real attention. (The dumb street crime epidemic in California is a result of further dialing back enforcement of “greasy crimes.”)

I’m sure those types are all over this NFT craze.

> I think this whole christmas thing makes a lot of people feel alone and depressed. I hate that.

My children think “this whole Christmas thing” is the very best day of the year. And there is nothing that brings me more joy than watching them make memories they’ll cherish all of their days - memories like the ones I made when I was a kid. So no, it is not a day like many others. It’s Christmas, and it’s special to me and mine.

I have genuine sadness that you don’t share in the same joy my children experience in the the wonder and joy this Holiday brings. But I find it contemptible that you would diminish the joy others have in Christmas in order to justify your own malcontent.

Other people’s joy is not your problem and not something that needs fixing.
